digital networks as medium for embodied knowledge dance-tech project explores the potential of the new Internet technologies for knowledge production and distribution on body based artistic practices and it's intersections with other disciplines such as new media, architecture, philosophy, anthropology and more. All dance-tech projects attempt to place situated embodiment as a fundamental condition and movement arts as relevant practices to contemporaneity with interdisciplinary framework. dance-tech is conceived as a tactical media project and it aims to develop and maintain a series of online and hybrid collaborative platforms for the interdisciplinary explorers of the performance of movement, innovators and emergent performance practices. It develops as an experimental, adaptable and changing pedagogical intervention on the knowledge distribution systems of contemporary performance and their contexts. It seeks to systematically and flexibly, explore the changing new media landscape and its openness for creative and social innovation.
Joe Biden: There's No Reason To Treat Intellectual Property Any Different Than Tangible Property Ah, Joe Biden. Is there nothing about intellectual property that he can't get wrong? Variety has an interview with the Vice President on intellectual property issues, and while there's nothing new, it's like a compendium of wrong or misleading statements. It's no wonder the entertainment industry so loves him. There's no lie or misrepresentation he won't repeat. "Look, piracy is outright theft," Biden said. First, "piracy" is not "outright theft." He is quick to say that he considers it more than a problem of just the entertainment industry. Biden may be even worse than John Morton at this conflation game. "Virtually every American company that manufactures something is getting killed by counterfeiters: clothing, software, jewelry, tires," Biden said. Getting killed? Besides, if we're really saying that copying ideas and passing them off as your own is "theft" and should be punished the same as "theft" of tangible goods, shouldn't Joe Biden be in jail? Oh come on!
Jimmy Wales MotionBank and Other Choreographic Media Tools Workshop@ HZT Berlin In this workshop several choreographic media tools will be introduced and worked with. Among those are digital publications of recent years: Steve Paxton: Material for the Spine (DVD-rom, 2008)Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker/ Rosas: A Choreographer's Score (4 DVDs, 2012)William Forsythe: Synchronous Objects (web-based, 2009)Motion Bank -scores by Deborah Hay,Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion The Siobhan Davies Archive project (web-based, 2007)meta-academy@bates 2013 on the work of Nancy Stark Smith The contents of these digital dance and choreography tools all have their origin in the choreographic and dance practice.How can these ideas/ contents be transferred back into the studio and how can individual questions and interests be formulated towards these propositions? After short introductions during the first days, the focus will be on a practice lead exploration of these tools. See this visualisation the evolution of the content and resources:
Ten songs stolen by politicians 24 September 2010Last updated at 13:28 By Cat Koo BBC News Swedish band Abba is suing a Danish anti-immigration party for using their song, Mama Mia in a rally. The youth wing of the party sang the song, changing its lyrics to suit their far-right agenda. But the Swedish legends are by no means the only musicians to object to politicians using their work. Earlier this year, the British Conservative Party used the rock group's 2004 hit in their election campaign. Singer Tim Booth complained about the use of the band's song at a Labour Party Conference in 2008. French President Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party used the smash single by indie band MGMT at its national congress, and in two online videos, in 2009. The incident happened a week before the French parliament considered a law put forward by Mr Sarkozy's party to crack down on online piracy. • Jackson Browne sued Mr McCain for the use of Running on Empty.

After the 1997 publication of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Raymond was for a number of years frequently quoted as an unofficial spokesman for the open source movement.[2] He is also known for his work on the popular Roguelike game Nethack for which he wrote the Guidebook, in addition to being a member of the "Dev-Team". More recently, he is recognized in certain circles for his 1990 edit and later updates of the Jargon File, currently in print as the The New Hacker's Dictionary.[3] Biography[edit] Born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA 1957, Raymond lived in Venezuela as a child. His family moved to Pennsylvania, USA in 1971.[4] Raymond said in an interview that his cerebral palsy motivated him to go into computing.[5] Raymond has spoken in more than fifteen countries on six continents[citation needed], including a lecture at Microsoft.[6]

Algorithm Flow chart of an algorithm (Euclid's algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≥ A yields "yes" (or true) (more accurately the numberb in location B is greater than or equal to the numbera in location A) THEN, the algorithm specifies B ← B − A (meaning the number b − a replaces the old b). Similarly, IF A > B, THEN A ← A − B. The process terminates when (the contents of) B is 0, yielding the g.c.d. in A. (Algorithm derived from Scott 2009:13; symbols and drawing style from Tausworthe 1977). In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( i/ˈælɡərɪðəm/ AL-gə-ri-dhəm) is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. Informal definition[edit] While there is no generally accepted formal definition of "algorithm," an informal definition could be "a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations Formalization[edit]
