“Documenting Durational Live Performance Art Using Social Media -
The Work Of Joseph Delappe” at iMAL
For his research project Documenting Durational Live Performance Art Using Social Media, Sven Goyvaerts examines several aspects of the work of media artist Joseph DeLappe. Sven Goyvaerts is second year student at Transmedia Postgraduate Program in Arts + Media + Design and participant in a.pt (advanced performance training), a 12-month post-master performance research programme based in Antwerp.

Peter Beyls writes computer programmes that take artistic decisions. They operate autonomously or as interactive partners that have visual or musical intelligence.
Beyls is interested in spontaneous interaction with machines, in particular with the social aspects of interacting with computers. How can a machine express a unique character and yet still remain alert to changes going on in the world? Interaction is interpreted as a complex dynamic process where people and machines are linked within an abstract dialogue. The main themes are the mutual influences of behaviour, shared initiative and room for surprise. They are all principles that contribute to a deep form of man-machine interaction.
Individual presentations by first and second year Transmedia students.

An Associate Professor in the Department of Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Higgins is currently a Senior Fellow at the Phillips-UIUC Center for the Study of Modern Art in Washington and the daughter of Fluxus artists Alison Knowles and Dick Higgins. Higgins is the author of Fluxus Experience (University of California Press, 2002) and The Grid Book (MIT Press, 2009). Her recent work charts the history of Western culture through the lens of its grids from the brick to the World Wide Web.
She is currently finishing an edited anthology with Douglas Kahn called Mainframe Experimentalism, which details the mainframe phase of experimental computer art from 1960-1970 (University of California Press, expected 2010). She is also working on a book on the legacy of Black Mountain College, a small school in North Carolina. This project is provisionally called The Long Shadow of the Supine Dome.

Shapeshifters – www.shapeshifters.be – was founded by teachers from the Graphic Design department and Transmedia at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas in Brussels (Inge Gobert, Johan Van Looveren, Steven Devleminck and Johan Stuyck).
Marius Watz is an artist working with visual abstraction through generative systems. After abandoning his studies in Computer Science, he pursued graphic design and media art in parallel, becoming known for his hard-edged geometric compositions and bold use of colors. After winning multiple awards for his design work, he was featured in I.D. Magazine’s “40 under 30” list in 2000.
In 2002 Watz quit design to focus on his artwork, exploring software processes as an aesthetic medium. He has since exhibited at venues like Todaysart (The Hague), Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Melkweg (Amsterdam), ITAU Cultural (São Paulo) and Club Transmediale (Berlin). He continues to explore the boundaries of code as method, producing work that ranges from realtime software works to physical output using digital fabrication technology.
In 2005 Watz founded Generator.x, a curatorial platform that has resulted in a series of events related to generative art and design, including a conference, a travelling exhibition and an audiovisual concert tour. The most recent incarnation, Generator.x 2.0, focused on digital fabrication and computational architectural processes and was a part of the Club Transmediale 2008 festival.
Watz is a lecturer at the Oslo School of Architecture and at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Department of design. He presents workshops and lectures on computational aesthetics, live cinema and digital fabrication. He also does audiovisual performances with musician Alexander Rishaug.
Marius Watz is represented by [DAM]Berlin. He is currently based in Oslo and New York.
