We are committed to the rapid turnaround of subsequent journal submissions
in as practical a means as possible.

Manuscripts can be e-mailed to the editors at e-Media AT Dartmouth.edu, or a
CD/DVD version may be mailed to:

JOE-MS is a blind peer-reviewed, on-line journal dedicated to the
scholarly study of the history and theory of electronic media, especially
Television and New Media. It is an inter-disciplinary journal, and we
welcome submissions across the fields and methodologies that study media
and media history.

Our goal is to promote the academic study of electronic media, especially
in light of the rise of digital media and the changes in formal and
expressive capacities resulting from new configurations of electronic
media forms. We solicit the best new scholarly work on current and
historical e-media issues and topics, including work on inter-medial
relations to traditionally non-electronic media (such as cinema, theater,
and print media).

We welcome essays in traditional textual formats. We strongly encourage
submissions that utilize and develop the features that an on-line journal
can afford, in order to realize new analytical and pedagogical practices
and strategies.

Please see our website [http://journals.dartmouth.edu/joems/] for more
details about our Submissions Guidelines, list of Editorial Board members,
and Mission Statement.

-- Piksel05 - 'collective code'
-- october 16-23. 2005
-- artistic program online

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Piksel05 - festival for free / libre and open source audiovisual software
and art kicks off this weekend in Bergen, Norway.

The Piksel05 artistic program is curated by Isabelle Arvers and Gisle
Frøysland as a collaboration with pixelACHE 2006[1] in Helsinki and Mal au
Pixel 2006 in Paris. Some of the projects will be selected to be shown in
Helsinki and/or Paris.

The program is now online at: www.piksel.no/piksel05

-----

Piksel[2] is an annual event for artists and developers working with
free/libre and open source audiovisual software. Part workshop, part
festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for
Electronic Arts (BEK)[3] and involves participants from more than a dozen
countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects,
doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and
politics of open source.

The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly
controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of
technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial
demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is
focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic
control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the
close connections between art, politics, technology and economy

BREAKING THE GAME

WORKSPACE UNLIMITED, in collaboration with New York curator Wayne Ashley,
are currently organizing Breaking the Game, a series of interdisciplinary
workshops and online symposium that bring together competing theorists and
practitioners to build, debate and reflect on virtual worlds, computer
gaming, immersive technologies, and new possibilities for artistic
practice and experience. Taking place both online and offline, the
workshops will open up the art of game modification to the contingencies
of everyday life, where virtual technologies increasingly mediate physical
spaces and human movements in very complex and dynamic ways. Networked
across multiple cities, the symposium will be organized around three core
themes: "Hybridity", "Overclocking the city" and "The virtual world as
interface to self and society."

Where: Ghent, New York, Rotterdam, and the Internet
When: October, November & February 2005 - 2006

ARTISTIC APPROPRIATION IN THE AGE OF LITIGATION
IS TOPIC FOR A DAY OF ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS AND WORKSHOPS

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. ? ?Begging, Borrowing and. . . . Stealing? - Artistic
Appropriation in the Age of Litigation? is the topic of a day of
roundtable discussions and workshops to be held Nov. 8 on the Ursinus
College campus. Renowned experts in the areas of copyright and
intellectual property law; visual artists and writers; curators; and
librarians will serve as panelists for this newsworthy topic. The
conference will be held in Olin Auditorium on the Ursinus campus, and will
run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of Copyrights and
Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens
Creativity (2001), National Public Radio commentator, and Director of
Communication Studies at New York University, will open the day?s program
with a keynote address. A cultural historian and media scholar, he has
also written for American Scholar, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The
New York Times Magazine, and other publications. The Chronicle of Higher
Education called him ?one of the best-known scholars of intellectual
property and its role in contemporary culture.? His new book, The
Anarchist in the Library was released in May.
In an age given over increasingly to litigation, the conventions of
artistic appropriation are adopted with ever more risk by
practicing artists, despite the fact that these conventions are
time-honored within the histories of art, literature, music, and
film, among others. This day-long conference will explore the
complexities, ambiguities, ambivalences, and outright disagreements
that occur where art-making, law-making, and the determination of
what constitutes fair use and free expression meet in the world of
artistic and creative ?borrowing.? Pre-registration is required,
for which a nominal fee will be charged. For more information,
contact Susan Shifrin, Associate Director of Education at the
Berman Museum of Art, (610) 409-3500.
This program is supported in part through the Ursinus College Arts
& Lectures program. Exhibitions and programs at the Philip and
Muriel Berman Museum of Art are also funded in part by the
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Ursinus College, founded in 1869, is a highly selective, nationally
ranked, independent, coeducational liberal arts college, located on
a scenic, wooded, 168-acre campus, 28 miles from Center City
Philadelphia. Known for quality programs in the arts and sciences,
it is one of only 8 percent of U.S. colleges to possess a chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa.
