Rhizome, as a leading organization in the field of contemporary art and technology, will continue to forge new ground with our 2009 Commissions cycle. This year, Rhizome will expand our scope beyond a strict focus on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art. This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies, as well as works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices. Seven new art works will be selected, and awards range from $3000-$5000. The deadline for proposals is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008. Rhizome members are eligible to survey the entries and participate in our community vote, which will determine two of the seven commissions. The first phase of voting begins on April 1.

cynet.jpgCYNETart 08 - International competition for computer-based art :: Deadline: March 22, 2008 :: Festival: October 30 - November 9, 2008, Festspielhaus Hellerau :: Awards ceremony: October 30, 2008, Festspielhaus Hellerau.

The festival will present projects which stand out because of their integrated tie-in of art, science and media technology. The art processes are based on modern computer technology and last but not least a work resulting from media operations. They are essentially seeking a cross-link to scientific and artistic forms of art.

TMA Hellerau hosts this international competition of CYNETart, inviting artists and art groups to present their projects every two years. They can apply with projects that fully utilise digital technologies in their conceptual, creative and performing processes, thereby opening up opportunities for digital performance and their relationship to factors such as time, space, physical presence and social encounters. An international jury with representatives from well-established media culture institutions and experienced scientists with a background in media art history will decide about the winner of the CYNETart-award and the sponsorship award. It will also decide on the award of the artist-in-residence-scholarship funded by the ministry of culture.

Apart from the awards ceremony and presentation of CYNETart-award-winning projects the Dresden House of Arts will exhibit the entries of the CYNETart-contest 2008 and the festival theatre Hellerau will stage topical performances and performance installations of the international scene. Well-known and popular activities of the festival include the integration of projects from the Dresden Innovations Fund for Art and Media Technology, the nationwide multi-media contest MB21 as well as on-stage acting at further physical and virtual locations.

concretestream.jpgconcreteSTREAM is an experimental netcasting platform for live multi-location artist collaborations using low and high bandwidth including Internet 2. concreteSTREAM also invites Guest Curators for free live netcast programs, lectures and symposium panels. Baltimore MD, 2001-present.

After ten years of the emergence of the world wide web, artists have consistently sought to describe its ability through metaphor, material, and social means, such as creating a place of community beyond the borders of politicians and their regulations. Imagining the Internet as a live, emergent poem, or an on-going platform toward explorations of the Internet as material is the mission of concreteSTREAM. In the tradition of music concrete, concrete poetry, and concrete video, concreteSTREAM seeks to understand and define the possibilities of time and geography on the internet through streaming technologies.

concreteSTREAM is an international netcast of artists works, discussions of artists works, and experimental live exchanges on the internet. These projects offer a platform of interactive discussion, as well as a venue for live and recorded experiments in performance, video, intermedia and intervention art between artists and theorists throughout the world. Three areas of research activities define concreteSTREAM:

1. Streaming live panels and lectures of artists, activists and theorists. This area includes invited panels and regular visiting artists lecture series at UMBC.

2. concreteSTREAM netcasts firstTHURSDAYS where the first Thursday between 4-5pm each month during Fall/Spring season will offer a special topic video series by a Guest Curator.

3. concreteSTREAM engages in experimental live exchanges with similar creative research organizations for 2-way live events between locations, using low-bandwidth and Internet 2.

situatedadv.jpgSituated Technologies Pamphlet 3: Situated Advocacy :: CALL FOR PROPOSALS :: Deadline for abstracts: February 15, 2008.

The Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series invites submissions for its upcoming volume on Situated Advocacy. Advocacy is the act of arguing on behalf of a particular issue, idea or person, and addresses issues including self-advocacy, environmental protection, the rights of women, youth and minorities, social justice, the re-structured digital divide and political reform. How might Situated Technologies be mobilized toward changing and/or influencing social or political policies, practices, and beliefs? What new forms of advocacy are enabled by contemporary location-based or context-aware media and information systems? How might they lend tactical support to the process of managing information flows and disseminating strategic knowledge that influences individual behavior or opinion, corporate conduct or public policy and law?

Submission details: We are seeking submissions from pairs of authors, in keeping with the format of a conversation between two individuals or groups. Please submit a 500 word abstract and short bio for each author (150 words max) in Rich Text Format (RTF) by February 15, 2008 to editors@situatedtechnologies.net. We expect final manuscripts will range from 7500-10,000 words and will be due by May 16, 2008. Please contact us if you have questions about potential essays or the Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series in general.

About the Series: The Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series consists of nine short pamphlets to be published over the next three years, exploring the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism: how our experience of space and the choices we make within it are affected by a range of mobile, pervasive, embedded or otherwise situated technologies. The series, published via print-on-demand (POD), consists of a succession of conversations between researchers, writers and other practitioners from architecture, art, science and technology studies, comparative media study, performance studies, and engineering.

Series Editors: Omar Khan, Trebor Scholz, Mark Shepard

Advisory Committee: Keller Easterling, Anne Galloway, Malcolm McCullough, Howard Rheingold

Publisher: The Architectural League of New York.

blueskytrainalone.jpgSonic Fragments: Narrative and Mediation in Sound Art :: Princeton University, Princeton, NJ :: March 28-29, 2008 :: Call for Works: Deadline: February 15, 2008

We hear while we are in the womb, long before we see. For the rest of our lives, hearing essentially precedes the rest of the sensorium, as we move through a world of sonic fragments which affect us phenomenally and emotionally but of which we are often unaware. These fragments are mediated by our environment, our bodies, our individual and collective memories, and the technologies that pervade contemporary life: from books to radio to television to iPods. Through these mediations sounds give rise to stories, which though they might be as hazy as an aura, begin to narrate the world we move through as they themselves move through our bodies and minds.

Sonic Fragments is a sound art festival and symposium exploring how these mediations effect meaning in our lives, and how artists are actively engaging narrative and mediation in their work. We are hoping for a diverse and interdisciplinary dialogue between scholars and artists, between theory and practice.

Central to the festival will be the presentation of works written specifically for mobile mp3 players which engage the spaces, places, objects, and paths on or near the Princeton University campus. We are soliciting works of ten minutes or less. These works will be available on mp3 players at a kiosk throughout the festival, downloadable from the festival website, and may also be compiled onto a limited edition CD-R for later distribution.

Sound works may be created for any location on or near campus. We are hoping that people will engage Princeton’s weird nooks and crannies as well as its wonderful art collection, perhaps atop one of the many Neogothic towers, inside Henry Moore’s sculpture Oval with Points, or in front of Ellen Gallagher’s large-scale Blubber. We hope that each piece will exhibit a distinct relationship to its site. Existing works which are not site-specific will not be considered.

A few resources to help you find a site:

Most crucially, you must visit and just poke around. New Jersey Transit (about 1 hr, 15 minutes from NYC) http://www.njtransit.com.

For the last ten years New York City's Art in General has been host to an annual Video Marathon – a weekend-long intensive look at the state of video art. The next in a line of guest curators to produce the event, Norwegian independent curator Hanne Mugaas has been chosen to organize this year's 10th Year Anniversary edition. Mugaas' inclusive approach to video, which extends beyond the confines of tape and dvd, is indicative of a new generation of curators identified by artist Olia Lialina in her essay "Flat Against the Wall" (2007) as those who "studied JODI at University". (JODI being the seminal computer art collective who emerged in the mid-90s.) As such, the Marathon frames video as an ideology and process that cover a selection of practices, including work on the web. Over the weekend, Art In General's galleries will host ongoing exhibitions, as well as screenings and lectures. The first exhibition, Artist Looking at the Camera, curated by Mugaas and Fabienne Stephan, is an examination of video as a conceptual forum for the production and distribution of facts and history. The second exhibition, Transitional Objects, curated by Thomas Beard, considers the fluidity of electronic art within political, aesthetic, and technological realms over the last decade. Critic Ed Halter's lecture Regarding Jeff's People takes Jeff Krulik's cult documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986) as an entry point into a discussion of public access television, underground VHS bootlegging, and the formation of subjectivity within fan culture. Mugaas and artist Cory Arcangel will present their performance/lecture Art Since 1960 (According to the Internet), which pieces together the past 48 years of art history through its fragmented representation on the web. And in a performance entitled Flipped Chips, artist collective Lovid, whose live shows involve manipulating audio and video, will frame their own work within that of video art pioneers, such as Dan Sandin, Nam June Paik, Steina and Woody Vasulka, who created image processors long before Apple made solarizing easy for the rest of us to do. The Marathon begins January 10th--see the website for details. – Caitlin Jones

inclusiva.jpgINCLUSIVA-NET: Digital Networks and Physical Space :: Open Call - Deadline: January 30, 2008 :: The purpose of this open participation meeting is to explore the relationship between digital networks and physical space in the context of the increasingly widespread use of portable technology and Web applications in connection with the production and management of geographic information.

In this meeting, the impact of these devices and platforms on the development of new dynamics and experiences of communicative interaction will be analyzed from the perspective of a broad range of fields including art, anthropology, journalism, politics, sociology, and urban development.

Core topics suggested for this meeting are:

-New social habits on Web 2.0 related to physical space and geo-localization. The formation of participatory media contents based on spatial annotation: georeferencing and geotagging. Artistic and critical analysis proposals related to these fields.

-The development of geographic information systems in Web circles.

Technological and social foundations of the emerging Geospatial Web and Geosemantic Web.

-The design of alternative “geobrowsers” to use and manage geospatial data and geotagged information.

- Bases of the local Web 2.0. “Urban markup” proposals on social networks.

- Sharing collective, localized memories. Applications in the field of education.

-The evolution of open source types of cartographic and mapping tools, and of geosoftware production communities.

-Blogs referring to contextual, specific places and areas (place blogging) and hyperlocal journalism. Socializing and critical potentials in the development of hyperlocal networks.

-Projects for mobile networks and wireless local networks. Augmented reality projects based on network environments and their potential for developing a new type of participatory digital urban development.

-Locative media and network systems. Locative art and locative gaming projects related to collaborative forms and social interaction via the Web or through other interconnected networks.

(Important note: In addition to the above mentioned core topics, other work or research will be considered for inclusion in the meeting related to other areas proposed by the artists and/or researchers, provided that those proposals contribute to the overall theme of this meeting.)

Call: There are two ways to participate in the meeting (not mutually exclusive):

- Presenting a project to develop within the production workshop. [ver convocatoria]
- Sending a paper for its public presentation during the meeting. [ver convocatoria]

Introductory text by Juan Martmn Prada (director of the Inclusiva-net plattform)

The relationship between digital and physical spaces is becoming increasingly important in the development of new technological applications.

Just as several years ago, portable communication systems like mobile phones and electronic organizers began to incorporate visual tools such as photographic and video cameras, nowadays they also include GPS devices that provide geo-localization coordinates.

Meanwhile, on the Internet, huge breakthroughs are occurring in the development of applications related to geographic information systems; that is, systems that manage geographically referenced information using data bases usually associated to digital maps.
That is why geotagging activities have become increasingly common on Web 2.0; that is, assigning spatial coordinates or physical location data to certain files, such as georeferencing photographs on platforms including Flickr, Mappr, and Google Earth, or assigning geographic identifiers to texts and phrases, even video and audio documents. The popularization of “annotating the world” activities is unquestionably one of the key processes in the evolution of the current Web toward the formation of what many people are already calling the geospatial web. Widespread use is being made of the
term: “Earth as Universal Desktop”.

Clearly, the desire to know more about the geographic spaces around us, the place where we live or that we are travelling through, as well as the people who live there or travel through them has found one of its most active development channels in the participatory technologies that characterize social networks, laying the foundations for what we could call “the local Web 2.0″. Some of the best possible examples of this drive to re-territorialize that comprises a large part of current online dynamics are the open, communicative practices focused on the lived experience of a place that are being carried out at present in hyperlocal journalism and place blogging (a term commonly used to refer to blogs centred on events, news, and people in a specific local area such as a neighbourhood or a small town). The recent addition of some aggregators and search engines on placeblogs are proof of the growing importance of this form of relationship and the complementary nature of the communicative space on networks and the physical space we inhabit.

Artistic and experimental practices linked to what in 2003 began to be called “locative media” demonstrate an intensely critical reaction to the globalizing dislocation and the loss of any geographic or political context, which has long been associated with the experience of connecting to the Internet. Using all kinds of mobile and wireless technologies and computer localization devices, many artistic manifestations today are attempting to reconfigure the physical spatial contexts of communication and interaction among people.

Many artistic proposals use mapping, geo-annotation, localization, spatial mobility, or mixed reality games strategies to call for a new convergence between the digital space of networks and the actual territory. They are always dependent on specific social and geographic contexts and serve as the first glimpse of what we might call a new participatory digital type of urban development.

inter_res9.jpgInternet Research 9.0: Rethinking Community, Rethinking Place - International and Interdisciplinary Conference Association of Internet Researchers (A.o.I.R) :: Copenhagen, Denmark :: Workshops / Doctoral Colloquium: October 15, 2008 :: A.o.I. R conference: October 16–18, 2008 :: Deadline: February 8, 2008.

In the past few years, new forms of net-based communities are emerging, distributed on various websites and services, and making use of several media platforms and genres to stay connected. Now, as mobile and location-based technologies are reintroducing “place” as an important aspect in the formation of communal and social activities, it is time to consider and rethink the concept of online or virtual communities. Not forgetting the lessons we have learned from studying the early virtual communities, how do we describe, analyse, theorise and design the communities and social formations of the early 21st century? How do we address the blurring of boundaries between places and communities on- and offline.

We call for papers, panel proposals, and presentations from any discipline, methodology, and community, and from conjunctions of multiple disciplines, methodologies and academic communities that address the conference themes.

Sessions at the conference will be established that specifically address the conference themes, and we welcome innovative, exciting, and unexpected takes on those themes. We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and/or aesthetic aspects of the Internet beyond the conference themes. In all cases, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well as international collaborations from both AoIR and non-AoIR members.

Submissions: We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions. We welcome proposals for traditional academic conference papers, but we also encourage proposals for creative or aesthetic presentations that are distinct from a traditional written ‘paper.’ We also welcome proposals for ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS that will focus on discussion and interaction among conference delegates, as well as organized PANEL PROPOSALS that present a coherent group of papers on a single theme.

Submission requirements: All papers and presentations in this session will be reviewed in the normal manner. Further information will be available via the conference submission website, accessible from January 2008 through the website.

Format:

- Papers (individual or multi-author): submit abstract of 600-800 words
- Creative or aesthetic presentations: submit abstract of 500-750 words
- Papel proposal: submit a 600-800 word description of the panel theme, plus 250-500 word abstract for each paper or presentation
- Round-table proposal: submit a statement indicating the nature of the roundtable discussion and interaction

Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of multiple blind peer review, coordinated and overseen by the Program Chair. Each individual is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1 presentation. A person may also propose a panel session, which may include a second paper that they are presenting. An individual may also submit a roundtable proposal. You may be listed as co-author on additional papers as long as you are not presenting them.

Publication of papers - Several publishing opportunities are expected to be available through journals, including a special issue of Information, Communication & Society, based on peer-review of full papers. The final version of the website, available in early 2008, will contain more details.

Graduate students - Graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit proposals. Any student paper is eligible for consideration for the AoIR graduate student award. Students wishing to be a candidate for the Student Award must send a final paper by June 30, 2008.

Ph.D. students will also want to consider participating in the Doctoral Colloquium. Following the very successful examples of previous Doctoral Colloquia, we will again aim to offer an all-day Doctoral Colloquium on October 15th 2008 (Wednesday) for Ph.D. students who wish to present their current work for critical evaluation by their peers and senior scholars. Submission and registration details will be available on the conference website as soon as possible.

Deadlines:

Submission site available: January 10th, 2008
Paper Proposal submission deadline: February 8th, 2008
Presenter notification: March 31, 2008
Workshop submission: March 31, 2008
Submission for student award competition: June 30, 2008
