Transitio_MX 03: Autonomies of Disagreement New Media Art and Video
International Festival

OPEN CALL


In order to support, acknowledge, and promote current research and 
production in new media art,
Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes through its Centro 
Multimedia of the Centro Nacional
de las Artes calls the local and international artistic community to the 
Third New Media and Art Contest
which will take place in the New Media and Art Video International Festival.

The contest is open to any individual, group and association engaged in 
the production of artwork created
with new media technologies, including video art, sound art, net-art, 
installation, composition, performance and related disciplines.

The Third New Media and Art Contest, Autonomies of Disagreement, 
provides a setting of located practices,
where disagreement allows for dialogue and exchange in the realms of 
local and international new media art.

This international contest is concerned with acknowledging those 
distinct technological displacements
and art’s current status, bearing a particular emphasis on those 
artworks whose technological innovations
and contributions are supported by means that can be used for creation, 
stressing above all a critical perspective.

#1 Residual topography
This category seeks to reveal the discourses pronounced by means of 
obsolete technology (electronic and digital)
and those articulated when contrasting local technologies with high 
technology appropriations. It is open for installation;
interactive, immersed or sound environments; robotic art; hardware 
hacking; circuit bending; physical computing;
site intervention; or any other related disciplines. A single prize will 
be awarded worth $50,000 (Fifty thousand Mexican pesos).
The Jury will decide the honorable mentions granted.

#2 Unusual displacements: the scope of the moving images
In order to analyze the moving images technological reconfigurations 
(and/or its possibilities) and consider its unusual territories, t
his category is intended to welcome artworks that use moving images in 
any of its modalities, be it lineal presentation or interaction:
single channel video, 16mm, live cinema, Vj´s, videogame, mobile video, 
interactive animation, augmented reality, or any other
related disciplines. A single prize will be awarded worth $50,000 (Fifty 
thousand Mexican pesos). The Jury will decide the honorable
mentions granted.


#3Dissident territories: the emergence of technology
In order to explore technological developments that differ from 
industrial ones, this category looks for research and technology
development projects who seek for innovations in the use of digital 
tools and electronic circuits with expressive and experimental
means: free hardware and software, bioethical technology, gadget 
development, applications, devices or any other related disciplines.
A single prize will be awarded worth $50,000 (Fifty thousand Mexican 
pesos). The Jury will decide the honorable mentions granted.

#4 Concealed order: viral construction of web contents
This category will welcome those works whose poetics distinguish or 
surpass conceptions regarding mobile interfaces and
information networks. Those that bear important contributions on 
distribution, expression and collaboration will be more privileged:
internet, bluetooth, GPS, radiofrequency, mobile telephony, infrareds or 
any other related disciplines. A single prize will be awarded
worth $35,000 (Thirty five thousand Mexican pesos). The Jury will decide

Loosely modeled around the format of a science fair, Slade Technology
Fayre is an informal non-hierarchical event, which seeks to gather
skills and experience into the school and escalate the conversation
surrounding work that makes use of technology.

At the Fayre all participants are both teachers and learners. For
people used to presenting work in a critical context this is an
opportunity to take a step back and share information about the
often-invisible activities happening in the computer. For those less
engaged with a critical sphere, the Fayre is an opportunity to get
involved in a discussion about how the work is operating critically as
well as technically

[NetBehaviour] London Festival of Europe

2009-04-29 Thread Olga
The London Festival of Europe starts tomorrow April 30th and comes
with some interesting events. There is for example a discussion on
transnational grassroots politics on May 1st, artistic night
walks/performance across the city, discussions on walking as an
artistic practice...

For more details visit: http://www.euroalter.com/london-festival-of-europe/

SOME EVENTS:

May 1: Locus Solus
Organised by theatre company Out Of the Box, Locus Solus is a
intermedia project exploring the idea of science in relation to
accounts of contemporary and historical utopic imagination. This
performance based installation project draws on the novel Locus Solus
(’Solitary or Unique Place’, 1914) by Raymond Roussel (1877-1933), a
proto-Surrealist text in which a scientist named Martial Canterel fits
out luxurious laboratories in a villa near Paris.

May 1: Midnight Procession
Concluding the performance of Locus Solus, artists, dancers,
musicians, poets, writers, philosophers and other odd characters will
move from London Bridge (assemble outside Shunt Vaults) going for a
night procession through Brick Lane and up to Shoreditch. The
procession will include choreography, music, speed, and much more! An
artistic, political, and poetic night not to be missed.

May 2: Flaneurs Sans Frontieres
Join us for an informal debate with poets, artists, architects and
philosophers on walking as an artistic and political practice, and one
of the defining traits of the European city.

May 3: Utopia City: Urban Games
Talks on artistic strategies for the city followed by a guided
artistic walk near the olympic site, followed by a picnic and video
projections after sunset
5.00pm: film showings at arcola theatre: ‘the Games’, ‘Village
underground’ and ‘finisterre’.
6.00pm: discussion: ‘urban regeneration and artistic resistance’
discussion on the olympic site, urban geographies and urban art at arcola.
7.00pm: Tour of the new Olympic Site, picnic, and video projections.
Meet at arcola at 7pm or Hackney wick station at 7.30pm

[NetBehaviour] Slump City at Space Media...

2009-04-29 Thread info
Slump City at Space Media...

June 6th – June 26th 2009
http://www.spacestudios.org.uk/blogcategory/Forthcoming_Exhibitions/

As the consequences of the global recession begin to take effect, the 
regeneration of East London, the traditional home of London’s large 
artist community, has slowed and the promised Olympic legacy looks in 
doubt. It is within this context that SPACE presents Slump City an 
exhibition presenting the work of 3 exciting emerging artists whose 
visionary and haunting work combines gothic fantasy, poetic social 
realism and psycho- geography to imagine the urban periphery.

Laura Oldfield Ford, winner of the VABT award, a recent graduate of RCA 
whose first show was at Marlborough Fine Art last Autumn, currently has 
a solo show at Hales Gallery and is about to show at Arnolfini in 
Bristol. For Slump City Oldfield- Ford is making a new piece, a large 
wall of A2 drawings which feed from her ongoing subjective exploration 
and psycho-geographic mapping of the neglected backwaters of East 
London. These relay a broken narrative centered on an East London that 
is being cleared and sanitised for the 2012 Olympic games.

Karen Russo is known internationally for her video, drawing and 
sculpture and the strange and disturbing source materials which she uses 
to transform the everyday in to contemporary surreal and gothic imagery 
that explores romantic notions of the sublime. For Slump City Russo 
presents a filmed excursion inside an urban sewage pipe system. Viewed 
through a small robot camera, used to locate blockages, an 
ever-expanding system of sewer pipes is revealed, mapping the ‘belly’ 
under our city.

Tessa Farmer's recent practice has been inspired by her 2007 residency 
at London’s Natural History Museum, playing on a strong undercurrent of 
horror and abjection that has always existed as a counter-narrative to 
the Victorian tradition of naturalism to which Tessa Farmer's work 
offers a redress. For Slump City she will be presenting her stuffed and 
reawakened ‘road kill’ arranged into fantasy scenarios where insect 
fairy tormentors seek revenge for all their brethren once smothered in 
killing jars and pinned in display case trophies. Tessa Farmer’s work 
was included in the 2004 edition of the 'Bloomberg New Contemporaries', 
where her installation 'Swarm' was spotted by Charles Saatchi and 
purchased for his collection.

To compliment the context and content of Slump City SPACE will be 
conducting a tour of the artist enclave Hackney WIck, combining studio 
visits and tours of artist run space as part of CREATE 09- the annual 
arts festival hosted by the five host boroughs of the 2012 Olympic games 
and Hackney Wicked the artists run festival.

Re: [NetBehaviour] the lost Lost text

2009-04-29 Thread james morris

i've lost the sensation that my physical body being is alien to me, and
lost the paranoia about the effects of thought upon others in the
physical world.

lost all faith in government, in all politicians and in the economy, and
in business... lost hope that any of these things can ever make use of
me as me, instead of me as a resource, me as an organic machine, me
restricted and limited and constrained.

the lost Lost text


The main text from the Lost Project created for the trAce online writing
community; visitors to the site were asked to enter their email address and
then describe something they lost. On playback the list of email addresses
was separated from the list of the lost; in other words, the tether was broken.
The text of what was lost is a form of literature itself; it had disappeared in
my files until now. What was lost is now found, what is found can never be
recuperated. I think the Lost Project is still located at the trAce archives;
trAce ended as a community headed by Sue Thomas, a few years ago. The project
was created around 1999-2000, when I was trAce's second virtual
writer-in-residence. Please check out the text; it's oddly beautiful, the
result of so many minds.

[NetBehaviour] Climate Change protesters: mobilise or repress?

2009-04-29 Thread Ruth Catlow
http://tinyurl.com/dhqxel

Last night on BBC2's Newsnight, 'Ethical man' broadcast an item about
political attitudes to climate change in the US. Obama is promoting a
'cap and trade' approach to reducing national carbon emissions saying
we need to make clean renewable energy profitable. In support of this
policy the Environmental Protection Agency has recently been empowered
to enforce regulation on carbon emissions.  While it's tough to evaluate
the efficacy of this approach it is was pretty surprising to see the
evident difference in attitude to climate change activists taken by the
US and UK governments.

12000 climate activists gathered in washington in an act of mass civil
disobedience aimed at closing down the power plant that supplies
congressional buildings. In one room activists were trained in tactics
for civil disobedience, in another US cabinet members gave rousing
speeches of solidarity and support to the protesters and against
carbon-based energy business. 

Obama appears to have his shoulder to every possible wheel to get bills
through Congress and Senate and mobilising protesters is just another of
these wheels.

There is something unnerving in this populist politiking but it is
preferable to the preemptive attacks by police on peaceful UK climate
change protesters. No??

[NetBehaviour] URBAN ORGANICS WORKSHOP

2009-04-29 Thread benjamin

Figuratively describing the country of Matrizenzubehoerleute…...
A N   U R B A NO R G A N I C S   W O R K S H O P

The city presents an unmapped, sparsely inhabited place,  
extravagantly rich in unexplored resources, waiting as it were for  
the arrival of someone to give form to the latent possibilities which  
lay beyond regular spatial comprehension.


The poet, wandering describes reflections on streetlife, overlaid by  
the desire to develop typographies and document of human life.  The  
civilian traveler as they traverse the urban terrain, passing amongst  
concrete corridors of the imagination remakes the city through  
forming their own reflective typographies. Looking then at our  
perception of city scenes and urban space as a hybrid of different  
forms, Figuratively describing the country of Matrizenzubehoerleute…. 
(ma-tritsen.tzu-behuer.loyter) provides participants with a tool-kit  
which will allow them to trace and unveil the creative potential of  
their every day surroundings through a series of collaborative  
exercises. The group will undertake explorations of the space  
surrounding the DIY Art Centre, observe and reproduce behavioral  
patterns and begin to develop the basis of a new language through  
archetypal typography.


The workshop will provide an introduction to techniques which empower  
the participants to further understand how we interact with our  
surroundings. The group will explore the urban spaces surrounding the  
Art Centre along a perimeter between two lands drawn from places  
which belong neither to the ordinary, nor the Other, but which are  
imbued with a presence of both; just as the sky can be seen to fall  
down towards the sea.

Hello Ruth,

thank you for posting this info :-)

Climate change groups have been treated like criminals in the UK. The
contrast is amazing, even if it is at type of propaganda - for it to be
released on television to a large audience, acts as a clear question of why
the UK is acting in such a unreasonalbe way?

Hello Dave,

I remember when you collaborated with many other netbehaviour artists,
including myself on the DIWO project - I also like the works that you put in
for that as well.

Thanks for the links - will delve...

[NetBehaviour] with soundtrack, and staying around

2009-04-29 Thread Alan Sondheim



with soundtrack, and staying around

serious family and health traumas all over the place going on
so I asked Helfe Ihnen to connect the tambura1.mp3 to the sim
so he said he'd connect it to the land parcel, which, what I run
so it's connected to what I run, which is that object there
so the object's linked and running full tilt boogie ahead now
and the words are moving like crazy and jumping around now
and the tambura's going downhill until the end of the world now
and I wonder where the next event will be
and I wonder how long until something goes normal once again
and I think who will be left when radiation kills the world
so once and for all I've escaped to pure processes
so I've got dynamics running on nothing but virtual particles now
so the downhill tambura tolls the wages of the world now
so the serious the health and the traumas so the downhill words
  are hardly audible when you go there to East of Odyssey now

[NetBehaviour] An admission of guilt and new Microcode

2009-04-29 Thread Pall Thayer
I have a secret. I've been carrying it around with me for a couple of
months now. Actually, I haven't carried it around. It's been living in
a cabinet in my living room. I am now going to reveal this secret
because it's gone a tad bit further than I expected it to.

The conceptual artist On Kawara has 101 followers on twitter at the
time of this writing. I have only 20-something. But I am On Kawara on
twitter. Or rather, On Kawara on twitter is a Perl script that gets
automatically run once a day on a server in a cabinet in my living
room. I haven't done anything to publicize his activities on twitter.
All he does is announce, I AM STILL ALIVE once a day. He doesn't
follow anyone. Yet, somehow, it seeped out into the twitter community.
The Perl Net::Twitter client name should be a dead give away.

The interesting thing about this (and my original reason for launching
it) is that it blatantly negates the whole idea behind On Kawara's I
AM STILL ALIVE messages. Whereas those did indeed confirm that he was
still alive, this doesn't. It's an automated process that he doesn't
even control. Were he to die, he would continue to announce I AM
STILL ALIVE, everday, on twitter. So it really does two things; by
falsely confirming that he is alive, it casts doubt on the issue but
it also keeps the notion of him actively announcing that he is alive,
alive.

So what may sound like a simple prank is actually pretty complex and
gets more complex the more you think about it.

Anyway, I've now released the On_Kawara twittering script as one of
the Microcodes at http://pallit.lhi.is/microcodes

This throws a new wrench into the works. The script is posted exactly
as it is, complete with the username and the password. I can't even
begin to imagine where that will go.

best r.
Pall Thayer

[NetBehaviour] Call for media initiatives

2009-04-29 Thread Marieke Istha
On May 8, 2009, the Netherlands Media Art Institute will hold the symposium 
‘Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and the institution’ in 
Amsterdam. Please find the symposium’s programme attached to this email.

The second panel is dedicated to the ‘new nodes in the digital map’, i.e. new 
media (art) initiatives and organisations such as yours. We would like to get a 
better understanding of the local situation in which these new initiatives and 
groups establish themselves and which artistic practices derives from it. What 
are the challenges that you have to face and how do you envision the future of 
your initiative?

You can participate in our debate not only by watching the live stream of the 
symposium. We will also enable an online live chat which will be visible at the 
symposium’s venue. So-called ‘chat agents’ and the moderators will pick up 
questions and comments from that live chat and include them in the debate. The 
links to the chat and the stream will to be found on our website 
http://www.nimk.nl .We are hoping for your participation in the debate.

In addition to this you could also send us a 2 minutes max video (or the link 
to it) in which you explain your situation, artistic practices and vision. We 
would screen these contributions during the symposium, during or before the 
second panel. Moreover we would publish the videos or links on the media art 
platform www.mediaartplatform.org.
This gives you the chance to promote your activities and inform the symposium’s 
attendees about your work which will hopefully result in new connections and 
collaborations.

Please send us your material before May 6, 2009 to el...@nimk.nl
We are looking forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,

Susanne Jaschko
Chief curator Netherlands Media Art Institute

Please see the programme of the symposium at
