新竹秋虎，「筆電即我」數位九降風席捲
女子擂台戰鼓驚動四方！

擂台聚是一場公開的女性數位影音表演者的聚會，設置在一個備有最尖端數位設備的拳擊擂台內。 女性表演者在舞台上操作筆電影像混合，相互對壘、既競爭又合作。

「筆電即我」自2009年到2010年，一年之中的四個季節裡，分別在蘇黎世、西班牙Caceras、柏林、馬德里的各大數位藝術節巡演，聚集了在地以及國際的女性數位藝術表演者。

2011年受到新竹百年影像藝術節的邀請，「筆電即我」特別推出以「風」主題的演出， 在數位視覺意向中演繹新竹特有的九降風。 我們鼓勵每一位參與的藝術家，將「風」這個主題，詮釋為能量 .速度. 刺激. 活力. 革命. 友情. 希望. 女力。

「筆電即我」擂台聚首次在台灣邀請女性影音藝術家參與，共同完成一場數位影音表演。擂台聚將邀請到巡迴於各大影音藝術節或是派對的女性影音藝術家，同時也擴大徵求尚未發跡的女性新血參與演出。受邀的藝術家將帶著他們的筆電準備就座，輪番等待自己的投影機會。整場競技不分勝負，就像街頭文化裡的自由競爭的氣息，女人們互鬥、互愛，從她們的筆電中強力放送聲音與影像。

擂台聚強力徵求女性數位影音藝術家，即日起接受報名。

LaptopsRus "MEETING | REUNIÓN" 
- A woman live performers' tournament

"MEETING | REUNIÓN" at Hsinchu Centennial Imaging Art Festival 19:30 - 22:30, October 7, 2011 Hsin Chu train station Public plaza, Hsin Chu, Taiwan

LaptopsRus "MEETING | REUNIÓN" is open public meeting of women live performers set inside an electronically updated boxing ring installation. Meeting as performance, Reunion as tournament, women with laptops play with or against each other in collaborative and challenging ways. The laptop generation, each a mobile agent with own laptop, each claims her personal style while embracing interactive performance platform. Modeling after women wrestler's tournament where women fight and sweat, "MEETING | REUNIÓN" presents an innovative form of live audiovisual performance. Each round of play situates two women on the opposite ringside, surrounded by video projections, aided by DJ sound system and moderated by a Matrix Mistress (MM). With preset play order , each live performer (invited and through open call) takes her side of the ring. Play rules are communicated. The audience are encouraged to be actively involved. They decide the playtime of each performer through collective vocal expression. Not unlike break dance showoff, each performer gets her playtime while anticipating chaotic intervention. In this tournament, no winners are declared. It is free style street culture - women in fight, in love, expressing (E)motion via their laptops with pixels and codes.

Invited by Hsinchu Centennial Imaging Art Festival, LAPTOPSRUS presents a special "WIND" edition for Hsin Chu, also known as wind city. Gusts of autumn wind transmit elements of growth, vitality, energy, speed, friendship, revolution & woman power. We invite Taiwan local and international woman live performers to expand the theme "WIND" with own visual/moving image interpretation. This chance meeting of woman live performers in Hsin Chu marks LaptopsRus' premiere edition in Asian region. Bring up the wind, we celebrate Hsinchu Centennial Imaging Art Festival with our ever-growing woman live performers' network.
