From turbulence at turbulence.org Tue Oct 7 01:35:27 2008 From: turbulence at turbulence.org (Turbulence) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 16:05:27 -0400 Subject: [Announcements] Networked: a (networked_book) about (networked_art) Message-ID: <03f301c927ee$e66de030$b349a090$@org> PLEASE HELP US GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT: Networked: a (networked_book) about (networked_art) A Juried International Competition Call for Proposals Deadline: December 15, 2008 http://turbulence.org/networked Five writers will be commissioned to develop chapters for a networked book about networked art. The chapters will be open for revision, commentary, and translation by online collaborators. Each commissioned writer will receive $3,000 (US). Networked Committee: Steve Dietz (Northern Lights, MN) :: Martha CC Gabriel (net artist, Brazil) :: Geert Lovink (Institute for Network Cultures, The Netherlands) :: Nick Montfort (Massachusetts Institute for Technology, MA) :: Anne Bray (LA Freewaves, LA) :: Sean Dockray (Telic Arts Exchange, LA) :: Jo-Anne Green (NRPA, MA) :: Eduardo Navas (newmediaFIX) :: Helen Thorington (NRPA, NY) Networked Partners: New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (NRPA) :: newmediaFIX :: LA Freewaves :: Telic Arts Exchange "A networked book is an open book designed to be written, edited and read in a networked environment." - Institute for the Future of the Book Networked Goals: (1) To commission five chapters and publish them online using Wiki/blog technology to enable the public to revise, update, debate and translate them (2) To present public forums to publicize the online book and solicit participation in its development. Networked Objectives: :: To develop and publish an online, trans-disciplinary book that will address recent artistic developments made possible by computers, networks, and mobile connectivity :::: To present the book in an open, participatory and social form :::::: To document: :::::::::: the collapse of the traditional distinction between artist, art work and audience :::::::::: the shaping of creative practice that is open, contingent and participatory :::::::::: the building of virtual communities which, in the words of Howard Rheingold, "becomes inevitable wherever computer mediated communications technology becomes available to people anywhere." (The Virtual Community, 1993) We invite contributions that critically and creatively rethink how networked art is categorized, analyzed, legitimized -- and by whom -- as norms of authority, trust, authenticity and legitimacy evolve. "Networked" proposes that a history or critique of interactive and/or participatory art must itself be interactive and/or participatory; that the technologies used to create a work suggest new forms a "book" might take. We hope to spark a conversation between researchers and practitioners, curators, artists, and academics in the fields of art (music, sound, dance, e-lit, visual art .), architecture, convergence, mapping, urbanism, games, sociology, visualization, cultural studies, and environmental studies. In keeping with the transdisciplinary nature of the book, authors may consider, but are by no means limited to, themes such as: :: cyberspace and identity :: ubiquitous computing - surveillance, politics, and privacy :: avatars, wearables, bioart and embodiment :: collective storytelling, audio narratives and sound art :: virtual worlds, mixed realities :: locative media - place, mobility, augmented reality :: massively multiplayer online games - networked play :: responsive architecture and relational environments :: social networks :: nomadism, psychogeography, and the city :: tactical media - performance, agency and activism :: open source and crowdsourcing :: Originality, copies, remix, mashup All papers will be reviewed by our international committee. Commissioned chapters, as well as contributions by collaborators, will be subject to the Creative Commons License Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0/Unported: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Once the chapters are published online, registered users will be able to revise, add to, and translate the existing texts. There is no end date for the project. When "Networked" has attracted substantive participation, we will consider publishing a print version of the project, which may itself be updated over time. GUIDELINES: Submissions must be based on original, unpublished research. They should include: 1. Name, address, URL, email and one page CV of author. 2. A 1000 word proposal that should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 250 words and a list of keywords to indicate the subject area of the chapter. [Each of the commissioned chapters will contain text, images, videos, and/or audio.] 3. Three networked writing samples. Samples may include a blog entry, a Wikipedia article the applicant worked on extensively, or samples from any other participatory project (send URLs). Acceptable Submission Formats: Either a web page (send url in an email) or a single text document (send as an email attachment) Final chapters must be no less than 5,000 words. Submissions and Questions should be sent to: jo at turbulence dot org IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for Proposals: December 15, 2008 Notification: January 31, 2009 Deadline for Complete Chapters: April 30, 2009 Online Publication Date: July 1, 2009 Join our Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=82123410550 Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Part of the "Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses" project, the two New England towns are (re)connected through a colorful, fluid, multilayered dance that incorporates the movement of the natural landscape from each town, seen through the "difference" blend mode of the Flash interface. Users can create and save their own versions of the dance by determining the order and timing of five different clips. Periodically, additional clips will be added so that both the dance and the user experience may evolve. Composer and instrumentalist Nana Simopoulos has contributed five tracks to accompany the five dance clips; each piece is played on a single instrument representing a different continent. Together, they form a single composition that is layered over the sounds of the two rivers, providing the listener with the ability to remix the musical textures. "Touching Gravity 2/Tilt" is part of the larger project "Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses" -- a collaboration between Greylock Arts and Turbulence.org -- that includes four commissioned networked art works that will all eventually be housed on the commissioned website www.newadams.es. "Touching Gravity 2/Tilt" will also be part of an interactive, site-specific series at Topia Arts Center (Adams) that looks at the idea of tilting angles of perception to reveal new possibilities. "Touching Gravity 2/Tilt" is a 2008 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support was provided by Frank and Barbara Peters through the Medici Circle award at the University of California at Irvine. BIOGRAPHIES Caryn Heilman danced for the Paul Taylor Dance Company for ten years before founding her own company, LiquidBody media, movement and dance. With PTDC, she performed on the world's most prestigious stages and acted as a cultural ambassador for the United States in India, China, Turkey, Hungary and Japan. She is featured in the Emmy-nominated documentary film, Dancemaker. With LiquidBody, performance highlights include Jacob's Pillow, MA; Dixon Place, NY; amphitheaters in Greece; a spa in Italy; and the Electronic Festival in Warsaw, Poland. Having received a foundation of choreographic tutelage from Paul Taylor - a master of American Modern Dance -- Caryn is diving into more experimental territory, focusing on the fluid systems of the body and choreographic structures that include audience interaction, multimedia, live music and aerial dance. Caryn has received scholarships from the American Dance Festival, Alvin Ailey and is currently on fellowship at the University of California at Irvine completing her MFA in Dance and Technology. For the past three years, she served on the Professional Advisory Committee of the Dance Notation Bureau. LiquidBody's second home is in the Northern Berkshires in Adams, MA where Caryn is Artistic Director of Topia Arts Center, a green arts and education center in development. Nana Simopoulos draws her music's melodic color from the map of world cultures. She artfully blends sounds and textures from around the world. Indian sarangi master Ustad Sultan Khan accompanies her on her last two releases, "After The Moon" and "Daughters Of The Sun" (Na Records), #1 on the NAV New Age and World radio charts. Nana's first album, "Pandora's Blues," won critic's choice from DOWNBEAT Magazine. Nana has been commissioned by numerous dance companies, such as Joffrey Ballet, American Dance Festival, Ballet Hispanico, North Carolina Dance Theater; and by former Pilobolus choreographer Peter Pucci. She has also written for film and theater, including "An Absolute Mystery," which premiered at La Mama, and "American Dreams, Lost and Found."

This features Spoken Word (my own poetry as well as pieces by Dylan Thomas, Anna Akhmatova, Mahmoud Derwish, etc.), movement, and digital imagery by Honey Bajaj, Shilo Shiv Suleiman and others. On the 21st, I am performing Shreds and Patches, my solo, devised Shakespeare piece, also at the IIT auditorium at half past six in the evening. This is a piece which has been in performance over the last year and a half all over the country and tries to look for many Shakespeares - the deeply personal, the political and the universal.

Our street actions over the last few years have been based on emphasizing small simple scenarios- which can be challenging even though they appear 'normal' and everyday. For instance- should it be hard to just 'stand' on the street as an 'idle' woman? Would you 'dare' try it? Keeping in sync with that trajectory of thought we have published this poster on the Blank Noise Blog. Here's a *Step By Step Guide To Unapologetic Walking * http://blog.blanknoise.org/2008/10/step-by-step-guide-to-unapologetic.html Some of you who have been associated with Blank Noise for a while may have already tried the step by step guide- in that case we invite you to share your experiences from or try it again!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear friends & colleagues, I'm glad to announce "Landspace 01", the first (of a series) interactive video-landscape that will be placed as a site-specific installation in a public space. Thanks & regards, Chiara. "Landspace", by Chiara Passa. Interactive video installation-site-specific, 2008. Music by Netherworld. "Landspace" provides a view into a virtual extension through motion. Various overlayed currents compiled of a range of extreme terrain ebb and swell, transforming the artwork's internal atmosphere through harmonized fluctuations with Landscape's counterpart, an isolationist visual and musical artwork. Constituting it's self through the concept of the new "second nature" of our digital time, the interactive video installation shows a sort of artificial 'natura-naturans' composed of large atmospheres in a state of constant change. The installation projects a virtual and interactive Land-Art, developed to be planned in the wide-open spaces which we inhabit, reiterating synthetic and essential notions of architectural atmosphere. Italiano: Il progetto "Landspace" è costituito da una serie di paesaggi sintetici ed essenziali che si modificano attraverso il suono. Essi sono stati pensati per essere proiettati in ampi spazi aperti proprio con il fine di riprogettare artificialmente l'architettura e l'ambiente circostante. I Landspace sono un'estensione virtuale, uno studio sul concetto della nostra seconda natura, ossia quella che viviamo attraverso il nostro tempo digitale. La video installazione interattiva mostra una sorta di 'natura naturans-artificiale', costituita da ampi spazi sempre in trasformazione; Una Land-Art virtuale e interattiva che ridisegna altre atmosfere in luoghi reali, a ritmo di musica isolazionista.

Please do watch and pass the word on! We'd be delighted to receive feedback from you. Apologies for cross-posting. Warm regards, Anjali and Jayasankar Our Family http://ourfamily2007.wordpress.com/ Tamil with English subtitles, 2007 Directed by K.P. Jayasankar and Anjali Monteiro Produced by the Centre for Media and Cultural Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences What does it mean to cross that line which sharply divides us on the basis of gender? To free oneself of the socially constructed onus of being male? Is there life beyond a hetero-normative family? Set in Tamilnadu, India, 'Our Family' brings together excerpts from Nirvanam, a one person performance, by Pritham K. Chakravarthy and a family of three generations of trans-gendered female subjects. Aasha, Seetha and Dhana, who are bound together by ties of adoption, belong to the community called Aravanis (aka Hijras, in some parts of India). Aasha Bharathi, the grandmother, is the president of the Tamilnadu Aravanigal Association, Chennai. Seetha, the daughter lives with her male partner Selvam, in Coimbatore. Dhana, Seetha's adopted daughter also lives with her and shuttles between her adopted and her natal families. The film juxtaposes the 'normality' of their existence with the dark and powerful narrative by Pritham- 'Nirvanam'; Nirvanam (Liberation) refers to the act of liberating oneself from the male body and transforming oneself to a female. This narrative bears witness to the tumultuous journey towards a reinvented selfhood, a journey fraught with violence, exploitation, affection and courage. The pains, pleasures and dilemmas of becoming the 'other' is the motif of the film. Weaving together performance, life histories and everyday life, it problematises the divides between 'us' and 'them'.
