Presentation and debate

Wednesday 25 August 2004

Hull School of Media Technology Map

18:00 - 20:00, Free

This months Critical Platform looks at the development of video art from its origins in performance art and in the idea of the television as object. The speakers will look at the visual language that emerged and the influence of digital media on the possibilities of the medium. Steven Ball has worked in film, video, sound and installation since the 1980s. Throughout the 1990s he lived in Melbourne, Australia where he wrote for a number of journals and worked across a range of curatorial, arts administrative and teaching positions. Returning to the UK in 2000 he started working predominantly with digital video and has produced a series of works, which, among other things, are particularly concerned with digital processes and spatial representation. He is currently Research Fellow within the AHRB British Artists' Film and Video Study Collection at Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London. Heiner Holtappels was born in Krefeld, Germany, and has been working as an artist since 1975, and teaching since 1989. He is currently the director of The Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo / Time Based Arts, and a member of the Crown Counsel for Culture. He will present developments of the language: from video art to digital art.

Peter Howell (UK) BBC Radiophonic Workshop

Lecture

Wednesday 1 September 2004

Hull School of Media Technology Map

18:00 - 20:00, Free

The dance music scene of today owes much to the electro accoustic and voltage controlled synthesis of the 1970's. Software, such as the popular Reason package, emulates the very gear that was used in that period, accurate in all details even down to the greasy jack leads on the back. It is probably difficult to imagine anyone still being alive from that era, a time without midi, without perfect tuning, when each synthesizer could only play one note at a time, but Peter Howell is such a person. A staff composer at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop for over twenty five years, and responsible for thousands of pieces of music for BBC TV and Radio, notably the second incarnation of the Doctor Who signature tune, and latterly Michael Palin's Full Circle series, he has lectured extensively on composition for film and TV and the history of the Radiophonic Workshop. How did music concrete lead to the synthesiser revolution? Did they feel like pioneers? Did the coming of computers mean the end of true creativity in sound? Using examples from all the periods of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Peter Howell will guide you through almost forty years of sound and music from those people up at Maida Vale.

Reviews, Books - Ash Wednesday by Ethan Hawke By Steve Rudd
	The definition of grace is the ability to accept change. I needed to start calculating my masculinity not by the amount of pussy I could grab, or how many girls I could bang, but by how true I could be with one girl. How infrequently I could lie. How often I could show up when I was needed. Read more...

Reviews, Theatre - Up 'n' Under at Hull Truck Theatre with Cast Interview 23/07/2004 By Andy Dykes
	John Godber's play 'Up 'n' Under' has enjoyed widespread success for twenty years. So it's obvious that the story, although I have to admit I don't really know it, does not need to be reviewed. So I realise that if this report is going to be of any worth at all, tonight I need to review the performance. Read more...
