FILM SCREENING: Toy Story 2
John Lasseter/Pixar - 1999 USA 92 mins (Cert U)
10.15 -11.45 Showroom
The antedote to the festival! Take a morning off and take in Toy Story 2. Visually stunning and witty as the first, it's funnier, more thoughtful and 'a must see'. As Andy heads off to Cowboy Camp, leaving his toys to their own devices, things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin kidnaps Woody. At Al's apartment, Woody discovers that he is a highly valued collectible from a 1950's TV show called "Woody's Roundup," and he meets the other prized toys from that show - Jessie the cowgirl, Bullseye the horse and Stinky Pete the Prospector. Back at the scene of the crime, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys from Andy's room - Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex the Dinosaur and Hamm the Piggy Bank - spring into action to rescue their pal from winding up as a museum piece.

PRESENTATION: Digital Space
2.00 - 3.30 / Showroom / Cinema 3
Terre Thaemlitz, Kim Cascone, Julian Baker
4.15 - 6.00 / Showroom / Cinema 3
Tom Flemming, Adrian Ward, James Norwood (GM.Star), Mike Philips (GM.Star).

Digital Space sessions will be chaired by Tony Myatt from the University of York's Electronics and Music course.

The Digital Space presentation is split into two sessions, as above. Attendees can go to the whole afternoon or book each session individually, although we recommend you attend both to see the breadth of work involved in Digital Space (see also p10-15). There will be a half-hour break between sessions.

The Digital Space Programme is an ongoing project aims to respond to the explorations of artists in the field of digital sound whilst also inspiring others to move into new territory. The first phase of the project culminates in the publication of a double CD+CD ROM package which contains new work by artists from around the world, some of whom present their work in this discussion.

The individual commissions within Digital Space are held together by the tension of diversity, leaving the question of coherence and commonality open for the listener. The interactive CD ROM represents an opposite movement towards sound from visual art, computer programming and game design. Here the artists are working in an area where the sound is suspended, awaiting the input and response of the audience. Graphical interfaces provide a means through which to play the sound and present possibilities for controlling and creating sound and music in new ways.

Live Performance
Kim Cascone
8.15pm Showroom / Cinema 3
Kim Cascone has been working on a triptych of computer music for the past 3 years. The first two releases, "blueCube( )" and "cathodeFlower" were investigations into some compositional techniques he was developing at the time. His final installation of the triptych is titled "residualism" and takes these techniques in a somewhat different direction. Instead of embracing long flowing works, residualism contains smaller atomic pieces, which can be combined and layered in any way for future projects. The inspiration for this came while he was on holiday in Los Angeles. Walking into a clothing boutique where the owner had a popular sampling CD playing on the music system. Instead of hearing a composite, layered mix of these samples as typically used in techno compositions, everyone in the shop was enjoying a more "atomic" form of music. Instead of the parts making up the whole, the whole was the individual parts. "residualism" is an attempt to utilise this format to explore small units of sound information.

"residualism" was developed for the Lovebytes Festival and is tentatively planned for CD release on Mille Plateaux/Ritornell later this year. "blueCube( )" was released on Rastermusic in 1998 and "cathodeFlower" was released on Mille Plateaux/Ritornell in 1999

He has released eight solo albums, five singles, two collaborative albums (including with Bill Laswell), and several remixes. His primary interest is in the appropriation and recontextualization of cultural signifiers through the very different methodologies of Transgenderism and Electro-acoustique music production, and the manner in which these processes are mediated by consumer marketplaces. He currently resides in Oakland, CA.
