V2_/DEAF03: Website & on-lineparticipation

The website is an up-to-date and ‘live’ reflection of the various 
activities that take place at the festival and also a dynamic meeting place 
for those who are unable to attend ‘DEAF03’ in the flesh but want to be 
kept informed about all sorts of projects, events and debates. On-line 
visitors can watch live streams and take part in the activities in a number 
of ways. During the festival an archive will be built of audio and video 
recordings and of editorial contributions by a large team of editors. 
According to the festival's theme, these contents will be disseminated in 
different ways via the website sections, for example the EDITORIAL and 
KNITTING DEAF sections. The ARCHIVE section at the site visualizes 20 years 
of electronic art within V2_, showing video and images of interactive 
installations since the eighties and impressions of the former DEAFs. The 
website was produced in collaboration with the artist Michiel Knaven (NL).

**********************************
Online Participation

In the LIVE area online visitors can experience the festival by viewing 
live streams, listening to radio (programmed by Worm.station) and 
participating at events in numerous ways during the festival: Visitors will 
experience the presence of physical and online visitors through visual 
representation and live interaction. They can participate in events through 
chat sessions and discussions in forums. Twelve hours a day, images and 
impressions of activities, such as the ‘Information is Alive’ symposium, 
the ‘Copy the Rights!’ seminar, the ‘Media Academy Day’ conference and the 
‘Evenings of …’ will be streamed as live recordings and ‘after show’ 
reports. When more activities take place at the same time, different 
channels will appear on the site to allow viewers to watch more than one 
stream. During the following days, reruns of the live streams will be shown 
several times. Also, pictures of the exhibition in Pakhuis Las Palmas will 
appear regurlarly at the site. The online visitor will thus get a 
comprehensive impression and overview into DEAF03's atmosphere and activities!

‘the body as a collection of data’. These discussions will be streamed via

In the exhibition in Pakhuis Las Palmas:

‘H.I.D.E’. - Automat (A). <see KNITTING DEAF section at the site>
The ‘DEAF03’ website has a physical extension in the festival in the form 
of an installation at the entrance of Las Palmas, the exhibition-space. The 
installation ‘H.I.D.E.’ is handled in part by Automat. Visitors to the 
installation are photographed and their transformed visual representations 
are then integrated into the website.

‘Pockets Full of Memories’ - George Legrady (H/CDN/USA) 
<www.pocketsfullofmemories.com>
Upon entering the exhibition visitors can scan and describe a personal 
object they carry with them. Both the object and the description are added 
to a dynamic database that is visualized as a large screen projection. The 
archive also grows via the website where on-line visitors can establish 
unexpected associations between descriptions and objects in the database.
