A WEEK OF QI GONG
WHAT IS CHI KUNG?
Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese health care system that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. Chi Kung practices can be classified as martial, medical, or spiritual. All styles have three things in common: they all involve a posture, (whether moving or stationary), breathing techniques, and mental focus. Chi Kung and related disciplines are
associated with the martial arts and meditation routines trained by Taoist and Buddhist monks, professional martial artists and their students.

once upon a time there was a building
currently many connections go from chequepoint across the channel to arrive to plymouth….
to the cybrid, a building sending messages in a bottle waiting on the internet for other people to see it, showing itself with a marvellous open source attitude difficult to find in a building.
info about the building status and visualizations can be found at arch-os.dyndns.org

abbadingo streamer in residence
Cheque Point Change is proud to announce the second ‘Developer in Residence Project’ (d.r.0.p.) starting on May 21th. The selected work in progress is a speculative research on webcam streams and representation of time on line. The focus is on delay and data travel, researching the illusion of gap, loss of fragments of time, transformation of substances within the digital domain. The interaction is starting during the mutual/mutant passage of digital into analog and analog into digital. The actor/actuator is duplicated by mitosi.
d.r.0.p. #2 is a collaboration between acracia and xname!
always nerds and proud again!

HIVE NETWORKS
Cheque Point Change is proud to announce the first ‘Developer in Residence Project’ (d.r.0.p.) starting on May 18th. The selected work in progress is ‘Hive Networks’ by Raylab!Raylab is an exciting group including an anaesthetist, architect, optical engineer and thermonuclear scientist. They collaborate using live video, film, moving image, graphics, lasers, electronics, optics, computers, sensors and micro controllers with the aim to integrate the fields of electronics and new media as well as architecture, and computing. Simply put they hope to create new environments, interactive installations, devices and live performances.Raylab is primarily based in London but have lived and worked in Amsterdam in the past, so the stay at Chequepoint will be a return to familiar streets. Their work has also taken them to Germany and Russia, with recent collaborations with free2air.org and consume.net. Raylabs experience in the area of laser projections has resulted in frequent collaborations with artists such as Jamie Reid among others.
During the Chequepoint residency Raylab will be taking the Hive Networks project further. Hive networks have been described as combining the virtues of free software, free networks and open hardware to generate a framework for virtually any type of networked media application.
“imagine swarms of intelligent network devices which all collaborate and facilitate media applications such as audio and video streaming and create clouds of free bandwidth using ad-hoc networking protocols”

daemons and computers
A daemon is a computer program that runs in the background, rather than under the direct control of a user. Daemons can perform a variety of tasks.
Open Daemon Lab is an appointment for electronic creatives, a place to investigate meaning and transformation of media. A space for questions and answers, problem solving and development to be shared.
