Géoweb - Une exploration du web géographique
www.AgenceTOPO.qc.ca/geoweb
Le mercredi 26 mai 2010, à la Société des arts technologiques, l'Agence TOPO lance quatre projets d'art web qui explorent la thématique du web géographique. La popularité d'outils de cartographie et de visualisation terrestre se fait grandement sentir dans l'expérience du web. L'emploi de systèmes de géolocalisation se généralise et infiltre l'univers numérique. À l'aide de ces technologies, des artistes explorent la volonté de « situer ». Les ¦uvres qui en résultent questionnent cette nouvelle conscience géographique issue des pratiques en réseau.
Réunis par la commissaire Sylvie Parent, les artistes Matthew Biederman (Montréal), Grégory Chatonsky (Montréal), Zahra Poonawala (Strasbourg, France) et Cheryl Sourkes (Toronto) ont bénéficié de résidences et de soutien à la production de l'Agence TOPO pour la réalisation de leurs projets. Avec Spectrum Survey, Biederman prend la mesure des ondes électromagnétiques qui nous entourent. Dans Circulation, Chatonsky fait du trafic urbain le moteur d'un dialogue entre un homme et une femme. Poonawala nous fait découvrir le monde par la voix des haut-parleurs, dans Public Address System, et Sourkes propose GeoTag, une version web du jeu Géographie.
Ont travaillé à ce projet, en 2009 et 2010, les réalisateurs multimédias Vincent Archambault et Guy Asselin, ainsi que les stagiaires Keshia Nau-Dominique et Alex St-Gelais. Un texte de la commissaire accompagne le projet en ligne.
Aether9 - Performance télématique
www.aether9.org
Aussi au programme de la soirée figure une performance télématique avec des artistes du Québec, de Suisse, de la Colombie, de Belgique, de l'Australie et de la Finlande. Le collectif Aether9 rassemble des participants nomades et délocalisés qui utilisent l'internet comme lieu de rencontre. Aether9 est une plate-forme ouverte qui explore les possibilités de mise en scène audio/vidéo sur le web ainsi que la notion de communauté en ligne et les relations qu'entretiennent les individus qui en font partie. L'équipe de Montréal comprend Audrey Samson, accueillie ce printemps en résidence à l'Agence TOPO dans le cadre du programme Sortir de l'écran, accompagnée de Jordan Arseneault et Christiaan Cruz.

My first time on TETU.COM
I know the photo looks like we're some kind of queer debate club, but I have to admit I'm tinkled to be on tetu for the first time. Clothed, but definitely there.

Stalle : Soirée Perfo-Queer is a round-up of some of the new, the personal, the social, the achingly dream-like, and the fun aspects of what queer performance can be. From classic video interaction, to self-satire, movement, and sound art, these queers will shave the hairy backside of what you expect from performance art and show us the wet, palpable, dark third eye of radical queer representation.
Stalle : la Soirée Perfo-queer est une présentation de certains poulains de l’écurie de la nouvelle performance queer. Le personnel, le social, l’onirique, et le marrant se réussissent sur scène nous montrant des créations d’interaction vidéo, de satire, de mouvement et de l’intervention sonore. Venez regarder par son troisième oeil humide le coeur palpitant de la représentation radicale queer d’aujourd’hui.

First Real Live Radio Hosting: Mon Dec 28th
Hi thanks to Courtney and Dave and the absence of the real Dykes on Mics I had the opportunity to hots my first live radio broadcast on CKUT. Our songlist is below. We did a queer year in review with a couple of highlights from each of us and a couple of shout-outs to Pervescité, Radical Queer Semain, Axon D'Luxe and Rae Spoon. Check out the drop-down list under Dykes on Mykes for Monday, Dec. 28th-- it starts about 6 minutes in.
As I recall, we started the year on a wave of optimism from the defeat of the Bush régime south of the border and the beginning of what I like to call the Obamarama, right? He was going to stop all the wars, signal the beginning of the end of endemic racism, democratize healthcare and defend human rights for women and gays. He didn’t get it all done, but I do have to hand it to him, on a theme that has recurred several times in the media this year, Mr. Obama delivered a coup against HIV discrimination when in October he repealed the 22 year-old U.S. travel entry ban for HIV positive people. It was one of those funny executive order things where the U.S. president just signs and it’s gone. As of January 2010, for the first time since the AIDS crisis, it is no longer illegal for foreign HIV positive people to step foot on American soil. Countries that still have the ban in effect include long-time human rights favorites China and Saudi Arabia.
Oh yeah and they passed that health insurance bill in Congress on Christmas Eve, but that’s for a whole other show!
There was a new kid on the block in the queer calendar this year, one that gave me a new chosen family and somewhere to be on Sunday nights for 3 months, and that was Radical Queer Semaine! A week of actions, workshops, demos, performances and music that made a little beating heart of anti-capitalist underground queerness beat a little faster last year. Everyone’s major highlights were the openning address by Michael Hendricks on his ACT-UP Montreal years and lifetime of activism, an impromptu workshop by BDSM sexpert Anrea Zanin, a marathon performance art night, a legendary party that transformed the social economy loft building we had rented for the week, and a wonderful Folk as Queers night that brought Rae Spoon and Sarah Mangle to us and showed us the best of St-Henri improv with the Inapprpriate Hymns and Hers.
Our friends from the newly formed group PolitiQ have made it their mission to keep RQS alive again this year. If you’re interested in getting involved this year, leaving your mark or having a mark left on you, contact them at radical.queer.semaine@gmail.com and on Facebook through the PolitiQ group page.

interesting
A very powerful statement of the level of anti-government and anti-fascist activism in Greece. What is the midpoint, one wonders, between the complacent/complicit bourgeois obedience to S. Harper's régime of ignorance and backward-thinking conservatism which we live with in Canada, and these anarchist acts of violence?
Is it time for mass civil disobedience? Must investigate history of CD in Canada and get back to you.

Where are the new "walkers"?
There should be "walkers" to take people to get boring administrative things done: smiling discreet gay boys with bus tickets, magazines, and bureaucratic savoir-faire. N'est-ce pas? I will be their Jordanager
