mapwriter — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:59:17 -0400

We are looking for creative, challenging, and original work that incorporates the current topic of the open call for submissions. Ideally, journal submissions (in any genre) will be both lyrical and analytic, exploring universal concepts related to the geometry and architecture of Nature. The journal encourages hybrid thinking and writing that reaches readers across multiple disciplines. Please read some of the articles on this website for a general overview. Submissions on the topic of "field axioms" will be reviewed for the Fall 2013 issue of the online publication journal:theanalyticpoem.

the analytic poem

mapwriter — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:49:50 -0400

theanalyticpoem is a project that builds relationships among diverse elements of art and science to create a concept map of Nature’s geometry. This is achieved through a portal that allows participants to contribute and experience ideas, images, text, graphics, sound, and video.
Drawing upon multidisciplinary affinities, impressions from these media will create an ever-expanding platform of connected ideas. In effect, the network samples a variety of phenomena through geometry – the goal is to enhance perception through a unity of formerly dissimilar aspects.

Blockbuster.pdf -- Call for Submissions

peter.nowogrodzki — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:09:39 -0400

We find ourselves unable to turn our attention away from James Cameron on the ocean floor, tweeting “Hitting bottom never felt so good”; or The Hobbit on New Zealand Airlines flights; or Roger Ebert’s death atop headlines; or Tilda Swinton in MoMa, and Kubrick at LA County Museum of Art, and Herzog in the Whitney. The BLOCKBUSTER experience is crowd-sourcing, and everyday life is, more transparently, an act of audience.

The BLOCKBUSTER, therefore, will be the theme for the fifth issue of INCITE. The experimental space, we think—whether a cinema or surf club, or even an individual’s mental awareness—invites a distance from more habitual roles of paying attention... and we are seeking contributions relevant to any experiences of the big budget movie landscape and its diversity.

tascencao — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:15:13 -0400

There's room for one more artist!...

LUMINOUS BODIES
Thematic Art Residency
Facilitator, Teresa Ascencao
http://luminousbodies.com/

Program Dates: July 10 – 23, 2013
Cost: $925 (includes tax)
Includes: private accommodation, large shared studio, workshop facilitation
Submission Deadline: July 1

Online application form: http://www.torontoartscape.org/residencies/booking-your-stay

Luminous bodies is a two-week thematic residency to create artworks that shed new light on the human body. Its objective is to challenge “normativity” and "otherness.” Its goal is to reinvent and re-present the body in most inclusive and diverse ways. Audio-visual screenings, readings, seminars, outdoor retreats, workshops and exercises uncover how our bodies are culturally and aesthetically constructed, displayed and controlled. Cinema, artworks, philosophy, theology, transpersonal psychology, post-colonialism and social movements are explored for ideas in transgressing these forces. Residents work individually or collaboratively to create artworks that reinvent the body through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, performance art, new media etc. Critiques of residents’ work in progress occur on a regular basis. Gibraltar Point offers rich potential for the creation of corporeal artworks amongst its blue-flag beaches (one of them being clothing optional) and natural surroundings of Lake Ontario, forests and gardens filled with flowers, fruit and vegetables. On the island, there are tiny quaint homes, a hobby farm and antique carnival grounds. The Toronto city core is just a 15-minute ferry ride away! The essence of Luminous Bodies is about bringing to light heterogeneous bodies. It welcomes people in all walks of life and genders into a creative journey of critical innovation and self-discovery.

Teresa Ascencao is a media artist whose work deals with gender and sexuality constructs through unique cultural perspectives and technological approaches. Ascencao was born to Azorean parents in Sao Paulo, Brazil and immigrated to Canada at a young age. She graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto's Honours Fine Art Studio program, and received her MFA from OCADU University specializing in Media Art and Sex-Positive Feminism. Her work has been exhibited widely in Canada and internationally. Ascencao lives and works in Toronto and teaches Experience Design and Photography at OCADU.

Luminous Bodies is limited to 10 residents. Skills guidance is available especially in photography, video editing and installation (all experience levels welcome). The cost for the two weeks is $925. Prices include private accommodation, large shared studio, workshop facilitation and taxes. Arrivals are on the 10th after 1pm and before 3pm, and departure on the 24th before 11am. Submissions are accepted until spots are filled, but May 16 is the final deadline. For more information please contact Teresa Ascencao at +1 (647) 521 2353 or teresa.ascencao@hotmail.com.

This year the circulation of smartphones outnumbered the volume of mobile phones. Most mobile devices (including tablets and pocket size digital cameras) have a HD video capacity and provide Internet connectivity. Since the proliferation of apps five years ago, new opportunities for creative mobile media production emerged. Mobile filmmaking is now an established format ranging from music video to TV commercial production. A number of contemporary apps feature location-based services that can create new experiences and representations of places. Mobile filmmaking also provides prospects for citizen journalist to expand the domain of videography. Contemporary forms of collaborative filmmaking projects connect 21st century citizens and filmmakers across the globe creating new forms of digital, networked and transmedia storytelling. As an egalitarian filmmaking tool and technology, mobile filmmaking provides access to a new generation of filmmakers. In alignment with the ubiquity of social media, mobile communication is shifting towards an increasingly visual realm. Live streaming and micro formats of mobile filmmaking can be compared to early cinema and actuality film, while mobile short films resonate approaches and practices known from the field of experimental documentary and avant-garde moving-image practices.

Processing Chicago 6/8 @ 4pm: Teaching Programming

JD Pirtle — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 17:04:12 -0400

In light of a growing worldwide push to blend programming and computational literacy into curricula in primary and secondary levels of education, we will explore the challenges and implications of incorporating programming concepts and techniques into various subjects for a range of ages/grades. The meeting will consist of two workshops and a panel discussion.

WORKSHOP ONE

Techniques for teaching Scratch, a project by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab that enables "young people to learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively." Scratch is a graphical programming language suitable for a variety of ages and abilities. Scratch introduces visually many key structures and techniques common to a broad range of programming languages and paradigms.

WORKSHOP TWO

Techniques for teaching Processing to a variety of grade levels. Although perhaps too complex for very young students, Processing provides a very forgiving development environment for the exploration of programming concepts and techniques.

PANEL DISCUSSION

Following the workshops, we will convene an informal panel of educators, technologists and artists to initiate a discussion. Panel members TBA.

Experimental Media 2013, Video Screening

WPA — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:25:43 -0400

Washington Project for the Arts announces an open call for video-based artworks to be screened at The Phillips Collection on September 12, 2013 with additional screening dates and locations to be announced. The screening series is part of Experimental Media 2013, a broader WPA program that includes the exhibition Cyber In Securities at Pepco Edison Place Gallery and a series of discussions bringing together artists, technologists, and policy experts to discuss privacy, security, and surveillance.

WPA is particularly interested in works that explore and examine privacy and surveillance in contemporary society, from satellite surveillance down to patents on human genes, from government watch lists to exhibitionism in the age of social networking, from anonymity in Internet culture to the growth in corporate micro-targeting. As moving images play an integral role in our contemporary surveillance regimes – whether government-run, corporate, or selfinflicted - video provides an ideal medium to delve into the changing nature of privacy and surveillance in our digital age.

One artist whose work is chosen for the screening will be selected to win the Kraft Prize for New Media, a $500 cash prize.

Submission Guidelines
The call is open to all artists regardless of geographic location. Artists may submit up to three works of single-channel video, with a maximum duration of 5 minutes per video, along with a CV. The selected videos will be screened sequentially in an auditorium to a seated audience. It is recommended that artists consider the viewing context when selecting work to submit.

Videos can be submitted as links to work on file sharing websites (Vimeo, YouTube, etc) or on a personal website. Videos may be password protected and a password supplied in the submission form. The full length of each work submitted should be less than five minutes. Selected artists will be required to submit a file of the video to WPA so it may be included in the screening.

The final submission deadline is Friday, June 7, 2013 at 5pm. Work may be submitted through WPA’s website here: http://wpadc.org/em2013_video_submissionform

Artists with questions regarding the call or who prefer to submit their work via mail should contact Blair Murphy, WPA Program Director, at 202-234-7103 x 1 or bmurphy@wpadc.org.

TMP02 Call for Participation Deadline Extended to June 10

Aaron Brumbelow — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:26:28 -0400

Touch.My.Prints. ISSUE02

TMP has received amazing submissions for the second issue, Image vs. Data. I have also been sent emails asking for more time to complete some projects with the provided image. In response, I am extending the deadline to June 10th. I am so excited to share this issue with everyone. I hope a few more people can parcipate and I can not wait to begin work on TMP ISSUE02.

IMAGE vs DATA

Photography has long been concerned with data retention within the act of the photograph. Photographers are taught to expose, develop, and digitally capture in a method to maintain the most information possible. Every step in a photographer’s workflow is a careful dance to keep data. It doesn’t matter if we are talking film or digital, every photographic process is essentially the mastery of data retention. The reasoning is, having the most information available allows for the most creative interpretations of the information.

Touch.My.Prints wants to explore this concept of the photography as data as opposed to image. TMP will provide an image for every participant to take. Each participant will use the image as data and create a new piece of work. The new work can be video, sculpture, sound, video, even a drastic reinterpretation of the image, etc. A selection of the new works and their creators will be featured in Touch.My.Prints. ISSUE02.

The deadline is June 01, 2013.

INSTRUCTIONS

Save the image. Use the data the image file provides to create a new piece of work. The new work can take any form, any medium, any function, in fact, preferably so. Then send the new work to TouchMyPrints @ gmail .com following the guidelines below.

The residency is most appropriate for those artists who are seeking time for experiments and research, value the creative process and a big studio or open-air space as well as for those who love coincidences and the chance to meet artists from all over the world.

The Colony provides the necessary living and social conditions to ensure a comfortable environment for the five artists-in-residence. Each of the five residencies is set out on two floors with 65 square meters of floor space and features all the necessary facilities. The colony is situated about 600 meters away from the sand dunes, and the beach. More information on activities and facilities can be found on our website and Facebook. To get a sense of Colony life and to see A.I.R. portfolios, please check the Nida Art Colony Log.

Nida artist-in-residence programme aims to foster critical thinking, creativity, innovative ideas and processes, exchange and cooperation of artists.

Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY'

johannes grenzfurthner — Sat, 25 May 2013 06:11:10 -0400

Arse Elektronika 2013
ID/ENTITY

monochrom's festival on sex and tech and id/entities. October 3-6, 2013 in San Francisco.

Call for talks, performances, workshops, games, machines. Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2013

----------------

Sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for Arse Elektronika 2013.

Identity, but also identification. Technologies for the exploration of identities. Technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. Technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. Technologies for the verification of identities. For example: What about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for "real names"?

We typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. What is this entity? Are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? How is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? What might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? What does sexual desire mean to a dolphin?

We have technology-based identities. If we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity AND position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself?

The Bay Area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. So, how does the Californian Ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality?

Will apps like Bang With Friends and gadgets like Google Glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? And why are services like LinkedIn explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients?

What have been the social ramifications of Web 2.0, ten years on? By what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? What is the design history of the drop-down gender menu- and its alternatives? How did Facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? What has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? What are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? What are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet?

What technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? What would TSA protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? What does counter-surveillant fashion look like? How might we ensure the right not to be found? (Should we?) Are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? Are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment?

If an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the Other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? Is 'queer identity' an oxymoron?

Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the UK "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." Interesting times for sex tech? Indeed!

What about a historic dimension? What were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? What were the technologies of masked rituals? What technologies drove the invention of privacy? How did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? Besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? How was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? What is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?"

How will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? What are we without our iPhone and our beloved designer vibrator? Is the Marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism?

If orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one's sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? So, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing?

What about Big Data in a sexual context? Does size matter?

What about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's AI?

Well... dear entities out there, with your proud Egos, Super-Egos and Hyper-Egos! Never forget that there is an Id lurking round the corner! The real Voight-Kampff test is not minding that it hurts!

HERE supports multidisciplinary work that does not fit into a conventional programming agenda. Our aesthetic represents the independent, the innovative, and the experimental. HERE supports the work of artists at all stages in their careers through fully-produced works, commissions and subsidized performance and rehearsal space. In addition, HERE’s staff provides marketing, technical and administrative support. All work at HERE is curated based on the strength and uniqueness of the artist’s vision.

One of our most vital services, the SubletSeries@HERE Program, supports 250 guest independent artists and groups—such as New Georges, Vampire Cowboys, and ViBe Theater Experience (an educational arts group for underserved urban teen girls)—and their audiences each season.

This creative curated rental program has allowed many upstart companies and emerging artists to realize their full artistic vision on a small budget. The program provides subsidized performance and rehearsal space, technical assistance, and administrative support, including a fully staffed box office. SubletSeries@HERE artists can also access equipment that is not typically available in venues our size such as video projectors, wireless microphones, color scrollers—all for free or at subsidized rates. We accept applications from artists all over the world for the opportunity to show work.

Call for Participants, Piksel Remote Hacklab: Experimental Communication System Open Workshop, Venice, May 28-29th.

j33 — Thu, 23 May 2013 10:22:39 -0400

Piksel Remote Hacklab: Experimental Communication System Open Workshop,

Free 2-day workshop, Venice, May 28-29th, 12pm-late.

Recent studies have shown that the electrical resistance in soil above a buried carcass has a different resistivity to that of near by soil due to the decomposition of bodily tissue. The body leaves a “real”, quantifiable electrical trace when it is dead. Following this idea that traces of the dead can be measured via electricity it may be possible that these traces can be found elsewhere such as in the electromagnetic field.

In this workshop the construction of various electronic devices which apparently enhance the possibility of communication with spirits both audibly and visibly will be undertaken. Attempts at direct electromagnetic induction from such a vitalist earth to human brain will be made in the construction of a diy earth-brain interface, along with devices such as the Germanium Trans-Dimensional Communication Receptor (TDC) and other EMF detectors, emitters, and amplifiers.
These will then be applied to Venetian decomposing geo-bio canal soup mixes in a final experimental communication system performance.

The workshop is free. Places limited to 10.
May 28 - 29th, 12pm - late.
