Eisenlohr Date: December 15, 2007 Subject: Urban Research, call for entries Open Call: Urban Research on Film http://www.richfilm.de/DL2008/framesCall.html We are looking for new visual approaches towards the contemporary city. The program will be first shown at Directors Lounge, Berlin, February 2008. Experimental, documentary, essay, interactive and multi-channel, all welcome. Please send in preview DVD of your work. Early deadline Dec. 18, 2007 (postmarked), late entry deadline Jan. 5 (only if you have sent a previous notice!) Please contact: klaus AT richfilm.de Please ship to: Klaus W. Eisenlohr, Osnabrücker Str. 25. D-10589 Berlin, Germany Urban Research The common image of urbanity stays within the traditional iconography, and encompasses an outdated model of “the city”. Mass media reproduce it and tourists (want to) affirm it on their “city tours” around the globe. In contrast, city centres and public spaces have lost their traditional function. Even efforts of urban renewal of centres – conceptually not much different to the “City Beautiful” movement at the end of the 19th century – do not help to conserve life of “old towns.” These efforts may even accelerate the described changes. On the other hand in mass media, there is little depiction of the life, the architecture, of the beauty and the issues of the contemporary urban scapes. There is a lack of positive images of the contemporary city as it has grown until today. There even is the notion of the city being “unreadable” (T. Sieverts). The common terms are reflecting these negative views of the environment most people live in: “sprawl”, “edge city”, “in-between city” (Zwischenstadt), or “informal city”. Many artists thus have taken up to newly explore and visually research the “unknown”, the “informal” city. There is exciting new work, which tries to create a different, a differentiated image of space, architecture and life within the contemporary city. Unlike modernist “city symphonies,” these new works are based on exploration, on research and on discourse. The artists often focus on particular aspects rather than trying to depict the city as a whole. Urban Research comprises experimental, documentary and animated works bringing together complementary views of urban life. Urban Research 2008 will firstly be presented at the media art festival Directors Lounge in February 2008. So far, the selections of Urban Research have been widely shown in venues in London, Poznan, Dordrecht/Rotterdam, Freiburg, Essen and Berlin.

From: Ana otero Date: December 17, 2007 Subject: Call For Papers and Art Works: CAC.2: Computer Art Congress Link: http://europia.org/CAC2/ Deadline: December 31, 2007 CAC.2: Computer Art Congress Emerging forms of computer art: making the digital sense Date: March 26, 27, 28, 2008 - Mexico City, Mexico Organised by:The Paragraphe Lab, University of Paris VIII (France), the Monterrey Tech Campus Toluca and Campus Estado de México (Mexico), and Europia Productions organize the 2nd. edition of Computer Art Congress. IMPORTANT DATES * Papers Submissions: December 31, 2007 * Author's notification: January 19, 2007 * Proceedings file: January 31, 2008 * Early Registration: January 19, 2008 * Advanced Registration: March 14, 2008 (after this date, registration is on site) * Congress dates: March 26 - 28, 2008 The first CAC'2002 observed that the origins of Computer Art (CA) are to be found in the fields of Art and Sciences. This duality has greatly delayed its recognition. Today, we are witnessing the emergence of a multidisciplinary community which has been spurred on by the advanced computer sciences. Members of this community share certain "conceptions" related to Visual Art in general and to Computer Art in particular. Nowadays, six years later, we witness an enlargement of Computer Art boundaries mainly led by its unusual development. Distance between Art and Science has narrowed to the point that CA looks to be quite an independent and autonomous field starving to reach its maturity. From this perspective, CA cannot evolve separately from the IT development strategy. Today, along with digital content production, which is in some measure produced accordingly to collective intelligence schemes, we also observe emerging forms of CA that strive to develop new ways to interact with digital content, new artefacts that repurpose digital content and new paradigms that aim to make sense of CA. In this manner, several questions need to be posed and analysed: * Does CA have its own identity? If yes, what about it? * Does CA belong to the Art universe? If yes, how to situate it? * Does CA belong to the digital universe? If yes, how does it fit-in? AIMS AND SCOPE CAC'08, has chosen Mexico, to call artists, authors, creators, distributors, instructors, inventors, journalists, managers, producers, scientists and technologists, concerned by those emerging artistic and technological forms, contributing, collaborating and exchanging their art-works, experiences, know-how, knowledge and visions on the "digital" Art. The Computer Art Congress endeavours to be a common forum for exchange between Artists, Researchers, and Technologists involved in this artistic area. The topics of the congress were chosen to establish a multi-disciplinary environment for participants from several backgrounds, to discuss how computer/media/network art can take its own place in the art. TOPICS The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to, the following major topics: * Aesthetics of Computer Art * Animation and Computer Art * Algorithmic Art * Collaborative Art * Computer Art and art * Computer Art and non-linear culture * Computer Art and video games * Color in Computer Art * Digital Games Art * Global Culture * History of Computer Art * Interactive Computer Art * Linguistic and Computer Art * Music in Computer Art * New forms of Computer Art * Networked Art * Online Computer Art * Epistemology of Computer Art PRESENTATION CATEGORIES * Plenary (keynote) presentations * Panels and roundtables * Workshops and tutorials * Exhibitions, demonstrations and posters * Communications and article presentations * Corporate showcases * Corporate stands Authors and artists interested may submit a 3-page proposal.

From: Atau Tanaka Date: December 18, 2007 Subject: Call For MMW'08 - Vienna: CFP - Mobile Music Workshop 2008 Link: http://mobilemusicworkshop.org/ Deadline: February 10, 2008 5TH INTERNATIONAL MOBILE MUSIC WORKSHOP 2008 13-15 May 2008, Vienna, Austria Call for Submissions: Deadline 10 February 2008 www.mobilemusicworkshop.org The Mobile Music Workshop 2008 is the 5th in a series of annual international gatherings that explore the creative, critical and commercial potential of mobile music. They are inspired by the ever-changing social, geographic, ecological, emotional context of using mobile technology for creative ends. We are looking for new ideas and ground-breaking projects on sound in mobile contexts. What new forms of interaction with music and audio lie ahead as locative media, ubiquitous networks, and music access merge into new forms of experiences that shape the everyday? Can they change the way we think about our mobile devices and about walking through the city? The emerging field of Mobile Music sits at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, portable audio technology and New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME). It goes beyond today’s personal music players to include creative practices of mobile music making, sharing and mixing. The mobile setting challenges existing notions of interfaces and interaction, stretching music to new creative limits. The workshop has been at the forefront of this innovative area since 2004. Past editions of the event have taken place in Amsterdam, Brighton, Vancouver and Göteborg in collaboration with the Viktoria Institute, STEIM, Waag Society, Futuresonic, NIME and others. The 2008 edition of the workshop will be held in Vienna, one of the hotspots in the European for laptop, glitch, and electronic music. Hosted by the University of Applied Arts, it will feature three evenings of performances and installations, an exhibition in the heart of the city, invited speakers, paper presentations, posters and demo sessions as well as hands-on tutorials. Besides the workshop proceedings, we will publish a catalogue that will gather key contributions from the last 5 years. We invite artists, designers, academic researchers, hackers, industry professionals and practitioners from all areas, including music, technology development, new media, sound-art, music distribution, cultural/media studies and locative media and more to present and discuss projects, prototypes, applications, devices, performances, installations, theoretical and historical considerations. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Submission deadline: 10 February 2008 Notification of acceptance: 14 March 2008 Submission deadline for final papers: 14 April 2008 Registration deadline: 14 April 2008 PARTICIPATE Please upload your submission in any of the three following categories at http://ocs.waag.org/. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by a committee of international specialists in the field. Papers We invite submissions of workshop papers presenting new projects, approaches or reflections exploring the topic of mobile music. Potential submissions could include but are not limited to mobile music systems or enabling technologies, interface design, legal issues, user studies, ethnographic fieldwork, social implications, art pieces and other areas relevant to mobile music. Accepted paper authors will be given a time slot during the workshop for presentation and discussion of their work. They are encouraged to bring a demo of their work if possible. Format: 4 pages in ACM SIG publications format (for templates, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). More artistic submissions are free to pay less attention to the academic or technical detail of the format, and to include more media instead. Posters and Demos We also invite the contribution of posters and demos that document work-in-progress projects or ideas in similar areas of mobile music technology as the papers. There will be a poster and demo presentation session where attendees will be able to discuss work with the authors. The most robust of the demos will be offered the opportunity to exhibit to the general public during the open sessions (although this is not mandatory). Posters will be on display for the duration of the conference. Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format (for templates, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). More artistic submissions are free to pay less attention to the academic or technical detail of the format, and to include more media instead. Installations and Performances We invite mobile art installations and performances in the genres of mobile music and locative audio. There will be an exhibition space in central Vienna, and the possibility to show work in the city. There will also be a series of evening performances/concerts/parties. Format: Please follow loosely the ACM SIG publications format (for templates, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) without too much academic or technical detail and include more media instead. Please indicate if your project would be suitable for indoor or outdoor, installation or performance. REGISTRATION & FEE The workshop will have both closed sessions for registered participants and sessions open to the general public. The number of participants for the closed sessions of the workshop is limited to 50 places. Accepted submitters are given priority, other participants are accepted on a first-come first-served basis.

From: COPYSHOP KNOXVILLE Date: December 17, 2007 Subject: COPYSHOP KNOXVILLE now open! COPYSHOP in Knoxville is the first official franchise of COPYSHOP, a project initiated by Superflex and Copenhagen Brains. COPYSHOP is operated in Knoxville, Tennessee by The Art Gallery of Knoxville. Visit the online store: http://copy-shop.org/knoxville/products COPYSHOP is a place where you can copy everything. In COPYSHOP you will find products that challenge intellectual property. They can be modified originals, improved copies, political anti-brands - or a SUPERCOPY as the new original. Furthermore, COPYSHOP will function as a gathering point and network for a diverse group who share a critical view on intellectual property. COPYSHOP presents the opportunity and means to effectively participate and share authority. COPYSHOP intends to enable the self-affirming expression of experiences mediated by the history, language, and traditions of an independent group. COPYSHOP enables those who have been marginalized economically and culturally to claim, in both respects, a status as fully participating members of a community. Background “Intellectual property is the oil of the 21st century” - Mark Getty, american businessman and grandson of the oil tycoon J. Paul Getty “Mans culture and technological development as we know it, is intrinsically connected to the free and unlimited right to copy” - Morten Skriver, artist “There has never been a time in history when more of our “culture” was as “owned” as it is now. And yet there has never been a time when the concentration of power to control the uses of culture has been as unquestioningly accepted as it is now”. - Lawrence Lessig, lawyer and writer. Intellectual property in the form of copyright, licenses and patents has an increasing importance on society - and for what we say, where we say it, and to whom we say it to. The right over ideas maintains the status quo within the current economic order. The last 10 to 20 years has seen an exponential rise in the extent of intellectual property. This is due to the economy of globalisation and to the spread of information technology. The fundamental legal concept is as follows: ‘if value then right’, or, to put it another way, ‘where there is economic value there is intellectual property’. This expansion has caused different reactions. For example from the Open Source movement where the ownership of code hindered the best possible development of software. This caused, among other things, the operating system linux. In Brazil state sanctioned infringements of intellectual property has enabled the production of cheaper HIV medicine. We want to confront this development and produce, promote and sell products that challenge the concept ‘If value then right’. COPYSHOP is initiated by Superflex and Copenhagen Brains The Art Gallery of Knoxville is dedicated to new and emerging Art. It is an open space to cultivate ideas of Art and social engagement. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome Commissions Program Rhizome 2008 Commissions Announced!

Every night from the 22 to the 29 of February 2008, the vapour emissions of the Salmisaari power plant in Helsinki will be illuminated to show the current levels of electricity consumption by local residents. A laser ray will trace the cloud during the night time and turn it into a city scale neon sign. Nuage Vert is a communal event for the area of Ruoholahti, which anticipates esoteric cults centred on energy and transforms an active power plant into a space for art, a living factory. In tandem, as a reversal of conventional roles whereby the post-industrial factory is turned into space for culture, Kaapeli (the cultural factory) becomes the site of operation and Salmisaari (the industrious factory) becomes the site of spectacle. No other space, network, grid, community could better represent a city and it's activity as a whole. The physical dimension of the Salmisaari site, inhabits a special position in Helsinki; physically, visually and metaphorically. The vertical vectors of the architecture connect the underworld with the sky: the underground coal storage tunnels descend to 126m below sea level (the deepest point in Helsinki) whilst it's chimney reaches 155m into the sky with its cloud disappearing into the lower atmosphere. On the horizontal plane, the warm water tubes spread out like veins to heat the homes and offices of Helsinki. Since hot water cannot travel far, the factory is necessarily situated in the city centre, not in the periphery. The factory IS the centre. The extended space, vertically and horizontally, defines the sphere in which people live. In this sphere we are slowly becoming aware of the material and nonmaterial analogy between religion and energy. The factory gives us warmth, it is the provider of comfort and our lives increasingly depend upon it. Energy and religion are both visible and real, they shape our physical environment in the form of the enormous buildings that we build, and yet they are invisible. Since electricity cannot be stored, like religion, it is ephemeral and only exists in the moment of consumption. In February 2008 we will herd around this cathedral of energy and marvel. >> More information at www.nuagevert.org + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
