From: mateja.juric AT break-festival.org <mateja.juric AT break-festival.org> Date: Dec 22, 2006 Subject: Call for applications: Festival Break 2.4 The purpose of the multimedia festival Break is to explore new artistic expressions and contemporary topics and to emphasize emerging poetics whose artistic discourse has not yet been deep-rooted within firmly established standards, criteria and cultural values. The ninth edition of the festival, Break 2.4, will take place in Ljubljana from the 5th to the 18th of November 2007. We are currently seeking art projects, from established, mid-career, and emerging artists, that address the theme selected for the festival: Potemkin village. Definitions of the Potemkin village -Pretentiously showy or imposing façade intended to mask or divert attention from an embarrassing or shabby fact or condition -Something that appears impressive but is ineffective and insubstantial -Any hollow or false construction, physical or figurative, meant to hide an undesirable or potentially damaging situation -Politically generated appearance that covers a less impressive underside The application must include the completed application form, supporting material, and a project presentation (visual and/or text) on A4 sheet. Deadline: February 1, 2007 (postmark) For more information, please check: http://www.break-festival.org or contact: info AT break-festival.org For the selection of projects to be realized and presented during the festival Break 2.4, decisions will be made on March 1, 2007.

It consists of a symposium, workshops, and performances. The program offers insight into current research and innovations in art and technology. Artists and researchers will examine the use of electronic media in articulating the performer's presence through the possibilities of the multi-sensuality of electronic media. The possibility of blurring the divide between public and performer to bond them through the powers of dissemination and inclusion inherent within the technology used will also be considered. The organizers of the Digital Art Weeks at ETH Zurich seek papers, posters, and performances on themes specific to performance using electronic media. We seek proposals that explore a concept of the Performative Surround in terms of how computer-mediated communication and dialog takes place between performers and viewers and how it tends to aid in dissolving the divide between perf! ormer and viewer. PERFORMANCES topics include: * Media Enhanced Artwork in the areas of Performance, Dance and Sound-Art * Mobile Art & Music that explore Performer Networking and Audience Participation * Digital Puppetry including Enhanced, Waldo, Motion Capture, and Machinima * Laptop Music including Live-Coding, Live-Cinema & Live-Re-Scoring * Installations involving Net-poetry computer mediated communication PAPERS, POSTERS and DEMONSTRATIONS topics include: * Current Research and Innovations in Media Enhanced Artwork and Technology * Issues Concerning the Live-Electronic Re-Embodiment of the Performance Artist * Approaches to Performer Networking and Audience Participation using Technology * Technology and Aesthetics of Digital Puppetry * Approaches to Live-Coding, Live-Cinema & Live-Re-Scoring * Novel Software Paradigms for Mixed-Media Processing and Authoring PANEL topics include: * Software Innovations in Mediated Communication and the Arts * Live Cinema, Expanded Video, and Film Rescoring * Immersive Audio and Video Space * The Dissolve of the Performer-Audience Divide * Networking the Private Space-Pubic Space Divide * Digital Puppetry from Enhanced to Machinima Submission guidelines are available at: http://www.digitalartweeks.ethz.ch/web/PI07/Submission + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 5.

Live chats will use Jabber (http://www.jabber.org/), an open, secure, ad-free alternative to consumer IM services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo. It is the most widely-used open source instant messaging and chat protocol. The LEA Digital Wild chatroom is on the jabber.org public server under the name/address <leadigiwild AT conference.jabber.org > and the password "leoalmanac." Follow three easy steps and you are ready to join the chat: 1) Download and install a Jabber client. A list of recommended Jabber clients is available at the following url: http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml . For Windows users, we recommend the Exodus client. For Macintosh users, please use Psi (although iChat seems to work as well), as the other recommended clients do not consistently register on the Jabber server. For Linux, Psi is also available, but the other recommended clients should work as well. 2) Register as a user on the jabber.org public server. When you first open your Jabber client you will see a start screen. If you do not see this screen, or if you are not starting the client for the first time, the screen is also available in a pull down menu as Account Details or Preferences (depending on your Jabber client). Enter a username, password, and server. Use any username and password you choose. Enter "jabber.org" as the server. When you register, if your proposed username is taken, you need to choose another. Check the button for "new account" or to automatically register the account (depending on your client). Note: you may not be able to register if you are not using one of the recommended clients listed above. Hit OK or Login. Your Jabber client will then automatically register you and connect you to the jabber.org server. 3) At this point, you are ready to chat, but there is one more step: you must join the chatroom. Select "Join a Chat Room" from your client's pull down menu. Enter the name/address of the chat room: <leadigiwild AT conference.jabber.org >. Enter the password: leoalmanac. You can also specify a nickname or "handle" to use while in the chatroom. Hit "Finish" or "OK" to join the chat. The chat room window will open and you are ready to go! Note: the chat room may not be available outside of scheduled chat times.

From: info AT toshare.it <info AT toshare.it> Date: Jan 2, 2007 Subject: PIEMONTE SHARE FESTIVAL PRESS RELEASE Event: “Piemonte Share Festival 2007” Festival of culture and arts linked to the new media and digital technologies When: from Tuesday, 23rd January to Sunday, 28th January 2007 Where: Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti main premises Via Accademia Albertina, 6 - Torino website: www.toshare.it e.mail info AT toshare.it Piemonte Share Festival is a five-day event dedicated to the relationship between the arts and digital innovation /new media. The Festival runs parallel with the Universiade and is part of the programme connected to the sporting event. Now in its 3rd year, the Festival will host an exhibition, conferences, meetings, round tables, workshops and live performances. The event will be the size of a soft-rave (a lite version of a rave) or collective party where the magic of the moment creates an atmosphere of festivity and fun, creative exchange and different types of involvement with the audience: artistic, recreational, dance, cultural and up-beat. The arts and digital culture are expressions of a heritage of knowledge and creative languages that live through connections (network), international knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary contact, cross-media interaction, multimedia projects and computer collaboration. This new configuration means they vary from earlier creative expressions to the so-called Information Technology era. All admission to the Festival is totally free and the conferences will be both in Italian and English. The theme will be: Digital Affinity/Communities Now Every year a transversal theme impacts the Festival contents, from conferences to performances, via a sampler of creative expressions applied to digital technologies (art, music, live performance, interactive installations, 3D animation, software art). The theme of the 3rd Festival is Digital Affinity/Communities Now that will be presented through taking a look at processes that regulate Communities within creative and innovative processes via meetings and round tables. Communities today are one of the paradigms that drive transformation by collectively moving into the era of knowledge and information. Communities are multipliers of intelligence, because they give value to individual skills and become engines of growth for society. Communities then are not just new forms of aggregation, but a way of being and living, a collective and humanitarian project, a culture that links one billion and 80 million people today. The bonds between these people are not just geographical or family based, but inspired by cultural, ideological and political affinity.

This is the journey-concert that Japanese artist Suguru Goto presents. In fact, the concert is a journey to the edge of sound, where music takes life from the “Virtual Musical Instrument”; these are virtual tools in the shape of interfaces that manage the relationship between human gestures and the computer, producing and then turning sounds and images into real time. Body-suite for musician-dancers, robot violins and devices that are ready to capture any type of signal and translate it into sonorous, musical and visual action. Suguru Goto’s music starts here, from this magic and technological universe. >From 8 pm Casa UNIVERSIADI, Piazzale Aldo Moro,Torino NETLABEL PARTY This music event is central to many musical scenes that represent excellence in contemporary IDM despite frequenting underground circuits. With digital technologies all artists can easily and globally find and increase their own public. The artists presented here share backgrounds of creative trials and running their own shows.

From: Marisa Olson <marisa AT rhizome.org> Date: Jan 3, 2007 Subject: Networked Nature at Foxy Production Greetings and Happy New Year! If you're planning to be in New York in January-February, please visit the following exhibition, which Rhizome has organized at Foxy Production. The show opens January 11th and it would be great to see you there! + + + Marisa Olson Editor & Curator Rhizome.org at the New Museum of Contemporary Art + + + + + + + + + NETWORKED NATURE + + + + + + + + + Organized by RHIZOME, an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art January 11 - February 18, 2007 Opening reception: January 11, 6-8 PM Foxy Production presents Networked Nature, a group exhibition that inventively explores the representation of 'nature' through the perspective of networked culture. The exhibition includes works by C5, Futurefarmers, Shih-Chieh Huang, Philip Ross, Stephen Vitiello, and Gail Wight, who provocatively combine art and politics with innovative technology, such as global positioning systems (GPS), robotics, and hydroponic environments. In their work Perfect View, San Jose-based collective C5 reached out to the subculture of recreational GPS users, or geo-cachers, asking them for their recommendations of 'sublime locales.' The submitted latitudes and longitudes provided the guide points for a thirty-three state, thirteen-thousand mile motorcycle expedition by collective member Jack Toolin, who photographed the terrain at the given coordinates. The results, presented in triptychs, smartly subvert traditional representations of landscape and notions of the sublime. San Francisco-based collective Futurefarmers' Photosynthesis Robot is a three-dimensional model of a possible perpetual motion machine driven by phototropism - the movement of plants towards the direction of the sun. Their proposal that a group plants will very slowly propel a four wheel vehicle is a witty take on the pressing search for new forms of energy. New York artist Shih-Chieh Huang's inflatable installation, Din-Don I, is inspired by everyday household electronic devices and his studies of physical computing and robotics. In this ingenious exploration of organic systems, he creates a dynamic circulation of electricity and air: a living micro-environment. San Francisco-based Philip Ross' Juniors are self-contained survival capsules for living plants. Blown glass enclosures provide a controlled hydroponic environment, where plants' roots are submerged in nutrient-infused water, while LED lights supply the necessary illumination. The artist has drawn on two culturally divergent traditions - Chinese scholars' objects and Victorian glass conservatories – that share the belief that nature is best understood when seen through the lens of human artifice. Virginia-based artist Stephen Vitiello's Hedera (BBB) unsettles our assumptions of what an appropriate soundtrack might be. The artist has constructed a sprawling vine installation with speakers hidden between the branches that quietly broadcast percussive sounds woven from the speeches and private conversations of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Creep, by Oakland-based Gail Wight, is an hypnotic three screen time-lapse video of the growth of dyed slime mold. Separately edited sequences play alongside each other, cycling through a sequence of fluorescent color shifts. In her aestheticizing of the normally repellent, Wight creates an ode to the beauty of natural growth patterns. Networked Nature is organized by Marisa Olson, Editor and Curator at Rhizome. The exhibition will tour to the Warehouse Gallery in Syracuse, New York. Networked Nature is supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The College Arts Association, The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and The New York State Council on the Arts. A full-color catalogue will be published by Rhizome and available at the gallery. Rhizome is a leading new media organization affiliated with the New Museum of Contemporary Art. Its programs support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of contemporary art that uses new technologies in significant ways.
