<videovortex> VV7 yogyakarta kicks off

[David Teh]

dear all,

a big hello from jogja, where forces are gathering for the 7th VV meeting.
the place is crawling with media artists, as the CELLSBUTTON festival is
already under way - for a run-down of their workshop marathon, see the HONF
wiki: http://wiki.natural-fiber.com/48_Hour_Workshop_Ecstasy (in bahasa
indonesia)

we'll kick off the VV programme tomorrow morning with Andreas Treske's
public lecture, 'Video Spheres and Bubbles'. for latest programme info, see
event website: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/videovortex/7-yogyakarta-2
documentation of the sessions will appear in the coming days, courtesy of
the team from KUNCI Cultural Studies Center.

last nite saw the spectacular Jogja Art Fair launched with boosterish words
from global art fair maven, Lorenzo Rudolf. predictably, beaux arts media
were the centre of attention, but the fair did feature several video works
and projects-in-progress, as well as a major new multi-channel work by
pioneering Indonesian video artist, Krisna Murti. interesting background for
our discussions - the latest market boom here is making millionaires of some
pretty underwhelming painters. what will it do to video?

looking forward to a great meeting,
dt and veronika
