NODE.L AUDIENCES
One of the
main aims of NODE.L was to "network an open and distributed
practice" .
This was achieved by reaching several audiences.
1) Existing new Media Practitioners
2) Mainstream Art Audiences
3) Targeted Community Groups
1) Existing new media practitioners
appeared to the primary audiences that were reached through NODE.L. This
could be seen through projects held at venues such as Space Studios,
Watermans, HTTP and Event. Importantly this acted to strengthen and
consolidate a potentially disparate community of practitioners. It
directly assisted in increasing the momentum of new media practice in
London and its identification as a valuable practice not only to itself,
but also to mainstream art audiences. These beneficiaries should remain
a priority, however it should be recognised that reaching these
audiences does not result in achieving funding for future developments.
2) Mainstream Art Audiences appeared to be a secondary concern for NODE.L, however in the same breath they were not ostracised from the agenda. This appeared to be most successfully achieved through Educational partnerships in Higher Education and public Institutions. This could be seen through projects realised in partnership with venues such as Chelsea School of Art and Tate Britain; Ravensbourne School of Art and the Dana Centre. This demonstrates how However it was criticised ass impenetrable

3) Targeted Community
Groups were a
priority audience for some individual projects realised in partnership
with NODE.L and other organisations. These audiences were reached by a
small percentage of projects that were organised by independent curators
in partnership with Local Authorities, Voluntary Sector Organisations,
Non Govermental Organisation. This is a potential area of growth away
from reliance on art funding.
RECREATING NODE.L(inz)
As a Voluntary Organiser for
NODE.L(ondon) 2006 I will be holding a workshop focusing on tools that
will help groups in Linz to create a NODE.L(inz). To do this I will
focus on a Tool Kit. This will consist of printed handouts explaining
methods used to adopt open structures for self-organisation and
participation that were by NODE.L in 2005 / 2006. I will then assist in
the practical application of this Tool Kit by discussing the audiences
reached by NODE.L and how to reach similar ones in Linz. So please do
attend the workshop 21.09.06 atÉÉ
ANY QUESTIONS?

Unter dem Label NODE.L [Networked, Open, Distributed, Events. London] hat sich in London ein Netzwerk entwickelt, das neue – über einzelne Projekte und Institutionen hinausreichende – Möglichkeiten der Präsentation und Vermittlung von Medienkunst und -kultur erprobt.
+ Was waren die Ausgangskonzepte?
+ Welche Erfahrungen wurden gemacht?
+ Welche zukünftigen Perspektiven gibt es?
+ Und welche Anregungen kann NODE.L für Linz bieten?

Mst @ Ars Electronica 2006
Einladung
Wann: Freitag, 1. September, ab 22h
Wo:
"extreme couching", Goethestraße 30 (Lageplan)
Während der Ars Electronica Woche laden wir Interessierte, die sich während des Festivals in Linz aufhalten, bei einer erweiterten Runde des Medienstammtisches vorbeizuschauen. Am Tisch sitzen Einzelpersonen – KünstlerInnen, AktivistInnen, Kulturschaffende, u.a. – aus der Linzer Freien Szene und diversen Organisationen und Institutionen, die sich mit Fragestellungen und Themen im Zusammenhang mit "Medien" auseinandersetzen, wie z.B. Tools & Skills für freie Kunst- und Kulturschaffende, elektronische und soziale Netzwerke, Zugang zu und Umgang mit verschiedenartigen Medien ...
+ Wir möchten erzählen, was sich in Linz tut, und von ähnlichen und verwandten Erfahrungen anderswo hören, z.B. in Bezug auf:
+ Inastrukturen (z.B. öffentliche Hotspots), die sich für künstlerische und gesellschaftskritische Projekte sinnvoll nützen;
+ Arbeits- und Produktionsbedingungen, die für freie Medienkunst benötigt werden, und wie diese sichergestellt werden können;
+ Kommunikationsstrukturen und -plattformen (on- und offline), die Zusammenarbeit fördern; wie Kooperation, Kollaboration, Solidarität möglich sein können, wenn alle mit einander um knappe Ressourcen konkurrieren (müssen);
+ der Einsatz von freier Software für freie Medienarbeit, wie Tools und Software beschaffen sein müssen, damit sie gut verwendbar sind.
Wer dann keine Zeit hat, wird uns auch später bei der Unofficial Time's Up "simply a party" antreffen. (Lageplan)
*********************************************
Invitation
When: Friday, September 1, starting at 10.00
p.m.
Where: extreme couching, Goethestraße 30 (map)
The Medienstammtisch* Linz invites interested Ars Electronica Festival guests and visitors to come by during the festival. The MST includes individuals – artists, activists, cultural workers and others – from the Freie Szene (the independent art scene of Linz) and various organizations and institutions, whose special interests include tools & skills for independent artists and others working in cultural contexts, electronic and social networks, possibilities for accessing and using various types of media ...
+ We would be happy to talk about some of the things going on in Linz and hear about similar and related interests and experiences elsewhere, including:
+ infrastructures (e.g. public hotspots) that can be meaningfully used for artistic and social-critical projects;
+ working and production conditions needed for independent media art and how these can be secured;
+ various (online and offline) communication structures and platforms that can promote cooperation and collaboration; how cooperation, collaboration, solidarity are even possible when everyone is competing (has to compete) for limited resources;
+ the use of free software for independent media work; how tools and software need to be designed so that they can be used effectively.
Those who can't make it then will also find us at the Unofficial Time's Up "simply a party" on Saturday, September 2 (map)
(*A "Stammtisch" is a table at a pub or restaurant where regulars gather to discuss certain shared interests, in our case "media". Whether the discussions lead to actions or just more talk depends on the people at the table.)
