Arie Altena
Arie Altena writes about arts and new media. He works as an editor/researcher for the V2_Archive in Rotterdam (since 2007) and is a member of the editorial staff of the Sonic Acts Festival (since 2004). His articles are regularly featured in magazines such as De Gids, OPEN and Metropolis M, and he co-edited the Sonic Acts publications 'Unsorted, Thoughts on the Information Arts (2004)', 'The Anthology of Computer Art (2006)' and 'The Cinematic Experience (2008)'. In 2006, he worked as a researcher on the Ubiscribe project at the design department of the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht where he edited the print-on-demand publication 'Pervasive Personal Participatory, Ubiscribe 0.9.0 (2006)'. He cycles several thousands of kilometers a year on his racing bike, preferably without computer and GPS. Over the past three years, his blog developed into an archive of his cycling travels: ariealt.net/blog.
At this Sundayschool, Arie Altena will go into the ‘mediatization’ of speed cycling and the various ways in which communication media are used during the races. He will discuss the history of cycling – the way in which cycling developed hand in hand with the development of newspapers, radio and television – and more recent developments such as the Internet and GPS.
