[-empyre-] Process as Paradigm - welcome more invited guests

[susanne jaschko]

Hello,
today we welcome some more invited guests to our discussion that is 
slowly evolving. With Luna Maurer, Aymeric Mansoux, Casey E.B. Reas and 
Isabelle Jenniches we asked a number of artists participating in the 
exhibition Process as Paradigm to join the debate. Edo Paulus works 
together with Luna Maurer as Conditional Design. And Raquel Renno is 
currently collaborating with LABoral and the UOC - University of 
Cataluyna to set up a blog that will also feature the exhibition.

Here are some brief biographical notes of our new guests. Please excuse 
if they are not complete -- we wanted to focus on their (artistic) 
practice.
-----------------------------------------------
Luna Maurer
Trained as a graphic designer, Luna Maurer works as an independent 
designer in the field of interaction and media design in Amsterdam. Her 
interests lie in technological developments that transform our media 
into fluid digital environments, and finding design solutions for it. 
Central to the work of Luna Maurer is the theme of 'control'. This leads 
to design methods in which
designing the environments for visualisation or creation of content is 
more important than designing the end product.

Aymeric Mansoux
Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk are an artist duo whose main project 
has been Metabiosis (2006-2008), a series of projects investigating 
narration through digital processes and machine theatre. 
Anthropomorphism is used to create a tension between fantasies about 
computers and artificial life, and the fact that these are simply 
projections of our ideas and thoughts onto objects.

C.E.B. Reas focuses on defining processes and translating them into 
images. In 2001 Reas initiated Processing.org with Ben Fry. Processing 
is an open source programming language and environment for creating 
images, animation, and interaction. He is a professor in the department 
of Design Media Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Isabelle Jenniches
In her studio practice she appropriates online cameras(webcams) to

Edo Paulus
Edo Paulus is specialised in the use of generative processes for the 
creation of sound-installations, automatic music-generating software, 
live music performances and (interactive) music for imagery (website / 
computer game / film). Currently, he is  incorporating the natural 
dynamics of human behavior into processes. In 2008 Edo has joined with 
Luna Maurer, Roel Wouters and Jonathan Puckey to write the Conditional 
Design Manifesto. It promotes the idea of designing conditions rather 
than end results.
