IDEA 20090707 Teaching in Beijing

Here are the proposals to Benoit Granier for Teaching in Beijing he wanted me to provide:

1.) Conservatory of Music

 * IDEA 20090907 Advanced Music, Sound Arts and DJ Culture
 * IDEA 20090908 Advanced Music Production
 * IDEA 20090909 Sound Installation - Music and Sound Beyond the Score
 * IDEA 20090910 Pop Music - International, China, and the Internet

Statement

I want to build up the conceptual and social involvement of composition students through teaching at Beijing University. While performers at Beijing University are amongst the top in the world, all students could benefit from considering new forms for their performance and compositions. Students could benefit from higher levels of conceptual connection between their ideas, history, and advanced production techniques.

2.) BeiDa Course Ideas

 * World Wide Web Workshop: http://rejon.org/teaching/world-wide-web-workshop/
 * IDEA 20090911 Real Virtual - OpenGL, Augmented Reality, and Scripting
 * IDEA 20090912 Open Source Multimedia Production (all open source tools, to be used in production)
 * IDEA 20090915 Selling Out (of Everything) - Commodifying Your Art

Laoban Soundsystem 2.0 (Proposal)

Laoban Soundsystem is an open sound system. The plans for all speakers are available on-line. The events the soundsystem participates in are media events that generate further media and attention for those who sponsor the development of Laoban. Anyone who attends the events, creates the speakers, or produces content for them, is asked to tag work with "laoban."

For BeiDa's Research involvement, we propose to create the next Laoban Soundsystem 3.0 and curate events in Beijing and around China. BeiDa's name will be attached to all these events as an affiliate, bringing both reputation and status to the program, and further encouraging potential students to enroll at BeiDa.

The Laoban Soundsystem events are a new type of media event where all are welcome to join, bring media, laptops, video players, cameras, and other recording devices. The goal is to mix media, explore what artists, DJs, musicians, designers, and architects are working on RIGHT NOW — successes, failures, and rough edges are welcome at Laoban events! The ultimate plan is for consumers to be producers by both mixing media, and by tagging any recordings they have with “laoban” when posting onto twitter.com, flickr.com, or other places.

TAGS: laoban, beijing, experimental, art, music, dubstep, media, sharing

这是一个新的媒体活动尝试，欢迎大家带上你们的手提电脑、摄像机、播放器或其它录制设备来参加活动. 我们的目的是混合媒体，并了解艺术家、DJ、音乐家、设计师、建筑师正在进行的工作和项目，无论是成功的、失败的还是未完成的项目. 计划的最终目的是通过媒体的混合，以及通过在纪录的内容（照片，视频等）上添加“老板”的标签（tagging) 并上传到 twitter.com, flickr.com 和其它地方，从而使消费者成为生产者.

参加者：艺术家、音乐家、软件/网络发展人，朋友
