Evening: Reception and tour of the Kubrick Archive
The Stanley Kubrick Archive is held in the University Archives and Special Collections Centre at the Elephant and Castle. It is made up of an astounding range of material including papers, props and scripts, Kubrick's personal research into films made, as well as those that were conceived but never visualised. By maintaining a high degree of control in the film making process, Kubrick was able to retain material generated by his pioneering techniques, research, and production work which renders this collection one of the most complete examples of film making practice world-wide. The Archive is integral to the history of
the cinema and film, but perhaps more poignantly demonstrates articulately the process of artistic creation, through a portrait of an individual who had a rigorous attention to detail in all aspects of his work.

At the Screen on Gordon Square
Ecology, Performance and Collaboration - Embodying Intimate Transactions.
6.30 Tuesday 10th July
Intimate Transactions is a dual site, telematic installation currently been shown in the US. It allows two people located in separate spaces to interact simultaneously using only their bodies (predominantly their backs and feet), using two identical interfaces called 'Bodyshelves'. During a 30-minute, one-on-one session their physical actions allow them to individually and collaboratively explore immersive environments. Each participant's own way of interacting results in quite different, but interrelated animated and generative imagery, real time generated audio (seven channels), and three channels of haptic feedback (felt in the stomach and back). This experience allows each participant to begin to sense their place in a complex web of relations that connect them and everything else within the work.
Intimate Transactions is an investigation in creating embodied experiences that are both performative and improvisational by harnessing individual, performative languages of 'untrained' bodies as a means to engender understandings of 'ecological' relationship. It arose from a deep collaboration between media artists, performance practitioners, sound artists, hardware and software engineers, a furniture maker and a scientific ecologist. Our entire process was informed by a praxis-led approach to art making that stressed embodied connectivity and inseparability. This allowed us to understand how participants might move within the constraints of a particular interface, allowing us to shape and form the overall phrasing and sensibilities of their experiences, whilst maintaining the unique nature of their collaborative experiences. In this presentation Keith will discuss his practice-led research approach and illustrate the presentation with videos, images and sound. (www.intimatetransactions.com).
Keith Armstrong is an Australian/English interdisciplinary media artist, Australia Council New Media Arts Fellow, Queensland University of Technology Faculty of Creative Industries Research Fellow and has just finished a Visiting Professorship at Calpoly State University, California, working in collaboration with their Liberal Arts and Architecture Faculties.
His recent work Intimate Transactions, created with the Transmute Collective, received an Honorary Mention in the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica and featured in the 2005 Ars Electronica Festival in Austria. His latest interactive installation, Shifting Intimacies, was presented at the ICA London in March 2006.

Because it appeals to a wide audience, the cultural sector can supply several compelling forms of digital content suited for a diverse spectrum of uses, ranging from learning and entertainment to study of art history and cultural documentation. For this reason, the development of culture-related IT products and services has been the focus of a large number of efforts worldwide, originating both from companies and Government agencies. This is particularly true in Europe because of its immense repository of artistic treasures. One of the most effective media for visual representation of complex cultural artefacts is that of high-quality 3D graphical models.
3D models for cultural heritage applications constitute a new and exciting way for the general public to experience and appreciate culture and art. Apart from new means of presentation and access, such 3D models enable the development of novel paradigms in cultural heritage exploration and preservation. This workshop will provide an international forum for discussing recent advances in the area of 3D modeling and visualisation technologies for Cultural Heritage, aiming at bringing together international stakeholders from cultural institutions and museums, university and research organisations. We also welcome project coordinators and partners of recent and current EC co-funded project active in relevant sectors and invite them to disseminate the results achieved as well as to describe on-going research activities. The workshop is organised in conjunction with EVA London 2007 and the EC co-funded project RECOVER. This workshop is the latest in the series of exciting workshops on 3D technologies for Cultural Heritage organised for many years by EVA.
* To present high level research in the areas of 3D digitisation, modeling, visualization, etc
* To share practical experiences concerning the acquisition and use of 3D models,
* To show results of past and currently active projects which demonstrate the benefits of 3D modeling and visualization for Cultural Heritage applications,
* To attract managers and directors of cultural institutions and museums to demonstrate the potential of innovative techniques for 3D visualization in Cultural Heritage applications.

Charge: £40
This half-day workshop will explore the use of social media (blogs, wikis, digital stories etc.) to support museum communication. The workshop will address:
• The range of web-based social media available to museums.
• The issues that will arise in planning for such applications.
• How to anticipate/address such issues.
The workshop will be structured around four key topics:
• Changing communication models in the museum.
• Connecting youth audiences to museum content.
• Navigating internal resistance to implementing social media
• Strategies for engaging communities in the sharing of knowledge.
Workshop participants will work in small groups to explore each of the topics and work towards an understanding of how social media can be used effectively in museums.
Through small group activities, participants will address these questions:
• How far is the museum willing to relax its own authority in these areas of
knowledge?
• To what extent is the museum willing to promote community knowledge over its
own?
• How do social media effect museum communication?
• How will social media in museums contend with notions of authenticity and quality?
By examining these questions, the workshop aims to explore:
• The affect that accessible social media will have on the “voice and authority” of the museum.
• How social media will engender online, networked user interactions.
• Changing notions of sharing and presenting cultural identity in museums.
Major museums worldwide are starting to use social media to engage online users with new interactive experiences. While a few museums have begun to adopt social media in a significant fashion, there remains a lack of research into the design and communication processes by which museums can create and sustain user interaction with social media. This workshop will explore the use of social media in a manner which encourages user participation.
Social media enable cultural participants to both explore images of themselves and distribute those images across niche online social networks. This represents a shift in the ways in which museums:
• act as trusted cultural online networks;
• distribute community knowledge; and
• view their role as custodians of cultural content.
It is this broader distribution of community knowledge which sets social media apart from more traditional outreach models in which museums work with audiences. As the products of social media are readily available online, their existence within museum communication programs presents debate around an institution’s investment in its own continuing cultural authority.
This workshop will provide you with an opportunity to brainstorm solutions to issues surrounding the use of social media in museums.
Content Creators, Exhibition/IT managers, Website Producers, public Programmers, curators.
The workshop is open to those interested in exploring the use of social media to extend user communication with museum programs.
No prior experience or technical expertise is required.

Organiser: James Stevenson, Victoria & Albert Museum, Chair of the Association j.stevenson@vam.ac.uk
The production of digital images of cultural objects contained in museums and galleries has meant that post-production alteration of the image is both easier and a more attractive option for photographers than in tradional film. Although the opportunity to change photographic images has always been possible, now with digital image creation and Photoshop it has become democratised so that it is possible for anyone, not just skilled creative technicians.
The purpose of this EVA workshop, supported by AHFAP, the professional association for museum, gallery and photographers of cultural heritage in the UK, is designed to provide a forum to discuss the ethics of the manipulation of images in this sector. Short presentations will be followed by an open and free discussion on the issues raised. Anyone wishing to make a short illustrated presentation, of no more that ten minutes, on any aspect of this topic is asked to contact the EVA organising committee or the Chairman of the AHFAP.
The workshop is free to applicants and everyone interested in heritage photography is encouraged to come to discuss this important topic.

This workshop, led by JISC (www.jisc.ac.uk) and the Arts & Humanities e-Science Support Centre (AHeSSC – www.ahessc.ac.uk ), aims to stimulate discussion around the creative and research uses of e-Science tools and methods (so-called grid technologies, and technologies integrated with them such as data-mining, simulation and visualization) in the Arts & Humanities within the UK.
The half-day workshop will focus on how the take-up of e-Science is developing new areas of research in the Arts & Humanities community, including the performing arts and humanities research.
There will be three plenary sessions to introduce key topics and provide contextual background information to a variety of work being undertaken. A set of presentations will further offer demonstrative examples of activity by projects funded by JISC, AHRC and EPSRC under the e-Science ‘umbrella’.
The outcomes of the workshop will contribute directly to a special issue in the Digital Humanities Quarterly, and a THES themed article.

SHORT DESCRIPTIONS of PROPOSED PRESENTATIONS/DEMONSTRATORS:
Gregory Sporton (University of Birmingham)
Presentation on the issues and value of e-Science processes in the Visual Arts based on a series of workshops which both explored and broke new ground in these areas, including a demonstrator of a dancer used as an HCI device.
Sally-Jane Norman (University of Newcastle)
Use of motion capture tools in the performing arts underpins activities ranging from staged productions to screen-bound works, choreographic notation and archiving, pooling artistic skills with competence from sectors including biomechanics, sensor development, information processing and display. Today's affordances opened up by Grid developments make motion capture a valuable area for interdisciplinary investigation twenty years after the animation industry first teamed up with biomechanics experts. In this project, users of motion capture resources from different disciplines are collectively devising novel annotation and retrieval methods for grid-enabled data; we thus hope to enrich the broader scientific debate with concepts and potential services enriched by Arts & Humanities perspectives.
Anja leBlanc /Martin Turner (University of Manchester)
This paper discusses research undertaken by an interdisciplinary team of academic researchers from the fields of dance and e-Science. The ‘Stereo-bodies’ project focused on exploring the ways in which choreographic practice and in particular live dance performance could engage with a stereoscopic Access Grid environment.
Graeme Earl (University of Southampton)
Mike Pringle (Visual Arts Data Service, Kings College London)
While healthy numbers of art practitioners and researchers are exploring revolutionary ideas through the use of new, computer-based, technologies, the larger majority of artists and art researchers are often frustrated with the difficulties that such advances can bring.
Frustration can be because of the seemingly steep learning curves that can be involved; due to the perceived lack of responsiveness of machines; or simply because of limited access to the necessary tools or to the funds required to make the most of them. How can the latest generation of advanced ICT tools, for example, grid technologies, help more artists to exploit, and even enjoy, technology rather than be frustrated by it?
Michael Takeo Magruder (King’s College London)
Although Contemporary Arts practice has embraced the utilisation of computer and communication frameworks for the creation of artistic products and outputs, work in this field is often limited by the potentials of mainstream technologies. This talk considers how the utilisation of HPC (high performance computing) can facilitate the progression towards complex, real-time artworks by providing an infrastructure that vastly exceeds the current computational facilities of consumer-level systems.
Bio:
Michael Takeo Magruder is an American artist based in the UK working with New and Technological Media within Contemporary Arts practice. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1996 receiving a BA (Hons) in Biological Science. He is a long-standing member of King's Visualisation Lab in the Centre for Computing in Humanities, King's College London. Through this organisation he undertakes research, development and implementation of emerging technologies; including motion capture, immersive space and virtual environments, for use in contemporary creative and academic practice. His artworks have been showcased in over 160 exhibitions and 30 countries, including venues such as the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, EAST International 2005, Georges Pompidou Center, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau. His works are regular inclusions in international New Media festivals, such as Cybersonica, CYNETart, FILE, Filmwinter, SeNef, Siggraph, Split, VAD and WRO. His artistic practice has been funded directly by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Arts Council England, The National Endowment for the Arts, USA and numerous public galleries both within the UK and abroad. He is also recognised for his on-line arts practice and has been commissioned by leading portals for Internet Art such as Turbulence.org and Soundtoys.net.
His current interests concern the simultaneous utilisation and dissection of new technology as a means to explore the formal structures and conceptual paradigms of the digital realm. He seeks to create artworks in which there are no divisions between technologies, aesthetics, and concepts.

EVA London 2007 Conference Proceedings.
Principle Editor: Jonathan P. Bowen
Co-Editors: Suzanne Keene & Lindsay MacDonald
Thank you for offering a paper for EVA London 2007.
The Proceedings will be published as a hard copy volume that each delegate will receive as part of their conference registration. We are very pleased to say that from this year the proceedings will also be published online.
The deadline for submitting your full paper is 31 May 2007. This must be strictly observed.
The standard format file that we request you to use in preparing your paper is attached below.
Papers will be peer refereed by at least two people. You are advised to take account of the reviewers' comments which have been forwarded to you. The peer group reviewers will take account of these when they assess your paper when it is submitted. Papers may be edited for clarity and grammar. It is possible that your paper may not be suitable for publication.
Registration arrangements (including a special rate for speakers) will be online shortly.
Please note that EVA presentations have a strict time limit of 20 minutes, including any question time.
We look forward to meeting you 11th-13th July, in the London College of Communications, at EVA London 2007.
It is possible that London College of Communications accommodation may become available. If so this will be announced on the website and via the EVA mail list.
Transport to the London College of Communications is excellent, so hotels north of the river will be as convenient as those on the south bank.
An excellent streetmap service is http://www.streetmap.co.uk
Google Maps misses out occasional streets and even some rail stations.
www.london-se1.co.uk/areas/southbank.html - information about the area, but the
hotels link is not very helpful

Many hotels listed, mostly to the east, Bermondsey etc, but buses to the Elephant & Castle should be plentiful
For useful hotel reviews, go to http://www.tripadvisor.com/
Hotels quite close by are:
The Bridge Hotel, London
30 Borough Road, Waterloo, London, SE1 0AJ, England, GB
and the
Wellington
81-83 Waterloo Road, Waterloo, London , London SE1 8UD
Also the Mad Hatter, 3-7 Stamford Street | South Bank, London SE1 9NY, England
has reasonable reviews.
