"A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10,191. The Known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange."

It's time for us to fold space. Join us for this Atmosphere screening of David Lynch's troubled film adaption of Frank Herbert's novel, as New Media Scotland prepares to travel to any part of the universe without moving.

Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you — hidden away in the lab are a people known as the Augmentologists, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah. "And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!"

Syndicate 10: SUBSONG

Technology isn’t just changing the way cultural objects and interventions are produced and disseminated, and it isn’t just creating new media forms for writers, musicians, artists and researchers to colonise.

It's also creating a context in which many techniques characteristic of experimental poetic practice have become commonplace. Join us for innovative poetics, interactive performances, lively debate and, of course, sparkling wine.

Christos Michalakos a composer and performer who works with combinations of bespoke software, acoustic percussion and live electronics. His practice explores new strategies for electronic performance by investigating modes of interaction between the acoustic and electronic sound worlds.

Chris Watson is one of the world's leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena. The unearthly groaning of ice in an Icelandic glacier is a classic example of, in Watson's words, putting a microphone where you can't put your ears.

Rather than focus on technologies, tools and techniques, this symposium will concentrate on sound in terms of duration. From a microsecond in a digital system right through to the sonic concepts that sustain a multi-edition TV series to the lifespan of your mobile phone and the impact of appification on the craft and its reception.

Bupp!! (2009) is a new work commissioned by New Media Scotland. Created by Sound Designer and Composer Jules Rawlinson around themes of emergence, repetition and difference, Bupp!! scatters cropped and chopped vocal fragments onto a grid-based playspace.

Through generative and interventionist gesture, in an act of co-creativity the listener becomes conductor, composer and performer of the piece.

Application Deadline: 5pm, Friday 7th June 2013

Initiated by Scottish Screen in 2000, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.

The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both platform and medium, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.

For Cycle 09 we will strategically support projects that can be integrated into Project Ginsberg, a new platform supporting individuals to take control of their mental health, a key part of our Life Designs programme for 2014.

www.project-ginsberg.com

Our programme supports forms of emergent practice. We seek to innovate and challenge, aesthetically, technically and conceptually. We're excited by projects that blur boundaries, respond to developments in science and technology, and forge new ways ahead for digital culture.
