Please forward this to any individuals or mailing lists that you feel it would be of interest to. Call for Entries: - --------------------------------------------------------- 7th festival garage in August 2003 in Stralsund / Germany - --------------------------------------------------------- n o c o n c e p t - a description of conditions - --------------------------------------------------------- Everything is possible, everything is open, everything can be done, nothing is clearly defined. With the apparently permanent expansion of the individual room for action different modes of behaviour develop in dealing with the existing social and cultural structures. Pragmatism on one side, purposeful acting, reduced to the necessary and practically useful, a striving for order and security. Inability to act on the other side, resulting from a growing feeling of blurredness, of insecurity and disorientation. Social vacuum? Malfunction of the system? "...instability as the normal state?" Trial and Error as the future strategy? Insecurity as a creative force, accident as a generative mechanism? What is normality, what is defined as normal? garage 03 is searching for artists' positions, comments and strategies on the topic insecurity and disorientation. Send us your proposals for presentations, installations, performances, projects, papers, and workshops. It is possible to submit already realised projects or concepts for projects, which are to be developed for the festival topic and/or to be realised during the festival.

Festival garage im August 2003 in Stralsund - --------------------------------------------------------- n o c o n c e p t - eine Zustandsbeschreibung - --------------------------------------------------------- Alles ist moeglich, alles ist offen, alles ist machbar - nichts ist klar definiert. Mit der scheinbar permanenten Erweiterung des individuellen Handlungsspielraums entwickeln sich verschiedene Verhaltensweisen im Umgang mit den existierenden sozialen und kulturellen Strukturen. Pragmatismus auf der einen Seite, zweckbestimmtes Handeln, auf das Notwendige und praktisch Nuetzliche reduziert, ein Streben nach Ordnung und Sicherheit. Handlungsunfaehigkeit auf der andern Seite durch ein zunehmendes Gefuehl der Unschaerfe, der Unsicherheit und Orientierungslosigkeit. Gesellschaftlicher Unterdruck? Fehler im System? Instabilitaet als Normalzustand? Trial and Error als Strategie der Zukunft? Unsicherheit als kreative Kraft, Zufall als generativer Mechanismus? Was ist Normalitaet, was wird als normal definiert? garage 03 sucht nach kuenstlerischen Positionen, Kommentaren und Handlungsstrategien zum Thema Unsicherheit/Orientierungslosigkeit.

Centro Cultural Conde Duque Caja Suiza, Patio CCCD y MediaLabMadrid C/Conde Duque, 9 28015 Madrid Con el título de MediaSpace Suiza se presenta en Madrid por primera vez un representativo programa del arte electrónico suizo actual. Esta muestra sobre el espacio mediático suizo explora sus dimensiones geográficas, arquitectónicas, mediáticas y artísticas. Se encuentra ubicada, además, en el espacio de la Caja Suiza, resultado de un concurso al que fueron invitados cinco estudios de arquitectura de jóvenes artistas suizos. El proyecto realizado es el del estudio BÉBOUX-BENDER ARCHITECTS, LAUSSANNE. Se trata de un pabellón que representará a la arquitectura contemporánea de Suiza, país invitado en Arco ’03, hasta Noviembre 2003. Entre el paisaje tópico y virtual planteado por Monika Studer y Christoph van den Berg, las arquitecturas digitales e interactivas de Kai Strehlke o el matriz ficticio y urbano del colectivo grrr..., MediaSpace Suiza ofrece algunas de las propuestas más innovadoras de la cultura digital de un país que cuenta con una de las tasas más altas de ordenador por persona en el mundo. Con el objetivo de propiciar el diálogo entre el arte electrónico suizo y español, la muestra invita además a un encuentro con Annika Blunck y Rebecca Picht, directoras del Festival Internacional de Cine, Vídeo y Nuevos Medios, VIPER, de Basilea. Ambas ofrecen una introducción al arte electrónico suizo, así como a la trayectoria y perspectiva del Festival VIPER, para conocer más de cerca las singularidades del espacio mediático y artístico de éste país alpino, tanto en su contexto local como global. Por otra parte, el arquitecto Kai Strehlke, catedrático del departamento de Arquitectura & CAAD del Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, de Zürich (ETHZ) reflexiona acerca de las nuevas relaciones y conexiones entre el espacio físico y arquitectónico, por una parte, y el espacio mediático y virtual, por otra, a través de la presentación de algunos de los proyectos más avanzadas de investigación y desarrollo, llevados acabo en el ETHZ. + Instalación telemática interactiva:Paul Sermon, The tables turned, three parts _29.01.2003-30.03.2003, MediaLabMadrid,Centro Cultural Conde Duque (Madrid) conectado a banquete_ en directo Se trata de una instalación telemática de videoconferencia en conexión simultánea entre el Palau de la Virreina de Barcelona, el ZKM de Karslruhe y MedialabMadrid, que forma parte del proyecto Banquete_ , coproducido por los centros mencionados. www.banquete.org ___________________________________ Kepa Landa Coordinador MediaLab Madrid www.medialabmadrid.org www.cibervision.org T: (34) 91 559 85 21 Centro Cultural Conde Duque.

Where are the chances and dangers of this development? http://www.medienkunstpreis.de One impact of global medias on culture and economy, on politics and society is the progressive substitution of the mechanisms of the social construction of reality by the mechanisms of the media construction of reality.

Individual and collective memory data represent a new material culture in which the value of the original is determined not by its aura but by its worldwide availability. The duration of this culture is characterised by the fragility of storage hardware, its dependence on energy, the continuous transferral of data onto new hardware and the necessary adaptation to new technical norms. The projects being presented in the lothringer13/halle as part of the exhibition “the chrono-files” are devoted to questions surrounding the temporary nature of stored data, its material features and the potential of a digital archive comprising all formats: texts, language, images, films, music and useable data all being digitally stored. Whilst film or video contain chemically or magnetically fixed information that is selected using a prescribed technique, in the computer-based arts it is the programmes written by the artists themselves that determine which images and sounds are rendered from this data in real-time. Events of the present, whether at the same place or on the Net, are variables of algorithms that influence the shape of the artwork. In “switch enlightment” Jörg Auzinger (Austria) reflects the confrontations of traditional media storage (such as books) with electronic forms of communication. “./logicaland” is a socio-political online game developed by Michael Aschauer, Maia Gusberti, Sepp Deinhofer and Nik Thoenen (Austria) that examines the access to the Net and consequently to the global digital archive. Peter Cornwell (GB) designed “MetaPlex”, the vision of a “museum without walls" (McLuhan) of the present, enabling three-dimensional access to video films from diverse archives (ICA, ZKM, lothringer13/spiegel). Anja Krautgasser (Austria) uses <IP-III> to demonstrate the synthetic transformation of data used on the Net into three-dimensional architecture and sound (music: Dieter Kovacic). infossil (Germany) describes the principle of energy and information. The robot by Niki Passath (Austria) generates images from the Internet before then tattooing them onto human skin. As part of “unmovie.org” Axel Heide, Onesandzeros, Philip Pocock and Gregor Stehle (Germany/France) passed a databank of anonymous films on to ‘programmed’ agents whose online discussions influence the film selection through key-words. Via a WirelessLan the visitors are enabled to use laptops situated throughout the whole area of lothringer13 to merely observe or even influence the agents’ discussions, which in turn influences the video stream. The co-operation with “unmovie.org” is the beginning of the long-term art infrastructure project artchalking.org, sponsored by [m]Medienforum Muenchen e.V. The exhibition was organised in co-operation with the University of Applied Art in Vienna and artchalking, [m]Medienforum Muenchen e.V., Press- and Information Office City of Munich (www.muenchen.de) and is sponsored by M” net – Telekommunikation für München und Bayern and Street Vision Ltd., London.

Following on from the sell-out success of Metapod Festival 2001, the festival in 2003 focuses on the fusion of Old and New Media. Metapod Festival will take place in Birmingham and provide a base for visitors to experience the BitParts commissions in the wider region. Metapod Festival includes new commissions from a number of artists including: Herwig Weiser’s Intimator at the Shopfront, The Greenhouse, Custard Factory, 28 February - 15 March. The Intimator draws our attention to the hidden body of computer technology: the precious metals that are contained in the monitors and circuit boards and the heavy, oily, ferrous fluid that flows through every computer. Weiser uses these ingredients and alchemically transforms them into a dynamic, kinetic sound sculpture. Lewis Paul will be combining his interest in film and digital techniques through his piece on BMX bikers from Birmingham. Shown as projected film works, Flatlanders engages the talent and personalities of BMX and bike culture in Birmingham’s centre and surrounding landscapes, Custard Factory Gallery, 28 February - 3 March. London based James Coupe and Hedley Roberts will develop their work I, Robot (Phase 2) inviting visitors to convince four ‘intelligent’ robots in need of parents that they are a suitable father or mother. I, Robot (Phase 2) runs from 28 February - 3 March at the Custard Factory Gallery. Regional artists Funding Pending will be recycling 30 years of videos from Vivid’s archive with their new piece Dead Media. Passers-by will be enticed inside an occupied shop front where they will encounter an environment reminiscent of an episode of the X-Files set in an obsolete branch of Dixon’s. Showing at Cathedral Square, Birmingham, 1 - 8 March Group 7 present Internet Exploder a browsing environment that offers a more tangible experience of cyberspace than the ‘flat glass’ browsing sessions we are used to – a projected interactive installation looking at the role of the browser in contemporary communication. Internet Exploder is showing at the Custard Factory Reception, 28 February- 3 March. Darryl Georgiou’s T(oy)ime Machine is a very ‘Old’ piece of ‘New’ media. A curious mix of memories and memorabilia in which TV characters are brought to life through a combination of multi-sensory sounds, objects, voices and theme tunes of yesteryear. It takes those who play with it to a world where magic still happens. T(oy)ime Machine can be seen at the Custard Factory Gallery, 28 February- 3 March. Music performances and DJ sets will be provided by artists and promoters including Brian Duffy and Kaffe Mathews, Capsule, Cold Rice and Home Cookin’. Alongside these highly inventive and visually exciting installations and performances will be a series of workshops and seminar programmes. In particular, the festival will work with the Young People’s Parliament and University of the First Age at Millennium Point to provide a real platform for young people to contribute and comment on their experiences and future hopes in new media production. FACT and Metapod present England Streaming 2 showcasing the potential for community and interactive broadcast in the region. There will also be Opportunities Day: a seminar providing an opportunity to find out about funding programmes, industrial contacts and networking groups in the region. This festival marks an exciting new phase for Metapod as it prepares to relocate to new offices at c-PLEX in West Bromwich. Founded in 1999 with Light House Wolverhampton, Metapod seeks to further develop its commitment to emergent artists and practice through the provision of the annual festival and a series of initiatives and networks for advocacy and facilitation for artists. This work will be developed and expanded through a range of partners and collaborators such such as c-Plex, Vivid, Capsule and FACT. Metapod also coincides with Bitparts, a series of seven newly commissioned digital arts projects by leading British and international artists, showing throughout the West Midlands, February - April 2003.

Featuring special guests Jai (Ja-ee) Cha & Eriko Tamura! http://www.restlessculture.net/conductor - ------------------ Saturday February 8th, 2003, 10PM Collective Unconscious, 145 Ludlow Street, NYC - 212.254.5277 $5.00 Admission at the door - ------------------ Conductor Number Seventeen is Cary Peppermint's latest version in a continuing series of multi-media performances first conceived by the artist for "PORT", a pioneering exhibition of new media technologies and online strategies initiated by Artnetweb at the MIT List Visual Arts Center in January of 1997. Peppermint's Conductor performances deal directly and brazenly with issues of mediation by incorporating live video/surveillance technology that requires viewers to observe in simultaneity the actual performance event and the real-time (live) approximation of that event. In Conductor performances Peppermint engages multiple technologies to deliver his own discourse of spoken language and techno-music that he terms "Technolectures." Through both high & low-tech devices including halogen work-lamps, laptop computers, and even a ukulele, Peppermint questions the effectiveness and potential of the "live" performer. Past performances have included varied performance-art "jam-sessions" including Peppermint conducting his techno-lectures from the confines of a pine-box for Conductors Number One and Nine and sealing himself off completely in an 14 by 14 room for "Conductor number Zero." "With regard to CN17, I like to consider the invention of the phonograph and its early alternate label of 'ghost-box.' The 'ghost-box' produced voices from people who did not exist... at least in physical presence. To reproduce the 'live' event is to be involved with the work of the 'dead', the very act of (media) entombment.² - Cary Peppermint 2002 - -------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 19:35:29 -0600 From: <bazooka@mail.utexas.edu> Subject: Open call for participation...prints, politics and Boston Passing this on, bazooka _________ Delivered-To: bazooka@MAIL.UTEXAS.EDU Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2003 10:17:59 -0500 From: William Fisher <wwfisher@alltel.net> Subject: Open call for participation...prints, politics and Boston Dear Folks, All are invited to participate in an international collaborative project taking place during the 2003 SGC conference in Boston, April 2-5 (<http://www.sgcprintconference2003.org/>http://www.sgcprintconference2003.org/).

If other modes of electronic replication and communication (a scanner, digital camera e.g.) are available, they are welcome. The proposal involves the use of remote hubs around the world with individuals transferring information among this hub network using the available technology. We will staff a 24-hour hub in Boston using incoming text and imagery in a conglomorate fashion to make silkscreen prints, transfers, etc. which will then be scanned or digitally photographed and sent back out through the network. We hope to raise thoughts on the decentrilization of information, democracy, entitlement, empowerment through communication, and the distribution of authorship. If you have ideas on hub participants (hubbers? hubbies? huboteurs?) in your homeland/hometown/home or far from home, please let us know. Students, staff, administrators, friends, family and strangers are all invited, and if you would like to participate as a solo hub member by faxing/emailing information during the conference dates, that would be very welcome as well. Please see the proposed themes*** mentioned in the Call for Proposals below. These would be the suggested themes for our hub-station participants around the world, and may be interpreted loosely. In most cases, the word "print" may be omitted from these proposed themes to expand on their meanings and to encourage your participation. I know your input would add greatly to this project, and whether it be a few minutes to send an email or several longer periods throughout the 24 hours, any participation at all is more than welcome. Please feel free to publicly post this information, and contact Bill Fisher with any questions at wwfisher@alltel.net. Anyone interested will receive specific details on the project and periodic updates.

Boston is known worldwide as the seat of the American Revolution and the struggle for freedom and representation in the American States. The theme of revolution suggests new models for the future and sociopolitical change. Representation involves communication, empowerment, and the transfer of information. The scope of these concepts now extends beyond the US to the international community. We invite you to present proposals treating the themes of Revolution and Representation broadly. Some considerations: ***Proposed Themes >* the ongoing involvement of the print in issues of social justice worldwide >* contemporary use of the print as political expression >* revolution in the print idiom caused by new technologies >* the representation of remote constituencies >* how electronic representation conditions the making or communication of images >* sociological or structural changes in the print community resulting from electronic representation >* ways in which new or expanded histories are created, and the alteration of historical perception >* questions of geopolitical division and production in the laser-print era >* the new history of multi-media and installation ...the changing functions of space and image issues of representation in education We welcome proposals for panels, presentations, exchange portfolios, interactive studio collaborations including cross- media and exhibitions that address or present an aspect of revolution or representation. Proposals should be at least one page in length. *************************** Proposal to the Conference Hosts Deborah Cornell Printmaking Department/School of Visual Art College of Fine Arts, Boston University 855 Commonwealth Avenue Boston MA 02215 Dear Deborah Cornell, The Arts Faculty of Georgia College & State University would like to submit the following proposal for the 2003 Southern Graphics Council Conference: Re-Present: An international interactive studio collaboration “Communicative action can be understood as a circular process in which the actor is two things in one: an initiator, who masters situations through actions for which he is accountable, and a product of the transitions surrounding him, of groups whose cohesion is based on solidarity to which he belongs, and of processes of socialization in which he is reared.”-- Jurgen Habermas “Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- Paulo Freire "There is no mystery to making history." -- Linton Kwesi Johnson Since 9/11 there has been a pall in regards to creating a critical dialogue engaging free speech vs. homeland security. The media has assumed the role of public relations officer simply reflecting and reiterating our national foreign policy instead of fostering discourse. Any hint of criticism is nearly considered sedition. This proposal is meant to illustrate a process of redefining and a potential shifting of "traditional" avenues of information. We propose to use readily available technology to re-channel the direction of information from mega-corporate centralized mediated information capitols to a decentralized community-based series of networks. Our goals are to process and reprocess information as individuals that are members of separate communities and yet bound by technology, to democratize and amplify individual voices cross-culturally and globally. We have invited various artists to open their homes, studios, and/or institutions to the communities to which they respectively (and respectfully) belong, allowing members of the community access to technology. They will be assisted in articulating their own story through the digital media, while we at the Boston point of the network will be using both the digital and traditional printmaking process to foster our end of the dialogue. During a 24-hour period between April 2 and April 5, 2003, an international network will be created for the electronic exchange of text and imagery. Through the use of email, fax or other communicative devices, this free transmission and reception of information will be put in motion by groups or individuals operating as hubs located around the planet. One such station will be in place in Boston at the 2003 Southern Graphics Council Conference. There we will receive, manipulate, combine, process and reproduce through traditional print media any incoming data. These serigraphs, monoprints, linocuts, transfers etc. will be digitized and transmitted back through the network for further manipulations and exchanges among hub members and their communities. In order to address the issues of entitlement, empowerment, privilege and the elitism of our tradition, all hub participants are asked to enlist members of their local community to participate in this exchange. Most welcome is the inclusion of those silenced or marginalized by lack of access to technology, individuals not considered to be artists (or to be“creative”) by others or themselves, and those who may not have realized their ability to effect cultural change or augmentation. In collaboration with GC&SU faculty and students, the Boston hub will involve random conference attendees in the development and creation of the hand-pulled prints, of which they may then take physical ownership. Through this project we deny geopolitical divisions and promote a decentrilized and democratic experience in which leadership and responsibility rest with each participant, all freely sharing in the control, outcome and ownership of the media. Presently we have received enthusiastic responses for participation from Indonesia, China, Canada, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Brazil and several US locations. We will continue to solicit involvement especially from countries typically seen or portrayed as “unfriendly” with regard to US interests, Cuba and North Korea e.g. To encourage involvement from the widest possible community base, participants will be asked to consider, but are not limited to the conference host’s list of proposed themes when choosing data for transmission. We believe the very act of participating in such a project is a political act, and we hope through the nature of this proposed “communicative action” to be exemplary of many of the conference themes, including: The contemporary use of the print as political expression. Revolution in the print idiom caused by new technologies. The representation of remote constituencies. How electronic representation conditions the making or communication of images. The new history of multi-media and installation; the changing functions of space and image. Facilities needed at the conference site for 24 continuous hours: * Internet/email access * Fax machine(s) * Print studio access Respectfully submitted by William Fisher, Richard Lou, and members of the GC&SU Fine Arts Faculty.
