the first issue of amber'07 body process arts festival realized with the participation of artists, supporters and volunteers.
thanks to...
Türkiye Eğitim Gönüllüleri Vakfı (TEGV) ve Nesin Vakfı helped us to introduce amber'07 body process arts festival to the young generation by visiting the exhibition and participating in the workshops with their students.

Workshops
body, play and memory
(workshop for childeren between 4-12)
Nancy Mauro-Flude
Akbank Sanat Dance Studio / 10-11 November 2007 / please see below
The content of this children's workshop is geared toward amplifying body presence in relation to interdisciplinary art activities. Warm-up and exercises emphasise how the eyes, ears and mind works in co-ordination with movement, sound in space and time. Then the session revolves around the children's sense perception in relation to the gestural movement and the sensory props, with a loose structure that aims to articulate body, play, memory and presence. The aim is to provide a situation where children can grow in confidence in how their sense persception instinctively relates to the combination of technology, and movement and sound without the use of pre set routines. The props I have made and work with are Human Interface Devises [HIDs], where to motion sensors are programmed to allow for gestural actions to trigger live voice and sound distortion and effects.

mo-vi lab
Johannes Birringer
Çıplak Ayaklar Dance Studio / 10-13 November 2007 / 11:00-17:00
Mo-vi Lab is a workshop that will be realized with the participation of the artists and art students from diverse disciplines like dance, music, performing arts, visual arts and programming. This workshop aims at developing and experiencing the methods of cooperating and creating in a multi disciplinary platform. It is also a research laboratory on usage of manipulated image and programming for real time performance. Birringer will share his experience and knowledge to initiate a cooperation among the participant artists which can lead to a multidisciplinary performance in long term. This workshop aims at gathering a research group for amber's first creation and production.
The workshop is free. The participants are required to apply with a letter of intention (explaining the motivation to take part in such a team) and a cv.

wiring
Hernando Barragán
Sabancı University, Tuzla / 16-18 November 2007 / 11:00-17:00
Wiring workshop is postphoned to February 2008 due to artist's visa problems.
Please keep tuned to www.a-m-b-e-r.org.
Hernando worked for Utensil, a New York based design studio, taught at Colombia’s University of Los Andes, chaired its MOX Supercomputing Center, built software tools to support computer graphic teaching and designed furniture and art work. His recently published project hipercubo/ok/ on art, science and technology in Latin America will be presented in museums in Canada, Colombia, France, Spain and Uruguay. Wiring is an open source programming environment and electronics i/o board for exploring the electronic arts, tangible media, teaching and learning computer programming and prototyping with electronics. It illustrates the concept of programming with electronics and the physical realm of hardware control which are necessary to explore physical interaction design and tangible media aspects.

Computational Visual Design Workshop
İsmail Kasarcı - Burak Arıkan
İTÜ TBT Lab. Taşkışla / 10-11 November 2007 / 11:00-17:00
"Processing" is an open source programming language and environment mainly developed for the
people who are working in art and design field. Computational design can be described as the discipline that
search the solution of the design problem using computational techniques. The result of the
computational design is the outcome of some processed input. By means of computational design new
techniques on interaction and generative design has improved. In this workshop, participants will be
introduced with "Processing" development environment, learn the structure and and basics and then
design using computational techniques.
Participation is limited to 20 people.

Network Arts Workshop
Burak Arıkan
İTÜ TBT Lab. Taşkışla / 17-18 November 2007 / 11:00-17:00
Network based arts are the artworks done on the network. Communication protocols and links are the most engaging topics in this field. To experience the artwork, a network would be required.
This workshop focuses on the design of network protocols as a creative activity. Protocols organize networked systems ranging from low-level communication infrastructures (e.g., sensor networks, file-sharing networks, internet) to high-level organizations (e.g., markets, multi-player games, social networks). Participants learn the most through creating many examples of networked systems and authoring protocols.
Participation is limited to 20 people.
