Thursday April 8 The 29th Annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival
Since 1981, the annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival which takes it’s name from that of the world’s first motion picture studio built by Thomas Edison in 1893, has been an international juried competition and award tour, has been fulfilling its mission to advocate, exhibit and reward cutting edge works from independent film and videomakers. The festival is known for its national public exhibition program, which features a variety of bold contemporary works drawn from the annual collection of 50 or more award winning films and videos. The program will include work by Roslindale filmmaker Katherine Ramey. More about the Black Maria can be found at http://www.blackmariafilmfestival.org/
Thursday April 15 INtransit V.6: Scientific American
INtransit is a twice yearly curated video journal of art and technoscience produced by media arts collective AstroDime Transit Authority. This edition looks at the history and representation of “American” science within and without the United States, using as a metaphorical framework, the magazine Scientific American. What is a scientific American? Artists and scientists examine this question through the lens of their disciplines. Astrodime Transit Authority will introduce the event and take audience questions.http://www.astrodime.org
Thursday April 22 Experimental Moving Images from the Art Technology New England Community
ATNE, a program of Boston Cyberarts, launched in 2009 is a quickly growing consortium of people working at the intersection of technology and the arts. Members of the free ATNE portal were informed of a call for work with a deadline of March 22 2010. Short work in any genre including narrative, non-narrative, documentary, experimental, that challenges obvious conventions of the medium makes up the program. More info and call for entries see arttechne.ning.com . More info about ATNE is at http://www.atne.org.
Thursday April 29 What If? 60×60x60
Media artist Gene Gort and composer/sound artist Ken Steen of New Media New Music New England bring us an audience participatory experiment in audio and video called What If? 60×60x60. The project uses 60 video clips and 60 sound compositions that are 60 seconds in duration each. Contributors of the clips were selected from a call to New England mediamakers. During the event, audience members select one number each from a video and audio designated list. These selections will determine the evening’s program of 60 works, resulting in a 60 minute screening. What If? 60×60x60 investigates the serendipitous relationship of sound and moving image in terms of coincidence, shifting context and potential meanings that result. More info at http://www.nmnmne.org Gene Gort, Ken Steen and Boston mediamakers will discuss the experimental project following the screening.

Digital Art: Drastically changing the art world:
A lecture and discussion by Wolf Lieser, director, Digital Art Museum [DAM]
Tuesday, May 11 at 8 pm
Art Technology New England and the Goethe-Institut Boston have partnered to present a very special lecture and discussion led by Wolf Lieser, Founding Director of Berlin’s Digital Art Museum [DAM]. Lieser founded the Digital Art Museum Project [DAM] in 1998, which in 2000 became the first online museum. He then opened [DAM] Berlin Gallery 2003 to serve as a physical compliment to the online museum.
The lecture and following discussion are co-presented by Art Technology New England (ATNE) and the Goethe-Institut Boston and will be held on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 8:00 pm at the Goethe-Institut. Lieser will give a short art-historical background of digital art in its present situation. Lieser’s view is that the computer is changing the world of contemporary art to a larger degree than any other medium has before. He believes that nearly all artists use a computer to create and/or develop their art, and that new media also provides fresh conceptual and aesthetic possibilities. He will then introduce the [DAM] project; a unique approach to education in new media with a focus on marketing and selling to a new public.
Following the approximately 30 minute lecture, George Fifield, Director of the Boston Cyberarts Festival, will lead a discussion tying back into the local scene. As Greater Boston is a center of digital art, Lieser and Fifield will discuss the impact of institutions like the New Television Workshop at WGBH and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Wolf Lieser’s new book Digital Art will be available for purchase at the event.
Wolf Lieser, originally an artist himself working with Photography, began very early to manage an artist friend. In 1998 he founded the Digital Art Museum [DAM] – Project, which became the first online museum in 2000. Lieser worked with Colville Place Gallery, London’s first gallery dedicated to Digital Art (1999-2002) before moving to Berlin to open the [DAM]Berlin gallery in 2003. [DAM] launched the d.velop digital art award [ddaa], a biannual lifetime-award for pioneers in Digital Media, in 2005. 2009 saw the publication of his book Digital Art in six languages. Lieser gives lectures internationally as part of conferences or symposia e.g. University Sorbonne, Paris; Kunsthalle Bremen; Sonic Acts, Amsterdam; University Bournemouth; Academy of Science, Berlin.
