WORKSHOP 1

Images of Ebb workshop
w/ Adnan Hadzi (Deptford TV) + Rob Canning (GOTO10)
August 1st (Sat) @ Deskspace medialab, 1-5pm

The Images of Ebb workshop will introduce participants to Sousveillance 
and CCTV filmmaking where material and images from the Deptford.TV 
archive will be edited to submissions from Sounds of Ebb.

Footage taken from Deptford.TV was filmed during a previous TV hacking 
workshop where participants equipped with CCTV surveillance signal 
receivers were lead through the city by incoming surveillance camera 
signals. CCTV video signal receivers cached surveillance camera signals 
into public and private spaces and were made visible: surveillance 
became sousveillance.

By making images visible which normally remain hidden, we gain access to 
the “surveillance from above” enabling us to use these images to create 
personal narratives of the city. The Images of Ebb workshop will look at 
constructing a narrative to the Sounds of Ebb.

Sound of Ebb (a branch project of The End of Something) is an open 
source sound series that asks sound artists and artists working with 
sound to respond to the question: What is the sound of Recession? 
Contributions are collected internationally reflecting the affects of 
crisis and recession from various social contexts and geographic 
locations. Together the Sounds of Ebb and images from Sousveillance 
produce articulations of a local city in crisis with global resonances 
of recession.

Deptford.TV is a research project on collaborative film - initiated by 
Adnan Hadzi in collaboration with the Deckspace media lab, Bitnik media 
collective, Boundless project, Liquid Culture initiative, and Goldsmiths 
College.

It is an online media database documenting the urban change of Deptford, 
in Sout East London. Deptford TV functions as an open, collaborative 
platform that allows artists, filmmakers and people living and working 
around Deptford to store, share, re-edit and redistribute the 
documentation of Deptford. http://deptford.tv

GOTO10 is a collective of international artists and programmers, 
dedicated to Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) and digital arts. 
GOTO10 aims to support and grow digital art projects and tools for 
artistic creation, located on the blurry line between software 
programming and art. http://goto10.org

The End of Something is a critical archival project that aims create a 
platform for reflection on the global crisis. During August 2009, 
LOUDSPKR in collaboration with Volume will embark on an on-going process 
of accumulation to build up an archive of personal, critical and 
creative reflections from a local and international community. Located 
in the former ‘Archive Room’ of a police station, Volume will become 
once again a bureau and repository for information. The archive exists 
both online in a 'digital archive' and in a physical archive at Volume. 
As a provisional space, the archive is perpetually incomplete and 
flawed. It, however, offers a space for dialogue and critical reflection 
on notions of crises that demand urgency as it increasingly seeps into 
our everyday. Through events, workshops and talks, the public will be 
engaged in processes of creating and imagining new narratives and 
understandings of a rather complex time.

Have something to contribute? Please get in touch: teos.project at gmail.com
