EDITORIAL
Wim van der Plas
As we reported earlier, ISEA-NL was formally founded as the first of the
national branches that the Inter-Society intends to get started. During
the first Board Meeting, Dirk Boon was appointed Director. Congratulations,
Dirk!
ISEA-NL is involved in preparations for an art show and a seminar program
during Imagination 95 in the Royal Dutch Fairs in Utrecht (May 31-June 2).
Together with V2 (see below) ISEA-NL is also making plans for the second
edition of DEAF, the Dutch Electronic Art Festival, in November, 1995. Other
plans include one related to the Web (thus less national) and a spectacular
project to be part of ISEA96 (in Rotterdam). We will keep you informed.
This year, ISEA-NL is the Dutch representative for Siggraph, the large
annual conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques in the US.
This newsletter includes a report written by the French representative,
Thierry Frey, as well as a proposal from Alan Chesnais. Both were meant
for the Siggraph community, but were deemed interesting enough to our
readers for inclusion in this newsletter.
Our newsletter reaches more and more readers via E-mail and the World
Wide Web. Still half(!) of our readers are not yet on the net. In
many countries, such as Greece and Indonesia, it is still difficult or
impossible to get a connection except for a small elite group. In other
countries it is not easy for independent artists. Once more we would like to
repeat what is written in every issue of this newsletter: if you are not
connected to E-mail, but you want to get in touch with a person or
institute that is on E-mail (and one that gave no ordinary address or
tel/fax info), contact us (phone/fax: 31-10-4778605).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISEA95
Montreal is buzzing with activity related to ISEA95. They have received some
600 proposals for the non-academic component (exhibition, performances, etc.)
alone! We hope they will send us an update of their plans for the next issue
of the newsletter. In the meantime, we can tell you that for the academic
part of ISEA95 they are looking for alternatives to the rather boring way
that sometimes is presented: a person reads aloud a paper that attendess
might just as well have been reading at home from the proceedings.
Cynthia Rubin reports that Henry See will soon have our public listserver up
and running, so that questions such as these can be discussed by everyone.
But in the meantime feel free to pass around to other people the idea that we
are not merely presenting boring papers. This is the official line: "The
commmitee is considering alternative formats of presentations, including the
pre-conference publication of papers, followed by brief (10-15 minute)
on-site formal presentations and extended open dialogue. Individuals and
groups submitting papers and round-table presentations should follow the
published guidelines. Should the proposal be accepted, the conference
committee will discuss preferred forms of presentation."

NEWS FROM FRANCE
Thierry Frey
For those of you who didn't know, the Imagina conference was held on the
1-2-3 February in Monte-Carlo. Imagina is somewhat a down-scaled version of
Siggraph : there are conferences, workshops, panels, an exhibition and the
'Prix Pixel-INA'. The public can vote on the first two nights for CG
animations classified in various categories : fiction, ride,
simulation/visualisation, art, video clip, special effects, advertising,
schools & universities, TV credits, research, 2D animation, 3D animation. For
more infomation on Imagina, try the Web server of the Institut National de
l'Audiovisuel :
http://www.ina.fr/INA/Imagina/imagina.fr.html
The french chapter of ACM Siggraph held a booth at the expo. We had many
visitors from all over Europe asking questions about LA95. Alain Chesnais,
who is president of ACM siggraph Paris as well as render/IPR project manager
at the Paris' office of Wavefront. Following is the proposal he submitted to
the Interactive Communities Jury.
He will eventually put up this proposal on is home page at the Wavefront Web
server : http://wavefront.wti.com/pub/alain/alain.html Meanwhile, below is a
version that I'm asking you to forward to people who would be interested in
the project.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPOSAL FOR A NETWORKED NON LINEAR CHAINED ANIMATION
Alain Chesnais
Introduction
The project described herein is an extension of the chained animation concept
that was used in the "Figure to Field" project at SIGGRAPH a few years back.
There, a single editorial group assigned start and end images to
contributors, then asked them each to create an animation that would link the
start to the end image. SIGGRAPH participants viewed the resulting animation
as the linear traversal of the linked animation sequences and the final piece
was shown at the Electronic Theater.
What we are proposing here is a project to have teams of contributors create
a network of animation sequences that you could traverse in a non linear
manner. We propose to have a distributed group of editors cooperating towards
the creation of a global project involving participants from all over the
world. The project aims to continue after the conference and take advantage
of a cooperative effort with other sister organisations, such as Imagina, to
grow and expand.
Description
The type of project that I am proposing is something that would take full
advantage of available internetworking capabilities, allow several groups
(SIGGRAPH and Imagina for starters) to cooperate in a distributed manner with
local control, and be accessible to as many participants as possible. I want
the project to have a life of it's own and go on outside of the official
conferences. I also wish for the project to offer an experience that would
evolve over time and that participants would want to come back to, again and
again, in order to discover new experiences.
What I have come up with is a proposal for a non-linear multiply ramified
chained animation where the various groups involved would propose a series of
images. These images would be the bases for creating animated sequences to
take you from one image to another. Imagine, for instance, SIGGRAPH proposing
the SIGGRAPH logo, Eurographics proposing its logo and Imagina its logo (hey,
this is just for illustration purposes! I do hope to get more interesting
images for the final project...). Each group would then entertain proposals
using its own editorial policy (commission an artist, call for participation,
etc...) to create animated sequences from the images it proposes and leading
to images anywhere else in the project. So, for instance, Imagina might
retain a morph of the Imagina logo into the Eurographics logo as a result of
a juried selection of pieces submitted as the result of a call for
participation. There can be more than one animated path from one image to
another. This is an "editorial" choice.
As more and more paths are created linking the images together, we get a more
densely ramified network of animations that users can travel along. The act
of travelling along these paths and exploring the links creates an implicit
animated sequence that the user can play back after exploration.
Distributed Control and Editorial Policy
One of the important points in this project is the notion of distributed
editorial control. I would like to take advantage of having a network based
cooperative venture between the groups taking part in the project to attempt
to set up a distributed editorial policy. What I propose is for each group
to define the editorial policy concerning the paths leaving from images that
it has proposed. Some groups may wish to include any animation proposed off
of the net. This an artistic or editorial choice. Other groups may wish to
choose artists to generate selected animated paths and commission them to do
the creation. Each separate group would have its own specific editorial
policy.
I've toyed with different types of control (agreement between the editor of
the source image and the editor of the destination image, control of paths
arriving at an image, agreement of ALL groups, majority consensus,...) but
none seems to offer the proper tradeoff between flexibility and editorial
control that this scheme seems to offer.

In the example above, for instance, Editor A would have the decision
as to whether to accept a proposal for an animation to link image (1)
in Editor A's space, to image (2) in Editor C's space.
Implementation
I want this to be accessible to a majority of users on the net and propose to
base it on the Web. Any Web viewer could be used to explore the project. The
project would propose an index of all the groups participating and each group
would propose an index of its images as well as a Web page per image. Each
image page would have a link to all of the animations stemming from it.
I would also set up a specific interface that would give users a 3D
representation of the existing images and links. This would assume that all
participants adhere to specific guidelines so that we can readily extract the
necessary information by following the links from the Web pages. I would like
to offer users access to machines with this interface during participating
conferences in order to allow them to discover a global view of the image
network. I will write this before SIGGRAPH for SGI's and would seekvolunteers
to do the same for other platforms.
The idea with this is to view a global set of images and materialise the
links between them. Users could then point and click to navigate easily
between the image links as well as get a feeling for what the overall
structure is.
Extensibility
The project is inherently extensible. New links can be added by the editors
at any time. New images can also be added. These could be programmed ahead of
time by the groups participating in the project to coincide, for instance,
with the dates of an event sponsored by one of them. We could imagine every
group in the project heralding the event of Imagina'96 with the adjunct of
new images and links into the network. We could also open the project up to
new groups and add them in dynamically. Initially, when a new group would
join there would be few links to the images they propose, but these would
grow as new links are added in.
By offering a generalised Web interface the project has the potential to
attract many new contributors and new editors as time goes by.
Material Requirements
The requirements for the project consist of disk space on siggraph.org to
house the ongoing project. One or more SGI's with network access during the
conference to be able to browse the project using the 3D representation for
SGI's.
Other editors would provide their own disk space.

WIRETAP 1.2
Starting from january 1995, the V2_Organisation will present a monthly
program every *last* Sunday of the month, named WIRETAP. this series of
programs will have an informal cafe-like character and will pay attention to
developments in non-linear media, such as InterNet (World Wide Web), CD-ROM,
CD-I and virtual reality. Special attention will be given to the connections
between these media. Free access to InterNet has been created for the public
so that image and sound archives of art and science institutions and
individual artists can be viewed. Magazines can be retrieved quickly this way
as well. Also, CD-ROMs can be viewed. The program is aimed at independent or
commisioned artists and developers of these media.
WIRETAP 1.2 is the second program in a series of ten. For this edition a link
has been made with a more extensive V2_Organisation program centered around
Belgian TV maker Stefaan Decostere. WIRETAP 1.2 will concentrate upon his
latest work for TV, 'Lessons in Modesty'. This hour-and-a-half production
will be shown by the BRTN on march,14 and can now be seen in a special
preview. A fitting context has been created for this video production which
concerns itself with the relationship between body and technology in the
Nineties and which scrutinizes this relationship from different viewpoints. A
number of artists and writers have been invited for WIRETAP 1.2. They will
give lectures, demonstrations and performances in which the body will
also be the centre point.
Saturday, february 25th - entrance free - time: 1230 - 1700 hrs. A free
performance by the Konic theatre from Barcelona at 1600 hrs. The public can
view CD-ROMs and can navigate the Net free of charge to visit databases of
other art institutions, musical centres and magazines like for instance
WIRED.
Sunday, february 26th
entrance fee fl 10,00
time: 1230 - 1900 hrs.
The emphasis of WIRETAP 1.2 lies on Sunday, february 26th. On this day the
following artists and writers will be present:
Karin Spaink (Nl)
She is the author of a.o. 'The Punishable Body', 'Falling Woman' and
'Autobiography of a Body' and translator of the 'Cyborg Manifesto' of
American science philosopher Donna Haraway will give an introduction
to the theme (u.u.r.);
Stefaan Decostere (B)
He will present his 1,5 hour documentary 'Lessons in Modesty', a t.v.
production on the Body in the nineties. With artists like Orlan and Stelarc
and research centres like NASA and Xerox. It all ends at Luxor in Las Vegas.
Konic theatre (E)
'Sanctus, the Profaned Body' is a performance by the Barcelona
based Konic Theatre about body, sex and representation.
Kirk Woolford (D)
Kirk Woolford from the Cologne Medienhochschule will give a lecture about two
projects centering on physical stimuli through the Net;
Erik Hobijn (Nl)
The audience has to pass a gate which ejects parfumes when passed. The gate
is called Olfactoric nervous system.
Ray Edgar (Nl)
With his `sweatstick', a midi controlled instrument which looks
like a flexible steel rod, he controls synthesisers. Bending and
moving the stick he generates sounds.
Thomas van der Putten (Nl)
'Static Mobile Mk. 1: The Sofa', a piece of virtual reality
furniture subtitled 'A Presentation of the Absent Body'
Marc Marc (Nl)
S.I.N. is a psycho-acoustic environment in which noise moves up
and down the V2 stairs (7m high stairs) over 16 loudspeakers.
Due to the exstensive program on Sunday, february 26th, proceedings will
start at exactly 1300 hrs and continue on through to about 1830 hrs.
Lessons in Modesty
STEFAAN DECOSTERE
A TV program about body and technology, shot in the Nineties in San
Francisco, at NASA at Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC) and Las Vegas.
Us, TV makers are coincidential spectators. Artists, however, can put their
own life on the line to allow us a glimpse of the technological fate of the
human body. But also those who have a PC and a modem at home will have a
chance to play a role in the technological pageant of the future. Why on
Earth do we all dream the same dreams? Atfer a moment of intense therapeutic
conditioning and a number of instructions by specialized builders of the
future at NASA and XEROX PARC we wonder how San Francisco will look after the
future is over. As if driven by the same dream we land in Las Vegas where a
decisive battle is fought between Good and Evil.
During this 'program wrong' DECOSTERE will deliver the future at your
doorstep. 'Daddy', a girl asks us, 'when will I be reborn? the girl I used to
be is dead. Long live the new. I no longer recognise myself. I used to walk
as if lost, but now I can no longer believe my eyes: daddy, I can see again.'

NEW MUSIC NOTATION STANDARD FILE FORMAT
Gregory J. Sandell
(Music-Research Digest)
An exciting new development in the area of music desktop publishing is now
coming to fruition after months of work: a standard file format ffor
musical notation.
Computer musicians have long needed a notational equivalent to standard
MIDI files, to transfer scores between various editing/publishing
programs, and from music scanning software into notation editors. Like
standard MIDI files, such a format would allow users to move existing
files between products according to their evolving needs, without
substantial loss of data.
The new format is currently code named "NIF" (Notation Interchange
Format). Sponsored by Passport Designs and Coda Music Technology, NIF has
had and continues to have major input from a large, diverse group of
notation software designers, as well as researchers in the areas of music
recognition, musicology and computer science, expert users and music
publishers. NIF's exceptionally thorough design is the product of a
lengthy consensus-building process between these participants. It is a
non-proprietary format, and will be available with no licensing fees
whatsoever to anyone who wants it.
The NIF project is now moving into the testing stage. Several companies
are scheduled to begin trial implementation shortly, to be followed by
others once the format stabilizes.

appeared in print this month. The collection is a double issue of
the journal Connection Science, volume 6, nos. 2&3, covering aspects of
musical perception, conception, and action, and the generation of visual
art. Some of the papers in this double issue are very interesting from
a computational point of view as well, beyond their specific application
domain. We hope you enjoy the issue and find it useful, and we welcome
your comments and updates about further work in this area for future
collections such as this.
(Please note: Single copies of this double issue are available, at a cost
of $93.50. A book version of this double issue is also planned for the

MUTE
Digital Art Critique, a new art & technology newspaper
Mute is a new London based newspaper (designed employing the format of a
broad sheet newspaper) produced by artists to develop a wider
understanding of the impact of recent technological advances on art and
visual representation. It brings a criticism of developments in the so
called techno-culture under the umbrella of art criticism. Mute also
exists as Metamute, a WWW site on the Internet (although we couldn't find
a W3 address in the info we received from Mute). The 'Pilot Issue' is out.

EXHIBITIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNOUNCEMENT: @ART GALLERY EXHIBITION
February 15 - March 31, 1995
@art will exhibit the "LOTproject: Artistic Field Work". LOT is an Austrian
collaborative art group founded by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. Living and
working in Vienna both artists are influenced by the dynamics of geographic
and political mobility. The LOTproject focuses on dislocation, geographic
disintegration, and vanishing territories that exist in tandem with the
phenomenon of global networking. Bitter and Weber direct and create art for
public places as a way of commenting on these cultural phenomenon and their
impact on the importance of "site".
@art gallery, a virtual internet gallery, is committed to exhibiting the best
in contemporary electronic art. Artists are showcased on a revolving basis,
with each exhibition lasting six to eight weeks. At the end of each
exhibition, the artists' work is archived and will remain retrievable. @art
gallery is housed in Gertrude, an IBM RS6000 that has been configured as a
WWW server. It's physical location is the School of Art & Design, University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,USA. The gallery is designed to be viewed on
a Macintosh, utilizing Mosaic software. Although the gallery can be viewed
with other WWW clients, and on other platforms, viewing on a Mac with Mosaic
will most closely approximate the original design.
@art was developed by ad319, an interdisciplinary collaborative group
comprised of Kathleen Chmelewski, Nan Goggin, and Joseph Squier. All three
are practicing artists, designers and faculty members at the School of Art &
Design, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. Andrea Shaker is our
graduate research assistant. ad319 was formed to address issues we face
working with new imaging and com-munication technologies.
@art gallery is based on the premise that, today, computer art doesn't
necessarily require physical form. Increasingly, digital artists are taking
advantage of the inherent characteristics of the technology. Of particular
interest to us is the ability to electronically distribute still images,
video, text, and sound. This dramatically alters our understanding of art as
object.
The gallery will evolve with time, due in part to your feedback. We
invite you to share your ideas with us. Feel free to forward this
announcement.

University of Edinburgh, Department of AI and Faculty of Music
3 - 5 September 1995
THE ICMAI
The International Congress in Music and AI will be held in Edinburgh,
Scotland, just after the Edinburgh International Festival. The conference
is organised by the Faculty of Music and the Department of AI at Edinburgh
University.
Its main objective is to foster investigation of theories of music and
musical thought, and their relation to computation and AI systems. The
link between these two approaches - which has not received great attention
until now - is the main topic to be addressed. The aim is to stimulate the
exchange of ideas on the possibilities of extending or formulating new
(computational) theories of musical knowledge and cognition that may be
used to represent and manipulate musical structures and processes. Such
theories may provide useful insights into compositional, analytic and
educational aspects of musical practice.
Researchers from any relevant discipline are invited to submit papers
relating to one of the three areas presented below. The presentations of
papers will be followed by extended discussions.
MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST: Musical Formalisms, Cognitive Models of Music,
Intelligent Musical Tools
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Stephen McAdams, Robert Rowe
PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Emilios Cambouropoulos, Antonio Camurri, Eric Clarke,
Marc Leman, Alan Marsden, Peter Nelson, Alan Smaill, Geraint Wiggins
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Papers of up to 7000 words should be sent by post (3 copies) or preferably
by e-mail (self-contained LaTex or PostScript files) to the address below
by 30th April, 1995. No abstracts will be accepted. Notifications of
acceptance and reviews will be returned by 30th June. Final versions are
expected by 30th July. All selected papers will be included in the
conference proceedings. It is expected that authors will be invited to
submit their papers for a post-conference publication.
