Apologies for cross posting ------------------------------------------- Trampoline presents 'First Play Berlin'
Thursday 12th October 2006 Hebbel am Ufer Berlin www.trampoline-berlin.de Call for Submissions Deadline: 20th August The Theme We are living in a reality where our physical environment has been pervaded by invisible streams of data, enabling our local geography to connect with remote spaces. This multitude of physical and virtual layers of existence challenges our sense of place and presence. A space is more than one space; the virtual has inextricably entered the realm of the real. ?First Play Berlin? is exploring the makeup of this ?mixed reality?, asking how it has changed the way we perceive space and how we negotiate our cities. The bigger Context This one-night Trampoline platform event forms part of the curated programme First Play Berlin taking place from 28th September to 21st October 2006. First Play Berlin brings new international artworks and performances to Berlin that explore the city through intervention, participation and mapping. International artists Blast Theory, Active Ingredient, Daniel Belasco Rogers, Michelle Teran, Simon Heijdens and Frank Abbott are being featured each with their interpretation of mixed reality, overlaying the static, physical infrastructure of the city with desperate narratives, auto-generated game worlds, ghost buildings and displaced landscapes. All works can be described as live media art, a new arts practice in which the two fields of performance and new media are entering a dialogue. With this, traditional concepts of performance, installation or gaming are overcome offering the audience a participatory experience, blurring the distinction between 'performer' and 'audience'. Engagement with the public will take place on several levels, from direct communication with performers to accessing a performance through one's mobile phone. Some of the art works will take the form of a citywide game, some of them will be performance-walks through the city, some will simply be projected onto walls, becoming part of the visual architecture of the city. What they will share is an artists' reworking of the city connecting with the experiences of the people that live there. What we are looking for Trampoline welcomes artists working with digital video, multimedia performance, streaming, experimental sound, interactive journeys and installation to submit a piece of work that reflects on the notion of multiple space and connected city to exhibit or perform during the Trampoline night on October 12th.
