From: till AT emergeandsee.org <till AT emergeandsee.org> Date: Oct 7, 2007 Subject: Call for papers about visual future Dear rhizome.org subscribers, please kindly read and spread this call for papers for a conference on media art and theory in Berlin, February 2008: /// Call for papers /// «Yet Another Media Conference» What is the future of moving image? Every media student knows about the ambivalence of their topic. When telling their friends about university, the next sentence of their counterpart often is “And what is it exactly you do?”. The term “media” is getting more and more important in our societies, because everybody knows that the environment is full of them. But what is media theory and what can it do in our reality? The international short film festival EMERGEANDSEE and the Institute of European Media Studies from the University of Potsdam and the University of Applied Sciences want to close a gap and together they found «Yet Another Media Conference». In 2008 the conference focuses on the future of moving image and turns the Kino babylon berlin:mitte for two days into a bustling campus. Everyone knows films. Be it on a cinema screen, be it on YouTube. Visual Art is known by everyone. Media Theory is not, although it is just as important. Therefore «Yet Another Media Conference» joins international universities, to discuss, to show, to explain, to learn and to broaden the horizon. EMERGEANDSEE sees a necessity for an international exchange between media professors, theorists, philosophers, artists, practitioners and students. We want to start a discussion in which students play a major role as they are the people that will form tomorrow's theory and praxis. EMERGEANDSEE collects and shows young creative moving images since 2000. At our short film festivals, we bring the public the best visual ideas from media and design academies around the world. Filmed or animated, narrative or artistic – EMERGEANDSEE shows innovative ideas. For «Yet Another Media Conference» EMERGEANDSEE is searching for media theorists and practitioners who want to present and discuss their thoughts on visuality. Anything that concerns the aesthetics, formats, concepts and genres of moving images is welcome. We would like to create a connection between work and reflection. Apart from that, the topic of the conference is kept deliberately broad, in order to create a vivid forum and to allow many different views. «Yet Another Media Conference» takes place 4-6 February 2008 in Berlin, alongside our film festival. The event is held a few days before the Berlinale, because we would like to offer our guests the opportunity to visit the biggest German film festival after some days of discussion and reception of innovative and young work. If you can contribute your work concerning visual media, including but not limited to * short narratives * analog vs. digital aesthetics * technical convergence/convergence of genres * future distribution please send us an abstract of your presentation until 1 November 2007. Panels at the conference should consist of 20 to 30 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of discussion. There are plans for a publication after the conference, most possibly a collection of the presented papers. Please send your abstracts as .pdf, .doc or plain text to conference AT emergeandsee.org.

From: johnrodat AT gmail.com <johnrodat AT gmail.com> Date: Oct 10, 2007 Subject: Open Call: EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission EMPAC - The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY- announces the 2008 guidelines for the DANCE MOViES Commission. This is an open call for artists, choreographers, dancers, filmmakers based in the Americas working in the genre of dance for the screen. The EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission will support the creation of experimental works for the screen which may vary widely in content and form, yet are united by the fact that the image on the screen was crafted by, or in collaboration with, a choreographer or movement-based artist. Up to 3 commissions will be awarded in the range of $7,000 - $50,000. This year, with the opening of the EMPAC building in the fall of 2008, artists may apply to create their DANCE MOViES works in conjunction with the Artist-in-Residence program. Works commissioned may take advantage of EMPAC’s spaces and technology, using infrastructure such as computer-controlled rigging or large-scale immersive studio environments. Backed by the Jaffe Fund for Experimental Media and Performing Arts, the DANCE MOViES Commission supports works for the screen including film, video, installation and other audio-visual formats. The works may be narrative in nature or abstract; they may range in length (up to 20 minutes). In 2007, its inaugural year, EMPAC’s DANCE MOViES Commission received more than 150 applications from dance-filmmakers in North and South America. As the first major US-based commissioning program available to dance-film artists in the Americas, the DANCE MOViES Commission represents an important opportunity for those working at the intersection of the moving body and the moving image. The four commissioned projects in 2007 included a poetic film based on the autobiographical account of an U.S.-based African choreographer returning to dance in Zimbabwe; a work featuring American veterans of war; an Argentinean video interlacing pure movement, form and architecture; and a piece in which a contemporary Russian dancer is viewed in the aesthetic context of a post-Soviet surveillance society. They will premier at the opening of EMPAC in October 2008. The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), founded by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is dedicated to work which explores the integration of technology, media and the performing arts. Through the DANCE MOViES Commission, EMPAC aims to support and encourage the development of the genre of dance film and video in the Americas.

Almost coinciding with the ninth anniversary of Google search engine (last Thursday, September 27), the show "Google Art, or How to Hack Google" aims to illuminate and critique the influence of this expanding online institution. Artworks include ad hacks that attempt to foil Google's seemingly unstoppable business machinery, playful re-interpretations of search results and alterations of its geographical worldview. Together, they elevate and critique Google's logic, while recognizing its own deepening relationship with our culture, behavior and lives. http://rhizome.org/art/exhibition/googleshow/ "Google Art, or How to Hack Google" is an online show organized by Rhizome and curated by Ana Otero. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 9.

The OTO project begins on October 12 with “Again Transporter,” new works by Michael Sarff. Sarff’s “Again Transporter” features three video loops, each generated by machine transportation. Parade floats, cars, roller coasters, and auto washes send us forever forward, then back in time. Vehicles dance with us in vacant yet compelling style. Seduction, within these automated ballets, is heightened by Sarff´s choices in editing, cropping and pairing of images. Along with the videos, Sarff recreates “Some Group Assemble Required (SGAR),” a participatory sculpture first shown at the Good Bad Art Collective, Brooklyn in 2001 and again at the Cranbrook Art Museum in 2002. The work involves plastic models (originally multiple Dodge Chargers but now, possibly, B52 Bombers or Space Shuttles), hot glue, grey paint, a plywood table, beer and your company. Michael Sarff, under the pseudonym Mark River, is half of the ongoing artist collaboration MTAA.

From: Pau Waelder <pau AT pauwaelder.com> Date: Oct 8, 2007 Subject: Metalandscapes at the Pilar i Joan Miró Foundation metalandscapes Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca (Spain) October 5th, 2007 – January 6th, 2008 Participating artists: Mauro Ceolin, Adam Chapman, Joan Fontcuberta, Thorsten Knaub, Scott Snibbe and Carlo Zanni. Curator: Pau Waelder http://www.metapaisatges.com http://www.metapaisajes.com The landscape is not just the natural environment or its representation. It is in itself a cultural construct, subject to the codes and beliefs of those who have configured it, be it physically (determining its shape by the arrangement of gardens, plantations, roads, bridges and constructions) or as an image (choosing the point of view and the elements that will be included). The representation of landscape, in painting, photography or other media, is thus not just the plain reproduction of the environment. It becomes a selected vision, a whole Weltanschauung summarized in one image. Landscape painting brought the concept of mimesis to its extreme by pretending to be a real window at which the viewer can stare. But also, as an abstraction of reality, it incorporates several codes of the cultural environment in which it has been created: landscape can also mean social status, ownership or identity of a particular territory. It is also the result of the encounter of culture and natural environment, and thus depending on how the relation between these two elements evolves, the representation of landscape will change. Mankind has been afraid of nature, has then tried to understand it, label it, domesticate it, later on despise it and finally, on the fringe of extinction, recuperate it with a rather unrealistic nostalgia. All of these transformations are reflected in the representations of landscape that have been made during the last centuries. Today, globalization offers us a repeated landscape all over the world: the horizon of a vast city or a never ending freeway flanked by signs displaying always the same advertisements. Landscape thus acquires a new signification. The so-called “urban landscape” finds its own sense and form; the natural landscape turns into either a fiction or a denunciation; the virtual landscape, finally, appears in the screen of the computer to offer us a new space at which we will stare. In any of its forms, the landscape is necessary to us because it represents our environment, and as it is embedded with our own cultural codes, it gives us an image of our place in the world. metalandscapes proposes a revision of the concept of landscape from the perspective of digital art. Digital art incorporates the codes and themes of our contemporary society, which is dominated by technological processes and scientific research, and thus can bring a suggestive approach to the model of world view that is the representation of landscape. Due to the processes they generate and the forms they create, the artworks presented in this exhibition are, more than landscapes, metalandscapes. By using the greek prefix that means “beyond”, I designate these pieces as “landscapes after landscape”, which create an abstraction that is both a landscape and an analysis (or critique) of landscape. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 11.

Curating Internet-based Art in a media of its own developed into a multifaceted communication process on content among users of all backgrounds and provenances. Net curators are deemed "cultural context providers", "meta artists", "power users", "filter feeders" or simply "proactive consumers". "Curating (on) the web", as termed it in 1998 already, not only creates a public space for Net Art protagonists, but also enables them to participate in creating their own public space, which often takes on the form of discursive models. Handling technological developments and knowledge about existing channels of communication are integral parts of net curating, as are providing resources, initiating collaborations and remaining in contact with international networks. Expanding the curators' field of action--allowing them to incorporate more than the supervision, contextualisation and exhibition of artwork in museums, galleries or off spaces--is closely linked to the media-specific characteristics of art produced on the Internet. Internet Art does not necessarily have to be presented in a customary exhibition space, because as long as there is a computer with Internet access, it can be accessed anywhere any time. In many cases, Net Art emerges through the participation of an audience with diverse approaches to the Internet, which comments on, transforms and disseminates the artworks in many different ways. In addition, the somewhat rather communicative mechanisms on which this art is based are simultaneously its subject, thus allowing it to function as a reciprocal "feedback loop" between the original author and the user. In the 20th century, the numerous postulations on the end of authorship and the end of concept of the "work of art" as a definable entity with a definable set of limits (Werkbegriff) gave way to a discourse--which, in turn, is constituted through its own development and reception processes--as they also accompany the advancement and visualisation of these very processes. In this vein, curators are those "who set up contexts for artists who provide contexts". In contrast to the late 1990s when Net-based Art was celebrated as avant-garde spectacles, today Technology-based Art views for the attention of a broader public interested in art. Higher demands are made on curators to include these art forms in conventional exhibitions, which simultaneously poses several problems: "curating immateriality", a term postulated a few years ago, is faced with immense technological challenges and at present theoretical groundwork is being laid for providing ways of addressing Technology-based Art that extend beyond viewing them as "Techno Art" and the tacit implication that "The Medium is the Message".

From: klaudio stefancic <kstefancic AT gmail.com> Date: Oct 9, 2007 Subject: conference_visual_construction_of_culture Visual Construction of Culture Zagreb, 26 – 27. October 2007. --------- The Croatian Writers' Society, the theory, culture and visual arts journal Tvrđa, and the Zagreb Centre for Visual Studies are organizing an international interdisciplinary symposium entitled Visual Construction of Culture, to be held at the Mimara Museum in Zagreb on 26 and 27 October 2007 (Friday and Saturday). Visual, pictorial and cultural turn marks the liberation of the image from the dominant paradigms in language philosophy and from the prevalent iconology interpretations in art history. Today, the picture is understood as a medium of communication and as a contextual field of autoreferential denotation. It is no longer a "holy" picture or a picture of High Art, but a multiplied and networked world of visuality which demands its own new grammar, syntax, semiotics and hermeneutics. Culture can no longer be explained by social identity theories. Visual culture is constructed autonomously and in the media age it is a prerequisite for the cognition of reality and its various interpretations. The Symposium will therefore focus especially on the need for a new approach to the concepts of picture, visuality and media in our time. --------- Symposium Programme Friday, October 26, 2007 •• 10.00 Introduction •• 10.15 ŽARKO PAIĆ, Faculty of Textile Technology, Zagreb Deconstruction of Image: From Mimesis and Representation to Communication •• 11.00 NADEŽDA ČAČINOVIĆ, Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb The Visible and Cognition •• 11.45 MILAN GALOVIĆ, Faculty of Textile Technology, Zagreb Image in Technical Era •• 12.30 KRUNO MARTINAC, University of Melbourne, Australia Someone Looks at Something •• 13.30 Lunch break •• 15.00 ALEKSANDAR MIJATOVIĆ, Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb Profane Iconology •• 15.45 IZAR LUNAČEK, Ljubljana The Visual Construction of Carnival Reality •• 16.30 SREĆKO HORVAT, Zagreb Holocaust and Media •• 17.15 Closing of the first day's sessions Saturday, October 27, 2007 •• 10.00 KEITH MOXEY, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York Visual Studies and the Iconic Turn •• 10.45 NIGEL WHITELEY, Lancaster University Visual Disciplines in a Post-Disciplinary World •• 11.30 SONJA BRISKI UZELAC, Academy of Applied Arts, Rijeka Art in the Age of Cultural Reconfiguration: From Artifact Towards Visual Text •• 12.15 MARCO SENALDI, State University of Milano-Bicocca Contemporary Art and Television •• 13.00 Lunch break •• 14.30 KLAUDIO ŠTEFANČIĆ, Center for Visual Studies, Zagreb User Interface as Space of Cultural Differentiation •• 15.15 ANTONIO SANTANGELO, University of Turin "Real Fiction": The New Frontiers of Constructing Reality in Television •• 16.00 KREŠIMIR PURGAR, Center for Visual Studies, Zagreb Visual Turn and Literary Text: Subversive Iconology in the Novel City by Alessandro Baricco •• 16.45 Closing of the Symposium More info: http://www.vizualni-studiji.com/ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
