She involves the audience by provoking the visual senses with unexpected results. Her videos are much closer to performance as a form of contemporary art than filmic narritive or technological aspects, the videos go to the essence of the medium and have something purist we know from Japanese abstract minimalism of Zen, something very spiritual which seems to be very familiar and very strange at the same time. Thus art in its best sense."

THE BANFF NEW MEDIA INSTITUTE, ZER01, AND SUNDANCE INSTITUTE ANNOUNCE THE LOCATIVE CINEMA COMMISSION Northern Lights executive director Steve Dietz is the artistic director for the 3rd 01SJ Biennial, produced by ZER01 September 16-19, 2010, in San Jose, CA. Today, The Banff New Media Institute, ZER01, and Sundance Institute announced a joint venture to stimulate and showcase new media technologies. http://zero1.org/press/releases/banff-zero1-sundance The timeframe for applications is short - due August 3 - but the opportunity for a residency and technical support to produce a new work to be shown at the 2010 01SJ Biennial, the 2011 Sundance Festival, and the 2011 Banff Summer Arts Festvial is enormous. Please distribute widely. For more information on the Locative Cinema Commission: http://zero1.org/01sj/lccall San Jose, Calif. – July 8, 2009 ―The Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre, ZER01: The Art and Technology Network, and Sundance Institute’s New Frontier initiative today announced the formation of The Locative Cinema Commission, a joint venture to stimulate and showcase the creation of a locative cinema project. The Commission is presently soliciting proposals. The chosen artist or artists will realize their proposed project during a residency at The Banff Centre, to be completed by July 2010. They will also receive a $4,500 (four- thousand five hundred dollar) commissioning fee, related production funds, and will present their work at the 2010 01SJ Biennial from September 15 - 19, the 2011 edition of New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival from January 20-30, and the 2011 Banff Summer Arts Festival. "ZER01, Sundance Institute and the Banff New Media Institute all have proven commitment to supporting emerging forms of creative practice," said Susan Kennard, Director and Executive Producer at The Banff New Media Institute. "It is our hope that this collaboration will inspire the creation of a dynamic new work that can be exhibited to wide and diverse audiences in San Jose, Park City, and Banff and excite the public about changing ways to experience art ." The purpose of this commission is to use ‘locative cinema’ as an apparatus through which artists can share their vision using place in ways that are both specific and generic, or at least transferable. The Commission understands the notion of ‘locative cinema’ as a platform-agnostic apparatus through which artists share their vision of place. Any variation on how to present an artist's work will be considered, from cell phones to the black box of the cinema, from mixed reality to street theatre, from GPS to handhelds, from distributed to ambient. Proposals will be evaluated on their ability to engage people using place as a key element of the experience. The chosen project will receive a $4,500 commissioning fee a residency in Banff with up to $5,000 in related costs, and technical support from the Banff New Media Institute. Reasonable presentation costs, including necessary travel, will also be covered. The final project will be presented in San Jose, California, Ban ff, Canada, and Park City, Utah, and therefore must be realizable in those locations. Proposals will be accepted until August 3, 2009, and must include a conceptual proposal describing the relationship of the project to the place, a technical proposal outlining the basic parameters of the project, and strategies for problem solving during the residency. Other requirements include a budget, list of collaborators, links to examples of related past work, and resumes of key personnel.

As soon as the Internet started, artists captured it for artistic purposes, and the same is good for certain software used for the net, particularly Flash is predestined for developing artistic creations due to its intuitive use. It became one of the most popular software tools for the net, computer based animations and interactive applications like games. Flash based artworks entered media festivals, even festivals solely based on movies created in Flash are organised. After Cinematheque - streaming media environments - explored in 2007 the capabilities of "Quicktime" as an artistic medium in the comprehensive show \\Slowtime?

The show will include work made between 2003 and 2009: 'BMK', 'Birds', 'Submerge', 'Sleep', 'Transit', 'Wood', 'Return', 'Run' and 'Almost'.* tank.tv is pleased to present a showcase of the work of Dutch artist Jacco Olivier. The short videos exemplify the dense painterly technique that has come to define Olivier within the realm of moving image and position him somewhere between painter, filmmaker and animator. Each work is "a slice of life" and the effect is of a feeling forgotten or a mystery unravelling. By witholding the signpost of narrative Olivier leaves viewers examining their own desires for these little, emotive pieces which seem like so much flotsam from the artist's own life. Whilst Olivier's technique describes intense labour the videos appear and disappear leaving the viewer in their deep, gentle wake. Jacco Olivier was born in 1972 in the Netherlands. He lives and works in Amsterdam.

The title of this exhibition is a simple sentence that presents us with an act, an image, and a possibility. It evokes a certain kind of poetic potentiality in the everyday, and opens a door for exploration into things that can be simultaneously meaningless and meaningful depending on how and from where you’re looking and feeling. Someone draws a flower on a wall beside a bed draws upon this potentiality in order to open up a space in which to creatively explore and discuss the idea of the life in art. The exhibition will bring together a range of eclectic works which respond to the central concerns of the exhibition in diverse, engaging and at times wonderfully contradictory ways. There will be bread from Kashmir, painting as digital confetti, a domestic clothes line, short stories, sounds from Delhi’s streetscape, paper airplanes and childhood dreams, a typography of accidental signs made from egg cartons, an exploration of the systematization of behavior, videos of wandering lamps, of water colour portraits coming to life, of thirst and labour, factories and making, of borders and transgression, of the politics of female toilet signs, cleanliness and communication, images of war danced, and of breath, life, and the creative process. Public interventions will enter the gallery and as works emerge from the site directly; the gallery space itself will become a site of intervention. The curatorial approach works to create juxtapositions of perspective and ideas, to build subtle associations, and to assemble the space as a larger participatory project in itself through the idea of facilitating shared experience. The participating artists in the exhibition includes established and emerging artists as well as practitioners who don’t usually, or have never before, labeled themselves as artists at all, and will bring together in the School of Arts and Aesthetics Galleries of JNU works from Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Sydney, Melbourne, Seoul, New York and Guatemala City. Participating artists include Ingrid Dernee, Dipa Donde, Dhruba Dutta, Manola K. Gayatri, Bani Gill, Natasha Ginwala, Iram Ghufran, Rosita Holmes, Alana Hunt, Ish, Thomas Jacob, Ein Lall, Sophea Lerner, Ila Mehrotra, Ojasvi Mohanty, Arka Mukhopadhyay, Grace Needlman, Yoon Jung Oh, Aliya Pabani, Bhagwati Prasad, Andrew Robards, Paroma Sadhana, Inder Salim, Anthony Sawrey, Sylvia Schwenk, Beatriz Veliz and Anna Williams. This project has been initiated and curated by Alana Hunt. August 5 - 20, 2009 The School of Arts and Aesthetics Galleries, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi All are invited.

Respecting children as sovereign, equal members is a step towards recognising their voices in defining their best interest as participants and not just mute beneficiaries. Child Rights and You (CRY) welcomes applications exploring the various dimensions of child rights, the best interest principle, within the constitutional framework of Justice for Children. We seek new ideas, a combination of formal and informal approaches to explore and discover, simple and complex truths about the interplay of culture, laws, ethics and policies determining childhoods. Possible Focus Areas You are welcome to expand and interpret the themes, based on their life experiences and vision. v Creativity and imagination, in the experience and expression of childhoods, researching stories, folk songs, poems, as metaphors for social interactions v Explorations of the relationships of the child with other children, with the State, community and the family v Evidences of the assertion or rejection of the role of children in decision making arenas, such as home, school, work and play spaces and governing institutions v Gather evidence on relationships between ethnicity, inequality and conflict as witnessed and/or experienced by children v Is best interest principle, a value, a constitutional right, an interpretative advocacy instrument or a rule of law? Principles governing the Fellowship Eligibility: Applicants will be Indians residing in India, above the age of 18 years. Those previously awarded this fellowship are ineligible. Preference will be given to applicants who have studied in government schools, where no fees are charged. (Studies conducted and CRY's experiential learning of working with over 2000 deprived communities in villages and urban slums demonstrates that students attending government schools are primarily Dalits, tribals, girls and children from female headed and/or landless households.) It is expected that potential fellows ascribe to the CRY values: Respect for Human Dignity; Secularism; Non-Violence; Accountability; Innovation Transparency; Working in Partnership Language: Applicants may choose to work in any Indian language including English. Please clearly indicate the language, you plan to work with. As assessment of the application, will be conducted both in English and your working language, please include an English translation of the proposal, CV and work sample. Grant Sizes: In all up-to 10 fellowships for grant sizes ranging from Rs.50, 000 to Rs.1 lakh will be awarded. These will be support grants and fellows are free to continue their primary occupation. Proposals above one lakh will not be reviewed. Essential requirements 1. A three-page proposal, which briefly explains your topic of study, outlines the research question within a framework, proposed methodology, time schedules, a reading list of related literature/existing studies on the subject and a detailed budget 2. A two-page CV 3. A sample of your published or unpublished paper/article or any documentation done on a related theme. Proposals whose duration exceeds a year will not be reviewed Selected fellows will participate in an initial workshop to share research plans and gain from the collective experience closer to March 2010 and will also participate at a half yearly sharing meeting. CRY will sponsor travel, boarding and lodging for both these meetings. Short-listed applicants will have opportunity to share their ideas and future plans, in conversation with members of the CRY assessment team. Dissemination: Research results will be made available to activists, academics, development practitioners and interested general public through multiple fora, including language translations to influence the course of the debate on child rights and the best interest principle. Ownership: While fellows will retain authorship of the final research report and content, all information and insights gathered will be open access and available to the widest possible numbers, for no charge. Fellows are free to publish the insights of their research efforts, with appropriate acknowledgement to the National Child Rights Research Fellowship and CRY. If your proposal is part of a submission to any academic institution it will be ineligible for this fellowship as also if the fellow is already receiving funding for conduct of the research proposed. In case during the course of the Fellowship, the fellow feels the need to expand the scope and add greater depth, it is expected that CRY will be informed first about the need for additional funds. Also any other donors reached out to will be informed about CRY support for the principal work. Last Date for application is September 12th, 2009. Please E-mail your application to: research at crymail.org in the absence of internet access you may send your application by post to CRY-Child Rights and You, Documentation Centre, 189 A, Anand Estate, Sane Guruji Marg, Mumbai 400011.
