The public on the street comprises of those who 'experience' street sexual harassment, i.e. the survivors; those who cause street sexual harassment i.e the perpetrators and those who witness street sexual harassment i.e the spectators. Our very own stat counter on the right hand bar of the page says that 22% of the Blank Noise blog visitors are spectators. Now its your turn to speak! Most cases of street sexual violence go unnoticed because they are intangible , can be doubted as 'accidental brush/ touch' ( strictly in the Indian context). More often than not the survivor feels embarrassment and shame for being sexually violated and does not wish to draw further attention. Some survivors of street sexual violence don't seek public support because of the fear that 'the public' may not always show support, act indifferent, or be one more face in the crowd watching the scene. Blank Noise Spectators Special asks members of the public, both men and women to share what they witnessed. What was your first reaction? Was it to intervene? Was it to ignore? What did you do? What would you rather have done? Can you share your thoughts about being a spectator. If you have been a 'special spectator' , that is, intervened in the situation, please tell us how! Was it with wit and humor? Or did physically assault the 'perpetrator'? Did you walk away? Or call the cops? Or gather a crowd? Or see another spectator take charge of the situation and participate in any way. To participate in this online event please register by emailing us at blurtblanknoise at gmail dot com subject titled Blank Noise Spectators Special. Link this post to your blog, and send in your blog address. We will add you to the list below. Deadline for your post on being a spectator is August 15th. This event hopes to be one in the series of events planned in bringing together 'survivors'(http://blanknoiseactionheroes.blogspot.com), ' perpetrators' (male only event coming soon) and 'spectators'.

Scores of personal lamps that usually inhabit and illuminate the interiors of homes and shops have been borrowed from the residents of Adams and North Adams to fill the two gallery spaces. Their images and stories are represented on Turbulence.org, which also serves to connect the two locations telematically. Clusters of lamps have been outfitted with proximity sensors and arduino microcontrollers. Lamps light up in response to a visitor's presence and simultaneously illuminate lamps in the counterpart spaces. Thus, an individual in Adams can communicate his/her presence to an individual in North Adams, and vice versa. Additionally, as visitors investigate the history of a particular lamp online, the lamp will light in the physical gallery space. "Lumens" re-connects North Adams and Adams -- originally a single community -- through an exploration of location, influence, history, and the present. "Lumens" is a project of "Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses," a collaboration between Greylock Arts, MCLA Gallery51, and Turbulence.org. It was made possible through New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the LEF Foundation, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Lima'08: Magic and Technology Message-ID: <48909E01.80203@medialab-prado.es> Open call for projects. Deadline: August 31, 2008 INTERACTIVOS? LIMA'08: MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY International Project Development Workshop October 10 through 24, 2008 At the Cultural Center of Spain in Lima (Peru) Organized by Medialab-Prado (The Arts Area - Town Hall of Madrid) and the Cultural Center of Spain in Lima (Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation - AECID) Call for the submission of projects to be developed as part of the Interactivos? Lima'08: Magic and Technology workshop, led by Julian Oliver (New Zealand/Spain), Clara Boj (Spain), Diego Díaz (Spain) and Kiko Mayorga (Peru). At the end of the workshop, projects will be exhibited at the Cultural Center from October 24 through November 6, 2008. The call is aimed at artists, magicians, engineers, musicians, programmers, designers, architects, hackers, psychologists, or any other person interested in presenting a project on this topic. Goals: to propose strategies of magic and illusion, in order to harness some of the old and new technological resources to collectively build software pieces and interactive installations which can propose a rethinking of the usual scenario in magic tricks; to broaden the topic through the exploration of the meanings of the magic concept within the local context of Peru; to propose magic and illusion as an approach for experiments on perception and attention, behaviour and social relationships; and to propose a critical viewpoint on the seduction of technology and its application on the spectacle as a tool of persuasion and control. The proposals will be carried out in multidisciplinary work groups comprised by the author(s) and interested collaborators, with conceptual and technical advice from the teaching staff. Open call for collaborators: September 15, 2008.

Overview: This workshop is designed for teachers of middle and high school, and lecturers in colleges, who teach Shakespearean texts to their students. It is not intended to supplant the traditional (and important) approaches such as critical analysis. However, it attempts to bring in ideas from the world of contemporary performance (devised theatre, performance art, installation, etc.), which would make it easier for students to relate to the texts more easily, and derive a sense of creative enjoyment while working on them. Methodology: The text chosen as a model in the workshop is Macbeth, but the ideas discussed/ generated can be applied to any of the plays. The workshop is completely experiential and activity based in nature. It will start off with basic physical preparation, which the teachers can use back in their classrooms, and will then systematically examine how the study of the text can be enlivened by employing basic dramatic usage of the voice, body and space within the confines of the classroom. It will then proceed to look at how various parts of the text can be associated to contemporary reality, and how this can be a foundation for performance ideas. The next stage would be the interpretation of elements of the text visually, sculpturally and through simple installations, using material readily accessible in a classroom. Techniques through which the students might associate the personal and the universal, with the text as the focusing element, will be discussed, and performance based approaches to specific themes in the play, such as darkness, blood, and the nature of the witches (in a post-modern context) will round off the session. Facilitator profile: Arka Mukhopadhyay is a poet, director and performer. He is the founder and artistic director of Logos Theatre, and has extensive experience in designing and facilitating workshops both in the corporate as well as the educational space. He has taught at an international school and has worked with educational institutions in different parts of the country. His solo, devised Shakespearean performance, Shreds and Patches, has been performed to critical acclaim in different parts of the country. Dates: August 7th and 8th Time: 14:00 - 18:00 Venue: Maya Gallery of Contemporary art, #59, Nandidurga Road Number of participants: Each institution should send a maximum of two participants. The workshop is limited to twelve participants and registrations will close once twelve participants have registered. Fees: 2,500/- (inclusive of refreshments and cost of materials) Registration closes by: August 4th.

It has two eyes, two ears, one nose, full face, playful body full of desire. It loves to be called by a name: Thames, Nile, Ganges, Rhine, Veth. This time it is Veth or Jehlum in Kasheer or Kashmir, which flows at its own speed, or flows with the flow of its ever changing civilizations? Its beginning is its own bluish tint, little viridian, little cerulean, and a folky gush of innocence. Its own past chooses to remain buried under the range of mountains. Legend sings that a watery monster once stifled it for thousands of years until a scientist sage punctured a stone in the North. So it gave birth to itself, it often dreams that day… R(i)ver is someone. It reflects blue of the blue sky, mischievous grey, peaceful white of the clouds, and invisible faces of gods above. Its womb has fish and a memory in it, and an electric wire too. It has a water within its water. It has a memory that brings it back to its beginning. It knows how not to disappoint those who named it; else how will the lovers akin to trees living on its banks learn how to realize the truest nature of ' the thirst' at roots. So some poets see a gender in it, and others see a fire of hell on its surface. For a mystic poet, it is a boat in-itself. R(i)ver is someone. A character on the stage, a voice of the voiceless, a piercing silence too. Its shimmer is its own mask with which it seduces the hesitant 'man' on its bank. Its once in a while angry swell is the most unpredictable face under its deceptive gaze. Although its ripples are as indigenous as proverbs of the language uttered by the people around it, but it does not complain if some sounds replaces other sounds akin to its own ripples. R(i)ver is someone. It carries our dirt like a Dalit to a final destination called sea. It carries our history and a moral faith to a labyrinth of cities where we are grappling with our contrived lives. It sheds a tea for each one of us. It knows our personal pain. It sings a song for all the oppressed of the world and calls us come back to earth's simplicity. R(i)iver is not someone if it is declared dead like Yammuna in Delhi. Fortunately, river Veth/Jehlum is still alive…flowing ..........................................................................................
