++ the detailz:


So over the past month or so there has been a lot of discussion and
planning for the first Capital/MUTEK Interactive this year at MUTEK.
Speak and Spell will be a platform for ideas, exchange and
documentation of a number of different aspects of the performances,
panels, workshops, artists, audience and concepts being brought to the
forefront through the Festival.   Those around the world are encouraged
to get online and check out the festival, the interviews, the shows,
and give back their feedback on our online digital web log through
ZEDTV at www.zed.cbc.ca/mutek to get involved.  As well as commentary,
we encourage those online to upload content to this ongoing dialogue,
which will all work towards a final creation during the final stages of
the festival.   As well, on the weekend we will be showing the entire
compiled installation as it surfaces on the mutek site at www.mutek.ca.
  Below is the overall synopsis of the presentation we are doing, and we
look forward to everyone out there contributing to the project.


Concept
Presentation:  ?Speak and Spell¹ : CapitalMUTEK Interactive: 04.
    Capital TV, in cooperation with Mutek, NewForms and ZED TV, will set
up a local broadcasting network to provide extensive sampling of
events, commentary, soundbites and visuals taking place within
Ex-Centris the SAT, and Metropolis during the festival.  Others filming
and recording will be encouraged to participate in this real time
installation, that will be uploaded for viewing on zed.cbc.ca and
capitalmag.com as soon as each section is finished.  Footage shot and
produced in the Mutek Workspace and other festival locations will be
edited and post-produced in a mobile mini television studio. The
stories and reports will be broadcasted online on capitalmag.com, and
zed.ca, as well as shown locally on a screen at the Mutek partnering
venues once a day if this is a possibility.  Capital wants to invite a
group of independent producers to come and shoot a series of short
video reports and interviews for the Internet. These people can come
both from the Capital and NewForms crew as well as local artists
interested in participating in the project.  Another element of this
piece will be a live booth at the S.A.T. where people can email,
interact and discuss issues live by uploading these thoughts directly
to the zed site.  People will be able to come and raise issues,
concerns and information about MUTEK, electronic music, culture and
politics today and how this effect¹s the art and culture being
displayed in the festival.   Writings, photos, and any other mediums
are encouraged and may be brought forward and converged into the online
pieces.  At the conclusion of the festival, a video will be cut and
available showing the final creations of ?Speak and Spell¹ :
CapitalMUTEK Interactive: 04.

Topics to be discussed:
- 'Digital Cultures in the 21C: Music, Video and Beyond'
the rise of digital cutlture and media as the present art form it has
taken
- 'Remixing, Sampling and Stealing --  Stirring Shit Up in Future Media'
the effect of electronic ideology on the future of media

- Digging into the Heart of Laptop Performance.
dancing to a laptop show, what sitting on the floor at Ex-Centris is
like, why people come, how people deal with and interact with this kind
of so-called 'faceless' performance:  dispelling the myths and showing
the warmth found within the scene.
