Pendant la Digital Week à Nantes
In collaboration with L’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Nantes Métropole and the support of Dicream – CNC.
Theme : The online creation and networked urban audio practices.
For this second edition of Nantes Electronic Art Rencontre we hope to develop an approach on the question of Multicasting and networked urban audio practices.
Multicast is a method of distributing “streaming” in real time on the Internet, that uses the possibilities of IPv6 and “peer to peer” networks. This might sound like technical jargon but it is also, in our view, a way to design digital networked art, an idea of the multi-distribution of audio and video data and in the case of artists an approached as a means of conceiving creation. This is also a line of research for creating when put in parallel with other kinds of axes: Networked orchestras, cyberperformance, mobile and geolocated intervention systems, connected urban performance ….
In fact the proposed theme opens up a vast field and sharp curatorial on electronic and digital art research: research axes fall within the current issues of questioning of network capabilities and digital tools that have democratized the last decade.
Mots clefs :Manifesto, electronic art, Fluxus, digital art, man-machine interfaces, interaction, free software and creation, immersive experience, science, emerging technologies, network, internet, streaming, Hacking.
Details of programmation :
Wednesday 21 September
Free – from 10:00 to 17:00 (coffee, tea & biscuits offered)
Château des Ducs de Bretagne
Seminar, conference et exchange on networked art and new online diffusion technology.
The purpose that we hope to develop is in the physical relationship and our relationship to the virtual: a new era of artistic creation has emerged over several decades, what are the issues? what are the tools, for both understanding theory and practices ? Research areas are at once on corporeality: presence, space, distance, loudness, projecting, performance …, the social space: chat, meetings, discussions, public space … the network: cyberperformance, streaming, broadcasting , sharing data, remote control … but also in the deletion of certain frontiers especially between public and artist : participation, workshops, exchanges, demonstrations and interaction.
With : Shelly Knotts, Thierry Besche, Julien Rabin, Marinos Koutsomichalis, Tim Shaw, Jenny Pickett, Julien Ottavi, Matthieu Chamagne, Mathieu Marciani, Don Foresta

Concert Online Orchestras
The network orchestra is one of the possibilities offered by the Internet, many musicians are beginning to understand the value of getting involved in such projects, the distribution of sound and data via the network allows the construction of new instruments that exceed the physical condition of the musician with an audience but to create new type of musical notation based on listening to the sound, beyond the performative and excellence whilst updating a direct relationship with these musicians : an opportunity to discuss (chat) with them live, listen in dedicated spaces or at home (domestic)

What is NEAR?
The Nantes Electronic Art Rencontre [NEAR] is a new kind of electronic artistic research, and public presentation of open workshops. For several days a group of artists, theorists, scientists and geeks are invited to exchange together on exploring more intermediate spaces between digital and electronic creation as well as network problematics, creative inventions of new immersive and interconnected techilogical devices.
