/// Workshop Call
/// Satellite Voyeurism | July 20 - 22, 2007
/// Application Deadline: June 29

The Workshop „Satellite Voyeurism“ addresses questions of production and
reception of satellite images. In addition to public lectures by
international media artists, committed scientists and commercial
companies’ representatives of the regions’ geo-data industry, a two day
workshop program with up to 12 participants takes place. Within the
hands-on part the participants learn how to use a simple antenna,
computer, soundcard combination to retrieve satellite images of NOAA
satellites, and share own ideas and projects with the other
participants. Both lectures and workshop discuss the image quality of
satellite images but of course the subject will also touch upon the
field of locative media, as GPS, GIS.

Through the workshop the basis for a publication shall be created, which
includes documentation about recent media art projects in the field of
mapping, satellite images and satellite technology.
The workshop is open to 12 participants. Participants will get free
accommodation and depending on the distance we can partly support the
travel costs. There is no workshop fee. With the participation in the
workshop the participants agree to actively support the production of a
documentation (deadline for texts October 15). In order to apply for the
workshop, please let us know, why would you like to like to participate,
what’s your field of interest, and what exactly you would present to the
other participants. Please also send a short CV.
All material to info@hmkv.de.
Application Deadline June 29.

/// About Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund
HMKV serves as a platform for the production, presentation, education on
and contextualisation of contemporary and experimental media art. The
activities of HMKV deal, in different formats, with the theme „Augmented
Space“: in exhibitions, workshops, performances, symposia, publications,
Internet applications and in European research projects. The success of
last year’s „How I learned to love RFID“ workshop at HMKV and the
emergence of popular geographic mapping tools led to the development of
the „Satellite Voyeurism“ workshop in 2007, directed by Francis Hunger.
