From: Patrick May <patrick AT rhizome.org> Date: Mar 17, 2006 Subject: Director of Technology's report, March 2006 Hello everybody! This is Patrick May, the new Director of Technology at Rhizome. During the month of February, Francis trained me on everything Re: Rhizome. He's done a great job with the site, and his truly professional handling of the transition process has allowed me to hit the ground running. Over the last month and a half, I updated these areas of Rhizome: == ArtBase Submission and Approval The ArtBase submission and approval process is almost entirely managed through email. The notification system that updated both Marisa and the artists was disrupted by the redesign process. Email can be an unreliable medium, and I'd like to make sure the submission process isn't disrupted by any future problems with email notifications. I developed internal web-based tools to help us keep track of ArtBase submissions. I am developing a web-based tool so everyone can track and manage their own ArtBase entries. When this is released, I hope that the ArtBase submission process will become more transparent and easier to navigate. == User profiles There was some confusion as to whether one had to be a member, or a user, to update one's bio, resume, and thumbnails. Since this information is accessible for users (via Artbase or RAW posts), we removed all restrictions on editing this information. == Payment Process We re-arranged the payment process to only require a billing address if one is paying by credit card on the Rhizome site. Additionally, there were "Internal Server Errors" from the credit card processing form that have been corrected. If you experience any problems with registration, please don't hesitate to email us: registration AT rhizome.org == Organizational Subscriptions I worked on our internal tools for tracking and delivering organizational subscriptions. This should lead to more reliable service to these organizations. Well, that's it for now. I hope to report on some exciting projects soon, I'll keep in touch :-) Cheers, Patrick -- Patrick May Director of Technology Rhizome.org phone: (212) 219-1288 x202 AIM: cyclochew + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 2. From: Lauren Cornell <laurencornell AT rhizome.org> Date: Mar 17, 2006 10:32 AM Subject: Rhizome Commissions deadline approaching: April 1 Hello: Just a reminder that the deadline to submit proposals for Rhizome's annual cycle of commissions is coming up soon: April 1. Please submit your proposals, and help us get the word out! http://www.rhizome.org/commissions/ Thanks, Lauren Rhizome Commissions 2006-07 Call for Proposals + Deadline for proposals: April 1, 2006 + Rhizome is pleased to announce that with support from the Greenwall Foundation, the Jerome Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, between eight and eleven new Internet art projects will be commissioned in 2006. The fee for each commission will range from $900 $3,000. Artists are invited to submit proposals for new works of Internet-based art. There is no required theme. The works can manifest offline, as long as the Internet is a primary vehicle in the creation of the work, and the final work is accessible online, whether through a web browser, software, or some other use of internet technologies. When evaluating proposals, the jury will consider artistic merit, technical feasibility, and online accessibility. Although we will provide some technical assistance with final integration into the Rhizome web site, artists are expected to develop projects independently and without significant technical assistance from Rhizome. + How to Submit a Proposal + The jury will only consider proposals from members of Rhizome.org. To sign up for Rhizome membership, please visit: http://rhizome.org/preferences/register.rhiz There are two parts to proposal submission: 1. You must create a proposal in the form of a web site that includes the following key elements: + Project description (500 words maximum) that discusses your project's core concept, how you will realize your project, and your project's feasibility. If you plan to work with assistants, consultants, or collaborators, their roles and (if possible) names should be included. + You are encouraged, but not required, to include a production timeline and a project budget, which should include your own fee. If you have other funding sources for your project, please indicate this in your budget. + Your resume or Curriculum Vitae. For collaborative groups, provide either a collective CV or the CV's of all participants. + Up to 5 work samples. Note: More is not necessarily better. You should include only work samples relevant to your proposal. If your proposal has nothing to do with photography, don't include images from your photography portfolio. Please provide contextualizing information (title, date, medium, perhaps a brief description) to help the jury understand what they are looking at. The work sample can take any form, as long as it is accessible via the web. When designing your web-based proposal, please note that the jury will have limited time for evaluations, so try to make your site clear and concise. When your web-based proposal is complete, you are ready for Part Two of the proposal process: 2. Submit your proposal for a Rhizome Commission via an online form at http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit/. We do not accept proposals via email, snail mail, or other means. Proposals will be accepted until 12:00AM EST (that's New York time) on Saturday, April 1, 2006. The form requires the following information: + Name of artist or collaborative group + Email address + Place of residence (city, state/province, country) + Title of the project (this can be tentative) + Brief description of project (50 words maximum) + URL of web-based proposal + Jury + Proposals will be reviewed by a jury consisting of Lauren Cornell, Executive Director of Rhizome; blogger Regine Debatty of we-make-money-not-art, net artist Olia Lialina, Professor at Merz Akademie, Stuttgart; artist and writer Eduardo Navas, also founder and contributing editor of Net Art Review and New Media Fix; and Marisa S. Olson, artist and Editor and Curator-at-Large at Rhizome. Rhizome members will also participate in the evaluation and awarding process through secure web-based forms. In this phase of evaluation, Rhizome members will be directed to the submitted web-based proposals. While this more open jurying process does mean that proposals could possibly be discussed publicly, there have been no reported conflicts or abuses of information reported. + Winners + Winners will be contacted on or after May 23rd, 2006. Each winner will be asked to sign an agreement with Rhizome.org governing the terms of the commission. Commissioned projects will be listed on the main Rhizome Commission page and included in the Rhizome ArtBase. + Questions + If you have any questions about the Rhizome Commissions, send an email to commissions AT rhizome.org. -- Lauren Cornell Executive Director, Rhizome.org New Museum of Contemporary Art 210 Eleventh Ave, NYC, NY 10001 tel. 212.219.1222 X 208 fax. 212.431.5328 ema. laurencornell AT rhizome.org + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Support Rhizome: buy a hosting plan from BroadSpire http://rhizome.org/hosting/ Reliable, robust hosting plans from $65 per year.

From: sachiko hayashi <look AT e-garde.com> Date: Mar 13, 2006 Subject: Call: Stereophonic Soundscape STEREOPHONIC SOUNDSCAPE Call for Works The Digital Art Weeks of ETH Zurich and the Stereolith Speaker System Company, Switzerland, would like to invite audio artists to submit soundscape works. Each work must be in stereo and not more than 10 minutes in length. The works will be chosen on their ability to "evoke" the presence of things or beings in space and to the extent in which the work "immerses" the listener into a completely imaginary sonic environment. Stereolith is an innovative reproduction system for the re-creation of recordings made to playback in stereo. Unlike traditional loudspeaker configurations, the Stereolith is a single construction in which both the "left" and the "right" channels have been incorporated. In this way, the system can be installed at any point within the listening space and allows the listener to experience a true stereo effect of each work from any point within the space as if it was a live event. Please submit all works in .aiff format on a CD. Please include the title of the work, a short description of it no more than 100 words)and a short biography of the author of the work (no more than 50 words). Selected works will be presented on the Stereolith Systems over a period of 4 days from the 12th to the 15th of July 2006 in the VisDome of ETH Zurich in conjunction with the exhibition Zeitschnitt which will include projected works from various artists throughout Europe. Information about each audio artist, soundscape work and the time it can be heard will be announced in the events program. Deadline: Friday, 14th April 2006. Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out on or before Friday, 5th May 2006.

From: Julian Bleecker <julian AT techkwondo.com> Date: Mar 15, 2006 Subject: Vectors Journal of Culture and Technology, Summer 2006 Fellowship Call for Proposals The University of Southern California's Institute for Multimedia Literacy is pleased to announce a third annual Fellowship program for summer 2006 to foster innovative research for its digital publishing venture, Vectors: Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular. First launched in 2005, Vectors is an international electronic journal dedicated to expanding the potentials of academic publication via emergent and transitional media. Moving well beyond the text-with-pictures format of much electronic scholarly publishing, Vectors brings together visionary scholars with cutting-edge designers and technologists to propose a thorough rethinking of the dynamic relationship of form to content in academic research, focusing on the ways technology shapes, transforms and reconfigures social and cultural relations. Vectors adheres to the highest standards of quality in a strenuously reviewed format. The journal is edited by Tara McPherson and Steve Anderson, with Creative Directors Erik Loyer and Raegan Kelly and Lead Programmer Craig Dietrich, and is guided by the collective knowledge of a prestigious international board. About the Fellowships Vectors Fellowships will be awarded to up to eight individuals or teams of collaborators in the early to mid- stages of development of a scholarly multimedia project related to the themes of Difference or Memory. Completed projects will be included in Volume 3 of the journal in 2007. Vectors features next-generation multimedia scholarship, publishing work that can only be realized in an online format. Volume Three, Issue One: Difference >From Charles Babbage's 19th century 'Difference Engine' to Derrida's 1980s neographism 'Differance,' the notion of difference has served as a provocative metaphor for thinking about language, culture, politics, technology and identity. This issue of Vectors encourages diverse examinations of the notion of difference as it plays out in a variety of cultural spheres, discourses and practices. We are interested in a broadly-conceived notion of difference, one that engages technology and culture or that might be productively examined through the format of an interactive multimedia journal. In particular, we seek proposals that foreground the cultural or political manifestations of racial, gender, national, religious, ethnic, geographic, technological or economic differences. Possible areas of investigation include but are not limited to: -historical and future conceptions of difference -rethinking otherness, multi-culturalism, convergence -technologies of difference -legacies + limits of 1990s theories and manifestations of difference -sounding out difference(s) -afro-futurism, speculative differences, future species -sameness and/or difference, the logics of both/and -rethinking identity; difference/multiplicity/fragmentation -post-Katrina, post-9/11, post-racism -post-feminist gender differences -war and ethnic/religious differences -economic disparity and cultural differences Volume Three, Issue Two: Memory Jean Luc Godard's dictum that 'only the hand that erases can write' underscores the ironic and contradictory status of memory in postmodern culture. In an age when both history and memory are routinely characterized as being at an end, it is more important than ever to closely examine the epistemological precepts and rhetorical strategies by which we engage, remember and speak about the past. This issue of Vectors explores a range of possible frameworks for thinking about memory as a phenomenon that is fundamentally entangled with the discourses of competing disciplines, political imperatives and cultural contexts. We are particularly interested in proposals that engage the eccentric, disruptive and dynamic potentials of memory as it relates to history, media, technology, and/or the sciences. Possible areas of investigation include but are not limited to: -the impact of proliferating technological and prosthetic forms of memory -scientific and medical visualization -visual memory, media and popular culture memories -memorialization, reminiscence, recall -the role of nostalgia, desire, psychology and narrative -amnesia, displacement, erasure, regeneration -the dynamic interplay of remembering and forgetting; 'creative forgetting,' 'active forgetting' -memory as practice, process and ritual -reconstruction, reenactment, rescripting and remixing of memories -counter-memory, chaos and resistance -discontinuous, fragmentary or disruptive visions of the past -individual vs. social, cultural and popular memory About the Awards All fellowship recipients will participate in a one-week residency June 19-23, 2006 at USC's Institute for Multimedia Literacy, where they will have access to state of the art production facilities. Fellows work in collaboration with world-class designers and Vectors' technical support and programming team throughout the project's development, typically during a span of 3-5 months. The residency will include colloquia and working sessions where participants will have the chance to develop project foundations and collectively engage relevant issues in scholarly multimedia. Applicants need not be proficient with new media authoring, but must demonstrate familiarity with the potentials of digital media forms. Evidence of the capacity for successful collaboration and for scholarly innovation is required. Fellowship awards will include an honorarium of $1500 for each participant or team of collaborators, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses. About the Proposals We are seeking project proposals that creatively address issues related to the themes of Difference and Memory. While the format of the journal is meant to explore innovative modes of multimedia scholarship, we are not necessarily looking for projects that are about new media. Rather, we are interested in the various ways that 'old' and 'new' technologies suggest a transformation of scholarship, art and communication practices and their relevance to everyday life in an unevenly mediated world. Applicants are encouraged to think beyond the computer screen to consider possibilities created by the proliferation of wireless technology, handheld devices, alternative exhibition venues, etc. Projects may translate existing scholarly work or be entirely conceived for new media. We are particularly interested in projects that re-imagine the role of the user and seek to reach broader publics. Work that creatively explores innovations in interactivity, cross-disciplinary collaboration, or scholarly applications for newly developing scientific or engineering technologies are also encouraged. Proposals should include the following * Title of project and a one-sentence description * A 3-5 page description of the project concept, goals and outcome. This description should address questions of audience; innovative uses of interactivity, address and form. Please also detail the project's argument and its contribution to multimedia scholarship and, more generally, to contemporary scholarship in your field. * Brief biography of each applicant, including relevant qualifications and experience for this fellowship * Full CV for each applicant * Anticipated required resources (design, technical, hardware, software, exhibition, etc.) * Projected timeline for project development * Sample media if available (CD, DVD, VHS (any standard), or NTSC Mini-DV); for electronic submissions, URLs are preferred but still images may be sent as e-mail attachments if necessary) Projects that articulate a clear understanding of the value of multimedia to their execution will be the most successful. Take seriously the questions 'Why does this project need to be realized in multimedia? What is to be gained by the use of a rich media format for the argument or experience I aim to present?' Electronic applications are preferred. Please submit to: vectors [at] annenberg [dot] edu Mailing address Vectors Summer Fellowships Annenberg Center for Communication 746 W. Adams Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90089-7727 Priority will be given to applications received by April 15, 2006. Fellowship recipients will be notified in May 2006.

Why might (or might not) media artists and organisations choose to utilise networks to generate and distribute artworks? What does the prevalence of networks in media arts reflect about the increasingly networked character of contemporary culture and society? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the network model in comparison to other organisational structures? A panel of professionals with differing relationships to media arts and its networks will examine these questions and invite discussion from the audience.
