CeC 2010 - 5th in a row
(partner of NewMediaFest’2010)
The 5th annual Carnival of e-Creativity (CeC 2010) is looking all on schedule to bring together a fantastic canvas of participation and content from all over India and the world, through February 19-20-21, 2010, at the Sattal Estate, up in the Lower Himalaya of the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
In terms of this being just one tiny little stream in the whole global gamut of activities revolving variously around Creative & Experimental New Media, the genesis of this incident can be traced back to the first CD-gazette of “The Indian Documentary of Electronic Arts”, published in January 2000 (The IDEA #1). But of course, The IDEA itself first went on to become a series of 7 separate CD-gazettes, published sequentially every half-year or so through about 2000-2004.
MANIPULATED IMAGE

HISTORY OF MANIPULATED IMAGE
In February of 2009, Alysse Stepanian launched Manipulated Image with the support of the Santa Fe Complex, a young and progressive organization founded by scientists, technologists, and artists. Manipulated Image has been a pioneering program in bringing a global community of experimental video artists to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the US. It has increased worldwide opportunities for local artists by giving wider exposure to their work, and has provided a venue for artists from around the globe to have their work shown in the US.
Manipulated Image features short experimental videos by artists that explore the innovative use of technology and software to manipulate image. The online catalogue of past events includes artist statements, bios, images, and links to artist websites.
VisualContainer
[VideoChannel partner presented on MICROWAVE Hong Kong 2009]
The not-for-profit association VisualContainer was launched in Milan (Italy) in 2008 in order to distribute and promote videoart works and projects in Italy and abroad.
Striving to configure a pole of collection, research, study and promotion of video artworks by artists at any level of career, upon pointing out the lack of a qualified video and new media-art distributor in Italy, VisualContainer is the first Italian operator to fill in such gaps.

Nature Transformer
[Partner festival 2009]
As we evolve into an increasingly automated society of convenience, technology becomes a vital appendage of our bodies; allowing hard workers to no longer separate between day and night, making us feel restless every time the mobile phone is left at home. But is our love affair with technology making life better, or turning into a weapon of mass destruction against our planet?
In 2009, Microwave International New Media Arts Festival wants to examine our relationship with nature, as both sides struggle to take on challenges we continuously provide each other with. Presenting artworks that combine academic research, creative concepts and environmental awareness, this year we hope to bring to Hong Kong ideas that will trigger self-reflexive contemplation, leading to a better understanding of our correlation with nature, the extent of it, and the significance of it.

Fonlad at MIDAC
The art of the XXI century is headed sharply to a digital form where the support is no longer the object: in the wide world before us through the thousands of computer networks that link us all over the world, the Internet becomes not only as a important mean of artistic disseminating but also a creative one.
OK. Video COMEDY
4th Jakarta Internasional Video Festival
28 July – 9 August 2009
[CologneOFF partner festival 2009]
Video art has developed along with the expansion and advancement of technology. Different from other media, the development of video art has always involved complex progress, advancement, sophistication as well as complication of video as an applied technology, which has expanded its ability to generate limitless layers of meaning. The encounter of video technology and moving images in the era of global media has changed the way in which people perceive the reality.
Many works have proved that video art, as a set of practices based on theory, can point out, reflect and comment on many issues in the contemporary society. Some video artists have attempted to approach the issues of technological impact of video with specific perspectives and localities, including more general problems and questions raised around the relationship and its fused border between “real” and “illusory”, “original” and “copies”, as well as “truth” and “falsehood”. Sometimes, their commentaries go so far as to argue that the distinction between those binary oppositions implies the problem of the hegemony politics.
O.K. Video – Jakarta Video Festival is trying to raise the issues of technological power of video to incite a “floating awareness” in everyday life, and more importantly, to trigger critical apprehension of the moving images. Video art should not merely be a tool that can convey information, ideas or messages, but should give sharper insights to the way we see the reality which is largely modified by technology and mass media.

Introduction
One day aliens decided to multiply on earth. Sumatrans tell this saga on their clay tablets. They are the only ones who have done so. In fact, aliens landed between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Right away, we can see in the aforementioned a tendency towards pleasantry. They designate a planet of the solar system as their star of origin. A big gassy one which smokes a bit of sulphur and ammonia by swirling its cloud masses. The aliens are afraid of nothing and resist everything.
Only beasts in the universe that no law of physics can restrain, they are also beings of taste, sensitive to oxygenated atmospheres rather than hydrogenated. They love green, pastoral and restful expanses. Their size is that of giants. The Sumatrans teach us about this subject as well. A bas-relief representing one of these visitors sitting in profile on a throne, to which two men standing before him, show homage. Considering the average size of a Sumatran as round about 1m70, the alien, once standing would measure 3 meters. There we have the first definition of giants and it’s wrong. He is far too small.
