Subject: Rhizome's annual Community Campaign has launched!

Dear Rhizomers,

On October 17th, Rhizome launched our annual Community Campaign. We are
trying to raise $25,000 by December 31st. This amount is absolutely
essential to our survival and growth this upcoming year. We are hoping to
reach ths goal through membership contributions and individual donations
of any size.

Last year, your contributions helped us invest significant organizational
time in making our system more open and inclusive. We did this by
enhancing our new membership policy, re-designing the site, launching a
blog, and adding much needed tools, like advanced search, that make
Rhizome content more accessible and indexical. We also went through a time
of real change, with the entire staff turning over and a rapid increase in
participation in our programs and traffic to our site. These signs of
positive growth have also brought additional administrative and technical
demands upon our already overextended staff.

This year, we are hoping to enrich our site in several ways, with an aim
to make it more collaborative and dynamic for users and easier to sustain
for staff. We are planning to do this by introducing back-end tools that
will make site management easier. We are also planning to develop
resources like the ArtBase and implement more areas for our community to
exchange ideas and projects online. One of Rhizome's key strengths,
historically, has been its role as a virtual meeting ground for people of
diverse backgrounds who are interested in the various intersections of
contemporary art and new technologies. In our anniversary year, we ask
that you support us as we work to make Rhizome even more of a resource to
the global new media art community.

Please consider renewing, joining for the first time, or making a donation
of any size. Donors at the $50 and higher levels will be thanked with
limited edition works generously donated by an exciting group of new media
artists, including Brody Condon, Kristin Lucas, Lovid, MTAA, RSG, Rick
Silva, and Lee Walton.

More information can be found here:
http://www.rhizome.org/support

Thank you for your ongoing support.

All the best,
Marisa, Lauren, and Patrick

Subject: Under Fire: invitation to participate


Under Fire is an ongoing art and research project for the analysis of war
and political violence. It explores the organization, representation, and
materialization of armed conflicts: their structural, symbolic, and
affective dimensions.

The next Under Fire will take place during the period 16 October - 10
December 2006, as a project for the International Biennial of Contemporary
Art of Seville.

At the core of this project is an online forum. We invite you to
subscribe to the forum and participate in the discussion. To subscribe,

In structural terms, Under Fire is a programmatic zone that allows for
three different modes of engagement: discussion, enaction, and assembly.
Each of these modes involves varying degrees of materiality, incorporating
both online and onsite locations. A continuous flow of discussion runs
through the core of the project, yet this discursive material gets
assembled and enacted in varying forms and rhythms to meet very specific
conditions of reception -- whether in terms of geographical context, media
environment, or social setting. Each enaction and assembly provides a
vital platform, to help synthesize the material and bring it to a new
level of organization, as well as to catalyze new relationships between
participants.

What emerges is a communications ecology of actors, intensities, and
rhythms both synchronous and dissonant. It is a communications ecology
that connects people in very real historical circumstances, who
participate from different cultural locales and disciplinary perspectives,
ranging from the humanities to the social and political sciences to
journalism and activism. It allows for the manifestation of agencies,
identities, and drives and the development of interdisciplinary,
cross-cultural social networks, cultivating new forms of assembly.

This instantiation of Under Fire is a project for the International
Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville (http://www.fundacionbiacs.com).
Additional support provided by Eyebeam, New York.

THEMES

At the structural level, Under Fire foregrounds the structural conditions
of violence. It addresses issues of economic production, territory, and
operations of power. It looks to the history of the western
military-industrial complex and its expanding network of extraterritorial
enclaves and communications infrastructures. It looks at the rise of the
privatized military industry and the global commercialization of arms,
espionage, security, and military force. It looks at the production of
militancy and its construction of the enemy other. It understands acts of
violence as symptoms or effects of structural conditions, and situates
cycles of conflict within the workings of a global system. In this way it
probes the nature of power and its resistance. Yet, at the same time, it
also aims to understand the intersection of space, system, and power in
non-socioeconomic and semiotic terms. To this end, it draws from the
physical sciences, philosophy, and science studies to!
incorporate recent theories of emergent organization and the ontogenic,
nonlinear generation of behaviors and forms.

At the symbolic level, Under Fire looks at the representation of violence
and the role that images play as complex registers of symbolic meaning.
It aims to decode media using the tools of semiotic analysis, focusing on
the social and cultural construction of knowledge. In this way it
furthers development of a critical spectatorship. Yet at the same time,
it explores non-linguistic-based networks of interpretation. Here
representation is understood less in terms of a discrete visual artifact
and more in terms of a dynamic, processual assembly -- or what could be
called a media ecology. The image becomes a malleable, reproducible, and
re-frameable event, produced by a multiplicity of human and technological
applications. Such a media ecology involves not only perception but
sensation. It operates at the symbolic, imaginative, and affective
levels. It necessarily incorporates material, intensive realities that
resist symbolization, but which in every case play a powerfu!
l role in shaping consciousness and the belief systems that motivate action.

Following from this, at the affective level, Under Fire does not simply
focus on meaning but on the affective and motivational realms of human
experience. These include the embodied qualities, sensations, magnitudes,
and textures that form the substrata of communication, argument, and
judgment. In other words, on par with the content of a particular
message, equal attention is given to the quality of embodied resonance it
engenders. Under Fire explores the ways that affects are harnessed and
molded -- through drill, routine, and symbolic ritual -- in the training
technologies of war, marketing, and religion. It therefore explores the
role that affects play in the production of collective identifications,
aggressions, and "militarized subjectivities." As such, it explores the
politics of affect -- whether in terms of the politics of fear, desire, or
otherwise. It positions the affective realm as a biopolitical frontier.
It seeks to understand how power operates at the !
level of the affective, and, in turn, how the affective becomes political.

This leads to important questions. How, then, is politics is constituted
in this space between affect and discourse? In other words, how is
politics constituted between ineffable states of embodied expression on
the one hand, and larger rhetorical strategies on the other? Under Fire
follows this line of questioning. It asks: When is expression or action
rendered intelligible as a political force? When does expression cease to
simply turn around and around itself, and instead erupt into the arena of
the political? What are the operations of power that determine its
legitimacy? What is the role of the imaginary? What is the difference
between violence and politics; when does violence become political? How
are new political spaces opened or invented? And in turn, how is
subjectivity constituted therein -- in terms of self-affectivity or
discursive construction? In terms of the repetitive, embodied
internalization of expressive acts, or symbolic insertions into the pu!
blic arena?

Addressing these and other questions Under Fire inquires into the status
of political speech and moves toward what could be understood as a
performative politics -- a politics that can incorporate a multiplicity of
somatic and symbolic registers, filtered by cultural fictions,
imaginaries, intensities, and arts of the self. A performative politics
that has the potential of inventing a new form of public speech and
existence.

Under Fire brings together a diverse cross-section of artists, media
makers, educators, activists, political analysts, media researchers,
writers, performers, cultural theorists, social scientists, architects,
organizers, networkers, and other scholars and practitioners who are
interested in contemporary media culture, political violence, technology,
power, social movements, and global politics.

THE DANIEL LANGLOIS FOUNDATION: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: RESEARCHER IN
RESIDENCE GRANTS

Montreal, October 10, 2006 - The Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art,
Science and Technology is extending its call for research proposals for
researcher in residence grants to November 15, 2006.

Through its Researcher in Residence Grant program, the Daniel Langlois
Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology supports projects that not
only draw on the documentation collection and archival fonds of the Centre
for Research and Documentation (CR+D), but that also explore new ways of
disseminating and interacting with documentary content. More specifically,
the program aims to promote research projects that take an innovative
approach to disseminating research results via data communications.

Recent revisions to this program have led to the introduction of two
research components that can be used as focal points for projects: CR+D
documentary collections and archival fonds and Information architecture
and online publishing.

Component 1 - CR+D documentary collections and archival fonds
The research project must make use of the CR+D's documentation collections
and archives. A profile of the Foundation's collections is available under
the "Fonds and Collections" heading in the "Centre for Research and
Documentation" section of the Foundation's Web site at:
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/flash/e/index.php?NumPage=147

Component 2 - Information architecture and electronic publishing project
Research projects accepted in this component must propose a highly
original concept for information architecture and/or electronic
publishing. The Foundation is interested in research into content
organization systems, navigation and user interface systems, semantics
research systems, and metadata development. It is also interested in
projects on data and system emulation or migration and research into
database access modes and interoperability.

For 2007, the Daniel Langlois Foundation is offering two research grants.
The proposals selected will allow researchers to work at the Foundation's
Centre for Research and Documentation (CR+D), where they will have access
to computer and audiovisual equipment as well as to the Foundation's
database, its entire document collection, digital documents and a high
speed Internet connection (T1). The CR+D also offers reference and
research support services as well as technical resources in accordance
with the project in question.

For more information on this grant program and on how to submit a proposal
online, we invite you to consult the program guidelines under "Funding
Programs" / "Program for Researchers in Residence" on the Foundation's Web
site at:
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/flash/e/index.php?NumPage=121

You may also contact Catalina Briceno, program officer, at
prg_ind AT fondation-langlois.org. The deadline for applications is November
15, 2006.

This blog is for posting information about a performance action we are
doing in Castellon, Spain on Saturday October 21, 2006 as part of an
exhibition at EACC Espai d?Art Contemporani de Castelló from
October-January 2007. It will involve three short Machinima (stories told
with video game footage) videos that will be beamed from an ultra-light
projector stapped to one of our head helmets. (The videos are now linked
from the blog to YouTube.) We sampled the two Playstation games Narc and
MechWarrior. It sort of evolved into a violent (break) dance musical and
each video is dedicated to an African or Muslim immigrant who was
seriously abused by police in Spain or France. We, two American women in
padded anime/riot gear/something else inspired moda, will be holding
Playstation controllers and rollerskating at the same time, (and sometimes
dancing), while we coast around projecting onto surfaces of the city.
