ambit Drift: Call For Participation
++ Drift: Sound Art + Experimental Music Call For Participation ++ New Media Scotland calls for participation for Drift - an exploration of sound art and experimental music which comprises live events, radio broadcasts, moving image and publications. The accessibility of the Internet together with new tools and methods for digital recording, manipulation, reproduction and distribution have changed forever the way that we think about and interact with sound, giving us new ways to communicate our ideas. An increasing number of artists, producers, DJ's and sonic creators, from a broad spectrum of disciplines and varying modes of practice, are exploring streaming media as a viable format. We want to open up this channel further. We are offering four opportunities to take part in Drift, details follow. Further information, guidelines and application forms available from the Drift web site: http://www.mediascot.org/drift Drift Radio Art Commission 2003 New Media Scotland invites proposals for radio art projects for Drift. We aim to commission a new radio art work for broadcast both online and on-air, via audio streaming and FM transmission. Fee - £1,000 Support - We will provide practical assistance, access to streaming media tools, and can offer some limited technical support on a negotiated basis. New Media Scotland will facilitate the broadcast of the commissioned work.

New Media Scotland will facilitate the broadcast of your programmes. Eligibility - Open to artists, musicians, producers based in Scotland and the UK Guidelines and Programme Summary form available from http://www.mediascot.org/drift ++ Resonant Cities: Call for Sound Works ++ New Media Scotland seeks sound works for 'Resonant Cities': Internet radio streaming that explore the sonic identity of our surrounding space and that engage with the fragmented 'noise' of the city soundscape: people, traffic, communication intrusions, mobile phones, radio traffic, city wildlife, buildings... We are particularly interested in audio works which involve one or several of the following ideas or processes: - Acoustic Ecology - Acousmatics - Phonography - Sonic research - Radio art, Internet radio - Microsound - Lowercase sound - Internet communication media and audio streaming - Electronic communities - Artists' software for sound and music - Sound work developed using open source processes and principles - Generative sound - Sound archives - Spoken word / oral history - Field recordings - The re-purposing / representing of existing analogue sound recordings, such as amateur recordings, scientific recordings, and accidental, lost or abandoned recordings - The works selected by the Drift team will then be curated into themed streams that will be available via this web site. Our intention is to expand the audience for the work, encourage appreciation of sound art, and broaden access to a genre which is too often labelled as esoteric and inaccessible. We cannot pay a fee for this opportunity, but we will facilitate the broadcast of your work. Eligibility - Open to artists, musicians, producers in the UK and across the globe. Guidelines and submission form available from http://www.mediascot.org/drift +++ Drift Touring Video Programme: Call for Moving Image Works +++ New Media Scotland seeks sound-based moving image works for Drift.

In the current discussions around this topic, it is innovation that plays a key role rather than purely technological development. It is often at the crossroads of different disciplines that the most creative projects arise. And when it comes to this kind of interdisciplinary innovation the Netherlands is a leading player. The e-culture fair, which takes place this October in Amsterdam, is a unique event, bringing together international research projects that cross the boundaries between culture, industry, education and science. The 'state of the art' work in the field of new media is showcased in 35 projects which combine installation, performance and presentation - demos of alternative approaches to ways of living, communicating, learning and working. The emphasis is on hands-on activities and the visitors to the fair are challenged to test out the prototypes on offer. Zones The human factor is central to innovative new media research. This is reflected in the three zones of the fair. The first, My-Mode, brings together technology and the body, as close to the user as you can get. Toys4Us focuses on the human need for contact with others and social interaction. In Mobile Home, the third zone, the emphasis is on the connection with others who are not physically present. Some of the institutions presenting at the fair include the Interaction Design Institute IVREA (Italy), Media Lab Europe (Ireland) and MARSlab (Germany). More information is available at www.e-culturefair.nl http://www.e-culturefair.nl or call +31 20 6273758 Presentations For more background information and thematic grouping of the diverse work on offer, the researchers have been invited to give a series of presentations. These will be grouped according to the following four themes: * Innovative tools for learning * Wearable technologies, sensory tools and performance * Mobile communication in public spaces * Content management systems, online publishing tools and interfaces for streaming media They will be introduced by leading international commentators in the field. A detailed programme can be found on our website. e-culture conference Melkweg, 24th October A one-day working conference is planned for the second day of the fair. It brings together a cross-section of researchers, commentators and policy-makers from a variety of disciplines related to new media research and development. The focus is on assessing the added value of the creative sector in new media RD, and on practical solutions to stimulate further innovation in the field, with a particular emphasis on co-operation, legal issues and funding. The keynote speaker is Sara Diamond (artistic director of media and visual arts and media at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada).
