[NetBehaviour] [Fwd: Sound Development City 2014: Call for Projects]
Hiyas! Might interest some here..(??) Cheers! aharon xx Original Message SOUND DEVELOPMENT CITY Sound Development City ( was initiated in 2012 by Sound Development with the aim of providing creative freedom to artists working in various disciplines. Every year in late summer, Sound Development City sends ten artists on a three-week-long expedition between two European cities. During the expedition, the artists work on individual projects, explore new cities, cultures, and different living environments, and establish new connections. Sound Development City is an adventure, a place for experimentation, and a research trip. The expedition gives artists time â time for processes to develop, for experimentation, for taking new paths â but also going astray, and for detecting and discovering the unexpected. SUMMER EXPEDITION 2014: RIGA â HELSINKI The expedition (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=46a7d4716a7635def0f8 ) 2014 will explore the cities of Riga, Helsinki and the Baltic Sea area. We are looking for interventions, sound surveys, performances, experiments, and artistic research projects that will benefit from being on the road, and will probe urban environments as sites of both playfulness as well as social involvement. Riga and Helsinki serve as resonating urban spaces, as work material, sources of inspiration, and playground for public presentations. Each edition of Sound Development City follows a specific thematic focus. Participants are selected through an open call. Sound Development City 2014 is seeking projects that engage with theme Mind the Gap! in an independent and dedicated manner. MIND THE GAP! The gap, it seems, is everywhere: between here and there, me and you, yesterday and today, between Riga and Helsinki. It can cleave and unite; one either trips over or is inclined to leap. In fact these gaps carve out a proverbial space that can be used creatively and become a new artistic reality. On that note, Mind the Gap! (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=f98cea046f46c5b8e4b9 ) should be understood as an invitation to look inward and sharpen the senses to subtle in-between states, recognize ruptures, transitions and no-manâs-land.Sound Development City is looking for project proposals and work theses that comply with the invitation to Mind the Gap! and that could utilize the three-week expedition from Riga to Helsinki for realizing these endeavors.APPLY NOW! Artists working in all disciplines can apply through the open call process (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=fdbdb7092343ded730b0 ) . The key requirements are curiosity, openness to experimentation, process-oriented work, and adventurousness. We also welcome an inter-disciplinary approach and readiness to collaborate. The expedition format itself is meant both as practical instructions as well as metaphor. Sound Development City is a studio on the road, a research trip for artists and their projects. An international Jury of five will select about 10 participants from the submitted applications. The juryâs decision will be made public no later than May 30, 2014. Application details: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=ad0538cd15a9c0bdc867 (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=ad0538cd15a9c0bdc867 ) Application deadline: April 25, 2014 Application contact: c...@sound-development-city.com (Link: c...@sound-development-city.com ) PROJECT DETAILS Sound Development City is made possible by (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=60e092d546d6a0a184ac )Sound Development (Link: http://mailer.e-artnow.org/?RDCT=60e092d546d6a0a184ac ) .

[NetBehaviour] Piet Zwart Institute, Media Design MA - final deadline for applications
The PIET ZWART INSTITUTE MASTER IN MEDIA DESIGN (LENS-BASED / NETWORKED MEDIA) is an intensive project-based research degree that will equip you to create a distinctive voice as an artist/designer in the contemporary media landscape. The course encourages students to explore the new possibilities released by the friction between media forms, critically working across the historical gaps between photography, cinema, animation, mobile media, information systems and technological networks. This course does not believe in old media and new media, nor in the pattern of media extinctions that punctuate traditional media histories: we believe in the cross fertilisation of a thriving media ecology. Digital media can be thought of as a field in which radically different materialities of software, interface and human behaviour are being brought together for the first time. This is often experienced as tensions between computer code and the images that this code generates but does not explain; a tension between abstract symbols and concrete models, between concept and sensation. This course does not try to resolve these tensions but uses them to stimulate new ways to think about how we might live with information today. The following principles are central to the course: the placing of equal value on artistic forms including moving image production, data driven and network based art and cross-platform approaches such as transmedia narrative. a strong emphasis on providing students with basic technological skills ranging from computer programming to the cinematography, synthesis and manipulation of digital imagery, from beginners to advanced levels. a critical engagement with Open Source and Free Software development, especially in its implicit “hacker” attitude to opening up media for experimental purposes. the integration of theoretical inquiry, critical analysis and studio based practice into research methodologies that can support artists practice and artistic research. Based in Rotterdam, our recently expanded department is part of a leading international centre for the study of art, design and media, housed in a dedicated building with its own studios, facilities and project spaces. The Piet Zwart Institute enjoys strong links with a range of organisations, from established contemporary arts galleries and science museums to independent arts spaces and a regular presence in the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The course is taught by staff with international reputations in their respective fields and in addition we invite a wide range of international practitioners and theorists as guest lecturers and tutors. Application Deadlines Based on merit, places will be filled from the first deadline onwards, therefore early submissions are encouraged. Priority deadline - Non European and European students: January 31 2014 Second deadline - Non European and European students: March 3 2014 Third and final deadline - For European students only: April 1st 2014 Tuition Fees European students - For EU/EEA students (who apply for their first master course in the Netherlands), the annual tuition fee for the full-time course in 2014/15 is 1,906 Euros. The annual tuition fee for the part-time course is 1,576 Euros. Non European students - For non-EU/EEA students, the fee for the full-time and part-time course in 2014/15 is 9,400 Euros.

[NetBehaviour] Polytech.Science.Art
Hi Netbehaviour subscribers! Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Russia, announces the launch of 'Polytech.Science.Art' program dedicated to one of the most significant phenomenon of contemporary culture – interdisciplinary collaboration between artists, scientists and technology specialists. In the 21st century the division between science and art is being overcome successfully: artists tend to use cutting edge technologies in their work, not merely a dialogue between art and scientific community is being observed, but creative collaboration yielding unexpected, prominent results as well. Thanks to the great advance of science and technology, the worldview has been changing dramatically, that has had its effect on the outlook, on the treatment of the verges of possibility. Methods used in contemporary art objects creation and in the field of scientific innovations intersect and complement each other, communication between artists, scientists and technology specialists kick-starts the development of common space of ideas and discoveries. Polytechnic Museum plans to support the development of that promising cultural movement and create a platform for innovation activities, collaborative projects, information exchange between artists and scientists and technology specialists of different fields in future. In 2010-2011 Polytechnic Museum in Moscow presented a number of experimental projects together with artscience curators and artists working in Russia (in particular, the exhibitions Columbus’s Egg (Laboratoria ArtScience Space, Moscow), Illusion. From a Fair Sideshow to the Media Installation (NCCA, Nizhny Novgorod) and Mythology Online). In the historical building of the Polytechnic Museum the international symposium “Brainstorms. The Artist in the Context of Neuroscience“ was also conducted in 2012 (curator – Daria Parkhomenko). 'Polytech.Science.Art' program starts in 2014 with a series of workshops and lectures of international and Russian experts, artists, researchers, including influential representatives of science art, the experts acknowledged by international scientific community and granted with numerous awards and prizes, as well as young professionals. Many of them will present their projects in Russia for the first time. 'Polytech.Science.Art' program experts will help to formulate a comprehensive idea on the synthesis of science, art and technology as an artistic method, a space for innovation, will present art projects showing scientific and technological approaches, innovative methods. The experts and Russian participants' collaboration results will be not only of artistic, but also theoretical significance as every project of the program is a research of interaction between science, art and technology. 'Polytech.Science.Art' in 2014 is a unique series of workshops embracing such scientific disciplines as information technology, neurobiology, physics, psychoacoustics, fibertronics and others. Each workshop lasts from 3 to 5 days and consists of lecture and practical sessions. There will be open call before every workshop to select from 8 to 15 participants. For those who is selected by the experts, participation is free of charge. In the end of each event an open-attendance presentation (exhibition, performance) will be held. Open access will be provided for a number of lectures within the framework of the program. The first workshop opening the program is OTHERNET by Danja Vasiliev. It starts on March 19 until March 21 at the ARTPLAY Design Center. Danja Vasiliev is a Russian media artist based in Berlin. Danja has been awarded by the Europe’s most representative new technologies art award Prix Ars Electronica in the nomination Cyberart (Newstweek project). Danja Vasiliev’s OTHERNET workshop debuted in January, 2014 in Berlin during Transmediale, one of the largest festivals of digital art and technology advancements. OTHERNET is dedicated to information technology in arts, tactics and technical realization of independent, hidden networks, avant-garde media and hacktivism within the framework of “Post-Internet now” concept.

[NetBehaviour] PERMANENT DEVIATION
Hi all On Friday March 14 @ VIVO Media Arts, we are launching PERMANENT DEVIATION, an online Processing compiler and simultaneous participatory exhibition space conceived by JULIE GENDRON. Please see below for more details. I thought this event might of interest to the subscribers of this mailing list based in Vancouver or elsewhere! ***Please note that people who cannot attend are welcome to participate by going to the site (http://permanentdeviation.com) on the night of the event to add their own code or watch the coding LIVE. ~ Jesse PERMANENT DEVIATION Opening: FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2014 / 8pm-12am (PST) Website launch and live art coding http://vivomediaarts.com/event/permanent-deviation PERMANENT DEVIATION (http://permanentdeviation.com) is an online Processing compiler and simultaneous participatory exhibition space conceived by JULIE GENDRON in association with BRADY MARKS. Permanent Deviation provides an online space that can be described as an exquisite corpse, graffiti wall, training ground for making generative art using the Processing* programming language. Coders must use the code of the last participant in a set amount of time to generate a new art object. In this way, each participant’s code acts as the baseline from which the next coder has to work. The site will be officially launched at VIVO on March 14, 2014 in the Video Bar. JESSE SCOTT and JULIE GENDRON will co-curate an evening of live art generation where any coders at the opening or around the world can take over the site and change the canvas. JULIE GENDRON is a designer and artist who works in the areas of interactivity, access, playfulness and change. Julie designs and facilitates experiences that allow people to explore and create their own point of view, culture and communities through her participatory art practice. This project is one in a series of structural artworks that is intended to be completed by its viewers. Other works can be seen here: http://desiringproductions.com *Processing is a generative programming language typically used for the purpose of art making. It is normally executed in a client-side application but this project uses the processing.js library to allow it to be used online. This project was developed with the participation of Creative BC and the British Columbia Arts Council.
