While driving through the city, an animated virtual character is projected from a moving vehicle onto the cityscape exploring places "to go" and "not to go" in urban centers such as Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Mexico City. The book provides the conceptual framework for Light Attack. It follows the history of electric light as medium and symbol for cultural grandeur. It discusses media architecture and projection-based media art in relation to a contemporary site-specific public art practice. The book should be especially useful to students and professionals in the field of Media Arts, Art History, and Communications. [ project page ]› 03 Sep 2009 In the Line of Sight at Ars Electronica Festival 2009 Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica has served as an interdisciplinary platform for everyone who uses the computer as a universal medium for implementing and designing their creative projects at the interface of art, technology and society. The event calls for entries in eight categories, including a youth competition. And since internationally renowned artists from over 70 countries also participate in the Prix Ars Electronica, it has established itself as a barometer for trends in contemporary media art. With over 40.617 entries since 1987 and prize money in 2009 totalling 122,500 euros, the competition offers the largest cash purse for cyberarts worldwide. Each year, six Golden Nicas, twelve Awards of Distinction and approximately 70 Honorary Mentions as well as a grant for the category [the next idea] and the Media.Art.Research Award are presented to participants. Since media art is such a highly dynamic field, criteria for the categories have to be constantly modified and adjusted to societal and technological developments, and so updated to meet new demands.[+ http://www.aec.at/prix_history_en.php?year=2009 ] › 08 Jul 2009 The Burnham Plan Centennial - Talks with the Team Talks with the Team is a series of free informal tours of, and talks about the Burnham Pavilions featuring the staff and professionals who were involved with the project.

Framed by Lake Michigan on one side and Michigan Avenue on the other, it relates to diverse city-contexts and scales. The edges of the roof are parallel, but toward the center there is more complexity in the form.At night, UNStudio’s pavilion becomes a responsive architecture with LED lights that change color and pattern. These lights will be in constant flux as the number of visitors to the pavilion changes. Programmatically the pavilion invites people to gather, walk around and through the space—to explore and observe. It’s sculptural form and reactive lights will spark curiosity and wonder in its visitors. The Burnham Pavilions will be open and free to the public in Millennium Park from June 19 through October 31, 2009.

The contents of the day’s presentations, performances and panel discussions will be captured, analyzed and processed into a dynamic visualization that evolves from minute to minute to express “big ideas.” This innovative, real-time art installation will explore how complex systems and patterns arise out of simple interactions. The Emergence Project is an art installation that will explore how complex patterns arise out of a multiplicity of simple interactions, a phenomenon known as “emergence”. Focusing on the actual discourse emanating from the Chicago Humanities Festival’s October 11 day of programs hosted in several venues in the Hyde Park area, the contents of the presentations, performances, and panel discussions are captured, analyzed, and processed into a multidimensional image that evolves from minute to minute. The piece will use simple morphological rules to excavate emerging word clusters and expressed “big ideas,” representing them on the Hyde Park Art Center’s digital façade.[+ http://emergenceproject.org ] › 27 Jul 2008 Paper Presentation at ISEA, the International Symposium on Electronic Art 2008, Singapore Media Art and the ‘moving moving’ image as an intervention in public spaces, July 27, 2008, Singapore Management University[+ http://www.isea2008singapore.org/abstract/d-h/p298.html ] › 15 May 2008 Workshop: Listening to Images at AUDO 2008 AUDO is an unconventional public event that invites practitioners and theoreticians from a broad range of sound-related disciplines to discuss new strategies for the creation, production, distribution and cultural analysis of sound and music-based work.

This emerging art, originating from an increasingly technologically dependent society, not only challenges traditional creative media, and ways of thinking, but also posits to artists and cultural workers new questions concerning all realms of contemporary life. Under the auspices of Millennium Dialogue, the First and Second Beijing International New Media Arts Exhibition and Symposium successfully mounted two ground-breaking exhibitions and symposia in 2004 and 2005 respectively at the China Millennium Museum in Beijing. Enlisting a number of key players in the realm of media art throughout the world as partners, "Millennium Dialogue" aims at establishing a global, constructive platform for dialogue and exchange with the most current discourse in new media arts production and theorization to advance and promote digital arts and education in China.

The role of new technologies in the creative contemporary journey seems to defer more often from a merely instrumental function and instead seems to find itself more frequently in a research in which they assume various shapes and forms, becoming subject, object and the space of the process itself. An entity tightly correlated in a system of indissoluble relationships with the creative idea itself becoming a project and therefore a construction.

The venues of the event are Brunelleschi\'s Ospedale degli Innocenti and the Stazione Leopolda. The festival will once again promote a dialogue between the world of architectural production and the larger universe of communication. It will do so with a rich program of meetings, projections and exhibitions which will present the most significant contemporary researches in a way that will be interesting both for specialists and the public at large. The theme for the 8th edition of BEYOND MEDIA is "SCRIPT". How can architecture today talk about itself? Which narrative forms are linked to the idea of the project, of its external expressions, of its publicity? How does design structure its languages and how does it express the culture of our times by means of a contemporary way of writing? Which paths do emerging creatives follow in order to approach the new modes of expression which are made possible by the digital tools and by the new media? "SCRIPT" will offer an opportunity for thinking about a wide range of topics that are at the center of the design culture today.[+ http://www.beyondmedia.it ] › 04 Nov 2005 You are cordially invited to attend a public lecture by media artist Daniel Sauter: Light Attack: Media Art and the Moving-Moving Image as Intervention in Public Spaces Daniel Sauter, Assistant Professor School of Art and Design University of Illinois at Chicago Friday, November 4th @ noon Harrelson Hall, Room 107 North Carolina State University[+ http://www.ncsu.edu/chass/communication/ ] › 11 Oct 2005 Creating the conditions of people-centred sustainable urban development within an increasingly urbanized world is more and more accentuated across the globe. Cities are subject to innumerable pressures that affect their inhabitants, but can also bring about change, social progress, and cultural diversity through imaginative and creative initiatives. Cities could truly be centres for expression of cultural diversity and places of vitality where creators working in different fields of arts act as catalysts in mobilizing impetus from unique realities and experiences within urban environment. Facing the growing presence of information and communication technology within every aspect of our lives, digital technology and communication media have brought new perceptions and socio-cultural interactions in the urban environment, transforming the way in which we experience our cities. The concepts of space, time, and social relationship from every sphere of the urban life experience are put in flux via communication technologies such as internet, mobile phones, wireless network, and locative media. Therefore, at the intersections of art, design, technology, and socio-cultural conditions, young artists around the world are invited to participate in the UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005 to reflect on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets cultivating artistic innovation and new forms of expression.[+ http://www.nabi.or.kr/unesco_award ] › 21 Jul 2005 Daniel Sauter nominated for the Print magazine's New Visual Artists Competition Out of about 100 nominations from leaders in the design field, the magazine will select 20 designers to include in the March/April issue 2006.› 02 Jul 2005 The piece will be shown in the exhibition "Climax: The High Light of Ars Electronica", from July 2nd to August 24th, at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Taiwan.[+ http://climax.digiarts.org.tw/ ] › 21 May 2005 Create Fixate at HDButtercup presents: Deluxe on Saturday : May 21st, 2005 : 7pm -2am, Gallery Preview 4-7pm.[+ http://createfixate.com/deluxe05.html ] › 26 Feb 2005 Opening reception: Saturday, February 26 6 pm at the Armory Center for the Arts, 145 N.

While driving through the city, an animated virtual character is projected onto the cityscape of L.A. exploring three places "to go" and three places "not to go", according to the popular Lonely Planet travel guide. Light Attack elaborates the concept of the "moving moving" image in the stereotyped neighborhoods of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Downtown, Watts, and Compton. The virtual character, projected from a moving vehicle onto the city facades, reacts to the architectural context, and interacts with passers-by while "walking" through the city. The character's actions are condensed in a gallery installation, reflecting projection as an emergent ubiquitous medium. The piece raises questions about property and privacy. How public is public space? How projection, as a medium, changing the environment in which we live?
