First of all:
GREAT work of the organizers.
keep in mind that they weren’t eventmanagers until now…
Let me quote
Regine Debatty:
Just back from Frankfurt where i participated to the marvelously organized and well-attended Node08 Forum for Digital Art conference.
Paul Prudence:
With lectures, workshops, patcher kutcha’s, exhibitions and installations concerning the visual programming video toolkit VVVV, NODE08 really was an inspirational event.
of course there are some things to improve:
*the DMXworkshop was meant to be advanced. it was communicated that one should know about DMX/ArtNet.in fact most of the visitors didn’t know this so the workshop turned to be a beginners one. sorry for that. more advanced stuff next node.
*people working honorary from morning until late in the night have to pay their drinks and their food? IMO this is a no-go for the next time. working without wages is somehow ok, but you can’t bring money with you.
*better raise prises then. 111€ is more a joke than a price. other software workshops raise multiples of this for only one day.
*don’t keep techriders of artists hidden. avoid surprises.
*perhaps one week before LUMINALE. i didn’t have the possibility to visit the Light&Building Fair which is in fact the most important fair for me. hotels are cheaper then too.
frankfurt btw. has several advantages:
@MSBERGER and his company supplying immense amounts of Video,PC,Audio equipment is around. if they hadn’t sponsored the node, prices had to be around 5x as high i assume.
