Beamlab is a night about the moving image; for meeting, exchanging and getting inspiration. It is held in Pakhuis de Zwijger [AMS] on wednesday nights (20:00-00:00) every two months.
The best thing about it is that it’s very inspiring, new and it’s FREE.

Participants are video-artists, vj’s, filmmakers, gamedesigners, advertising people on one side and manufacturers, developers, customers and technicians of audiovisual products on the other side.

Speakers in the past include; Bart & Edwin (developers of Resolume VJ software), Sil van der Woerd (film director), TU Delft (with a LiDAR laser), P!pslab (audiovisual theatre), Eboman (audiovisual artist), ONESIZE (motiongraphics studio Delft), Matthias Oosterik (creator of the Bijlmer Moodwall), Achtung (advertising firm), Blendid (interaction designers) and many many more.

The next event is at wednesday 2 December. Read more about it @ www.beamlab.nl

The final presentation of the ecology of light sensing and emitting creatures built in the 3-day workshop with Ruairi Glynn.

There was some interest before, so I’ll remind you all that there’s a lunch lecture on the History and Future of Digital Copyright at EWI. It will be given by Arnoud Engelfriet, a rather prominent lawyer specializing on internet law.
The entrance fee is 1 euro and includes a modest lunch. More information on http://ch.tudelft.nl/index.php?page=agenda&id=763

It’s a 2 minute walk, a great talk and a cheap lunch, too good to miss

Saturday September 26. The second, and last, day of The Hague’s Today’s Art Festival 2009. We bought tickets, made deals about meeting each other, and got our hopes up. After all, the website looked kinda fancy and tickets were not extremely cheap (okay, they weren’t extremely expensive either..) Looking back on it we might have been able to notice the festival not being so professional as it looked at first sights. The timetible published less than a week before the event and no answer to an email several weeks before the festival (wether the festival was during the day or in the evening), not even an ‘thank you, we received your message’ reply.
