As I began this review I began to think that the refrain “we are 
surrounded by images today” has lost its impact (despite my being among 
the guilty users of it). On the one hand, it seems that many of us 
notice the imagery. Yet, on the other hand, as we increasingly engage 
with our visual culture certain norms for our critical investigations 
are also developing. I’m not sure where this leaves us. To be sure, the 
nature and complexity of our image-abundant culture is extraordinary. 
Images are no longer sparse and highly treasured. Rather, we have visual 
social media, scientific imaging tools, and even static objects like 
paintings populate the ever-changing screens of our mobile and desktop 
devices. Even those among us who have resisted some of the broad 
spectrum of electronic options (think Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, 
thousands of television channels, digital games, and virtual worlds) 
cannot escape this new world. Posters and window displays offer 
smartcodes that invite us to connect with the Internet and learn more 
about whatever the sign is promoting. Always on, complete with sound, 
are television screens in airports, restaurants and the array of imaging 
devices that bring us news, sports, entertainment, whatever. Given the 
state of the “image” today, critical examination of channels of media 
and communication are needed. Imagery in the 21st Century, edited by 
Oliver Grau with Thomas Veigl, presents a number of perspectives on this 
theme, highlighting the inroads of media into art and science. It is a 
valuable contribution to the topic.

[NetBehaviour] Call for projects: VIDA 14.0 Art and Artificial Life International Awards

2012-04-23 Thread monica bello
VIDA, the Art and Artificial Life International Awards begun in 1999 by 
Fundación Telefónica, was created with the mission of supporting creative 
endeavours in this singular field by rewarding the pioneering efforts of 
artists. We are now pleased to announce the launch of the VIDA 14.0, which for 
the last 14 years have been rewarding artistic projects developed with 
technological media that offer innovative insights into the study of artificial 
life.

At a time when the concept of life finds itself once again in uncharted 
territory, a wide range of artistic initiatives attempt to illustrate and 
explore this phenomenon, examining its impact on our collective consciousness 
and how it affects the cultural, technological and social mindset.

Over the past decade, VIDA has welcomed a variety of interdisciplinary projects 
that respond to this situation and brought them together in a single forum. 
Using formal strategies that push the boundaries between existing practices, 
these projects offer new perspectives that force us to reconsider our 
pre-existing notions of life and artificial life.

What types of projects receive a VIDA 14.0?
The VIDA Award is granted to artistic creations developed using artificial life 
technology. Among the projects submitted to VIDA, the artists’ ties to this 
theme and their choice of media are very diverse. Throughout its history, the 
competition has welcomed proposals that challenge the boundary between living 
and non-living, between natural and synthetic, either by juxtaposing both 
realities or by creating overlapping spaces for reflection.
The winning projects include robotic systems, immersive installations, online 
video games, autonomous self-organising devices and evolutionary indicators. 
Another common characteristic of past winners is the use of interactive and 
immersive installations—a response to today’s environment of technological 
entities—which attempt to communicate with visitors by making them part of the 
system. Chimerical devices that combine natural and artificial elements, 
telepresence systems, network structures that operate as artificial 
intelligences, invasive dynamics of increasing complexity and acumen—these are 
just some of the themes addressed by the artists who participate in VIDA. From 
the very first edition to the present day, we have rewarded artists who have 
applied traditional artificial life technologies to their work, such as 
cellular automata, autonomous agents, neural networks, robotics, interactive 
systems, virtual ecologies and evolving software. What all of these projects 
have in common is that they involve emergent behaviours which grow more 
sophisticated over time, react with their environment and seem to show signs of 
autonomous life.
In recent years we have observed an increasing hybridisation of media and 
formats among the projects submitted to VIDA, which has led us to advocate the 
category’s expansion in order to trace the evolution of this field. The 
competition has gradually extended its scope, maintaining its interest in 
projects that involve conventional artificial life research while also 
venturing into new, cutting-edge territories such as life sciences and 
environmental sciences. In short, we could say that VIDA rewards artistic 
projects that are related to any dynamic life process affected by simulation.

As in previous years, contestants are invited to submit proposals in one of two 
categories:
CATEGORY “FINALISED PROJECTS”
In this category, Vida 14.0 rewards artistic artificial life projects developed 
after the year 2010. A total of 40,000 euros will be divided among the three 
winning projects chosen by the jury: First Prize: 18,000 euros; Second Prize: 
14,000 euros; Third Prize: 8,000 euros. Seven honorary mentions will also be 
awarded to projects chosen by the jury from among the finalists.
CATEGORY “INCENTIVES FOR PRODUCTION
In this category, Vida 14.0 helps to finance artistic artificial life projects 
that have not yet been produced. It is reserved for artists who are citizens or 
residents of any country in Latin America, Spain or Portugal. This category is 
also endowed with 40,000 euros to be divided among the selected projects.
IMPORTANT DATES
Project submissions will be accepted from 23rd April to 30th July 2012.
All projects must be submitted before midnight (Central European Time) on 30th 
July 2012.

JURY
Submitted projects will be reviewed by an international jury consisting of 
Mónica Bello (Spain), Jens Hauser (France), Martin Kaltenbrunner (Austria), 
Karla Jasso (Mexico), Sally Jane Norman (New Zealand/France), Nell Tenhaaf 
(Canada) and Francisco Serrano, Executive Director of Fundación Telefónica.

[NetBehaviour] Berlin April 27th: Artist Talk: John Duncan and Carl MIchael von Hausswolff

2012-04-23 Thread Manuela Benetton
With apologies for cross-posting


*A conversation with artists and composers John Duncan and Carl Michael von
Hausswolff
*
Friday, April 27th  at 7 pm
Liebigstrasse 12 Berlin - Friedrichshain


John Duncan and Carl Michael von Hausswolff will be presenting a selection
of their video works followed by a discussion with the audience.


Screenings:

*ELECTRA, TEXAS 2008 *
Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Thomas Nordanstad - 24:44 min.
Electra is a small, sleepy town with an almost deserted town center, yet
around it the pumpjacks are bringing up the last remaining drops of black
gold in the area. The procedure is the same as in the heydays, before the
depression, when more than 5000 wells and pumpjacks going up and down could
be seen in the fields. Shot in the north of Texas close to the Red River,
in a long, panoramic shots and edited with a slow, bluesy soundtrack,
Electra, Texas 2008, completes a cycle of three individual films “Hashima,
Japan, 2002” and “Al Qasr, Bahriyah Oasis, Egypt 2005”, result of the
collaboration between the artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff and the
filmmaker Thomas Nordanstad. Over the last decade von Hausswolff and
Nordanstad have been collaborating on a series of films documenting post
industrial locations, places that were once looked upon as glorious
examples of mans ability to develop earths natural recourses. Today these
same sites appear as ghost towns, exploited and drained of the wealth that
once surrounded them.
We believe that there is a beauty in just watching life take place. We try
to let the time in the scenes we shoot act as a metaphor for time passing
also in the viewers contemplation, and we hope to make these kind of
“documentary films” as tributes to the people who were and still are
creating these societies. CM von Hausswolff


*THE GARDEN *
John Duncan and Valerio Tricoli 2006 - 20 min.
Produced by John Duncan

The Garden is based on the audio installation with Valerio Tricoli which
was included in the 2006 edition of Eco e Narciso held at the IPCA
Ecomuseum in the province of Turin, a deserted factory complex once
infamous for production methods that directly caused the deaths of several
thousand workers as well as hundreds of residents of the surrounding area.
The town of Cirié acquired the ex IPCA Interchim site and undertook the
difficult task of reclaiming and reconstructing the area, without however
obliterating the historical memory of the site. On the contrary, steps
where taken to ensure that it was turned into a place for remembrance,
admonition and monitoring, in order to never let people go to work unaware
of going daily towards their deaths.


*DREAM HOUSE -- RAGE ROOM*
John Duncan 2010 - 12:54 min.
Produced by Gallery Niklas Belenius

Making-of video for the installation shown at Gallery Niklas Belenius,
Stockholm. RAGE ROOM, part of the DREAM HOUSE, is designed to embody or
evoke a particular state of consciousness, set in an area of the building
that corresponds to its known or suspected location in the brain.




*Carl Michael von Hausswolff *was born in 1956 in Linköping, Sweden. He
lives and works in Stockholm. Since the end of the 1970s, Hausswolff has
worked as a composer using the tape recorder as his main instrument and as
a conceptual visual artist working with performance art, light- and sound
installations and photography. He has shown work in the biennials of
Venice, Moscow, Istanbul, Santa Fe and Liverpool as well as in other
places. His music has been performed at festivals such as Sonar, Ars
Electronica and Stockholm Electronic Music Festival and has been released
on by labels such as Ash International, Errant Bodies, Laton and
RasterNoton. He is the curator of FREQ_OUT which has been shown in Paris,
Berlin, Copenhagen, Chiangmai, Oslo, Budapest and Kortrijk. He is a long
time collaborator with Leif Elggren on the project Elgaland-Vargaland.

cmvonhausswolff.net

*John Duncan* was born in the United States, currently lives and works in
Bologna. His studio releases THE CRACKLING (1996 with Max Springer), TAP
INTERNAL (2000), PALACE OF MIND (2001 with Giuliana Stefani), FRESH (2002
with Zeitkratzer), THE KEENING TOWERS (2003), PHANTOM BROADCAST (2004) and
NINE SUGGESTIONS (2005 with Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen) are all
considered by critics and composers alike to be benchmarks in the field of
experimental sounds and contemporary music. John Duncan portrays his work
as a catalyst, inciting a transmission of energy through which he seeks to
compel the audience to actively participate in the process of investigation
and self-discovery. His lengthy career of electroacoustic intensity and
confrontational performance art events is the result of rigorous
investigations into a number of arcane, metaphysical, and at times
transgressive themes.

[NetBehaviour] TOYBOX at TROVE - call out for toys and short films based on toys

2012-04-23 Thread Antonio Roberts
TROVE call out for toys and short films based on toys
DEADLINE 6th May 2012
Exhibition dates 15th – 23rd June 2012

---

TROVE is an independent art space in Birmingham, UK, which run a
monthly changing programme of contemporary art exhibitions/events.
http://trove.org.uk

In June 2012 TROVE, with Antonio Roberts, are hosting an exhibition
about toys.  This project leads on from the discovery that the
Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, where TROVE is based, used to produce
more ‘toys’ than jewellery, guns or pens; all things it is now more
famously known for producing.  When researching what toys were
produced in this area of Birmingham it was discovered that the term
‘toys’ was used to describe items such as buttons, cuff-links and belt
buckles.

With the misinterpretation of the word ‘toys’ TROVE are looking for
films about actual toys, as is the current understanding of the word,
that have been altered, hacked, modified or electronically changed,
rather than ‘toys’ meaning belt buckles, buttons etc.

TROVE call out for toys

TROVE are inviting you to submit examples of your modified toys to:
anto...@hellocatfood.com

Please email Antonio and include:
* your CV and a short personal statement
* a short description of the work/toys
* links to online footage of the toy is available
* max 6 photographs of the toy/s you are proposing

Notes for application:
* please make sure you can deliver and collect your toys from TROVE;
11th/12th June for drop off and 24th June for collection.
* we will only be accepting applications where toys are battery powered

For further info please contact Antonio on the above email address.


TROVE call out for short films based on toys

TROVE are inviting you to submit examples of films based on the theme
of toys to:

BMW Tate Live Performance Room is a pioneering programme of live 
performances created exclusively for online broadcast, simultaneously 
reaching international audiences across world time zones.


For the second performance in the BMW Tate Live Performance Room, 
Argentinean born artist Pablo Bronstein will premiere, /Constantinople 
Kaleidoscope/, an entirely new work made especially for the BMW Tate 
Live Performance Room. Involving a group of dancers, Bronstein will 
create a baroque trompe l'oeil stage set that exaggerates the 
perspective of the room with mirrored columns. Bronstein uses 
architectural design and drawing to engage with the grandiose and 
imperial past of the built environment and this preoccupation with form 
frequently extends into his live work.


Audiences, who will only be able to view the performances on the 
internet, are invited to enter the online Performance Room via 
www.youtube.com/tate 
http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=230532N=2554L=5063F=H at 
20.00 hrs in the UK and exactly the same moment across time zones on the 
specified dates—16.00 hrs on the East Coast of America, 21.00 hrs in 
mainline Europe and 23.00 hrs in Russia.


The global audience are encouraged to chat with other viewers via social 
media channels and to put questions to the artists or curator following 
it using Tate's social media channels—twitter.com/tate 
http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=230532N=2554L=5058F=H using

http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=230532N=2554L=5060F=H.


The BMW Tate Live Performance Room was inaugurated by French 
choreographer and dancer Jérôme Bel with the work /Shirtology@Tate /on 
22 March/. /Artists Emily Roysdon

http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=230532N=2554L=5061F=H will 
also present works for the BMW Tate Live Performance Room in the coming 
months.


On Thursday 31 May, American artist and writer, Emily Roysdon, explores 
the intersection of choreography and political action through a 
collaborative performance.


Harrell Fletcher's work often takes the form of socially engaged and 
interdisciplinary projects. On Thursday 28 June, for BMW Tate Live, he 
will work with local amateur performers who ordinarily would not be seen 
by the Performance Room's global audience.


The final BMW Tate Live Performance Room in 2012 is by legendary 
performance artist, Joan Jonas.**Since the 1960s, she has been a major 
figure at the forefront of explorations in film, new media and 
performance, transcending genres to develop an influential practice 
rooted in space, movement, ritual and gesture.


This innovative format offers international audiences an opportunity to 
experience performance works through an entirely new mode of 
presentation. Each performance is archived and available to view online 
after the live event.


/BMW Tate Live is a four-year partnership between BMW and Tate, which 
focuses on performance, interdisciplinary art and curating digital 
space. BMW Tate Live: Performance Room is the inaugural strand of the 
partnership and features five commissions in 2012./


/BMW Tate Live is curated by Catherine Wood, Curator, Contemporary Art 
and Performance, Tate, and Kathy Noble, Curator of Interdisciplinary 
Projects, Tate, assisted by Capucine Perrot, Assistant Curator, Tate and 
Julia Crabtree.

 BMW Tate Live Performance Room is a pioneering programme of live
 performances created exclusively for online broadcast, simultaneously
 reaching international audiences across world time zones.

 For the second performance in the BMW Tate Live Performance Room,
 Argentinean born artist Pablo Bronstein will premiere, *Constantinople
 Kaleidoscope*, an entirely new work made especially for the BMW Tate
 Live Performance Room. Involving a group of dancers, Bronstein will create
 a baroque trompe l'oeil stage set that exaggerates the perspective of the
 room with mirrored columns. Bronstein uses architectural design and drawing
 to engage with the grandiose and imperial past of the built environment and
 this preoccupation with form frequently extends into his live work.

 Audiences, who will only be able to view the performances on the
 internet, are invited to enter the online Performance Room via

Anonymous builds its own Pastebin-like site

By Megan Geuss

Hacker group Anonymous and the People's Liberation Front have created a 
data-sharing site called AnonPaste, meant to host pastes of code and 
other messages without any moderation or censorship of the information 
posted. The new site, which uses a free .tk web address, allows users to 
set a time for the paste to expire. It claims that data is encrypted and 
decrypted in the browser using 256 bit AES, so the server doesn't see 
any of the information included in the paste.The site says it's taking 
donations in the form of WePay or BitCoins.

[NetBehaviour] Galloway: 10 Theses on the Digital

2012-04-23 Thread info
Galloway: 10 Theses on the Digital

5pm, Monday 14th May
Room LG02
New Academic Building
Goldsmiths, University of London

Free, All Welcome

Despite being the object of much discussion these days, the digital does 
not often appear in the writings of philosophers, except perhaps when it 
arrives unwittingly under the aegis of another name. The world of 
business consultancy has accepted it, as has the popular and folk 
culture, consumer society, telecommunications, medicine, the arts, and 
of course the spheres of industrial engineering and information 
processing (where it plays a special role). But is there an ontology of 
the digital, or even a philosophy of it? The goal of this project is not 
so much to answer such questions, but to draw up a map for what is 
necessary to answer them, something like a prolegomenon for future 
writing on digitality and philosophy.

What is the digital exactly? The digital means the one dividing into 
two. Its heart lies in metaphysics, and adjacent philosophical systems, 
most importantly dialectics. By comparison, the analogue means the two 
coming together as one. It is found in theories of immanence: either the 
immanence of the total plane of being, or the immanence of the 
individual person or object. Either immanence in its infinity, or 
immanence in its finitude.

The goal, then, is not so much to produce a “philosophy of the digital” 
or even a “digitization of philosophy.” Rather we will explore how 
digitality and philosophy come together, as two modal conditions. They 
exist both in parallel as they diverge and differentiate themselves, but 
also in series as they merge and intermediate. So this project will, if 
it is successful, pay attention to the conceptual requirements of the 
digital (and by contrast the analogue) and the strictures and 
affordances it grants to philosophy.

0-Day Art: saving digital art one torrent at a time

Net pirate provocateurs challenge the monetization of online works

By Joshua Kopstein.

With online storefronts dominating the mobile market, it’s safe to 
assume that most people who own digital devices have some experience 
with the concept of micropayments. But now that we’ve grown accustomed 
to the idea of shelling out tiny nuggets of tribute for things like 
apps, games and music, are we willing to do the same for art?

Art Micro Patronage is hoping for the best. The website, an online 
gallery experimenting with new methods of monetizing artwork that uses 
the internet as a medium, recently launched C.R.E.A.M., its last in a 
series of online exhibitions of animated GIFs, web pages and other 
net-based artwork that asks visitors to contribute small amounts to 
individual works. In doing so, patrons are granted access to them after 
the exhibition “ends” and the works are removed from public viewing.

0-Day Art, a warez release group for internet art, has other ideas. On 
the day of the exhibit’s premiere, the group released a torrent enabling 
all of the featured works, including all those from previous Art Micro 
Patronage exhibits, to be downloaded for free. It wasn’t the first time: 
the torrented exhibits were part of the group’s ongoing efforts to “put 
net art back on the net,” a mission that mixes old-school software 
pirate sensibilities with an underlying drive to preserve digital works 
for the general public, even if that means wresting control of those 
works from the artists themselves.

i'm a bit stunned that they are describing what sounds like
webcasting slightly augmented by social media as an entirely
new mode of presentation ... on their web site, they even
claim it as  the first artistic programme created purely for
live web broadcast.

where have they been for the last 15+ years i wonder???

hi I was at the last one with Jérôme Bell
a remake of one of his old performances (maybe even a recorded video)

the one good thing was they took the public in the chatwindow who asked
questions serious
