PERFORMANCE RESEARCH 10.4
On Techne: performance and the human-crafted environment
Performance Research Vol. 10, No. 4 (December 2005)
Issue Editors: Richard Gough and Mick Wallis

The aim of the issue is to explore ways in which one might describe, imagine or exploit the many relationships between aesthetic performance and the techne, so as to further our knowledge and understanding of each. By ‘techne’ (or tekne, tekhne), we mean to designate two linked areas: first, the human-crafted environment, which includes but also exceeds technology; and second, one term in the dialectical pair episteme / tekhne, whose historical development from the classical Greek includes the sense of knowledge / craft.

netopticon report

Together with superficial anonymity and seemingly apparent ways of hiding or faking one’s identity, the Internet delivers a new set of powerful and sophisticated instruments of surveillance. Network activity of an individual user, intercepted on the borders of ostensibly integral web realm, is easily back-traced by power holders – via IP address to ID number – and provides the agent for latent supervision of controlling eye-ear.

Scouting and tight inspection of personal information, at times readily exposed, serves economical and political interests of the system, helps creating the new ways of control and improves the old ones. Established around network security commercial structures continuously populate virtual file-cabinets, simultaneously supporting the channels of supervised data distribution.

netopticon – the current project of no-org.net – is an attempt to create an artistic and textual report on the topic of infringement of privacy and its protection. We are looking forward to net art works and texts dealing with resistance to manipulatively mediated concept of security, to art projects devoted to true anonymity of net-surfing and net-correspondence, to works intentionally feeding systems with falsified data, to any remarks, suggestions and ideas that would add up to a contemporary report on the topic.

Although it is not exclusive condition, projects that work on the three major platforms (Linux, Macintosh and Windows) are preferred.

The deadline for submissions is March, 30, 2005

New journal, The Senses and Society, seeks articles.

THE SENSES & SOCIETY, new journal from Berg
Editors: Paul Gilroy, David Howes, Douglas Kahn

Should you have an article you would like to submit, please write to
Michael Bull, managing editor, at The Senses & Society, Department of
Media & Film Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton, Sussex, BN1 9QQ UK
m.bull@sussex.ac.uk

A heightened interest in the role of the senses in society is sweeping the social sciences, supplanting older paradigms and challenging conventional theories of representation. The senses mediate between mind and body, idea and object, self and society. The senses are gendered, racialized and classed. The senses are also increasingly technologized and commercialized across a range of industries (e.g. design, marketing) – all of which make use of the subtle yet profound impact sensory stimuli have on social behavior. Simply put, sensation is fundamental to our experience, yet is often overlooked as a site for cultural analysis.

Addressing all of the above, this path-breaking new journal provides an antidote to the verbo- and ocular-centrism of conventional social scientific accounts of meaning and human agency. It also problematizes the increasingly homogenized notion of ‘the body’ by highlighting the multiple forms of human sensuousness. The Senses & Society creates a forum for examining the varieties of sensory experience that exist in contemporary society, and promotes research on the cultural, political and aesthetic dimensions of sensory expression and communication.

http://www.transmediale.de/page/listings/listing.0.programme.workspace.2.html

The BASEMENT project in the House of World Cultures will be the 3rd edition of the
transmediale Workspace. A hybrid of exhibition and open lab with workshops and
presentations, the BASEMENT provides insight into the approaches and working methodologies
of the participating artists, as well as the opportunity for dialogue. The BASICS theme of
transmediale.05 is articulated in this space by the idea of BASIC NEEDS.

Projects in the BASEMENT take a closer look at basic issues such as housing, health, food,
security, mobility and communication. Several artists and project-groups who deal with
geo-political, social and technical infrastructure
are invited to present their work. What technology is required to satisfy our BASIC NEEDS?

Thematically connected to the BASEMENT are the workshops and the transmediale salon.

****

2. TM.SALON
The transmediale Salon is the open platform of the festival. It is stage, café, meeting
point and is available for versatile presentations of artistic projects. The magazine
character of the program offers the opportunity for informal encounters and for open
discussions in front of an interested audience.

Corresponding with the theme of the BASEMENT we are especially interested in works and
projects that deal with the BASIC NEEDS such as housing, shelter, food, security, mobility
and communication.

The Salon is part of the free accessible part of the festival just like the foyer and the
BASEMENT. The basic technical infrastructure is available for the presentations.

****

3. TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is available at the stage:
PC, sound system/mixer, videoprojector, screen, microphones, CD player. WLAN is available

We invite you to take part in the GAME section of the International festival of digital arts in Prague (Entermultimediale 2) as an artist, performer, curator or a researcher.

Submission deadline /ARTWORKs, WORKSHOPs/: February 28 2005
Submission deadline /ABSTRACTs/: March 10 2005

People that play do not make trouble! This adaptation of an old Czech saying about children sums up the paradoxes involved in the contemporary game culture. Are games neutral in respect to values, politics, gender etc.? Are they a powerful new ground for rethinking these categories and forming new views of these issues? How can games influence the public? Are the virtual worlds of the Massive Multiplayer Online Games just an escape from everyday life or emergent new communities offering a different forms of public engagement and social life? Do they confirm that bread and games keep the pleb quiet or they offer a potent new medium for self determination and experiments? How is art reacting to these issues? How are games (mis)used by art and how is art (mis)used by games?

The computer games are the most fruitful ground for multidisciplinary encounters. The goal of the conference is to display the variety of approaches, ideas and discussions around games that are taking place today.

The exhibition of Game art will take place in the large Vitkov museum/mausoleum in Prague (http://prague.tv/venues/2691).

New Digital Art project for creating, converting and sharing original mobile audio….

Use Freeloader to crete your own mobile audio art!

Freeloader is a DIY ringtone creation and distribution environment. It is a commission by UK based FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) and created by Kisky Netmedia. It allows users to input MP3, MIDI and WAV files and turn them into original ringtone content. The web application converts audio into ringtones suitable for over 350 phones allowing for playback of experimental work for a wide user group.

The project is set to develop its content in 2005 through pupils projects, artist lead workshops, and through input from remote users – anyone who wishes to experiment with their own mobile content.

If you are a sound artist, musician, composer, or mobile tone enthusiast, or just want a new original ringtone you may like to have a go at making your own tones using Freeloader. All submitted content should be original and copyright free and will be shared with the Freeloader community growing this resource of user-generated content.

Freeloader was developed as part of FACT’s Stream and Shout Project.

World’s largest CyberArts competition – Six Golden Nicas and Ç 110,000 in prize money – Entries commence January 10th.

Creatives across the entire spectrum of media art and technology may begin submitting their work to the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica on January 10th. The categories range from [the next idea] and u19 competitions for young people to the classic Ars Electronica disciplines-Digital Musics, Net Vision, Computer Animation and Interactive Art-all the way to Digital Communities with its programmatic commitment to sociopolitical innovation. The deadline for submissions is March 10, 2005.

The Prix Ars Electronica is being held for the 19th time this year. This cyberarts competition is conceived as an open platform for works representing a broad spectrum of disciplines in the digital media field at the interface of art, technology and society. Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica is the most important and most successful international showcase of the best of digital media art.

>>> Details about the categories are provided on the following pages.

To submit an entry and for more information, log on to www.aec.at/prix

The Categories

COMPUTER ANIMATION / VISUAL EFFECTS
The “Computer Animation / Visual Effects” category has been part of the Prix Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical achievement.

DIGITAL MUSICS
Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of “electronica” come in for consideration in the “Digital Musics” category, as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic to experimental music, and sound installations. This category’s programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and artistic currents.

INTERACTIVE ART
The “Interactive Art” category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration is given to the realization of a powerful artistic concept through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the interaction design, and the work’s inherent potential to expand the human radius of action.

NET VISION
The “Net Vision” category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed and-especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this category.

DIGITAL COMMUNITIES
For the second time in 2005, Prix Ars Electronica will honor important achievements by digital communities. This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging social impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in the fields of social software, mobile communications and wireless networks. “Digital Communities” spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence-efforts to bridge the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide, to create outstanding social software or to enhance the accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This category showcases the political potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for the consideration of a broad spectrum of projects, programs, initiatives and phenomena in which social innovation is taking place, as it were, in real time. A Golden Nica, two Awards of Distinction and up to 12 Honorary Mentions will be awarded in the Digital Communities category in 2005.

[the next idea]
Art and Technology Grant

The aim of this grant focusing on the mutually enriching interplay of art and technology is to nurture concepts for the future that young thinkers are coming up with today. This category’s target group includes students at universities, art schools, polytechnic colleges and other educational institutions, as well as all other interested persons throughout the world between the ages of 19 and 27, who have developed a not-yet-realized concept in the fields of media art, media design or media technology. The winner will receive a Ç 7,500 grant and an invitation to spend a semester as scientific assistant and artist-in-residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab.

u19 freestyle computing

“u19 freestyle computing” is Austria’s foremost computer competition for young people. Helping youngsters to bring their ideas to fruition and exhibit their work, and nurturing their abilities, creativity and inventiveness in working with modern technologies and new media is the mission of Prix Ars Electronica’s u19 freestyle computing category. Just as the name “freestyle computing” suggests, the spectrum of potential submissions is broad. And a perusal of the 1,103 entries in 2004 confirms that Austrian young people are giving free rein to their creativity. The list of past winners and recipients of Awards of Distinction and Honorary Mentions also displays great diversity, including groups of kids as well as individuals, primary school pupils and high school grads. The thematically wide-ranging creative encounter of Austrian youth with the kaleidoscope of modern technology is being played out in computer animation, robotics, Web design, interactive games and an array of ot!
her fields.

OMADS + RESIDENTS
A forum for visitors in the arts: making connections, supporting networks,
setting up meetings

RAM-Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents

A collection and a traveling archive of audio-artworks, a database on the
Internet, and a center for different ways of listening

Proposal open to all artists who work with sound

Radioartemobile (RAM) and Nomads & Residents (N&R) kickoff an audio-artwork
database.

All artists who have worked or are working with sound are invited to send an
artwork on audio CD, DVD, or on a vinyl record. The RAM headquarters in Rome,
via Conte Verde 15, will function as a gathering and a listening point and as
an archive for all materials received. It will be open to public. Artworks will
be gradually posted in the section “database” of the Radio website
www.radioartemobile.it.

RAM is also the first location of a traveling archive initiated by Nomads &
Residents. The second public presentation will be in San Francisco, at Southern
Exposure, in the spring of 2005.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AUDIO-WORKS

- unlimited subject matter;
- each CD, DVD or vinyl record must contain only one track;
- time is unrestricted (except that of the technical features of the chosen
device);
- each audio-work must be entered with a written indication of: the name of
the author, a title, duration, and an e-mail contact address;
- the sender can mention any requirement needed to listen to the audio-work
(type of loudspeakers, stereo system, headphones, etc.). These indications will
be taken into consideration each time RAM would chose the piece for installing
it, within the technical and logistic features available;
- RAM and N&R cannot assure a complete accessibility for the works that
include a primary visual factor;
- the sender is responsible for mailing costs of submission;
- the works will not be returned to the senders.

Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents will take the best care of the entered
works, but cannot take liability for accidental damage, loss or theft. For this
reason we suggest to send two copies of each material. RAM and N&R will archive
all sound works that fit the above mentioned requirements and will present them
to the public.

Lorenzo Benedetti, Riccardo Giagni and Cesare Pietroiusti will listen to all
the entries and will gradually post them in the web-site database. In turn -to
the discretion of the curators- some artworks will be displayed in the RAM
headquarters in Rome with the aim of offering the public also the possibility
to explore different ways of listening to audio-works. The database will
gradually increase the number of contributions and will be presented to the
public at regular appointments. The first public presentation is scheduled for
mid October 2004.

Deadline for first submission is September 1, 2004.
Next appointment: Southern Exposure, San Francisco, spring 2005

Please send the material to:
RAM Radioartemobile
Via Conte Verde 15
00185 Roma – Italy

Introduction:
————-
The Budget Gallery organizes gallery style art shows in the unused public spaces found in urban areas. From empty walls to empty buildings, the Budget Gallery uses any space that is available and highly visible during the day. Space is often prepared with white paint and signage so work will be as professionally presented as possible. Pieces will be labeled with the artists name, materials used, and asking price for the work. We host opening receptions that are attended by hundreds of people forming a sort-of block party garage sale style art show right on the sidewalk.

All pieces not sold by the end of the the opening reception stay up for the course of the week with a price and contact phone number for interested buyers. The gallery is in co-opted public space with no security. Any work not sold at the reception can be sold, stolen, or vandalized during the rest of the show. Artists submit work with these inevitabilities in mind. Most work sells at the opening, but some is always left. The Budget Gallery considers vandalism a form of artistic collaboration, and theft is the highest honor of the Budget Gallery.

—————–
Call for entries:
—————–
All work that meets guidelines will be accepted for the show – in line with the Budget Gallery’s belief that any art is better than the commercial advertising which typically dominates public spaces. Work will either be purchased, stolen, or vandalized. Artists are encouraged to make pieces for this show with these inevitabilities in mind. Ideal pieces should catch the eye, capture the imagination, and invite extended viewing from passing crowds. Art that addresses the issues of public space are especially encouraged, but again, all work will be accepted.

Artists are encouraged to use the Budget Gallery as an opportunity to show work they may not normally present in other venues. Masterpieces are not required. Work in media other than the artists primary media is encouraged, along with older pieces, works in progress, studies, and so on.

Work should be priced to sell to the general public. All pieces not sold at the opening will be left on the wall for 1 week, after which they will be placed elsewhere. Those interested in your piece will be instructed to remove it, take it home, and contact the gallery regarding payment. Commission is arbitrary, optional, and decided by the artist. Work will not be returned.

———–
The Theme:
———–

Use the theme if it inspires you. If it doesn’t, find something that inspires you and use that.

The theme is “Success!” What does success mean to you? Personal success. Financial success. Spiritual success. Physical success. What is success in times of war? What is success in November? What is success in your art? What is success in your family or career? How do your ideas of success compare with others? To what they were 5 years ago? 25 years ago?

———–
Guidelines:
———–

1. All work must haver our entry form attached.
2. Work must be able to be hung on a wall or fence.
– It must be mounted on something hard – clipped to a piece of cardboard is ok, just no loose paper.
3. Please avoid pieces larger than 40 inches by 40 inches or any piece heavier than 25 pounds. If your piece exceeds these dimensions, contact the Budget Gallery before submitting your work.
4. Please deliver art with your preferred mounting hardware supplied. If no mounting hardware is supplied, work will be hung in the most convenient way possible (Starting with wood screws, then staples, twine, or tape).
6. Please submit a slide or digital photo of work (if possible) for our website.
7. Work must be received by July 24th , 2004

Submission:

Please email where@budgetgallery.org for submission address.

DRAIN- An online journal for contemporary art and culture
(www.drainmag.com)

Call for Papers – Remote Control
Issue #02

What your data body says about you is more real than what you say about
yourself. The data body is the body by which you are judged in society,
and the body which dictates your status in the world.
Critical Art Ensemble

Remote Control maybe considered a defining feature of the
inter-relationship between manifestations of cultural control exerted via
the Internet and recent premises in the physical and conceptual parameters
of experimental digital art.

This upcoming issue of DRAIN aims to question the relationship between
local community action and globalization, and to consider that throughout
anti-globalization protests, the Internet and cyberspace play a vital
role. Furthermore, strategies for dealing with these situations through
art activism and other techniques on the Internet, such as telematics,
have proven critical.

DRAIN would like to invite essays and reviews that respond to the themes
of globalization and protest, power and cyberspace, surveillance culture,
art activism, cultural imperialism, and digital third worlds.

Authors Guidelines
Deadline for submission: July 10th(extemdded!)
Launch Date:July 20th

All feature essays are to be no more than 4,000 words. Drain requests
authors submitting feature essays for consideration, to use the footnote
system and to send the document (along with a brief biographical note) as
an email attachment saved as a Word file. A minimum of three images and a
maximum of eight are to accompany essays unless pure theory.

Reviews are not to exceed 1,500 words. Reviews are to be sent as an email
attachment saved as a Word file. A minimum of one image and a maximum of
four are to accompany each review unless a book review where no image is
required. Reviews can cover any art form: fine art, moving image, sound,
book, or performance. Although the lead essays should address the specific
theme of each issue, the reviews could be more general. It is the authors
responsibility to seek copyright for images. Images are to be sent as
j-peg files. All attachments are to be titled with the authors surname.

Drain is a peer-reviewed on-line journal. It is published quarterly in
collaboration with the independent artist collective Aquaspace with text
formatted for printing in Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Its editorial policies
are the responsibility of the Editors-in-Chief and the Editorial Board.

Editorial board: Avantika Bawa, Celina Jeffery, and Adrian Parr
Site Design: Carla Diana
Management: Avantika Bawa and Michelle Barczak

ABOUT DRAIN
General Guidelines
The journal seeks to promote lively and well-informed debate around theory
and praxis. Each issue of Drain will have a specific concept that it
explores. We are especially keen to publish pieces that connect the
conceptual framework of each issue to broader themes such as
globalization, ethics, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and capitalism. As

Call for Submissions – Video Dictionary

Deadline: 16 October

VideoDictionary is a project about language and moving images. It is a new

venture of TheVideoArtFoundation after the development and presentation of

25hrs in Barcelona. The aim of the VideoDictionary is to make a collection

of videos of less than one minute of duration that define different words of

the dictionary. It will reflect about the relationship of objects and words,

and the capability of moving images to construct meaning. The videos are

made by a wide variety of video artists from different countries and

language speakers using video in its work. Videos should not contain words

neither on the images nor on the soundtrack, so the dictionary is available

for speakers of all languages. However, English will be the primary language

for classify and order the entries.

Hi all-

I am going to personally host four small contests (two weeks each) to see who
can rip and remix from TV/film/etc … and I need some ideas for the four
subjects/themes.

For example, “Ronald Reagan” may be one of the subjects … the contestants
would have to rip and remix anything they could find related to the ex-prez

Another subject/theme may be … “prescription drug commercial
advertisements”. Hence, contestants would have to rip and remix from
commercials like Viagra, Claritin, etc

Another theme may be that of a particular Film or Film Director.

Another may be a particular corporate brand

Or possibly a particular phrase such as “I have a dream” or “United we stand”.

So if there is any subject that you would like to have ripped and dissected
then let me know.

Check out the website for more info … www.mediatrips.com

Thanks,

Pace University, NY seeks Digital Artist in Residence, deadline Oct. 1, 2004

Digital Artist-in-residence
The Pace Digital Gallery and The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) is pleased to offer an artist’s residency beginning Spring 2005. This is a pilot program. We are offering a digital artist the opportunity to work with CAM’s resources to produce a new artwork.

Site
The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) Is a collaborative research environment located in Pace University’s School of Computer Science and Information Systems in downtown New York City. Its goal is to develop computer-oriented, human-centered systems that help people solve problems by transforming the way they experience the world and the way they collaborate within it. CAM is founded on Pace University’s collective faculty experiences in software engineering, human-computer interaction, information visualization, and computer graphics. These computing fields are fundamentally human-centric, with design as the common approach to complex representational problems. Because visual artists, musicians, and writers possess different perceptual, design, and representational skills, CAM is interested in augmenting its computer science foundations with participants who work in the arts and humanities to broaden the research and educational mix.

The Pace Universitys Digital Gallery is an outgrowth of CAM’s conceptual foundation, executed as the combined initiative between CAM and Fine Arts Department. Its goal is to foster the creation and understanding of digital art for the benefit of Pace University and the surrounding community. It furthers Pace Universitys commitment to educational excellence, diversity, and civic involvement by exhibiting curated work of leading digital artists, as well as the work of Pace faculty and students. It sponsors lectures and symposia on digital art, and supports publication of materials for its documentation and promotion.

The Digital Gallerys first show entitled Digital Downtown opened to rave reviews in Spring 2003. Since then it has co-hosted a Pan-American collaborative performance event titled Accélerateur, and an installation of video works entitled Screen Kiss. Its current online exhibition eBay: Buy or Sell or Buy, will run through September 2004. An evening of artists’ talks was organized and catalogue issued in conjunction with the eBay exhibition.

Residency
The artist-in-residence will have the opportunity to work with CAM faculty and students whose research includes computer graphics, virtual reality, image processing, human-computer interaction, and collaborative computing. This work is supported by technology that includes a virtual reality display system, networked PCs, multi-display and plasma display systems, projectors, video cameras, scanners, etc.

The artist-in-residence will be expected to produce a new artwork during their tenure at Pace (January 30 – May 10, 2005), which will remain the property of the artist. Pace Digital Gallery will produce, with the artist, a printed brochure about the work completed in residence, and will expect the artist to give a presentation of their work to the Pace Community and the general public. Pace Digital Gallery will also feature the artist on our website, and in gallery space at Pace University. There will be a modest stipend, but no living accommodations are provided. Access to equipment will be Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 6:00PM, and Saturday from 8:00AM to 3:00PM.

Pace University affirms its commitment to the principle of equal Career Opportunities as stated in Federal, State, and local laws, which prohibits discrimination because of sex, race, age, ethnicity, marital or domestic partnership status, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, disability or veteran.

Artists will be chosen by a jury comprised of the gallery directors, as well as a local artist and curator.

===============CALL FOR PAPERS===============

Acoustic Space, special issue of on Trans-Culture Mapping

http://rixc.lv
http://locative.net

=====================================

The RIXC Centre for New Media Culture seeks manuscripts for its
upcoming Acoustic Space journal, to be published for the 7th
international Art+Communication festival in Riga Latvia, October 1-3
2004. Now in its 5th edition, the Acoustic Space print journal, is a
forum for net-radio and new media artists broadly interested in the
idea of making visible the invisible. This year’s issue, Trans-Culture
Mapping, will focus, in the context of European expansion, on ideas of
locality, cartography and the politics of open-systems.

=====================================

The ability to visualize a space relates to its domination where
borders are maintained by a legions of state cartographers, enforcing
hierarchical regimes of power from the level of the biological to the
geopolitical.

Against the US-led ‘coalition of the willing’ of which Latvia counts
itself a part –informed, as it is, by the US Strategic Command’s
objective of “Full Spectrum Dominance” (that seeks the unilateral total
domination of land, sea, air, cyberspace and outer space)- this
publication is interested in projects that re-appropriate mapping as a
means cultural expression.

The publication seeks to offer a space of exchange for grassroots
activists and new media practitioners who are critically exploring
ideas of locality, in response to the continental European (and global)
process of “normalization”.

=====================================

Sub-themes

Locative Media
Governments and corporations worldwide are constructing a geo-rectified
real-time digital-double of earth-systems, which, with the advent of
the mobile Internet and the ever increasing ubiquity of
location-sensing technologies, allow for urban space to become
conceived of as a site for digital media and, potentially, emergent
social organization. Yet, beneath the manifold promise of collaborative
cartography, is the harsh reality of ‘total information awareness’. Can
locative media escape its own axiomatic system?

Spectrum Ecology
Advances in wireless internet technology are changing not only how
people connect to the internet but also how they approach the wireless
spectrum itself. This section seeks to map how ideas of use and
ownership are being analyzed and reconsidered in this environment.

Tactical Cartography
Social softwares have become a means of mobilizing people without
having to go to the “Media” to convey a message. Problems, however,
persist in making the leap into more mainstream circuits of power. How
can maps be used both to help legitimize certain “fringe”
Internet-debates and throw light on the nature of multinational
capitalism?

Endocolonization
In the context of a “War on Terror”, global borders are being mapped
_within_, in a battle for “hearts and minds”. While we may celebrate
aspects of European integration, smaller States must also be cautious
of the wholesale adoption of various monoculturing techniques that
threaten their local diversities. How does “the local” assert itself
while at the same time avoiding becoming reactionary and
fundamentalist.

=====================================

Proposals and inquiries regarding submissions should be made to Marc
Tuters and Rasa Smite

Exit Strategy

Call to artists to propose works that define their vision of crime/war/terror.
Deadline 1st of August 2004

Artists are invited to submit works for Exit Strategy, a multidisciplinary project that will examine artists current notions of War/Crime/Terror. The exhibition is planned to open in the Netherlands in Winter 2004 and will tour internationally during 2005.

We witnessed the destruction of Afghanistan and the toppling and shattering of Iraq while proud journalists reported so called liberating events in front of our eyes. We are told the war ended a long time ago by the Bush administration. But who do we believe as day after day disturbing images of abused Iraqi people are shown in the media? Soldiers are still there with no exit strategy, more troops are being committed and the death toll of innocent civilians increases.

Do we know what is happening in the name of western democracy? Are demonstrations effective? What is the coalition force? Who is behind it? What are human rights?
When is torture justified? When is liberation occupation? When is patriotism xenophobic? Is a war on terrorism winnable? Who are the rulers, decision makers who runs the world? Are we safer today than yesterday?

Proposals may be for work in any medium. Please submit a proposal (maximum 500 words) describing your project ideas; a sketch of proposed project; CV; documentation of your previous work (slides or images on CD, video on DVD or VHS PAL). Please include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return of your work. We are not responsible for returning works submitted without a stamped SAE.

Call for karaoke videos by artists

CONTRABAND, STOWAWAY LOUNGE:
ARTIST-MADE KARAOKE VIDEOS

For screening at ISEA2004 CRUISE AND LOS ANGELES FREEWAVES FESTIVAL

Deadline: July 26, 2004

We are soliciting short videos for a global karaoke jukebox on a ferry between Helsinki and Stockholm as part of ISEA2004 Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (http://www.isea2004.net/). Videos for CONTRABAND, STOWAWAY LOUNGE should re-invent the pop-cultural medium of karaoke. From Tokyo to Tallinn, the ubiquitous, democratic form of entertainment activates national identity, nostalgia, sentimentality, and glimmers of rock-stardom. Individual performances transform this generic format into ironic, campy, critical and individualized meanings. Erupting within the entertainment-industrial complex, these do-it-yourself appropriations recode the corporate into the personal. We invite artists to create musical video-dramas for the crooners of ISEA2004, and later, Los Angeles Freewaves Festival.

Submission Guidelines:

Videos the length of pop songs should be submitted with vocals-free music. Read along lyrics preferred. Midi files, if necessary, can be downloaded for free off the web. Please submit an NTSC Mini-DV videotape.
Mail to:

Christina Ulke / Rachel Mayeri

Miki Watanabe, FF Alumn, seeks photographs for art project asap.

Hi all,
I have been selected to enter a competition sponsored by AT&T and my theme is “family & friends” and I am in need of some photos of just that. The format of the structure is a huge Ampersand symbol measuring 6′x6′x12″ and I will be collaging the 12″ side with photos. (I’m imagining this project to be similar to the cows that infiltrated the streets a few years ago) the final format will look like it was taken in a photo booth but you don’t have to go to a photo booth to get the pictures done. If you would like to be included/involved/pictured on a piece of public art work for the 4th of July down at the South Street Seaport, please send me some pictures of you with a friend or family.

What I need from you:
4 separate shots of you and another person in a tight space.
please send me j-pegs or photoshop document, with a resolution no more
than 300dpi. I will take all the photos and crop them to a uniform size, making them look like they were taken in a photo booth. they can be serious or goofy. Please send me the pictures ASAP (I need to begin installing on June 23rd) sorry for such short notice, but I just found out today. also if you are in NYC I can come by and take pictures of you with my digital camera if you don’t have one. thanks so much in advance for those who are interested in participating! questions? you can call me at 646-391-3113

. – . * 17th “Independent Arts”-Festival, Saturday 16 April 2005 * . -

. * Our last Festival issue 16 has been visited by approximately 200 to
250 people, among them a majority whom came especially for the art
section of the programme. Both young and not so young were present,
e.g. children from the Roeselaere Academy came to meet mail-artists
from Belgium and beyond. More international artists were present then
previous years, i.e. about 20 artists from Italy, France, the
Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the U.S.A, active in several art
scenes such as Mail-Art, independent comics and street art.
Mail-artists as Tiziana Baracchi and Giancarlo Da Lio (Italy), Karl
Friedrich Hacker (Germany), Peter Kstermann (Germany), H.R. Fricker
(Switzerland), Rod Summers (the Netherlands), RÈmy PÈnard (France),
JoÎl Thepault (France), Zo Elizabeth Zois – Zoe (U.S.A.), Buz Blurr
(U.S.A.), State of Being (U.S.A), and Belgian Mail-artists were
present.

As a remembrance to this Festival, some young ladies have sprayed in
the pub several stencil graffiti pieces, based on stencils sent to us
as part of the Mail-Art project “Szjablony”. Street art and especially
stencil graffiti was a new media which did get attention for the first
time at our Festival. Compared to previous editions, there was the
increased importance of small press and video art as well. * . – . *

INTRODUCTION: Since 1988, the “Independent Arts”-Festival has grown
towards an international known event for any form of creativity. The
aim of the Festival is both to present an overview of independent
creativity world wide, performed by communication networks, and to
create a meeting place for exchanging the acquired experiences. The
Festival mainly focuses on artistic activities performed in scenes such
as home-tape, Mail-Art, street art, small press, . On top of that,
video, performance and fine art artists do get the possibility to
exhibit and perform their creativity. As such, the “Independent
Arts”-Festival is unique in its kind. -o-

Street Art: Stencil graffiti, stickering, postering, … or any form
of personal creativity related to street art. -o- Fine art: Guest
exhibitions from local young artists whom did not have, as yet, the
possibility to exhibit their artwork. -o- Mail-Art: Mail-Art or
correspondence art has been part of international arts scene since the
50′s by means of aesthetic items as rubberstamps, artistamps, artist
trading cards, fluxus bucks, decorated postcards, … -o- Small press:
A view on the scene of independent publications and small press, comic
books or artists books. For many years, zines, or self-edited and
self-published magazines, have become an essential communication form
in several sub-cultures. -o- Performance: Performance art is, with its
mix of fine art and theatre, an almost unknown form of creativity.
Spoken word, literature or poetry reading can undeniably be part of the
Festival. -o- Video: The world of moving images has broadened
substantially as video, animation, independent film and documentary
have been here for ages, with the internet and web-video becoming its
most recent additions. -o- Home-tape: In the homegrown-tape scene,
musicians have been recording their synth stuff on cassette tape from
the early 80′s onwards, and mailing them directly to anyone interested.
Since then slowly moving towards CD-recording and creation of new
independent labels.

Witte de With invites Iraqi cultural producers to participate in the
project Contemporary Arab Representations, In-betweenity, by
submitting existing or ongoing work.

In-betweenity is a work program questioning the cultural practices of
Iraqi authors working inside and outside Iraq’s borders.
In-betweenity indicates a hypothetical terrain in which Iraqi
intellectuals have had to practice the culture of necessity, the act
of salvation, over the past three decades, an era marked by political
upheavals, dictatorship, wars, embargo and exile. It is a culture
that does not belong to any aesthetic, ethnic or political category;
but to its moment. This terrain is imposed on the Iraqi intellectual
because of his realization of the degree of complexity and
criticality, as well as commitment to his historical role. This
terrain should not be understood as producing only a culture of
necessity, but also as a cultural product that reflects the
intellectual, mental and aesthetic level of Iraqi cultural
practitioners.

A bilingual Arabic-English website,
www.inbetweenity.com, and a related application form provide a
structure for individuals to present their work. The application is
designed to offer access to cultural producers inside and outside
Iraq to participate by submitting either existing or ongoing work.
This allows space for a diversity of authors to bridge between
heterogeneous Iraqi cultural communities.
Contemporary Arab Representations invites Mohamed as curator of this project.

Contemporary Arab Representations is a long-term project which
includes seminars, publications, performances and presentations of
works by various authors – visual artists, architects, writers, poets
and intellectuals, but also actors in social and political life -
with the aim of encouraging production, circulation and exchange
between the different centers of the Arab world and the rest of the
world.
The project thus aims to tackle heterogeneous situations and contexts
which may sometimes be antagonistic or conflictive, in order to
acquire more specific knowledge about what is currently going on in
different regions of the Arab world, to look at the complex
dimensions of aesthetics in relation to social and political
situations, and to encourage people to think more openly about the
role played today by cultural practices in our own locations, under
our own circumstances.

At the beginning of 2005 Contemporary Arab Representation,
In-betweenity, will be presented at Witte de With.

For further information about the project please contact Witte de
With or visit www.inbetweenity.com.

Opening hours Witte de With: Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Venice, Italy

City Council of Venice

International call for artists

International competition for the creation and realization of two works of art to be installed in the new building complex of the Law Courts of Venice, located in the area of the ex-Tobacco Factory in Piazzale Roma.

www.comune.venezia.it/gare/doc/2004…

The Venice City Council competition announcement involves the realization of two works of art, characterized by a different method of selection and by different artistic interventions.

The first section is for open participation. Artists, or groups of artists, will be selected on the basis of their applications and curricula and will be responsible for elaborating a project for the entrance hall, which is the access point for the entire Law Courts building structure and located in the interior of a new building. The buildings architectural plan and construction is currently underway.

The second section of the competition is reserved for renown artists to be selected directly by the competitions jury. The artists will be asked to intervene, in collaboration with designers and architects, in elaborating an area, which is currently in the process of being defined. The area is roughly an open square on which face the various buildings of the Law Courts complex.

:: transmediale.05 Award
:: Call for Entries
:: Deadline: 15. September 2004

You will find the complete call for download at:
www.transmediale.de/05/pdf/tm05_call.pdf

transmediale, international media art festival berlin, invites submissions
for its Award Competition. The competition highlights outstanding
contemporary artistic positions in digital media art. The international
jury will award one main prize of EUR 4.000, and two second prizes of EUR
2.000 each.

It seems impossible to define either the ‘core’ or the ‘borders’ of what
constitutes electronic or digital media art. However, the main concern of
transmediale is the vector field in which artistic practices and new
technologies intersect, and where they articulate their social and cultural
meanings. As a festival for media art and digital culture, transmediale
presents advanced positions in the artistic reflection about the
socio-cultural impact of new technologies. It seeks out artistic practices
that not only respond to scientific developments, but that try to shape the
way in which we think about and experience these technologies. transmediale
understands media technologies as cultural techniques which need to be
embraced in order to be able to understand, critique, and shape our
contemporary society.

There are many ways for artists to explore the relation between art and
technology. What is important for transmediale, though, is that the
artistic practices do not only make use of technologies, but that they also
imply a reflection about the aesthetic, cultural and social dimensions of
such technological developments. What the festival and its competition try
to convey is an understanding of media art as a sounding board and catalyst
for a critical and creative expansion of the potential of human agency
through new
technologies.

While during the last years, the transmediale competition had three
separate categories (Image, Interaction, Software), we are this year
responding to various discussions by abolishing the separation into these
categories. This move forms part of a general debate about the definitions
and limits of ‘electronic’, ‘digital’, or ‘media’ art, and we hope that
opening up the terrain of the competition will help to re-evaluate the
connection between art and media technologies.

We invite the submission of works and projects that respond to this
challenge. We remain interested in works that expand our understanding of
interactivity, of digital image aesthetics, of narrative and, in
particular, the cultural significance of software and computer programming
as cultural techniques. However, we are also curious to see the submission
of works outside of these areas, works that encourage us to reconsider the
traditional boundaries defining artistic practice, and works which can make
a strong argument for the crucial role that new technologies should play in
our perception and projection of a contemporary global culture.

Call for Submissions – Video Dictionary
Deadline: 16 October

VideoDictionary is a project about language and moving images. It is a new
venture of TheVideoArtFoundation after the development and presentation of
25hrs in Barcelona. The aim of the VideoDictionary is to make a collection
of videos of less than one minute of duration that define different words of
the dictionary. It will reflect about the relationship of objects and words,
and the capability of moving images to construct meaning. The videos are
made by a wide variety of video artists from different countries and
language speakers using video in its work. Videos should not contain words
neither on the images nor on the soundtrack, so the dictionary is available
for speakers of all languages. However, English will be the primary language
for classify and order the entries.

Call to Artists and Designers
ORLO invites artists and creative designers to offer proposals for
imaginative engagement with Ross Island as it is restored and brought back
into the city’s natural and cultural life.

All media and approaches are welcome: traditional, nontraditional,
conceptual, etc.

Proposals could be creative responses to any of the following questions:
” How could the public be brought to understand, support, and participate in
the restoration process?
” What ultimate result for the Island itself can artists envision that would
both respect the natural values, and imaginatively engage people who live
and work nearby?
” How could art or design help reveal the real although sometimes invisible
connectedness of Island, river, ecology, and people?
” How could we see the various histories inscribed here–Native American and
settler, and also natural?
” What contradictions, complications, dangers, or challenges are implied?

3. Goals, Criteria, Format, Duedate:
Orlo’s goals are three:
1) To awaken public awareness and support for the Ross Island restoration
through the proposed or actual artworks/designs.
2) To generate imaginative and possibly new ways for people to enjoy a
natural area in their midst, from any perspective or vantage (Island,
riverbanks, elsewhere).
3) To re-conceptualize and explore more deeply the human/natural
interaction, via the various discourses of gallery show, catalog, essays,
and public dialogue.

Criteria:
-The ecological integrity of Ross Island is an essential value for all work..
(Bald eagle and great blue heron nesting areas, in particular, are extremely
sensitive to human encroachment.) But this value need not rule out wildly
imagined designs.
-sites for art/design could include Island, east riverbank, west riverbank,
gallery.
-temporary or permanent okay
-any medium of art, urban design, or landscape design

Format and duedate for submissions:
-Conceptual ideas and sketches, works on paper, small-scale architectural
models
-No larger than 36 inches in any dimension.
-The artist will be responsible for shipping costs both directions.
-Must be received at ORLO by August 12, 2004. Mail or deliver to:
ORLO Ross Island Art/Ecology Design Project
PO Box 10342
2516 NW 29th
Portland, OR 97296

4. Outcomes:
” A gallery show (August 28- October 9, 2004) will present designs. These
will be either finished works, or graphic presentations of proposed designs..
” All artists/designers will receive a certificate of participation in
Orlo’s Design Project for Ross Island and a membership in Orlo.
” A symposium panel will discuss art, ecology, and restoration
” A catalog with critical essay(s) will document the show and symposium.
” Orlo’s Bear Deluxe magazine (46,000 readers) will provide the medium for
continuing discussion and (with other media) will make the announcements and
results available to a broad public.
” Longer-term outcomes: Orlo hopes that some of the proposals will be so
wonderful that a public agency or private foundation will provide funding
and support for actual installation. But we have no control over that!

(Distribute widely)
Call for works
Mobile Exposure
An international exhibition of Mobile Video
Presented by Microcinema International
Curated by Patrick Lichty
Deadline: Nov. 31, 2004
Project launch: February 2005

Even though the use of mobile phones for still photography is
Gaining more widespread acceptance, more and more cell phones, PDA’s and
handheld devices are being equipped with video capabilities. What then,
are the potentials of the handheld device as a cinematic tool for
expression & activism

To paraphrase Antin, what are the distinctive qualities of cell Phone
video, and how do the stories and images from this technological set
differ from its predecessors? Does the intimacy and mobility of the
video-enabled cell phone create a change in perspective? Does it
represent a culture of universal surveillance where there is a universal
intimacy but a complete lack of private space? How does the mobile
perspective shift our perception in the way the mediated image of the
cellular/network individual is represented? Does its low-resolution
somehow challenge the aesthetics, ‘truthfulness’, or technofetishism of
the increasingly filmic nature of video? These are some of the
questions that Mobile Exposure hopes to address.

CALL FOR WORKS

The Mobile Exposure handheld video program is an exploration of the
potentials of mobile motion imaging. Practitioners are invited to
submit all lengths of work, although the focus will be on short works
(less than 15 minutes in length).

CALL FOR ESSAYS/CRITICAL WORKS
Along with the video program Microcinema invites scholars, writers, and
curators for their comments upon the role mobile cinematography will
have in the ongoing evolution of video, as well as the cultural effects
that the handheld perspective might shift mediated culture from a
critical perspective. Over 1000 words preferred; images are also
encouraged, and text format in plain text, Rich Text Format, MS Word, or
Word Perfect 9 or less, MLA format. Essays will be considered for
inclusion in the exhibition catalogue as well as consideration for
publication in Intelligent Agent Magazine.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
A brief description of the work(s) of up to 150 words and a short
biography of up to 50 words maximum is also requested. Please submit
work in DV, VHS, Quicktime, AVI, MPG or other native format (if
available). Please keep in mind that it is our intent to try to show
these works in theatrical and mobile settings, with the theatrical
setting being the taking priority. We will try to handle all format
conversion, but any assistance on the part of the artist (multiple
formats) is helpful.

Still .jpeg or .gif (PC formatted) should be included on a CD.

Please mail all submissions to:
Mobile Exposure
c/o Microcinema International
1530 Sul Ross 1

Call for Papers
New Media Caucus Open Session Panel
at the 93rd Annual Conference of the College Art Association
Atlanta, Georgia, February 16-19, 2005.

INTERROGATING INTERFACES
Alec MacLeod and Laurie Beth Clark, chairs

Interface is the meeting place between human and computer. For this panel we wish to emphasize the notion of interface through graphics and the underlying structures through which we access and manipulate electronic media. How do interfaces structure and mediate our access to and experience of net browsers, portals & web sites, games, virtual communities, and other software applications? Designers emphasize transparency and the ÄúintuitiveÄù qualities of the interface. The implicitÄîand sometimes explicitÄîlanguage employed is highly metaphoric. Initially concepts of ÄúnavigationÄù and Äúfiles and foldersÄù pointed to familiar (to some people) Äúreal worldÄù references. Increasingly, there are emerging conventions for the interface which make use of now familiar, though arbitrary, symbolic iconography. In talking with designers and reading about interface design, we detect or imagine a longing for a universal visual language. That said, almost everyone seems to !
concede that verbal descriptions are necessary to make an interface usable. While icons may become conventional signs, there is no way to make one that is likely to evoke a widely shared intuitive comprehension on first sight.

This panel will provide a much needed opportunity to interrogate the desire for and feasibility of transparency, universality, and the intuitive nature of interfaces, acknowledging the ways in which the designs of interfaces encode narrow and dominant modes of thought. An underlying issue is the role of the tools that create the interfaces.

We encourage presentations that reveal the implicit assumptions that seem to make an interface transparent and intuitive. A discussion of possible tools and methods for deconstructing the cultural assumptions in interface design would be one approach. Alternatively, inquiry into the metaphors used in different interface conventions and designs might be a direction to go. We would like to see the panel include those who are actually involved in making interfaces not just deconstructing them.

Questions to raise on this panel include:

Ä Does the ubiquitous use of western perspectival representation reinscribe the problematics of the gaze?
Ä What are the dominant and emerging metaphors and in what histories are they embedded?
Ä What are the aesthetics and politics of normalized interface experiences such as those users have while reading email or generating documents using commercial operating systems and software?
Ä How much of what gets created is the product of the logic of the team that designed the software that even high end designers use to create the interfaces?
Ä To what extent does the nature of the code which is used determine the bias and premise of these visual products?
Ä How do the logics used by design applications dictate linearity and menu orientation?
Ä What different issues result from the extensive use of hyperlinks?
Ä Has the wide dissemination of computer interface iconography initiated a true disjunct between earlier studies of iconographic systems such as those from the visual arts? How might it be read as in a continuum with these?

Please submit proposals to lbclark@education.wisc.edu and amacleod@ciis.edu by August 1, 2004.

October Surprise

This is our city, lets live in it!

Open Call for Artists, Activists, Social Interventionists, Architects,
Gardeners, Solar Engineers, and others for site-specific projects in
Northeast Los Angeles to celebrate our neighborhoods and strengthen
creative, grassroots power

-East of the LA River and stretching up along Figueroa and the Arroyo
Seco, Highland Park is girdled by Mount Washington, Montecito
Heights, Glassel Park and Eagle Rock. Highland Park is but one town
among many that we could all call home.

Global Capitalism asks us to ignore the unique histories, experiences
and knowledge that each spot of earth provides its residents. We
become global drifters – just one more consumer wearing a Hard Rock
Café T-shirt from Bangkok, Paris or Disneyland.

In response, October Surprise calls for site-specific installations and
interventions that make THIS place our home. We are calling for work
that reveals and celebrates the past, present and possible futures of
Northeast LA.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What:
- October Surprise will converge artists, activists and the community to
celebrate our neighborhoods and strengthen creative, grassroots
power, using site-specific installations, interventions, art, monuments,
performance, and other events.

- Projects will be situated throughout the neighborhood.

Where:
-We are calling for projects throughout Northeast LA along the
boulevards and arroyos; in the public spaces, community places and
private homes.

-The Arroyo Arts Collective at 135 N. Ave. 50 in Highland Park will serve
as a convergence, or meeting space, where participants can present
and discuss their work. Additionally, we are interested in hosting
pertinent lectures. And though the gallery space can be used to
present documentation of projects and ideas, we are specifically
looking for site-specific projects throughout the neighborhood.

When:
-Projects will occur on the long weekend of October 8, 9, and 10, 2004.
Documentation of the events will remain in the gallery through October
into the first week of November and Election Day.
(Ongoing projects are encouraged to participate.)

Why:
-We hope to help reveal a city to itself and energize its communities.
One month before the election, we are organizing this event to show
where democracy really lives–in our neighborhoods, streets and
homes. Now is as good a time as any to strengthen political and
cultural discussions where it really counts- at the grassroots.

How:
-Send us a proposal by August 1st. This is a non-juried exhibition but
we would like to have a basic participants list for organizational
purposes (including for fundraising, publicity, and for a possible
catalogue).
(Note: Having your proposal by August 1st will help us help you realize
your project)

-We don?t need a fancy resume, just articulate some of your ideas and
tell us how you connect to this place called Northeast LA.
.
-Contact us with questions and proposals:
opencall@theoctobersurprise.org
Call (323) 449-9019 (323) 227-5861
Mail proposals to: October Surprise, c/o Flor y Canto, 3706 N. Figueroa
Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90065
Or stop by Friday nights at Flor Y Canto and ask for Jennifer.
Check out our website at www.theoctobersurprise.org

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Questions to get you thinking:
-What memories of the neighborhood inform the way you live there
today?
-What are the neighborhood?s specific histories and geographies?
-What was it like to party at Flat Tops, to cruise Arroyo Seco Park?
Where can teens hang out now?
-Where locally must racism and classism be addressed? What
specifically can be done to reduce racial and class-based injustice and
tension?
-How can the diverse populations of the area find an equitable
common ground? Where have they found common ground in the past?
-Who and what are the political forces that make real change in our
community?
-How can we make the power-holders more accountable to all of the
neighborhood?s long-term interests?
-Will a Food 4 Less and a Trader Joes ever exist on the same block?
How about a locally owned store that sells inexpensive healthy food?
-The new Gold Line brings alternative transportation and more
gentrification; what does this all mean?
-What ways can we better live close to this beautiful land- should the
hilltops be lined with windmills generating electricity? Could the
hillside neighborhoods support orchards to feed the city?
-How can we strengthen the local economy to enrich the grass roots?
-What fun, beautiful, exciting things can you and your friends make
happen here?

-As we barrel toward an ugly national election with frightening
implications for our country, it?s time to also ask questions about our
immediate community and figure out how to at least make this small
patch of earth better for all. Projects should speak to an audience that
is as diverse as the neighborhood. Take the dare. Find the language.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Northeast LA:
Northeast LA:
October Surprise unfolds in a neighborhood that has a long history of
art, politics, and cultural activism. This area once was the home of the
indigenous Tongva, old west outlaws, old time Hollywood elite and the
artists and intellectuals of the Arts and Crafts movement.

The area gradually morphed into a neighborhood of a mixture of
classes with all the inherent tensions that implies. Today?s residents’
live in a surprising demographic patchwork with socioeconomic
groups are scattered across the landscape. Italians, Philippinos,
Mexicans, Central Americans and others hold onto niches carved out in
LA?s oscillating real estate market and changing social attitudes.
Today, upwardly mobile newcomers from Silverlake, West Los Angeles
and elsewhere snatching the funky old houses, their tastes and
interests changing the neighborhood again.

Many residents are oblivious to the continued radical traditions of the
area. Many others are unaware of social technologies that can change
the way we all live in our towns. National consumer trends and media
driven taste tell residents that family histories and local sagas are
forgettable in the broad scope of the brave new world. New tastes have
brought in stores selling the latest necessity of Global Capitalism in
stores that threaten to replace the seemingly mundane auto body
shops and beauty parlors that line Figueroa and neighboring streets.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Background:
-October Surprise is based on an event known as the DSLR
(Department of Space and Land Reclamation) which originated in
Chicago in 1999. These events invite artists and activists to converge at
a central location and then go out into the city and create artwork about
the social issues of the city.

-October Surprise?s title refers to Ronald Reagan?s 1980 election year
duplicity. He illegally bargained covertly with the Iranian government to
postpone freeing the American hostages until after the November
Presidential election in order to reflect badly on incumbent Jimmy
Carter.

The Terpsichore Group is seeking submissions for our upcoming Summer \ Fall shows in the Abakus and Synapse event series. Please read below.

THE TERPSICHORE GROUP and ABAKUS:

EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF POSTDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND ART IN LOS ANGELES

Marshall McLuhan was a seminal figure in the history of thought about the relationship of art and technology. Among the most important ideas advanced in his work concerns the crucial role of art and artists in helping society cope with the future shock of rapid technological change:

The artist picks up the message of cultural and technological challenge decades before its transforming impact occurs. He, then, builds modelsÄfor facing the change that is at handÄ

To prevent undue wreckage in society, the artist tends now to move from the ivory tower to the control tower of societyÄthe artist is indispensable in the shaping and analysis and understanding of the life of forms, and structures created by electric technology.

- Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media [1964].

McLuhan wrote these words four decades ago, when the pace of change driven by electric technologies such as television had accelerated to a then-unprecedented rate. His ideas are of even greater significance today, as society is changing more rapidly than ever before under the impact of digital and postdigital technologies, and it is increasingly difficult for anyone to get a clear sense of where these changes are leading.

The mission of the Terpsichore Group is to explore this ever-evolving interface between the technological and the organic and to contribute to the artistic understanding of how rapid technological change is affecting society.

BEING POSTDIGITAL

Postdigital is a term that has recently emerged from the discourse of digital arts practice; we use it here because it points to our rapidly changing relationships with digital technologies and art forms.

The digital revolution is over.

– Nicholas Negroponte, being digital, 1998.

Writing in the late 1990s, Negroponte pointed to the shift from the early years of the digital revolution to a more mature stage in which digital tools for storing, manipulating, and transmitting have lost their revolutionary patina and become an accepted part of contemporary life. The underlying cut-and-paste methodology that serves as the basis for working with all kinds of information in a digital context has today become the norm for many of us living in technologically advanced societies, and the fast-paced complex editing style facilitated by digital software tools now permeates popular films, music, video games, and television programs.

In other words, digital media have become so ubiquitous as to be taken for granted by many of today’s composers and producers. What is interesting now is not digital media in themselves but rather the new horizons of artistic possibility they open up, new artistic approaches and aesthetics suggested by the cut-and-paste techniques of digital manipulation as well as the inherent flaws and defects of the digital medium itself.

THE TERPSICHORE GROUP

The Terpsichore Group is a Los Angeles-based multimedia collective founded by Sariah Storm, committed to the advancement of technologically-based music and art culture.

The mission of the Terpsichore Group is to create a space for inspiration, exchange, and the artistic exploration of the postdigital frontier.

Creating rich multisensory media environments incorporating live video, music and performance, the Terpsichore Group and its members have years of experience showcasing cutting-edge electronic culture at events in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Beijing.

With the groupÄôs recent series of ABAKUS events in Los Angeles, we have also begun incorporating a lecture component into our nightclub-style event format, with presentations from maverick thinkers on art and technology such as artist Paul Laffoley, defense technology researcher John Norseen, and plant vibration sculptor Duncan Laurie. Our objective here is to combine intellectual stimulation and education together with music, art, and the joy of dance.

The general format for the ABAKUS events has emerged from the electronic dance music culture, showcasing electronic music and video artists in a club setting. However we look to a wider purpose here and conceptualize our events as explorations of the new meanings being generated by postdigital artists as described above.

DRAIN- A journal for contemporary art and culture (www.drainmag.com)

Call for Papers – Remote Control
Issue #02

ÄòWhat your data body says about you is more real than what you say about yourself. The data body is the body by which you are judged in society, and the body which dictates your status in the world.Äô
Critical Art Ensemble

Remote Control maybe considered a defining feature of the inter-relationship between manifestations of cultural control exerted via the Internet and recent premises in the physical and conceptual parameters of experimental digital art.

This upcoming issue of DRAIN aims to question the relationship between local community action and globalization, and to consider that throughout anti-globalization protests, the Internet and cyberspace play a vital role. Furthermore, strategies for dealing with these situations through art activism and other techniques on the Internet, such as telematics, have proven critical.

DRAIN would like to invite essays and reviews that respond to the themes of globalization and protest, power and cyberspace, surveillance culture, art activism, cultural imperialism, and Äòdigital third worldsÄô.

ABOUT DRAIN – The journal seeks to promote lively and well-informed debate around theory and praxis. Each issue of Drain will have a specific concept that it explores. We are especially keen to publish pieces that connect the conceptual framework of each issue to broader themes such as globalization, ethics, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and capitalism. As such we welcome creative responses to contemporary culture, as well as written work by practitioners in the field of culture. Our primary mission is to provide an open environment where a variety of creative activities can be explored with a combination of sensitivity and rigor.

Drain is a peer-reviewed on-line journal. It is published quarterly in collaboration with the independent artist collective Aquaspace with text formatted for printing in Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Its editorial policies are the responsibility of the Editors-in-Chief and the Editorial Board.
REVIEWS CAN BE SUBMITTED ON AN ONGOING BASIS AND DO NOT HAVE TO CONFORM TO A SPCIFIC CONCEPT

Authors Guidelines
Deadline for submission: July 10th(extended!)
Launch Date:July 20th
CONTACT- avantika@drainmag.com
info@drainmag.com

All feature essays are to be no more than 4,000 words. Drain requests authors submitting feature essays for consideration, to use the footnote system and to send the document (along with a brief biographical note) as an email attachment saved as a Word file. A minimum of three images and a maximum of eight are to accompany essays unless pure theory.

Reviews are not to exceed 1,500 words. Reviews are to be sent as an email attachment saved as a Word file. A minimum of one image and a maximum of four are to accompany each review unless a book review where no image is required. Reviews can cover any art form: fine art, moving image, sound, book, or performance. Although the lead essays should address the specific theme of each issue, the reviews could be more general. It is the authorÄôs responsibility to seek copyright for images. Images are to be sent as j-peg files. All attachments are to be titled with the authorÄôs surname.

ELSEWHERE, art processes re-invent Art contexts.
(interpret THE SPLACE speaking TO ITSELF)

Dear eyes right at origin,
Elsewhere Artist Collaborative, a conceptual artists space in
Greensboro, NC, is seeking journeypeople to pursue artistic
creations and criticism in a contextually interpreted and designed
environment.

Participating in a residency-like program, Journeypeople
will be provided access to a 12,000 sq. ft. converted thrift store and
haunted mansion (stuck in a locational palindrome). Artists are expected to integrate the plethora of 70 years of thrift resources: toys, furniture, books, clothing, fabric, etc. or their experience at Elsewhere into the content (subject or object) of their work. Elsewhere artists explore traditional and emerging media and media fusion, representational possibilities, and community/communication models.
ElsewhereÄôs non-commercial space is a constantly reflexive environment where artwork becomes the medium of expression between other members of the living installation. Located in Greensboro, NCÄôs small town, historical district, the experience of southern America offers a backdrop to ElsewhereÄôs conceptual, artistic and intellectual realm, which houses a gallery, orientation center, press office, studio, kitchen, performance venue, library, closet, lounge. Artists are encouraged to redesign space and its accompaniments (objects) for a contextual artistic experiment that can be as powerful as the works created within. Elsewhere seeks writers, musicians, painters, designers, and others to make-up the living art installation piece.

Toys are people too.

Journeypeople are needed to engage projects: spatial development and construction, documentation via still and video photography, fashion design, interior design, graphic design, magazine and newspaper publishing run via the press office, archiving, research, educational programming and design, and artistic pursuits in traditional and emerging art forms. After participating in the community for a week, Journeypeople will submit proposals for independent or collaborative projects. With a project underway, you will be given free rent (some utilities are requested), inexpensive meal options with the food co-operative, access to the seemingly infinite resources, customizable space within which to work, and involvement in a community of artists all speaking to and interacting in a post-modern thematic of Americana and re-application. Journeypeople will also be involved in the larger conceptual project which includes a functioning performance venue in addition to other community i!
nterfacing programs. Gallery and performance space will also be made available to journeypeople free of cost. Work becomes property of ElsewhereÄôs concept and contextual environment for a negotiated period of time. Nothing of the space leaves the space (objects function like a number set), however possibility exists for works to become part of a national collaborative show.

Those interested in the residency program or in booking a performance or art show should contact
George Scheer and/or Stephanie Sherman at wanderingzoo@mac.com or 336.549.5555. We will respond
with a brief application to gauge interest and experience. Elsewhere, a 501(c)3 organization, is funded in part by a grant from GreensboroÄôs United Arts Council. For more information, check out

Signed, the understated.

Call for entries Electrohype 2004 – the third Nordic biennial for
computer-based art.

Deadline May 31st 2004.

Electrohype is pleased to announce this call for entries for the
exhibition that will be a follow up to two previous exhibitions
Electrohype 2000 and 2002. The upcoming exhibition will be a large
scale and broad presentation of computer based and high tech art.

The exhibition Electrohype 2004 will be held at Malmo Konsthall, one
of the most beautiful exhibition spaces for art in Scandinavia. The
exhibition will be presented for eight weeks on 1700 square meters
(13 000 square feet). This gives us a unique opportunity to compile a
spacious exhibition that gives all works and installations good
conditions.

Our goal is to present an exhibition consisting of 15 – 20 works of
art. The concept of the Electrohype biennial is that it shall be a
Nordic exhibition but this does not exclude works by artists from
outside the Nordic region. To give the exhibition a broad perspective
we are usually working with a 60/40 model, 60 percent from the Nordic
region and 40 percent from the rest of the world.

Given the opportunity to present an exhibition in this large scale in
a space that reaches a large audience (235 000 visitors annually) we
have decided to choose the theme PERSPECTIVE for this exhibition.
This means that we will not only include newly produced works but
also look for artwork that draws a historical line for a rather young
art genre.

Important dates
Deadline for this call for entries may 31st, 2004
Exhibition opening November 27th 2004
Exhibition closing January 23rd 2005

What kind of art are we looking for?
Electrohype has since the start in 1999 focused on what we choose to
call computer based art. Art that runs of computers and utilizes the
capacity of the computer to mix various media, allow interaction with
the audience, or machines interacting with each others etc. in other
words art that can not be transferred to “traditional” linear media.
This might seem as a narrow approach but we have discovered that it
gives us a better focus on a genre that in no way is narrow.

We are not looking for “straight” video art (even if it is edited on
a computer) or still images rendered on computers and other material
that refers to more “traditional” media forms. Forms were the
traditional tools have been replaced with computers and software.

Practical
An online application form and a PDF form can be found on our website:
http://www.electrohype.org/2004/entrieinfo02.html

NOTE: Please do NOT send documentation material as attachments to
e-mail and do NOT send 8 pages CVs. Put your material online and send
us the url or ftp address or send us a CD in the mail. Please read
the form and follow the guidelines. We receive a large amount of
proposals and all of them are reviewed closely. To be able to do this
we ask you to follow this structure.

Financial
We are still working on the fundraising for the exhibition. We will
hopefully have final numbers sometime during this summer. We will
have to adjust the final selection of works for exhibition according
to the financial situation. This is unfortunate but it is also
necessary, art is beautiful but financial reality is harsh.

We will encourage everyone submitting material to look for
possibilities for local funding to help cover costs for transport,
travel and rent of technical equipment.

In previous exhibitions we have managed to keep a high level both in
artistic content and exhibition design, even on a modest budget. It
is therefore very important for us to avoid unpleasant surprises, so
please keep this in mind when filling out the various posts in the
form, especially when it comes to technical requirements, transport
weight etc.

We are looking forward to see new and interesting works of art.

Best regards from the Electrohype team.

Receipt Deadline: July 30, 2003

Online and Web proposals for
Improbable Monuments
(Part of our upcoming Fall 2004 show, Monument Recall)

Monument Recall is an exhibition of work by artists who are
challenging ideas of what a ‘monument’ can be. Through scale,
material, point of view, location, subject, and concepts, work in
this exhibition challenges the conventional expectations of public
monuments in public spaces.

As part of this exhibition, we are looking for work in proposal form
only, to be exhibited online.

Submissions should include:
1. a description of your Improbable Monument
2. a visual rendering of the idea, in images, animation, digital video, etc.
3. a description of its purpose and function within the context of
improbable monument.
4. all current and pertinent contact information.

The ideas should not be restricted by materials, funds, and subject
matter or by any other practical considerations. Instead, we’re
looking for grand visions of what monuments can be without regard to
the usual constraints. We are particularly interested in how ideas
can function specifically within the cyber realm,

All submissions should be available online or in Web-ready digital
files on a CD-ROM. If the work is already online, please send the
URL. Otherwise, send the CD-ROM to the address below. Please include
an Artist Statement & Vitae, as well as a self-addressed, stamped
envelope for the return of your materials. Mail the material to:

http://www.transition-media.com

The Transition Media Gallery is an online intermedia center for art. In an age of postmodernism and new media, art disciplines have merged and blurred lines that previously existed between media (painting, sculpture, etc.). Art is in a continual transitional state. The Transition Media Gallery is a document of that change and a symbol of that change. Based in Brooklyn, Transition Media makes specific efforts to reach out first to its New York community while always remaining open to the international community.

We host sound-as-art (experimental, creative, noise, sound poetry, etc.), text-as-art (hypertext, flash text, concrete, abstract, experimental poetry, etc.), and image-as-art (painting, photography, video art, installations, new media, etc.).

The Transition Media Gallery is using internet technology for the purpose of exhibiting art. The democratization of art is a dream realized through the internet. Galleries have sprung up and multiplied in numbers never before imagined. The unrecognized artist now has a chance to show their work to a worldwide audience without the traditional gallery system. The internet gallery also gives the viewer a chance to study and explore contemporary work in ways only previously dreamed. With major sites like rhizome.org, art-mine.com, artnet.com, ubu.com, and walkerart.org, art has proven that its transition to the new technologies is successful and continues to offer yet unrealized possibilities.

CALL FOR WORK
SUBMISSIONS DUE BY: JUNE 11, 2004

We are doing a call for work for a one evening art and music event, to be
held in a location in Times Square, New York City.

What is the theme of the show?
TAGTEAM. Because theres no I in art.

We’re interested in what happens when two (or more) people from different
disciplines or different ways of working interact on a shared idea. We
want to explore how their individual methods correspond and clash,
cross-fertilize, provoke, or self-destruct, and how the working process
affects what physically comes out of that collaboration.

The collaborative art effort does not necessarily have to revere the
tagteam as magical/wonderful/larger than a single person, but were
excited by it as a different way of working, a way of letting go of your
own working methods, and as a challenge.

You could be working together in the same space or half way around the
world. Or maybe you have a piece with a collaborative element (with
another person or with the audience) within a given project. Show us
what you’ve got.

What are we looking for?
All media, all genres: prints, paintings, photography, handmade books,
sculpture, installation, video, web, performance. Do you do something
else? Surprise us. We are seeking both projects that have already been
completed, and projects that WILL be completed by early July.

We are also offering a Residency Opportunity:
Three artist teams will be selected for a 2-week residency at the space,
for the 2 weeks leading up to the event. We are offering access to space
and tools to realize your tagteam project. Pitch us a proposal of what
you could do with it.

What else do we want?
If accepted for the show, you will also produce a series of small works
to be sold at the event. It should be a series of multiples or objects
that you can cheaply and easily reproduce within a 4 week time period, to
be sold for prices between $2 and $10.

These commissioned pieces dont necessarily have to be in the same medium
as your main piece, or even have anything to do with the exhibited work,
but,
-The pieces need to be in an edition of at least 30.
-Commissioned pieces must be completed by July 10th, 2004.

Examples from past show that people really seemed to like: stuffed
animals, accordian books with digital prints, cds, pencil and ink
drawings, hand bound hardcover books, t-shirts, decorated boxes,
paintings on panel, mix tapes, silkscreened patches, sheets of stickers,
magnets.

Be creative, the more innovative it is, the more likely it is to sell.
Its really pretty open, go buck wild, and have fun.

How do you apply?
To submit work for review, please send a description of your work, and
any pertinent resume/cv/artist statement/websites or places your work
appears online IN THE BODY TEXT OF YOUR EMAIL to spitinfo@mailas.com
DO NOT SUBMIT IMAGES. Any emails with attachments will be discarded.
Once your application is successfully reviewed, we will contact you if we
need any further information and/or images.
SUBMISSIONS DUE BY: JUNE 11, 2004.

Experimenta is calling for proposals from emerging artists throughout Australia for the development of new media artworks for inclusion in our next major exhibition in 2005.

We are seeking new media art projects that explore the concept of illusions in all its forms – optical, sensory and aural. We are particularly interested in projects that not only evoke wonder, magic and mystery, but also attempt to uncover issues of social and political relevance.

Seven projects will be funded and developed in collaboration with an industry partner.

City Council of Venice_International Call to Artists

The City Council of Venice announces an international competition for the creation and realization of two works of art to be installed in the new building complex of the Law Courts of Venice. The competition represents the first phase in a large project for contemporary art in new architecture and is sponsored by the City Council of Venice, in accordance with the Italian percent for art law.

The new Venice Law Courts complex is located in the area of the ex-Tobacco Factory in Piazzale Roma, Venice, Italy. The architectural project involves restoration work, as well as the construction of completely new structures. The building complex will become the new seat of the judicial offices of Venice, presently located in various buildings throughout the city. Besides public hearing rooms, offices and various service structures for law officials and workers, the project includes various public spaces which will be open to the city.

The Venice City Council competition announcement involves the realization of two works of art, characterized by a different method of selection and by different artistic interventions. The first section is for open participation. Artists, or groups of artists, will be selected on the basis of their applications and curricula and will be responsible for elaborating a project for the entrance hall, which is the access point for the entire Law Courts building structure and located in the interior of a new building. The building’s architectural plan and construction is currently underway.

The second section of the competition is reserved for renown artists to be selected directly by the competition’s jury. The artists will be asked to intervene, in collaboration with designers and architects, in elaborating an area, which is currently in the process of being defined. The area is roughly an open square on which face the various buildings of the Law Courts complex.

The prize for participation in the open section is Euro 20,000.00, plus an additional Euro 160,000.00 to cover the costs for the realization of the work or art.
The prize for participation in the reserved section is Euro 50,000.00, plus an additional Euro 170,000.00 for the realization of the work of art.

The International Research Center for the Arts (IRCA) calls for ambitious Fellows to deploy new creations of the 21st century from Kyoto to the world.

The 20th century was an era full of confrontation, battles between states, religions and races, and one which saw unprecedented poverty, starvation, and slaughter, in contrast to the rapid and smooth progress of technology. We are still facing contradictions produced by the civilization of the 20th century in Africa, in the Middle East, in Central and South America and in Japan. In creation of peace and hope in the 21st century, the heart of art-the role of art is indispensable. The International Research Center for the Arts (IRCA) was inaugurated in order to appeal to the conscience of people all over the world and to establish a new sense of value and hope for the future traversing boundaries.

At Kyoto University of Art and Design (KUAD), where “Creation of New ” serves as the main thread of the educational programs, three internationally well-known artists, Mr. SENJU Hiroshi, Mr. MIYAJIMA Tatsuo and Mr. MORIMURA Yasumasa call for ambitious Fellows to deploy new creations of the 21st century from Kyoto to the world. This project is based on the collaboration and long cherished dream of the three artists who wish to foster the talents of those who could become leading artists on the international stage. The project became a reality due to the harmony between the strong passions of artists toward art and the principle of KUAD. The ongoing outcome of this project will constantly be released both inside and outside the university, and joint activities with KUAD students are also anticipated.

Interdisciplinary Landscape

As interdisciplinary practitionners, we are nomads, traversing the borders
and boundaries of disciplines. As we travel, we challenge the parameters of
disciplines, creating new thresholds for dialogue. We are often defined by
the boundaries we break. How do we map ourselves as a community of
interdisciplinary practitioners and citizens within the new territory we have
created?

Join artists from across New England and around the world as they explore
interdisciplinarity and contemporary art practices at the first Goddard
College Interdisciplinary Artists Conference. This conference / retreat will
allow participants to expand their core art practices through a variety of
presentations, workshops, discussions, and restorative activities.

Based on a participatory model of learning, this event seeks to actively
question the notion of expert and audience by inviting all participants to
engage in dialogue as both artists and as citizens. Participants will be
encouraged to share their unique perspective, present and discuss their own
work, and benefit from the feedback of a supportive audience of peers.

For more information about the conference, to register, or for questions,

call for submissions

FUTURE SPECIES

Exhibition curated by David Liss, director of Museum of Canadian
Contemporary Art (MOCCA)

The call for submissions and proposals at Propeller Centre for the Visual
Arts is for artworks that address the broad-based theme of the future of our
species.

Given our increasingly intimate relationship with technology, experiments
with genetic modification, and the widespread introduction of chemicals and
pharmaceuticals into the food chain, it seems apparent that our species will
need to evolve and adapt physically in order to survive.

The 20th Century imagined man/machine hybrids, cyborgs and the
extraterrestrial. For the exhibition, taking place at Propeller in October
2004, the guest curator is seeking artworks in any media that thematically
speculate upon our appearance and physical characteristics several more
links along in the Darwinian evolutionary chart of natural selection;
post-post figurative, so to speak.

The resulting exhibition is related to a cycle of research, exhibitions and
projects developed by the guest curator, exploring cultural and artistic
speculations upon the future of the human condition. The first exhibition in
this series, titled Future Species, took place at the d.u.m.b.o. arts center
in Brooklyn, New York, from June 27th to August 10th, 2003. (see
www.dumboartscenter.org)

All media are welcome and the call is open to artists at the emerging or
advanced stages of practice.

To submit please send:

5-10 labelled slides of your work (do NOT send original artwork)
List of submitted slides showing the title of the work, creation
date, dimensions and medium
CV and artist’s statement
Self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) if you want your slides
returned
Non-refundable submission fee of CAD $25. We will accept a cheque
payable to Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, cash or money order.

Submission deadline May 31, 2004.

Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts is an artist-run collective gallery
that supports vital contemporary art practices and initiatives by emerging

Utrecht, The Netherlands

Impakt foundation

Impakt Online Commissions – theme Translation

Impakt would like to show six projects by artists who use the Internet as medium as a starting point for their work (net. art).

The Impakt foundation started in 1988 by organising the Impakt Festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands. At this festival Impakt presents its audience with the newest developments in the audiovisual arts, film, video, new media and music.

Impakt Online
Since 2003 Impakt expanded their terrain with Impakt Online. Impakt Online gives artists the opportunity to realise their net.art projects. Each year, Impakt Online selects six artists and supports them in accomplishing and presenting their net.art projects. Impakt deliberately chooses projects which use specific elements of the Internet. Next to projects that exclusively exist on the Internet, Impakt Online actively looks for projects which connect the Internet to the real world and vice versa.

During the past year Impakt Online has worked with three themes which were used as a starting point for the artists. Different artists have developed projects within these themes, some of these projects include Beadgee by Tamar Schori, E-bay Longing and the Inhabitants by Marika Dermineur.

Impakt Online 2004: Translation
Impakt Online has chosen the theme: ‘Translation’ for the projects that will be realised this year. In the world of the Internet, translation is a daily practice. It can be a computertranslation from Russian to English, from one programming language to another, or a transformation of data relating to physical and tangible occurences to virtual and digital data.

The intention of Impakt Online is to research in which matter translation plays a role for artists who produce art on the Internet, or make use of its structure.

The way in which artists make use of the Internet to develop its own aesthetics and means of translation is important for the realisation of the themes. Impakt Online wants to use the term translation to investigate the use of the Internet in a critical and fundamental way.

The practical implications of translation can take different forms. A possible form can be a translation between real and virtual worlds. These are projects in which elements from the real world are being translated to a virtual environment or vice versa. Of course a translation between virtual environments, (like translation of online user input) can also be a possibility. Translation of this tangible, often quantitative data between environments can lead to new points of view.
Another form can be the translation of more qualitative data, such as transferring exisiting cultural, aestethic or social themes, into various medial online formats.

Procedure
Since Impakt runs a tight schedule, we urge artists to hand in their proposals as soon as possible. Our deadline for submission has been set on juli 1st.

Only proposals that are relevant to the theme will be taken into account. Projects that have already been publicly presented are excluded from participitation.

A proposal has to consist of the following parts:
- an abstract of the concept. (200 to 400 words)
- a summary of the technical and productional plan. (200 words max.)
- a summary of the relation between the project and the theme ‘translation’ or one of the subthemes. (200 words max.)
- information about the phase the project is in at the moment, the steps which have to be taken to finishing the project, pertaining to the current project phase, and the estimated budget that is needed to finish it.

Please note that all proposals must be in English. The final project should also be in English unless of course the use of other languages is part of the concept of the proposed project.

ARTISTS SUBPOENAED IN USA PATRIOT ACT CASE
Feds STILL unable to distinguish art from bioterrorism
Grand jury to convene June 15

HELP URGENTLY NEEDED – SEE BELOW

Three artists have been served subpoenas to appear before a federal
grand jury that will consider bioterrorism charges against a
university professor whose art involves the use of simple biology
equipment.

The subpoenas are the latest installment in a bizarre investigation
in which members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force have mistaken an
art project for a biological weapons laboratory (see end for
background). While most observers have assumed that the Task Force
would realize the absurd error of its initial investigation of Steve
Kurtz, the subpoenas indicate that the feds have instead chosen to
press their “case” against the baffled professor.

Two of the subpoenaed artists–Beatriz da Costa and Steve Barnes–are,
like Kurtz, members of the internationally-acclaimed Critical Art
Ensemble (CAE), an artists’ collective that produces artwork to
educate the public about the politics of biotechnology. They were
served the subpoenas by federal agents who tailed them to an art show
at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. The third artist,
Paul Vanouse, is, like Kurtz, an art professor at the University at
Buffalo. He has worked with CAE in the past.

The artists involved are at a loss to explain the increasingly bizarre
case. “I have no idea why they’re continuing (to investigate),” said
Beatriz da Costa, one of those subpoenaed. “It was shocking that this
investigation was ever launched. That it is continuing is positively
frightening, and shows how vulnerable the PATRIOT Act has made freedom
of speech in this country.” Da Costa is an art professor at the
University of California at Irvine.

According to the subpoenas, the FBI is seeking charges under Section
175 of the US Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which has
been expanded by the USA PATRIOT Act. As expanded, this law prohibits
the possession of “any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system”
without the justification of “prophylactic, protective, bona fide
research, or other peaceful purpose.” (See
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/175.html for the 1989 law and
http://www.ehrs.upenn.edu/protocols/patriot/sec817.html for its USA
PATRIOT Act expansion.)

Even under the expanded powers of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is difficult
to understand how anyone could view CAE’s art as anything other than a
“peaceful purpose.” The equipment seized by the FBI consisted mainly of
CAE’s most recent project, a mobile DNA extraction laboratory to test
store-bought food for possible contamination by genetically modified
grains and organisms; such equipment can be found in any university’s
basic biology lab and even in many high schools (see “Lab Tour” at
http://www.critical-art.net/biotech/free/ for more details).

The grand jury in the case is scheduled to convene June 15 in Buffalo,
New York. Here, the jury will decide whether or not to indict Steve
Kurtz on the charges brought by the FBI. A protest is being planned at
9 a.m. on June 15 outside the courthouse at 138 Delaware Ave. in
Buffalo.

HELP NEEDED

Financial donations:
The CAE Defense Fund has so far received over 200 donations in amounts
ranging from $5 to $400. This is a wonderful outpouring of sympathy,
but a drop in the bucket compared to the potential costs of the case.
To make a donation, please visit http://www.caedefensefund.org/

Letters of support:
Letters and petitions of support from biologists, artists, and others,
especially those in positions of responsibility at prominent
institutions or companies, could be very useful. See
http://www.caedefensefund.org/ for a sample letter of support.

Legal offers and letters of support:
If you are a lawyer, offers of pro bono support or offers to write
amicus briefs would be very helpful.

BACKGROUND

Early morning of May 11, Steve Kurtz awoke to find his wife, Hope,
dead of a cardiac arrest. Kurtz called 911. The police arrived and,
after stumbling across test tubes and petri dishes Kurtz was using
in a current artwork, called in the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Soon agents from the Task Force and FBI detained Kurtz, cordoned off
the entire block around his house, and later impounded Kurtz’s
computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife’s body for
further analysis. The Buffalo Health Department condemned the house as
a health risk.

Only after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had
tested samples from the home and announced there was no public safety
threat was Kurtz able to return home and recover his wife’s body. Yet
the FBI would not release the impounded materials, which included
artwork for an upcoming exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of
Contemporary Art.

While most observers assumed the Task Force would realize that its
initial investigation of Steve Kurtz was a terrible mistake, the
subpoenas indicate that the feds have instead chosen to press their
“case” against Kurtz and possibly others.

the case, please visit http://www.caedefensefund.org/

Ph.D student looking for artists working with biotechnology

I am writing my qualifying exams for my Ph.D in History of Consciousness at University of California at Santa Cruz. I am writing about artists who interpret biotechnology, either as their practice (Eduardo Kac) or as their subject (Patricia Piccinini, Lynn Randolph). I’m especially interested in work centered on lab animals and/or oncomouse (Lynn Randolph, Bryan Crockett). If this topic overlaps with your work, please contact me!

I ask two things before you contact me–first, that you have shown your work somewhere (the internet is okay–I just want my readers to be able to find you). Second, I would like a written statement about the work you’re sending that includes a brief biography or cv. If your work is online, please send me a URL, or if you have a CD, send it to the address below. Send me an e-mail before you mail anything. I’m not sure how much additional work I will include, but I will contact you before using your work. Thank you very much!

C6 releases its latest creation, the application N.E.S.T. and are looking
for users.

Free to download…join a growing community of corrupted artists.

http://c6.org/nest

N.E.S.T – Network Examination of Serendipitous Transfer.

Online ‘chinese whispers’, best describes c6′s latest work. The software is
free! When installed, it logs you in to a community deeply involved in the
act of corruption..Data corruption that is! When online the program links to
its nearest geographical neighbours to form a ring of users. As an audio
file is passed, those connected look and listen for signs of change and who
knows? Perhaps even serendipity!

The passing audio file is visualised within the conventional application
window, with statistics on cycle involvement and neighbours details
displayed below. The bottom half of the screen shows you, the state that the
file is in, its packets mapped to a rising cubic terrain in both 2D and 3D.

A world map (on the website) shows the NEST poulation rising and falling as
users log on and off. The nationalities locations and stats gives the up to
date state of international corruption.

C6 co-create with those of lesser connections. Turning the frustration,
dropped and erratic data transfer experienced, into a medium for collective
artistic involvement. Each user can snapshot their findings and add to a
growing database of weird sounds and strange terrains.

This SETI inspired art work is the first of three planned software releases
from c6 in the future. The first, NEST searches virtual space for corruption
and chaos, a far cry from its inspiration’s distributed analysis of deep
space chaos for intelligence.

Photographer Seeks Subjects

I am looking for multi-generational, multi-ethnic Queens New York residents
for portraits / interviews.

The Wild Posting Project consists of designing and hanging a series of
portrait style snipe posters with accompanying quotations from the people
that live in these Queens communities. Each subject is a representation of
the diversity of the larger Queens population. 300 posters will be hung at
25 locations throughout Queens. The portraits, which use the traditional
advertising techniques of immersion and frequency, promote the faces and
thoughts of people that are in adjacent neighborhoods and reclaims public
space for the community.

Dear friends and colleagues,

As part of the exhibition public.exe: Public Execution, curated by
Michele Thursz and Anne Ellegood, with assistant curator Defne Ayas and
guest sound curator Anthony Huberman, Turkish artist Serkan Ozkaya will
be installing a large-scale work in the windows at Exit Art, entitled
“What an Art Gallery Should Actually Look Like (Large Glass).” For this
piece, Ozkaya needs up to 20,000 35mm slides of art works and/or
exhibition installation shots.

Opening on June 12th, public.exe explores how artists are rearticulating
the definition, distribution, and reception of public art. Proposing new
possibilities for the genre of public art inspired by the uses of new
technologies and their impact on cultural production and social systems,
the works in the exhibition will exist outside the conventional white
cube gallery space.

Ozkaya’s work requires the participation of a large public! We would be
grateful if you could contribute any slides you have available to this
piece. The work will be an amazing collection of donated images that
will create a mosaic on the large windows along 36th Street at Exit Art.

Because the piece requires contributions from such a large number of
people, we will not be able to return slides. Large contributions from
anyone who is cleaning out their archives is greatly appreciated!

Please send slides to:
Exit Art
Attn: Public Execution/Big Glass
475 Tenth Avenue
New York, NY 10018

Or contact me directly to arrange to have slides picked up.

Sincerely yours,

Anne Ellegood

Dear everybody,
I am writing to initiate an unconventional residency program at my home in
Los Angeles. My interest is in project oriented collaboration, the laws of
which will be determined by the resident and myself in question upon our
first communiqué.
The framework for each project will be influenced but not limited to our
experiment, such that it shall be attentive to our quick intimacy, the
politics in sharing- monies, skills, homes, friends, resources, ideas.
conceptual consistency. the dynamic unfolds.

To the people of works,
I intend to do this for the rest of my life, but for now, I offer you the
middle of the block in Koreatown. My bright fresh house is in the east,
between many things, and not close to the ocean. As for the details. I will
offer you a bicycle that I built myself, a key to our apartment, and
probably a grandmas yellow brocade sofa (unless you are friendly or we
really like each other?) Food we will share. Facilities I will have. I do
believe the duration to be approximately a week, which is negotiable
depending on our project.

A little about myself. I like Gay Power, adult diapers, dance marathons,
text, and textiles. Im a little performative, write small quandaries, make
a collaborative queer feminist art journal called LTTR.

I will take our picture.
I encourage strangers to apply.
Please send me information about yourself (stories, videos, pictures,
poems).
Examples of your work, intellectual commitments, and experience with arts.
And your reasons for wanting to come (be honest).
I look forward to it.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ARTISTS AND RESEARCHERS

Deadline: May 14th, 2004

The New Forms Festival is an annual event highlighting emerging forms at the
junction of art, culture and technology. It includes performances,
panel discussions, workshops, and interactive exhibits on contemporary
Media Arts issues. The NFF environment encourages new forms of Media Art to
be created, experienced, and understood. NFF04 will be held in Vancouver,
BC, from October 14 to 28, 2004. The theme is TECHNOGRAPHY: the inscription
of culture in technology.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY is a forum to explore and embody these inscriptions in
the form of artistic expression and discourse.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY looks at the ways in which cultures inhabit and
transform media spaces and technologies.

NFF04:TECHNOGRAPHY will bring together practitioners and theorists from
across grassroots, gallery academy and academic contexts and
provide a platform for conversations among the diverse voices of
contemporary digital regionalism.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY programming incorporates the principles found within an
ecological model of the cultural sphere: complexity, variety and
balance. Like nature, culture is also a changing phenomenon, affected by
the ways in which technology inhabits the environment and relates to it.

Call for proposals for projects, presentations and performances
Proposals are invited for four areas of the festival: the Conference, the
Exhibition (digital art, performance, installation, immersive environments,
Net.Art), Performance Series (sound art, performance art, live film/AV) and
Late Night Events (music, visuals, post-digital, laptop, group performance,
screenings).

Gallery Exhibition/Events/Workshops
This year the Exhibition (Gallery and Net Art), Performance Series, and Late
Night Events will present a range of works that embody and interpret the
theme of TECHNOGRAPHY as defined above.
For more details, see

Conference
The NFF04 Conference, Old And New Forms , negotiates new global parameters
for contemporary media culture, as it charts a post-traditional
åtechnography of world Media Arts. The post-traditional is what remains of
modernism and postmodernism when modernization is abandoned as an unfinished
and unachievable project. While the post-traditional view is clearly
meaningful in the post-colonial and developing spheres, Old And New Forms
posits that it is equally germane to the global post-industrial scenario as
a whole.
For more details, see

Artists, speakers and media artwork selected for The New Forms Festival
should manifest multiple themes, mediums, and modes of expression, exploring
a distinct genre.

sub-categories:

Ä Acoustic ecology

Ä Technology and the natural environment
Ä Telematic Performance
Ä Wireless and wearable computing

artworks, created for the festival.

The festival encourages artworks that are process-oriented, continually
evolving and in transformation, which are facilitated through technological
and ideological means.
