# OnEvent
#
# [I/O] SYSTEM:
# IN:
Input systems: readings, screenings + [aesthetic/technosocial/conceptual/art-historical] skills
+ toolSets to be determined + distributed by jonCates Assistant Professor in the department of
Film, Video and New Media.
# OUT:
Output systems: 01 completed New Media work in a fully realized state as to be defined by the
terms + parameters set by the participants. standard of completion to be arbitrated by
particpants.
# REFERENCE:
Reference signals are intended to help articulate the basis + influences which impact New Media
as a [concept/construct], art as a system + OnEvent as a course.

# EVENT
OnEvent fosters code-based approaches to public programming of New Media via curating, coding + organizing collaborative [+/or] collective New Media events, actions + activities. these processes will result in the development, compiling + running of web-based [+/or] physical New Media arts events.
# I/0:
#
# INPUT:
students will be expected to use [technologies/systems] which are [demonstrated/discussed] in
class in order to realize New Media events, actions + activities.
# OUTPUT:
#
# UPDATES:
students will keep blogs, livejournals, or vlogs during the semester. students will make the
uri's of these known to the class.

# [FRAY]
[FRAY] is a framework allowing the development of plugins, patches + parallelograms. [FRAY] is conceived of as a mini series on time, screen + code based experimental media art. [FRAY] consists of coordinated events including interrelated discussions, screenings + projects during the Spring 2006 semester. throughout the semester Conversations At the Edge will host 3 evenings of [FRAY] events including a presentation by Shuddhabrata Sengupta, Dan Sandin screening + discussing his work + "Calculations" a screenings program of early animation films made with computational systems. [FRAY] will involve screenings at the Eye & Ear Clinic. [FRAY] will culminate in a small conference event as a part of the final weekend mini-festival of student work organized by the Film, Video and New Media. the conference aspect of [FRAY] engages New Media artists + theorypractitioners in dynamic panel discussions + presentations.
