A:D:A:P:T |
Held on May 15, 2003, the A:D:A:P:T Festival was
Denver's first annual digital media festival, graciously hosted at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art. The event featured several hours of live audio and visual performances, as well as installations and computer kiosks. Around the theme, "Music and Media for Ruins", the digital exhiibit featured new interactive pieces from students of my Advanced Digital Audio Production class, as well as more than twenty web-based works from artists working in Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Brazil, the UK, and the US.
For the 2005-2006 academic year, A:D:A:P:T will extend into a series format, bringing visiting scholars to lecture and conduct special seminar sessions with DU undergraduates, graduates, and faculty. The series will also host visiting artists to perform and conduct workshops or software demos. On tap for Fall 2005 was Gene Youngblood, whose contributions established a foundation of historical and critical content around the evolution of the moving image in new media.
Next, A:D:A:P:T teamed up with the Lunar Lodge crew to host Safety Scissors and Ben Nevile for a night of live music and VJ sets.. Both artists also program for Cycling `74, and the pair conducted a demo that covered both their specific use of this software in their own performance, and the perspective of designing audio and video production environments for other composers, artists, and performers.
We cap off the fall/winter cycle by hosting Derek Holzer and Sara Kolster from UMATIC in Utrect, Holland, to perform their original live cinema piece, “resonanCity,” and conduct a two-week workshop in this genre.
