Poesimaskine på Roskilde BibliotekDARC/CAVI/DUL forskere har været med til at lave den interaktive litteraturinstallation “Tilfældigvis er skærmen blevet blæk”. Poesimaskinen udstilles forskellige steder bl. a. Roskilde bibliotekerne i perioden 11. april – 11. maj 2012 og Roskilde festival 2012 som en del af projektet Litteraturen finder sted. Installationens tekster bliver udgivet på http://blaek.netlitteratur.dk/
Følg projektet på www.netlitteratur.dk. Her følger en introduktion til værket.
Hvad
Installationen består af: en skærm, en computer, en bonprinter og 3 bøger. I hver af bøgerne er der indbygget sensorer, der kan registrere tryk. Ved at trykke på bøgerne, kan man skabe et digt, som automatisk printes ud på en bonprinter, og som man kan tage med sig.
Hvordan
Når installationen er i stilstand, vises et ordhav. Når man løfter en af bøgerne, kommer et hvidt tekstfelt til syne midt i ordhavet. Dernæst kommer der en tekstlinje frem. Ved at trykke på bogen kan man ændre på teksten. Der er yderligere to grader af teksten ud over den, som først optræder. Ved at fastholde trykket, vælger man den grad, man gerne vil have. Så ryger tekstlinjen ind på plads på det hvide tekstfelt og en ny fremkommer. Man fortsætter sådan, indtil digtet er færdigt. Dernæst printes det automatisk ud på en bonprinter og man kan tage det med sig.
Bemærk: Der er forskellige tekster tilknyttet hver bog. Ved at bruge forskellige bøger, kan man altså skabe forskellige tekster. Man må gerne bruge flere bøger på én gang.
Hvorfor
Formålet med værket er at vise ét af de træk, der ofte gør sig gældende i digital litteratur; nemlig at brugeren skal gøre noget med værket for at få det til at give mening. Her skal man selv være aktiv, for at der bliver skabt et digt. Det er først gennem brugerens interaktion med værket, at man egentlig kan tale om, at der er et værk.
Værkets lydbillede har – ud over at det er en del af værket – til formål både at skabe et lydligt rum for installationen, og at gøre det tydeligt, hvem der interagerer med hvilken tekst i værket, når der er flere, der leger med det samtidigt.
Projekt Litteraturen finder sted arbejder bl.a. på at finde modeller for, hvordan digital litteratur (der ikke eksisterer i fysisk form) kan formidles i det fysiske biblioteksrum. Mange af de nye litterære tendenser, der fremkommer i disse år – som f.eks. digital litteratur eller performancelitteratur – skaber nye, spændende udfordringer for bibliotekets formidling. Projekt Litteraturen finder sted søger at finde løsninger på disse udfordringer.
Projektet er 2-årigt og slutter i marts 2013.
Projektet har fået midler fra Styrelsen for Bibliotek & Medier.
Hvad skal værket efter 11. maj
Når udstillingsperioden på biblioteket slutter, skal der samles op på de erfaringer, der er høstet. De skal bruges til at finjustere værket. Værket skal i juli udstilles på Roskilde Festival 2012 i bibliotekets hal på festivalpladsen. Dernæst skal det turnere rundt på andre biblioteker i landet.

There’s a live notation panel session, with live coders and live artists, on the morning of April 19th, from 10am until 1pm at the Centre for Creative Collaboration near Kings Cross, London.
The purpose of the live notation project is to act as a confluence between the activities of computer programming and body action, as staged in live performance.

Live Notation – Extending Matters of Performance
Thursday Club Event at C4CC, Kings Cross, London
Thursday April 19th 10am-1pm
at The Centre for Creative Collaboration
16 Acton Street, London, Greater London (WC1X 9NG)
Registration (free)
Live Notation – Extending Matters of Performance is an event exploring the possibilities of relating live coding (performing with programming languages) with live art (performing with actions). In particular, we confront the possibilities opened up for digital aesthetics, computer music and live art in relation to performed physical labour and its potential temporal resonance through signs and symbols.
The event will be chaired by Geoff Cox (Digital Aesthetics Research Centre, Aarhus University & Associate Curator of Online Projects at the Arnolfini), joined by a panel of live coders and live artists including Hester Reeve (Live Artist; HRH.the) and Alex McLean (Live Coder; Slub).
This is a Goldsmiths Thursday Club event, but please note the venue is in Kings Cross, not New Cross!
All are welcome, but please register.

More information:
Live Notation: Extending Matters of Performance is an investigation drawing upon the two fields of live art and live coding. The project is an AHRC funded collaboration between Hester Reeve at C3RI, Sheffield Hallam University and Alex McLean in the Department of Computer Science, the University of Sheffield.
Rather than a technological collaboration, “Live Notation” is a philosophical engagement, which aims to support and investigate the confluences between live coding and live art, as well as allow challenges to infiltrate between the practitioners. For example, live coders may want to consider their own body presence and that of the code they produce as integral aspects of their performance’s value/meaning and live artists may want to consider potential ways of foregrounding the tracking of their actions within a performance and acoustic space making.
This event is a Goldsmiths Thursday Club event, and is linked with the SuperCollider Symposium 2012.
We invite you to the opening of Godsbanen and Aarhus Center for Visual Art
On March the 30th from 13.00. pm.–02.00 am. a wide variety of theatre, dance, video, performance, visual art, literature and music will be presented at Godsbanen. Aarhus Center for Visual Arts welcome you, in corporation with the two other newly established Centre for literature and Centre for stage arts, with a program of performances on the project floor.
The program includes the hilarious performance of Claus Ejner (DK), the poetic texts of Mads Mygind (DK) and Bjørn Rasmussen (DK) and dj’s from the record label GEIGER. You will in addition to this have the opportunity to meet the heads of the three centres. The place is Godsbanen – a brand new centre for cultural production in Aarhus – and will besides the three centres house a civic restaurant, workshops, stages for theatre and music and accommodation for artists in residence.
At Jutland Art Academy, Loud Objects (USA) is currently at residence, and will execute an electronic sound performance at the opening. Moreover, the artist group 3100 from Jutland Art Academy is working on an installation made out of used electronic devises that will be turned into an orchestra.
Another vital collaborator is Flux Factory (USA); a collective of artist, performers and curators that will throw a vibrant performance show also at the opening. The show will feature a guest appearance by performance artist Mathias Kryger (DK), and will be a blend of an opera, a ceremony and a race that will involve the audience. Flux Factorys own exhibition opens at Spanien 19C the 31st of March.
Last but not least, Danish artist Sixten Therkildsen has curated the video show “Salt & Bread“. It contains short videos of Ana Brotas (PT) Luc Gut (CH), Tova Mozard (S), Jasper Elings (NL), Morten Dysgaard (DK) and Jessica Weigmann (USA). All the videos deal with very basic issues such as moving, of belonging and not belonging and with identity and the threat against it. These videos will also be available in April during the opening hours of the Center for Visual Art.
We hope that March the 30th will be a day of celebration and professional input, and that you want to participate.
Attached is the program for all of the opening activities at Godsbanen.
Sincerely, Anja Raithel\ head of Aarhus Center for Visual Arts and the board of Aabkc.
