social art project with unemployed people by ART IN PROCESS / June to December 2004
video artists
INTENTION: ... DIGITAL VIDEOART for Relaxation and Healing in public & community based places
The aspect of mediation/communication has great importance.
Regardless of whether the project is conceived to be temporary or permanent, the process of constituting the process is just as important as its visual and physical manifestation.
We believe in art's co-responsibility for developments in society and community-based importance! ART IN PROCESS
INput - OUTput for work-team and community
The single projects will be on CDs or DVDs including the films resulting from the work useable for relaxation or stress relief (for example: in hospitals), even as potential animation programs for other unemployed people.
The ground basis of this social project focuses on a work for the community and for people with disabilities in any matter. From stress to illness, from psychological problems to people that have lost their confidenceΣ (includes also the people that create these works)
Originally the idea came from the waiting rooms/lobbies in medical institutions, where TVs are displayed as a diversion.
Social impact for the work-team
Re-socialising program: back to community by facing own troubles, fears and difficulties in communication and community projects.
The team-work provides an active process of interaction between single persons, taking control of something/project, responsibility for the outcome of work and the goal of a meaningful activity and further in managing and promoting the work to get out there.
This last step can be distressing for one or another, because you promote your own work:
Process of self-identification will be gone through: the connection between emotional impetus and work brings up the difficulties of coping with own problems when an Institution/person is rejecting/turning down the product/person.)
The focal points of the work
- Expositorial project (Part I): A social topic is publicized, so that making it visible can also lead to changes.
(Organisation: Idea-Brainstorming, record keeping, visual diary,Σ)
- Participative project (Part II): This seeks to bring about changes and positive effects through collaboration and participation among the participants or / and their surroundings.
(filming-process, producing videos, working with New Medias/computer programs for filming, etc.)
- Developing project (Part III): website and bringing projects to the public, a basic team will be formed, that takes the ideas further
(managing-process, website design, cards, flyers, etc., marketing the product, making contacts with community based places)
General methods of social projects by ART IN PROCESS
The working methods are derived from art and action research, whereby the first step usually consists of a comprehensive investigation of the sociological circumstances.
Based on this analysis, the next working steps are conceived and the method is selected, which promises the best sustainability for the respective target group. There are principally no limitations to the artistic operations (interventions, photo documentations, archiving, cartography, video, multimedia, audio installations, ... etc.).
Regardless of whether the project is conceived to be temporary or permanent, the process of constituting the process is just as important as its visual and physical manifestation. In keeping with the principle of sustainability, designing and arranging social processes has priority over the production of aesthetic products. Artistic works such as installations, videos, photographs, etc. are a desired "side effect" of the projects. However, they are always rooted in a benefit immanent to the project.
Bill Viola: (b.1951) is widely recognized as one of the leading video artists on the international scene.
Bruce Nauman: explored video as a theatrical stage and a surveillance device within an installation context, influenced by the experimental work of Merce Cunningham, Meredith Monk, La Monte Young, Steve Reich, and Phillip Glass. attacksyour.net: is an artserver collective that was started in may 2001 by four people. today there's a total of nine accounts on the server or more :-). sorry, but there are too many single projects, so you better browse them for yourself, we weren't able to list them up...
Philip Glass: Glass film scores include Godfrey Reggio's trilogy Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi
Godfrey Reggio: is an inventor of a film style which creates poetic images of extraordinary emotional impact for audiences worldwide. Reggio is prominent in the film world for his QATSI trilogy, essays of visual images and sound which chronicle the destructive impact of the modern world on the environment.
Matthew Barney: He is best known as the producer and creator of the CREMASTER films, a series of five visually extravagant works created out of sequence. The films themselves are a grand mixture of history, autobiography, and mythology, an intensely private universe in which symbols and images are densely layered and interconnected.
Peter Greenaway:
≥It seems so tragic to me that so many filmmmakers are making movies up against this extraordinary revolution with one eye closed and two hands tied behind their backs.„

REPOhistory began in Manhattan in 1989 as a study group of artists, scholars, teachers, and writers focused on the relationship of history to contemporary society. It grew into a forum for developing public art projects based on history and a platform for creating them. For the past ten years REPOhistory's goal has been "To retrieve and relocate absent historical narratives at specific locations in the New York City area through counter-monuments, actions, and events".
WochenKlausur Art and Sociopolitical Intervention: The artist group WochenKlausur has been conducting social interventions since 1993. The concept of intervention, whose usage in art has undergone an inflationary trend in recent years, is often used for any form of change. In contrast, WochenKlausur, at the invitation of art institutions, develops and realizes proposals - small-scale but very concrete - for improving sociopolitical deficits.

Glossary
AC-3 : audio A compressed audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Also known as Dolby Digital audio. Supports single-channel through 5.1 surround sound configurations. The DVD Studio Pro A.Pack encoder outputs AC-3 format audio.
ADSL : (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line): One type of Digital Subscriber Line technology, a high-speed transmission method that works o ver existing, twisted-pair copper wires. In this method, download rates are faster than upload rates. Maximum speeds range from 1.544 Mbps to 8 Mbps, but can depend on your provider, line conditions and proximity to a telephone switching station. AUDIO_TS : folder One of two folders required on DVD-Video discs (the VIDEO_TS folder is the other). The AUDIO_TS folder is reserved for use on DVD-Audio titles, and is always created but left empty when building projects with DVD Studio Pro. See also VIDEO_TS folder. Broadband : Commonly used to distinguish higher capacity network con- nections, usually 300kbps and higher. Broadband connections make the transmission of data-intensive media such as video easier to accomplish. Broadcast : When data is sent simultaneously to all stations on a network. Byte : A sequence of adjacent binary digits, or bits, considered as a unit, 8 bits in length. There are 8 bits in 1 Byte. See also MB (MegaByte) or GB (GigaByte). Compression: The reduction in the size of data in order to save space or transmission time. Compression is performed by a program which uses an algorithm or formula to determine how best to abbreviate the data in a way that can be faithfully distributed. DSL : A general acronym relating to Digital Subscriber Lines. The two main types of digital subscriber lines are ADSL (Asynchronous) and SDSL (Synchronous). DSL technologies use sophisticated modulation schemes to pack data onto copper wires. DV : The abbreviation for Digital Video, specifically applied to a common video format that encodes video digitally onto mini-cassette tapes. Related formats include, miniDV, DVCpro, and DVCam. DV tapes can be connected to a computer using an IEEE-1394 connection and a playback device. Digital : Discrete information that can be broken down to zero or one bits. Digital Linear Tape : (DLT) drive The tape drive most often used to supply a project to a replication facility. A separate tape is written for each project layer during the format process. See also data description protocol (DDP); format. DVD-R : The DVD format supported by the Apple SuperDrive, using write-once discs. See also authoring media; Cutting Master Format (CMF); general media. DVD-ROM : A DVD with files in addition to those included on a standard DVD-Video disc. These files can be accessed when the title is played on a computer˜they are ignored by standard set-top DVD players. The files can be almost anything you can write to a disc such as additional graphics or software. Driver : (peripheral manager) ˆ A software component that enables the computer system to communicate with a peripheral. Most peripherals will not operate correctly ˆ if at all ˆ if the appropriate drivers are not installed on the system. Encoder : A hardware or software application used to compress audio and video signals for the purposes of editing or streaming. encoding : The process of converting video or audio to a different format. For DVD projects, this means converting the video to an MPEG-2 file, and the audio to one of several DVDcompliant formats. Fire Wire: A data transfer standard that allows external devices, such as digital video cameras, to transfer data to a computer at very high bit rates (up to 500 Mbps) [aka IEEE-1394 or i.Link] Firewall: A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All communication entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.. FPS: Frames per second. Folder : A list created on a disk to store files. Creating folders and sub-folders enables you to organize the storage of your files in a logical, hierarchical manner so that you can find and manage them more easily. GB : (GigaByte) This value is normally associated with data storage capacity. Basically, it means a thousand million or a billion Bytes. In fact, it equals 1,073,741,824 Bytes (or 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024). Hardware : Physical components of a computer system, including the computer itself and peripherals such as printers, modems, mice, etc. ISDN : (Integrated Services Digital Network): A set of standards for transmitting digital information over ordinary telephone copper phone lines and other media. With an ISDN adapter (both at your computer and at your Internet service provider), you can send and receive transmissions. The typical bandwidth on an ISDN connection is either 112kbps or 256kbps. KB : (Kilobyte) ˆ Basically, this means 1,000 bytes, but it is actually 1,024 bytes. KB/s ˆ Kilobytes per second. A means of measuring throughput. MB : (Megabyte) ˆ Basically means one million bytes, but is actually 1,024 kilobytes or 1,024 x 1,024 bytes, which equals 1,048,576 bytes. MB/s : Megabytes per second. A means of measuring throughput. Medium : Physical material, such as paper, disk or tape used to store computer data. MP3 : The popular name for the MPEG3 compression format. MP3 is the most popular form of transporting audio around the World Wide Web. MP3 files can be imported into Live Channel for streaming. MPEG : (Motion Picture Experts Group): MPEG-1 was the first offering from the MPEG committee, MPEG-1 was originally developed to allow video to be distributed on CD-ROMs. It was very popular with early hardware and software innovators who were merging the world of computers and video and is still useful to this day. MPEG-1 is supported by QuickTime and can be imported into Live Channel for streaming. MPEG-2 encoding standards used by DVDs. NTSC : Abbreviation for National Television Standards Committee. The organization that defines North American broadcast standards. The term NTSC video refers to the video standard defined by the committee, which has a specifically limited color gamut, is interlaced, and is approximately 720 x 480 pixels, 29.97 fps. Compare with PAL. Operating System : (OS) Software that controls the assignment and use of hardware resources such as memory, processor time, disk space and peripherals. An operating system is the basis on which software (applications) run. Windows 98, Windows NT, Mac OS and UNIX are among the most common. PAL : Acronym for Phase Alternating Line. A 25 fps (720 x 576 pixels) interlaced video format used by many European countries. Compare with NTSC. QuickTime Movie: QuickTime uses the metaphor of a movie to describe time- based data. Any time-based data can be organized as a movie (audio, video or both) and can be played using a QuickTime player or QuickTime plug-in. A movie file typically contains a movie structure and its media bundled together so you can download or transport everything together Movies can also contain references to media not stored locally, for example a URL You can combine these together, having some data references to local media and other references to media stored elsewhere. Quicktime movies can be encode d using a variety of codecs. They can be played locally or streamed over a network.. QuickTime Player: An application for playing QuickTime movies and QuickTi m e Streaming Media. Works with the QuickTime plug-in which allows viewers to watch QuickTime media inside a web page. region codes : DVDs can be set to play only in certain parts of the world by selecting the supported regions when you author your title. The DVD specification divides the world into six regions plus an additional region for use by airlines and cruise ships. Resolution: Refers to the number of pixels required to represent an image digital- ly. The term is most often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped graphic images. For example, a 640-by-480 pixel image is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels. Live Channel supports resolutions up to 320-by-240. Software : In a nutshell, software is a set of instructions for the computer. A set of instructions to perform a particular task is called a program. There are two main types of software: system software (operating system such as Mac OS or Windows) which controls the operation of the computer and application software (programs such as Word or Excel) which enable users to perform tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet creation, graphics, etc. Storage : In computers, any equipment in which information may be kept. PCs generally use disk units and other external storage media (diskettes, CD-ROMs, Magnetic disks, etc.) for permanent storage of information. USB : (Universal Serial Bus): An external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps (12 million bits per second). A single USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, such as mice, keyboards, and webcams. Utility :Software designed to perform maintenance tasks on the system or its components. Examples include backup programs, programs to retrieve files and data on disk, programs for preparing (or formatting) a disk or and resource editors. VIDEO_TS folder : One of two folders required on DVD-Video discs (the AUDIO_TS folder is the other). DVD Studio Pro creates the VIDEO_TS folder when you build your project. It contains all of the video, audio, subtitle, menu, and navigation files that make up your DVDVideo title. 4:3 : The most common video aspect ratio, used for NTSC and PAL video standards. Also known as the 1.33 aspect ratio. See also aspect ratio. 16:9 : The widescreen aspect ratio supported by the DVD-Video specification. Also known as the 1.78 aspect ratio. See also anamorphic; aspect ratio.
