xindanwei chitchat edition 22: Collabor8 Project

Time: 17:30-19:30 Friday, September, 17th
Cost:free
Host: Ian McArthur

Globalized economic and urban territories linked by network technologies and reconfigured geopolitical relationships are creating a context where art and design educationalists are impelled to develop innovative pedagogies relevant to the needs of students, the world community, and as yet unforeseen industries.

Ian initiated The Collabor8 Project (C8) in 2003 as a platform challenging design students in Australia and China to collaborate online. C8 has since evolved from a visual communications focus to include multidisciplinary practices. Its goal is establishing ways of teaching that facilitate common understandings between students from east and west as a basis for co-creation.

In 2009 Ian worked with Professor Richard Goodwin to develop the PorosityC8 e-SCAPE Studio which challenged sixty art, design, and architecture students, practitioners and academics from The College of Fine Arts (COFA) and Donghua University (DHU) to interact online in a process culminating in an intensive two-week studio at DHU. In this chit chat session Ian talks about the context of the C8 and will discuss some of the student collaborations from this studio.

Ian has held a range of leadership roles in higher education in Australia and South East Asia including Program Director of Graphic Design, La Salle DHU International Design College, Shanghai, China. He currently coordinates COFA Online’s Undergraduate online program and lectures in the School of Design studies at The College of Fine Art (UNSW). He holds a Master of Design (Middlesex University, UK) and two education degrees (UTS, Sydney). Between 2003 – 2006 Ian was Head of Arts & Media at Kingscliff and Murwillumbar campuses of North Coast Institute of TAFE (NCI). Ian is currently a PhD Candidate in the School of Media Arts at COFA.

xindanwei chitchat edition 21: Killer Game & digital-urban lifestyles

Time: 17:30-19:30 Friday, September, 10th
Cost:free
Host: Silvia Lindtner

In urban China today, not just our physical but also our technological infrastructures are rapidly changing. How do people experience these digital and urban transformation in their daily lives? What technologies do they use, for what purposes and where? How does technology shape the experience of the city and the ways in which people connect to each other? In this chit chat session, Silvia will present some of her past research with young professionals in Beijing and Shanghai, who have adopted a game called the Killer Game for a new digital-urban entertainment experience. Killer Game gained popularity in China around 2004-2006 as a party game. Around 2006-08 a group of young entrepreneurs set up their own Killer Game gaming clubs in Beijing, which subsequently spread into Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou and other cities in China. The clubs are often advertised as new forms of entertainment, distinct from places like the Internet cafe, and to develop a culture of cool.

In this chit chat session, Silvia will talk about what motivates these young people to go to the Killer Game clubs and we will also play the actual game!

Silvia Lindtner is a PhD candidate in the department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. Her overall research interest lies in new media studies, human-computer interaction and urban studies. She focuses in particular on the role of digital media in creative practices, for social networking and collaboration in urban China. A crucial aspect of this work is studying the creative practices of individuals and informal collectives across digital and urban spaces. She has conducted research with two different social groups, urban youth and young IT professionals, and explored the different ways in which digital media come to shape their experiences of the city, the relationships to others and their work & leisure practices. Her work is published across an array of disciplines and she has presented her research at venues such as the Chinese Internet Research Conference, conferences in Human Computer Interaction and Collaboration, and the first international conference on Digital Media and Learning.

在当今中国城市, 物理空间和技术基础设施都在迅速变化中. 人们怎么样在日常生活中体验这些数字与城市变革呢? 人们使用什么样的技术,为什么使用?在哪里使用? 这些技术怎么样影响人对城市的体验? 人们怎么样应用这些技术互相连接? 在本周的茶话会中, Silvia将陈述她在过去与中国和上海的专家一起做的研究: 杀人游戏作为一种新的数字城市娱乐项目.

杀人游戏于04年至06年间在中国迅速流行开来, 在06-08年间一群年轻企业家在北京创立了他们自己的杀人游戏俱乐部,名为Xclub, 然后迅速扩展到上海,武汉,杭州以及中国其他城市. 该俱乐部倡导一种区别于传统咖啡馆的新娱乐方式. 开创了一个超酷的文化.

在本期茶话会中, Silvia将谈论什么样的原因促使年轻人去杀人游戏俱乐部, 然后我们也会玩一把真实的杀人游戏.

xindanwei chitchat edition 19: recycle-x project

Time: 18:00-20:00pm Friday August, 27th
Cost:free
Host:Jingni Wang
In recycle-x project, five artists from Brazil, China, Spain, Netherlands and Croatia came to a old city called Dordrecht in Netherlands create art work there. What they specification is sustainable of society and soft technology, and share art with local community.

As one of the artist, what I want to share in this presentation is three project recycle-x did already:

Plantas Parlantes—-A installation that make plants “talking and screaming” to people who touch it.
Achterstraat—-We use conductive fabric and thread create a local map with local handy women. People were brought together by making map and sharing stories.
Looking for people who live in a sustainable way—- A seven days’ research to find people who live in a sustainable way in Dordrecht and make a diary and street intervention of it.

I will make the presentation focusing on the process of art project, that’s say ” what was happening”. I really want to share the process of mind work, process of technique realization and the experiences of sharing art with local people. I will take some recycled container and plant seed, we will plant it together after presentation.

Welcome media artist, art students and people who are interested in the connection of art and social sustainability.

WHO I AM?
My name is Jingni Wang, 24 years old, from Fujian.
I studied new media art in China Academy of Art since 2006. When I was in school, it was more studio work rather than “going out”. In 2008, I went to America and work as a art teacher in summer camp, it became my first time experiences of “share art with people”. And after graduating from school, I involved in establishing of a community art organization. Therefore, I got chances to “play art” with immigrants in Shanghai. In 2010, I started my residency in Dordrecht, Netherlands, collaborated with artists from different background. We lived in a community, create work with local people.
Every time, those kind of sharing art experiences is like “self-education” for me. It brings me happiness, love, knowledge, culture understanding, and even wise of life.They are like surprises out of art theory system. And that’s what I want to share with you this time.
I am young, more into composing rather than theory, so, this presentation will be more visualized, could be like a story telling.

新单位茶话会第十九期:recycle-x项目

时间: 8月27日(周五)18:00—20:00
费用: 免费
主持人:王静妮

荷兰的recycle-x项目里,五个分别来自巴西,中国,西班牙,荷兰和克罗地亚的艺术家一起来到荷兰的古城dordrecht,用半年的时间居住和工作在这里.他们特别关心的是可持续发展和柔软的科技和艺术,以及和社区居民一起创作.

作为其中之一的艺术家,这次简述主要想和大家分享的是cycle-x做过的三个小项目:

Plantas parlantes 会说话的植物
我们用电子材料和植物作为媒介来做了一个让植物说话装置,你对植物的触摸,都会引起它们的发声,围绕这个装置,我们做了一系列的对民众的工作坊.除此之外,还将带大家看一个比利时的艺术农场.

Achterstraat 后街:
我们和当地的手工者妇女们一起用导电面料和织线制作的当地地图,通过这个项目,周围的人们被自然而然地带到了一起,讲述他们的故事,一起协作和动手.

Looking for people live in sustainable way 寻找过着环保型生活的人
我们用一周的时间,在当地寻找,过着环保型生活的人,调查从生态农庄开始,经历了transition-town(过渡性村庄),无金钱的物物交换商店,Hipi嬉皮村庄,以水作为日记的艺术家,生态建筑师,以及反对有机农业的人,之类等等.在调研结束后,我们制作了一本生态人物的日记以及当地的环保”人脉图”.

我会把重点放在项目的”过程”,也就是”经历了什么?” 很想和大家分享的是在创作时候的思维发展的过程, 技术的实现过程, 以及艺术家和社区合作对作品的影响.然后我还会带一些种子和小容器,大家可以一起来播种了小葱带回家~希望一个月后,大家的家里都有没有打过农药的,没有加过化肥的小葱吃.

特别欢迎, 媒介艺术家, 艺术专业的学生, 和对生态\科技与艺术的结合感兴趣的人.

我是谁?
我叫王静妮,今年24岁,是福建人.
本科的时候,在杭州的中国美术学院学习新媒体艺术.本科时候,很多时候都是比较个人的创作,大二暑假,在美国的女子夏令营做过辅导员,那个时候是第一次走出工作室去和人们一起分享艺术.毕业以后,在上海参加了社区艺术机构禾邻社的建立,于是开始有机会和上海流动人口社区里的人们一起玩”艺术”.再之后,进入了荷兰re-x项目,和不同的艺术家,技术人员一起合作,当然还有和社区里的人们一起创作.每次这样的经历,都感觉是一次”自我的教育和成长”.这样的教育,对我而言,很像是”艺术话语体系”外的”惊喜”,是一种受益终身的人生的教育.
我还比较年轻,并且是一个做创作的人,对学术和理论不懂,所以,这个陈述会比较视觉化,会像是…..讲生活的故事吧.

xindanwei chitchat edition 18: Tri
(A NEW SPORT, ARRIVES IN CHINA)

Time: 18:30-20:30pm Friday August, 20th
Cost:free
Host:Jeremiah Schwarz – Designer and C.E.O. of The TRI Federation & MAL (TRI Goods)

For the past 4 years, a new sport has been designed and developed by the TRI Federation. Once conceptual, this soon to be registered non-profit organization, is the governing body for the game TRI. A 3 team, contact sport similar to rugby and basketball, introducing many unique features and breaking cultural and business barriers in the world of sports. The Squib Ball, an oblong shaped ball that changes direction instantly is the corner stone of the game, challenging athletes to master their handling and team work. Now, the first 5 teams in Shanghai are underway in Season II and start-ups in 5 other cities around the world.

What needs are being addressed?

TRI is a communication platform utilizing creativity and collaboration. The purpose of the sport and the design of the game is meant to introduce new concepts that athletes and fans can build and appreciate together. The universal lack of experience will set a level of equality and humility, limiting racial, national or religious domination of the sport and its unique interests. TRI is a great way to get involved in sports and join this exciting community of athletes from all over the world.

The game has no intentions of replacing any sports, it is only an alternative to the way we currently perceive sports. If the world cannot come together to build a sport, something fun, then how can we ever solve more threatening situations, today’s reality holds for the future?

What resources or “ingredients” are needed to successfully implement this initiative?

We encourge global participation and inspiration to build this sport everywhere at the same time. In order to play TRI in your part of the world the necessary ingredients include:

1.a Squib-ball
2. 3 skinny vertical goals
3. a grass field
4. lots of cones to create your donut shaped field
5. 3 ropes to divide the 3 territories
6. at least 15 players and 1 referee
7. 3 different color shirts for the teams to wear.

Incase players want to create more official looking uniforms TRI players have letters for identification instead of numbers, which should be custom made locally.
We can send online start up brochures that will instruct you on the process and past experiences for start-ups.

新单位茶话会第十八期:爆竹球-一项来到中国的新运动

时间: 8月20日(周五)18:30—20:30
费用: 免费

主持人:Jeremiah Schwarz (美国沙凡娜艺术大学工业设计学,PEGA 公司资深设计师)

TRI原是一年轻美国纽约市运动员及设计师Jeremiah Schwarz在他就读于美国沙凡娜艺术大学工业设计学的毕业论文主题。而毕业后,他透过他一生投入与美式足球(American Football),英式橄榄球(Rugby), 篮球(Basketball),足球(soccer/English football)等主流球类运动的训练与观察,以及跟校友们组织起来的几次小型TRI运动测试赛,他前后花了整整5年的时间研发出来创新球类运动。
     Schwarz 先生目前就职于华硕电脑公司属下PEGA 设计公司,为该企业唯一的一位外籍资深设计师。TRI上海球盟合作者为美籍前EF英语外教Charles Wilcott 及比利时华侨-外贸公司主管 邹宏平,法籍设计师Marc Rambaud.
该专用球及运动专利已目前正在申请国际专利,一旦注册将名列为世界运动史上第41种球类运动。

简单介绍

TRI在拉丁文里表示“三”,在我们的整个设计是围绕“三”来展开的,它是我们整个设计的核心理念——三支队伍同时竞争,比赛过程分为三场,每一场为三十分钟,运动比赛场地分为三大块,以及分为三个部门的联盟。

TRI的比赛规则具有多样性。TRI比赛由三个队伍在一个甜甜圈形状的比赛场地上进行。三组队伍同时争夺一个爆竹球—一个具有独一无二设计的球。在TRI比赛中结合了许多来自其它的比赛的元素,尤为显著的是篮球和橄榄球。运动员们可以传球、踢球、带球跑等等。整个比赛对战略和团队合作提出了很高的要求。

TRI的比赛场地城一个甜甜圈形状,由两条分界线把场地分为了3个部分,每个队伍占据场地的一部分。在三个阶段的比赛时间中,三个队伍轮流使用场地的三个部分(能否给三部分一个名字,比如比赛领地)。

整个比赛有三个球门,三条分界线把场地分成了3个部分,同时,通过两条额外的分界线,分割成了类似甜甜圈形状的场地。
TRI运动比赛旨在改变人们对运动的思考。我们希望在当今的经济形式下,通过TRI这项运动,聚集来自全球各地不同背景和文化的运动员, 促进文化交流,培养团队合作意识与能力。

TRI运动可以帮助年轻人更深刻的理解运动的涵义,同时,让年轻人们更健康,更充满活力。

TRI为年轻人提供了一个很好的平台,帮助年轻人培养的创新意识与能力(how),让他们更了解自己的所处的环境, 同时对自己所具备的能力做一个正确的评价。

更重要的是,TRI运动在由于文化与年代造成的差异间,建立了一座沟通的桥梁。对于年轻人来说,具备一定的竞争意识以及运动员精神是极为重要的。

TRI运动可以帮助年轻人提升解决新挑战、新困难的能力,让年轻人更独立的成长。
我们鼓励人们和我们一起创造一全新的运动文化,一起把TRI在向关大社会群众推广!
