			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plenty of people gathered today to sign a master plan for the future of culture in Brussels.<br />
The Brussels Kunstenoverleg (BKO) and the Réseau des Arts à Bruxelles (RAB) are coordinating this ambitious initiative.<br />
These two cultural networks bring together more than 90 cultural institutions in the Brussels region of Belgium: theatres, companies, art labs, festivals, etcetera; small organizations as well as big institutes.</p>
<p>Since our complex Belgian federal system makes life extremely complicated for cultural initiatives in Brussels, it was about time that all our harsh frustrations and the ideas that rose from this complexity were formulated in a positive, ambitious and grand way.</p>
<p>And <a title="Cultural plan" href="http://www.reseaudesartsabruxelles.be/node/2884" target="_blank">here</a> we have it.  2 Years of hard work.  Hardly an object to be tucked away in the bookshelf, but a publication to be seen as a writing pad.  Yes, a place to scribble away and transform 2 years of &#8216;talktalk&#8217; into &#8216;the real thing&#8217;!  Join forces and attack!</p>

The second workshop on autonomous energy systems and photovoltaics has come to a close.  A practical workshop this time!</p>
<p>Experts in the field came round to explain the technicalities behind this exciting technology and to help develop the ideas of the artists.  Not only did the artist have helpful one-on-one sessions with these tech wizards, they also had a great opportunity to exchange thoughts with the other participants.</p>
<p>It was intriguing to see the interaction between scientists and artists, both of whom build worlds, but in a very different way.  Pictures of the workshop <a title="Workshop 2 nadine" href="http://nadine.be/2009/workshop2/index.html" target="_blank">can be found here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>They will be sharing one last intense week together at P-af at the begining of September during a third hands-on session.</p>
<p>Artslab <em>nadine</em> acts not only as an organiser, but also as an active partner that lends its support to artists who are interested in this matter and want to apply it to their work.</p>
<p>&#8211;Below you can find a Dutch resumé of the workshop by Loes Jacobs, one of the participants:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">De workshop Autonomous Energy Systems is gekaderd in een reeks van drie modules, geïnitieerd door bartaku. Tijdens de vorige workshop werd er onderzocht wat de mogelijkheden van photovoltaics zijn en hoe we zelf zonne-cellen kunnen bouwen. De conclusie was toen vooral dat opslag van energie van groot belang is om natuurlijk gewonnen energie daadwerkelijk te kunnen gebruiken. Deze volgende workshop had de opslag van energie en het maken van autonome energie systemen als onderwerp en hoe bijgevolg zonne-energie praktisch gebruikt kan worden.<br />
Deelnemers presenteerden eigen projecten die ze autonoom wilden laten werken, i.e. zonder gebruik te maken van het elektriciteitsnetwerk. nadine treedt als platform op voor deze workshops om artiesten, die interesse hebben voor deze materie en ze praktisch willen toepassen in hun werk, ondersteunen.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">Begeleiders Patrick De Koning en Jan De Capelle van de Katholiek  Hogeschool in Gent. De eerste dag trokken we naar Gent naar het labo van de technologiecampus waar het team van dr. Jan De Capelle een algemene introductie gaf tot energie-opwekking en de opslag ervan, allerhande manieren om energie op te wekken demonstreerde, alsook een inleiding over<br />
verschillende soorten batterijen gaf.<br />
Het werd een boeiende ontmoeting en informatie-uitwisseling was tussen technologists en artiesten. Beide werken echter op een zeer verschillende schaal, de ene op industrieel en theoretisch niveau en de andere op kleine praktische schaal voor artistieke toepassingen.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">De twee volgende dagen vonden plaats bij nadine in Schaarbeek, waar Patrick De Koning en Bart Vandeput optraden als begeleiders. Hands-on werd iedereen persoonlijk begeleidt bij de uitwerking van de projecten die zeer divers bleken. Thomas Laureyssens probeerde photovoltaische cellen te hergebruiken en in specifieke vormen te maken voor een installatie en<br />
werkte ook naar een bepaalde esthetiek die in zonne-cellen te vinden zijn. Olivier Meunier en Wendy Van Wynsberghe voedden een Arduino board via zonne-energie en kijken in de toekomst naar mogelijkheden met windenergie. Tim Rottiers ontwikkelde audio en licht modules die autonoom kunnen werken. Alexander Nieuwenhuis deed vooral research naar mogelijkheden met</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">zonne-energie in de theaterwereld. Christina Stadlbauer en Loes Jacobs voedden een camera en microfoon met zonne-energie. Cindy Janssens en Maarten Coppens ontwikkelden muziekkasten die autonoom in de open lucht kunnen spelen.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">Hoofdreden om autonome systemen te maken was vooral om overal installaties te kunnen laten werken en uiteraard binnen het gedachtegoed van milieuvriendelijke projecten op te kunnen zetten.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">De laatste dag werd een roundup gegeven van ieders project om te weten hoever iedereen stond en welke problemen iedereen tegen was gekomen.  Daarnaast werd er nog gepolst naar mogelijke projecten die in de volgende<br />
workshop in St-Erme uitgewerkt kunnen worden.</span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-118" title="090830" src="http://www.nadine.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/0908302-300x225.jpg" alt="090830" width="300" height="225" /></strong>Push a button and define the interaction between sound, light and the dance during this dance performance.<br />
Mix(ing)redients wants to bring these elements; movement, sound and light to a similar level on stage.  Too often one of the elements disappears to the background.  The research into this interaction is what drives <em>Maria Karagianni </em>(coordinator,  interaction/interface designer), <em>Sjoerd Leijten</em> (coordinator, composer) and <em>Eleni Pierides </em>(dancer).</p>
<p>Sound came from two sources: the main soundtrack came from the speakers and included a sort of movement manual.  The other was broadcast through a FM frequency and came from Eleni who had two sound modules linked to radio channels attached to her body.  Working on solar cells they could only function when the light on stage was on.</p>
<p>The audience could chose to which of the two they wanted to listen.  If they chose Sjoerd&#8217;s main soundtrack, Eleni had to obey its instructions, if not, she could move about freely.</p>
<p>The makers conveniently spoke about &#8216;free time&#8217; and &#8216;rigid time&#8217;. But very naturally the three different elements were fighting for their right to exist.  Had every element the chance to show their complexity the way they really should?<br />
They stayed somehow close to &#8216;rigid time&#8217;, offering still a wide range of options in &#8216;free time&#8217;.</p>
<p>This was a <span><span lang="e">thorough research and experiment</span></span>.  We are curious what time and further research will bring as opportunities, to develop some ideas further and steer their fascinating <a title="Bulk log" href="http://nadine.be/bulk-logs/artist-in-residence/maria-sjoerd" target="_blank">technical processes (see bulk log)</a> in the right direction.</p>

<p>To provoke inspiring &amp; playful situations around us, we need a mixture of different skills from a variety of disciplines: artistic, technological and scientific.</p>
<p>gRig is a group of European cultural organizations that have come together for this purpose.  <a href="http://www.nadine.be" target="_blank">nadine</a> and <a href="http://fo.am" target="_blank">FoAM</a> are the Brussels partners of this group.</p>
<p>gRig is an ecological guild with a common quest; a guild for:<br />
(1) Those who generate realities: bringing that which can be actually experienced into existence;</p>
<p>(2) Those who integrate realities: combining one world (or state of affairs) with another so that they may become whole. After an unknown time of underground activity, the guild has decided to become more public and formally support its members. gRig found this necessary as the present consensus reality is becoming thinner and grayer, with a pressing need for reality generation and integration in all spheres of human activity, while imagination still exists.</p>
<p>There is a new website online where you can read all about the different activities such as research, workshops, symposia, meetings and gatherings, public presentations, artistic installations and performances, ….</p>
