[rohrpost] Trampoline Berlin - Call for Submissions
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. If you have a piece of work or any ideas which you would like to develop further in relation to this project and in dialogue with Trampoline we would very much like to hear from you. We are looking for the following kind of work: ·Film and Video: single screen or durational loop ·Performance and music ·Streaming ·Interactive journeys, audio tours ·Sound art / installation ·Various Notes: ·We will not be able to pay for artists' travel costs to Berlin but we will be able to transport the work. ·Work, which requires production budgets or extensive set-up times, cannot be taken on. ·Performances should be between 10-25 minutes ·Single screen films should be no longer than 15 min ·Durational video / installations should be suitable for 1 beamer or several monitors ·We are particularly interested in hearing from performers and live artists.

[rohrpost] FIRST PLAY BERLIN: Game Rumours
TRAMPOLINE presents: FIRST PLAY BERLIN a programme of live media art 1. Day Of The Figurines NOW LIVE! read Game Rumours for the gossip 2. FIRST PLAY BERLIN launched Thursday 12th Oct 1. Day Of The Figurines Blast Theory Since September 28th, the population of the fictional town represented in Day Of The Figurines has been growing. Inundated by an increasing number of game characters, the laser cut steel city at the heart of Hau 2 provides the stamping ground for an equal number of miniature figurines, each one representing a player enjoying the game. If you arent a player yet and live in Berlin, come and join in the experience every day from 16h 20h at HAU2*, www.hebbel-am-ufer.de * On Thursday, 12th of October, Day Of The Figurines is only open from 19h onwards 23h. For exact opening times, please go to http://www.trampoline-berlin.de/index.php?page=homedates=1docId=5 Day Of The Figurines: Game Rumours 9.02 am at the RATResearch institute. HASSAN, who has a muscular chest, is frustrated from trying to throw his SICK DOGS over the gates. The brawny liberator has a clutch of the animals with him after creeping out of the institute with the sound of alarm bells in his ears. Now, stuck inside the perimeter fence, HASSAN meets SUPERGIRL, who kick starts a little fun by hitting him with her BRANCH. JOHN, on the other side of the gates, says nothing. Meanwhile in KATH's Cafe, rumours have started that HASSAN was in bed with SHINGLES, thus blowing his chances of success at the RATResearch institute. However, dreamy MARGHERITA, still angling for a way to run away with HASSAN, pointed out that SHINGLES left town the day before. By 9.35am FRÄULEIN AGATHE, a stewardess cool as ice, is standing outside the institute gates. She has followed HASSAN from the PRODuct Barn. HASSAN apologizes for not being able to give her a bunk up, explaining that he can't quite get the hang of his STEPLADDER. JOE AND BILLY appear and offer some advice on the use of tools and they all head off to KATH's for some TEA. They are feeling poorly. Back at KATH's Cafe, MARGHERITA is trying to get HASSAN's attention by feigning illness. BARNEY enters wearing a colourful WRISTBAND. That's a lovely wristband Barney. Where did you get it from? hopes HASSAN and dwells on the subject until BARNEY, an eight year old boy, DROPs it. Seeing her chance, MARGHERITA suggests to HASSAN that they go get themselves a SAUNA but it's shut until 2.00pm, as BARNEY found out. It's still only 10.40am. HASSAN, MARGHERITA and BARNEY all leave to the INTErnet Cafe together. CINDY looks on across the steamy cafe but says nothing. Day Of The Figurines is the worlds first MUD (Multi User Domain) for mobile phones and was developed as part of the European research project IPerG (Integrated Project on Pervasive Gaming) and in collaboration with Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham. Following FIRST PLAY BERLIN, Day Of The Figurines will visit the National Museum of Singapore in December 2006 and tour the UK in 2007.

[rohrpost] TRAMPOLINE opens FIRST PLAY BERLIN - this Thur 12.Oct - 20h at HAU2, Berlin
Trampoline presents FIRST PLAY BERLIN a Programme of Live Media Art: FIRST PLAY BERLIN features international art projects that combine technology, performance, interaction and installation. Giving media art a human interface, FIRST PLAY BERLIN explores audience interaction beyond a mouse-click with performers who use new technology for their art. With often game-like structures, these works make the viewer into a player and offer a perspective onto our everyday world outside of the mundane. Leaving the stage back at the theatre, they make use of locative media such as mobile phones, PDAs and location aware devices which enable them to get out onto the streets, embedding the work into the real, physical urban environment while simultaneously connecting to remote places and virtual spaces via the networks our cities are pervaded by. FPB explores how the perception of our reality has changed with the digital age of networks. A space is more than one space; the virtual has inextricably entered the realm of the real and what we find is an inseparable mix. FPB set out to explore the makeup of this mixed reality. Opening night - TRAMPOLINE Event Thursday 12.10.06 from 20h - 1h Borders blur. Space dissolves. Reality becomes fiction. Human and machine tease and torture each other. Remote choreographers show us how to walk. Remote cameras show us how were watched. Paradoxes meet panoramas. Cities collide. Tokyo and Vienna. Rome and Berlin. Nottingham and London. Welcome to the in-between space. The point of transition. Trampoline. Trampoline Platform for New Media Art 12.10.06 / 20h 1h / Hebbel am Ufer HAU2, Berlin Trampoline, the platform for new media art, opens FIRST PLAY BERLIN and brings together 30 artists to explore the theme of mixed reality from different perspectives. Fusing video, installation and live performance, Trampoline offers a packed evening of media art entertainment to celebrate the launch of the FIRST PLAY BERLIN artworks. The finale will be a live concert by Heidi Mortenson.

[rohrpost] CALL FOR PROJECTS - Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens?
CALL FOR PROJECTS Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? Trampoline and partners are calling for short, sharp and silent video works by artists working in film and new media to be shown on three outdoors screens across the East Midlands. This programme of up to 10 works will be launched in late September 2007 for public screening on the new projection screen of the Royal Centre, Nottingham, the Derby Big Screen in Derby's Market Place and a temporary screen erected on the facade of the Phoenix Arts Centre in Leicester. In the East Midlands, we are at the beginning of a new era where the trend for large public display screens in city centres has arrived, offering, amongst other things, valuable opportunities for disseminating artistic content in urban space. These electronic spaces offer potential alternatives to a visually overloaded urban horizon that has been hitherto dedicated to advertising graphics. At this stage in their evolution, urban screens are still accessible for experimentation and represent a medium that has the potential for unique interactions with audiences and for networking across great distances. Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? marks the beginning of a very contemporary exhibition space for the moving image, reaching audiences typically measuring thousands every day. Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? also marks the first Trampoline run up event to the 4th Radiator Festival at the end of Nov 2007. It is envisaged the programme will receive a repeat screening during the festival and tour throughout the UK and beyond in 2008.

[rohrpost] Do Billboards Dream Of Electric Screens? at Urban Screens Manchester
Do Billboards Dream Of Electric Screens? at Urban Screens Manchester Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th October (See below for programme schedule) Do Billboards Dream Of Electric Screens? Trampoline brings an international programme of artists short films to Urban Screens Manchester as part of Trampolines 10th anniversary celebration taking place in November. Trampoline has chosen 16 short films that explore our relationship with the moving image in the public realm, subtle interventions that enter into dialogue with the influx of dynamic digital signage and advertising to our high streets and public spaces. The City, micro narrative and the Big Close Up are elements from film culture now re-imagined in the first programme, The Citizen while These Four Walls takes architecture and its relationship with the passers-by experience of advertising hoardings as its central theme. Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? uncovers artistic possibilities of this new digital infrastructure and alerts us to be aware of our developing urban surroundings. Urban Screens Manchester: IT'S ABOUT CONTENT! Urban Screens Manchester 07 explores the conditions for urban screens from a multitude of perspectives, making it relevant to media specialists, designers, artists, architects, urban planners, broadcasters and theorists. The omnipresence of public displays such as LED, LCD, plasma screens, large scale projections and media facades demands a critical reflection of their impact on cities and on our perceptions of them. At the same time, they offer new and exciting possibilities for artistic and non-commercial use as well as for community development and play. Urban Screens Manchester looks specifically at the creation of content, commissioning / funding issues, curatorship and the architectural possibilities of urban screens in the 21st century.

[rohrpost] TRAMPOLINE, YEAR 10 - Call for Submissions
TRAMPOLINE, YEAR 10 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 29th November 2007, Broadway Media Centre, Nottingham 7.00p.m. - Late DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: Mon 12th Nov 07 EVENT TO BE HELD ON: Thur 29th Nov 07 Trampoline celebrates over 10 years in new media art THE THEME: THE SURVEILLANCE CITY If we are not to be played and lost like Pawns scrabbling on the surface of a chessboard we need to understand the rules of the game we are engaged in. As developers buy up our city centres for regeneration into desirable properties for the market, a similar appropriation is taking place within the spectrum that lies above. The air we breathe is itself becoming digital real estate, an intangible landscape carried on radio waves, filling the voids of our cities like Dark Matter. The new city is coming a city whose spaces are connected by hidden electronic passages and data crawl-throughs, spaces where our movements are traceable, recordable and identifiable by the litter of data we carelessly drop and the Web 2.0 we unwittingly spin in the chatter of our networks. Trampoline celebrates over 10 years in new media art in November with a look at how artists are teaching themselves the game plan for this wireless, super conductive urban landscape that is emerging around us. Trampoline is calling for submissions in 2 areas of interest: 1. SURVEILLANCE CITY From video, animation, installation, sculpture, performance, live music, and web streaming Trampoline welcomes all forms of artistic expression with a critique of digital culture. 2. NEW MEDIA PERFORMANCE In addition to this, Trampoline will curate a programme of new media performance celebrating the diversity of 10 years in this area. Of particular interest are performance video, live streaming, audio tours and participatory, mobile projects.

[rohrpost] TRAMPOLINE PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION BY HEATH BUNTING
TRAMPOLINE CELEBRATES 10th ANNIVERSARY WITH AN EXHIBITION BY HEATH BUNTING Trampoline, the East Midlands platform event for new media art, celebrates its tenth anniversary with an exhibition of mapped data by internationally renowned artist Heath Bunting, at Nottinghams Broadway from 29 November until 5 December 2007. The fallout is yet to settle from the loss of personal records of 25 million child benefit claimants in a scandal that will leave the present government deeply scarred. Yet in Broadway, for one week, visitors to the top floor are able to study unique drawings which can help them navigate the networks encountered in their everyday lives which routinely collect and distil such personal information. HEATH BUNTING: THE STATUS PROJECT - AN A - Z OF THE SYSTEM Exhibition 29 November 5 December 2007, from 12-9pm daily Exhibition Opening Wednesday 28 November 2007 6pm Psycho-geographic Walk Thursday 29 November 5pm The Status Project is an expert system for identity mutation says Heath Bunting about his project, which he estimates will take him another seven years to complete. On display are maps and guidebooks of the system that Bunting terms The Status Project. The Bristol based artist will later be using these self-produced guides to lead members of the public on a city walk, demonstrating the links that establish our social status, from owning a Tesco Club Card to being on the Electoral Register. Its an A to Z of the System that maps the conditions, restrictions and red tape borders that we encounter every day. Heath started to explore public space as encountered in shops, organisations and institutions three years ago and to log the information he was obliged to supply in order to use the services of these establishments. This array of data has been entered into the Status Project database, which holds more than 5000 entries. These entries consist of descriptors such as name, birth date, postal address and nationality but include other personal information such as ones mobile phone contract, bank account or the ability to provide a handwritten signature. All entries strictly reflect the information found in the research. Entries are linked to each other according to their overlaps and dependencies thereby forming a node in a vast networked system. For example, it lays out which exact information is required to obtain a Barclays bank account and what further doors this account will open for you. For the five new maps in An A to Z of the System, a set of data from the Status database has been arranged according to a theme. In the map named A Woman, areas of national identity, credit status and eligibility for state benefits are positioned close together and are interlaced with marital status, title and whether one has children or not. One of the five maps is custom-made for Nottingham and can be experienced on the Psycho-geographic walk, where Heath will personally guide members of the public around the city centre. On the Nottingham Map the institutions, shops and public buildings are logged following the itinerary of the walk, demonstrating what conditions must be fulfilled in order to engage with the services of that place and what links them with other places on the way.

[rohrpost] Radiator Festival Symposium EXPLOITS IN THE WIRELESS CITY -Announcement Nr. 1
BOOK NOW FOR EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT! RADIATOR SYMPOSIUM - EXPLOITS IN THE WIRELESS CITY Broadway Media Centre, Nottingham UK 15 16 January 2009 As part of the 4th Radiator festival, the Radiator Symposium, Exploits in the Wireless City, aims to instigate discussion, debate and new interdisciplinary research networks based on the understanding that the development of digital networks are transforming our notion of (public and private) space. Bringing together artists with architects, urban theorists, computer scientists, sociologists and fellow citizens, the symposium will explore, question and play with this new urban topography where the re-conceptualizing of the public sphere in the regeneration developments of the East Midlands mirror those around Europe. Radiator will host the symposium alongside a series of presentations, exhibitions and discussions where the audience will have the opportunity to explore, remodel and re-present space in its traditional and emergent forms. In its critique, the Radiator symposium will question the opportunities, future strategies and implementations that artists and communities face when learning to act within these new hybrid city spaces. Through its artistic interventions, Radiator will put theory into practice with projects and events that both position and challenge the dominant forces at work in the urban environment and explore the new territories opened up by hybrid space. The Going Underground project, investigates this infrastructure by placing 5 artists into the urban confines of British cities: Glenn Davidson (Artstation) (UK), Folke Köbberling Martin Kaltwasser (DE), Ian Nesbitt (UK), Christian Nold (UK), N55 (DK). These artists will act as sleeper agents, observing and gathering information from a range of different sources including; architects, planning departments, city council offices, surveillance, monitoring centres and the Police to create new work in response to their research. The Radiator festival is curated by Anette Schafer Miles Chalcraft from Trampoline. Trampoline has hosted and curated events in both Nottingham and Berlin since 1997.

They are difficult networks to map, measure or control. Since regulations of usage, frequencies and sharing are still in the process of being negotiated, how is access control and data manipulation being exposed, exploited, packaged and challenged? Experiencing the E-City Our mobility while we work, e-shop, or communicate in a wireless zone tends to make us nomadic and lets us adapt a particular space (café, park, home) to our momentary need.
