From: Kevin Hamilton <kham AT uiuc.edu> Date: Dec 6, 2006 Subject: CFP: Workshop on Methods of Collaboration - CHI 2007 CFP: *Workshop on Methods and Evaluation in Interdisciplinary Collaboration* Computer/Human Interaction Conference, 2007 San Jose, CA Research into new forms of sociality or critical applications of technology often requires unexpected and even disjunctive institutional partnerships. Universities in particular find researchers coming together around common resources or initiatives who share little in the way of methods, values, or politics. How are researchers and practitioners from Art/Design and the Sciences negotiating and sustaining collaboration today? What differences are preserved in the process, which ones obscured, which transcended? When have quantitative and qualitative methodologies successfully co-mingled, and what do the adherents of each have to learn? Aren't disharmonious partnerships more likely to be formed in a climate of decreased resources and increased pressure to demonstrate "creativity" that produces capital? This April in San Jose at the annual Computer/Human Interaction (CHI) Conference, we'll be conducting a workshop on these subjects for a day, and we're eager to enlist some more participants. The workshop will take the form of short presentations, large and small-group discussions, with representatives present from many disciplines. The context, if you're new to CHI, is a professional conference based predominantly in scientific discourse. We've proposed this workshop to CHI as an interdisciplinary team from art and science, and indeed the conference has seen an increasing amount of designers and artists in attendance recently. We'll be focusing on the following specific questions and topics: 1 - How are projects evaluated by interdisciplinary teams? Which criteria from which constituencies are applied, and to what ends? 2 - What methods of investigation are employed in design processes by teams composed of diverse practitioners? How are ideas iterated? 3 - When is labor divided based on disciplinary difference? At what stages in the process are these differences ignored? 4 - When is evaluation and critique incorporated into process, and how? If your research or practice has led you to navigation of these or related questions, we invite you to submit proposals for participation and presentation at this Spring's workshop, on April 27th in San Jose. Please see the full CFP for more a more detailed explication of this workshop's goals. We hope to assemble a group capable of producing applicable methods and useful processes in the pursuit of research that is interdisciplinary by necessity, and perhaps not by choice.

Amsterdam of 2006 ponders the poetics of degradability, focussing specifically on the aesthetics of things mutable, morphable, and ephemeral.Whether its Steven Jouwersmas serial destruction of personal memory and momentum in the DIA-EXIT, or whether its Jelte van Abbemas time and emotion sensitive font in his VIRTUREAL typewriter, or his bacterial prints in SYMBIOSIS, these artists show us that the wilful design of degradability yield surprising outcomes. The new performance SYNCHRONATOR by Gert-Jan Prins and Bas van Koolwijk, which combines thecharacteristic visual qualitiesof analogue and digital techniques concludes the evening.

After collecting and watching 40.000 slides he decided to destroy them, and machine for that purpose: the "DIA-EXIT", installed at the Tschumi Pavilion in Groningen. Upon pressing a red button a slide projection appears; another push on the button would cause the slides destruction. Jelte van Abbema | Virtureal |Symbiosis | Virtureal | Virtureal explores man-machine boundaries by way of a modified old Remington typewriter, fitted with pressure sensors. The font changes according to the intensity of the keystrokes, and is susceptible to the passage of time. | Symbiosis | Due to his fascination for growth, van Abbema created prints composed by bacteria. As time passes, the image is continuously and organically transformed into something new. Gert-Jan Prins & Bas van Koolwijk | Synchronator Since the early years of video art, works have been made which do not produce a standard TV signal waveform and therefore cannot be directly recorded or projected with current equipment. For SYNCHRONATOR, Bas van Koolwijk and Gert-Jan Prins have created their own hardware to overcome this problem,making use of the characteristic visual qualities of such techniques. http://www.gjp.info/synchronator.htm -- Upgrade! Amsterdamis a series of gatherings for and by new media aficionados, artists, geeks, media makers and breakers, and the generally curious.

Upgrade! is an international, emerging network of autonomous nodes united by art, technology, and a commitment to bridging cultural divides.

From: ana otero <ana AT no-afiles.com> Date: Dec 7, 2006 Subject: New Media Caucus at the 2007 College Art Conference The 95th Annual conference will take place from February 14th to 17th at the Hilton New York in Midtown Manhattan. Here are a few crucial dates for your calendar: December 13th is the deadline for Early Bird Registration for the Conference (this can be done on-line at http:// conference.collegeart.org/2007/register or via mail). Thursday, February 15, 12:30-2pm, Trianon Ballroom, Hilton NY New Media Caucus Juried Session: Panel Title: "Can Geeks be Humanists” Panel Chair: Marcia Tanner, Independent Curator and Writer, Berkeley, California A common perception among artists, curators, art historians, art critics, and art audiences outside the new media art community is that artists using contemporary technologies create work that alienates the viewer and conflicts with the humanist legacy of Western art and other cultural and aesthetic traditions. This notion is all too often reinforced, superficially at least, by much of the new media work produced. This panel will address and challenge those assumptions with presentations by artists whose work and practice consciously extend and amplify humanist aesthetic traditions. In the subsequent conversation, panelists will be invited to explore the definitions and appropriateness of those apparently oppositional terms -- “geeks” versus “humanists” -- and consider a third: that of “artist.“ They will discuss those characteristics of new media art that seem to justify the charges against it -- notably in terms of communication with and/or reception by traditional art audiences and critics -- and whether these concerns should matter to anyone now, particularly to the artists themselves.
