[spectre] vasulka fundamentalist live party
NOD National Film Archive and Radio lemuire present A Fundamentalist party - Steina and Woody Vasulka live show Saturday: 11.11. 2006, 7:30 p.m. CET Experimental space Roxy/NoD, Dlouhá 33, Praha http://www.roxy.cz You can follow this program on real-time video streaming at www.lemurie.cz rtsp://stream.node9.org/live.sdp Steina and Woody (The Vasulkas) are among the principal actors of international avant-garde art. Steina, originally from Island, was trained as violinist. Woody (Bohuslav) Va*ulka, born in Brno, Moravia, studied documentary film at Prague Film School (FAMU). Together they left Czechoslovakia in 1965 and later settled in New York where they joined local art community and co-founded renowned avant-garde art centre The Kitchen. They worked in the Media Centre at the State University of New York in Buffalo (1973-9). Since 1980 they have been living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Lately they have also been cooperating with media centre ZKM in Karlsruhe. During the last 50 years they have influenced not only emerging new media scene, experimental film and video art and electronic music spheres, but also concepts of international art communities. Their longtime research into the properties of electronic image and machine character is particularly polymorphic: reaching from early documentaries recordings of New York art scene and first video experiments, inquiries into image-sound interface possibilities, to their joint as well as individual activities in the areas of interactive installations and robotics. Steina is for instance the author of machine vision installations, where the human eye is replaced by mutually observing, moving cameras, as well as of violin performances during which she controls image cycles playing her digital violin. Woody created videotapes experimenting with new narrative forms involving electronic medium practices (The Commission, Art of Memory) and complex series of robotic installations called The Brotherhood, the objective of which is interconnection of human and machine aspects and intersection of virtual and actual space. Further information at: www.vasulka.org. Rendezvous with Steina and Woody Vasulkas will take place on the occasion of the publication of a special issue of Iluminace journal (2/2006) with DVD supplement called Virtual Mushrooming (published by National Film Archives) presenting Vasulka's video works for the first time in Czech context. Program: Guy Van Belle: 4 miniature homages to The Vasulkas 1. the digital image 2. the digital sound, 3. the technological artefakt, 4. a life and a point of view International artist Guy Van Belle is renowned author of experimental and media sound installations, also dealing with robotics and physical sound modeling.

[spectre] Avantgarda v vzvratnem ogledalu, Maska, Ljubljana, 2006
Dear friends,
I am very happy to announce the publication of my
book Avantgarda v vzvratnem ogledalu (The
Avant-Garde in the Rear-View Mirror). The Slovene
edition - which is an updated version of my 2004
PhD thesis - will be published at the end of
November by Maska, Ljubljana.
There will be a book presentation on November 27,
2006, in Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana - separate
announcement to follow!
Many greetings,
Inke Arns

Objects in the mirror may be closer than they
appear! Avantgarda v vzvratnem ogledalu (The
Avant-Garde in the Rear-View Mirror), Ljubljana:
Maska, 2006
The book researches a paradigmatic shift in the
way artists reflect the historical avant-garde in
visual and media art projects of the 1980s and
1990s in (ex-) Yugoslavia and Russia. The reasons
for this paradigm shift can be found in the
changing relationship to the notion of utopia,
both in its political and its artistic
connotation. In the 1980s, the reception both in
so-called Soviet postutopianism (Il'ja Kabakov,
Erik Bulatov, Oleg Vasil'ev, Komar Melamid,
Collective Actions) and in the Yugoslav
retro-avant-garde (NSK, Mladen Stilinovic,
Malevic from Belgrade etc.) is characterized by a
'discourse archeological' interest in the
potentially totalitarian elements of the
avant-garde. Yet this point of view changes
fundamentally during the 1990s within a younger
generation of artists (neoutopianism and
retroutopianism). Retroutopianism (Marko Peljhan,
Vadim Fishkin) no longer primarily equates the
utopianism of the avant-garde with totalitarian
tendencies, but this utopianism is reexamined
with regard to its media technological
projections and designs, which were not only
developed by individual avant-garde artists,
writers and theoreticians (Velimir Khlebnikov,
Bertolt Brecht) but also by scientists and
engineers during the early 20th century (Nikola
Tesla, Herman Potocnik Noordung). Contemporary
artistic projects reveal an increasing
'media-archeological' fascination for the
avant-garde's early utopian fantasies of
technology. This fascination, in turn, is
symptomatic for a significant change in the
relationship to utopia and utopian thinking on
the whole: utopian thinking per se separates from
its unambiguously negative,
political-totalitarian aftertaste (understood as
'utopianism') and takes on a new positive
political connotation. It is now understood as an
emancipatory or visionary-spectral potentiality
('utopicity').

[spectre] Ars Virtua Artist-in-Residence (AVAIR): Call for Proposals
Ars Virtua Artist-in-Residence (AVAIR): Call for Proposals
Deadline November 21, 2006
Ars Virtua Gallery and New Media Center in Second Life is soliciting
proposals for its artist-in-residence program. The deadline for submissions
is November 21, 2006. Established and emerging artists will work within the
3d rendered environment of Second Life. Each 11-week residency will
culminate in an exhibition and a community-based event. Residents will also
receive a $400 stipend, training and mentorship.
Ars Virtua Artist-in-Residence (AVAIR) is an extended performance that
examines what it means to reside in a place that has no physical location.
Ars Virtua presents artists with a radical alternative to real life
galleries: 1) Since it does not physically exist artists are not limited by
physics, material budgets, building codes or landlords. Their only
constraints are social conventions and (malleable-extensible) software. 2)
The gallery is accessible 24 hours a day to a potentially infinite number of
people in every part of the world simultaneously. 3) Because of the ever
evolving, flexible nature of Second Life the audience is a far less
predictable variable than one might find in a Real Life gallery. Residents
will be encouraged to explore, experiment with and challenge traditional
conventions of art making and distribution, value and the art market, artist
and audience, space and place.
Application Process: Artists are encouraged to log in to Second Life and
create an avatar BEFORE applying. Download the application requirements
here: http://arsvirtua.com/residence. Finalists will be contacted for an
interview. Interviews will take place from November 28-30.
About Ars Virtua: Ars Virtua is a new media center and gallery located
entirely in the synthetic world of Second Life. It is a new type of space
that leverages the tension between 3D rendered game space and terrestrial
reality, between simulated and simulation. Ars Virtua is a venue for new
genres; it is also a platform for showcasing traditional artists creating
still and moving images, for instance, who apply scripts to extend these
into the synthetic game environment. Ars Virtua maintains a close
relationship with the underlying animation engine that enables Second Life
architecture and 3D rendered sculpture. Ars Virtua brings the art audience
into new media rather than new media to the museum or gallery, and calls
upon its audience to interact with the art and one another via their avatars
within the space.
About Second Life: Second Life is a 3D online persistent space totally
created and evolved by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding
place, you can do, create or become just about anything you can imagine.
Built-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can
imagine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly
detailed digital body ('Avatar') allows a rich and customizable identity.
