Call: Life coding opportunity at xxxxx as part of the Piksel Festival in Norway

xxxxx call 2007

xxxxx call for participation in a speculative 12 hour life coding
event (organising hardware and software) to be held in Mid-November
as part of the Piksel festival in Bergen, Norway.

Deadline for email submission: July 31st 12AM [midnight]

Life coding is a mapping of the descriptive means of hardware and
programming onto the world. In this instance it includes the invention
and construction of models and language to actively describe and code
the event; instructing, structuring, re-structuring and constructing
the 12 hours. Life coding is obviously influenced by the existence of
programming, fiction, scripting and execution.

Participation is not limited to potential forms including:

— performative presentations

— advanced participatory workshops

— actions

— interventions

The above will be assembled into shifts which move between hardware,
interface and (life) code. Proposals should suggest which shift would
be suitable. Proposed topics for shifts include open hardware in
relation to control, the world as interface, material as question of
substance (soft/hard), and the relation of technology, code and
pornography.

Please submit an introduction to your area of research/practice as
well as examples of projects, performances, texts, proposals for
advanced participatory workshops, performative presentations,
actions, interactions, interventions and email your entry to

m@1010.org

Further information on the event:

xxxxx [2007] is proposed and wilfully structured as a 12 hour life
coding event within the context of previous xxxxx activities (Crash
2005, xxxxx 2006), and influenced by Plenum (collaboration with KOP,
2006).

xxxxx [2007] will exist as a major, inspired durational, performative
event allowing for exchange and construction between invited
international participants who truly exist on the bleeding edge of
what could be termed contemporary Crash culture.

xxxxx [2007] expands software and hardware with a wilful emphasis on
construction, an interface between theory and the active entry of
making' in the world.

xxxxx [2007] as event manifests a free software-led, coded structure
of self-organisation, and unique working groups. Although some of
these events will be ongoing (for example several working groups, and
background material), the 12 hours will be assembled by way of
shifts.

Vtape's award-winning project The Curatorial Incubator returns!


This year, The Curatorial Incubator, v.5 - VIDEO ANIMATION "What's Up Doc?"
will be a search for animated gems. Artists use animation techniques to
critique the media, to conjure up the spirits, to play with history and look
into the future. Participants in What's Up Doc? hone their curatorial skills
in the media arts through workshops, independent research and writing,
culminating in a public presentation of their selected titles, accompanied
by a fully illustrated publication.


Research phase (July-August) includes: workshops conducted by established
curators, artists and arts professionals specializing in media arts and an
interest in animation,
free access to the vast research facilities on site at Vtape, with over 3500
tapes by 800+ artists and over 2000 articles on video art, and support for
external research in locating previews and screening copies of works.


Presentation phase (Sept 29 - Nov 3, 2007) includes: an exhibition of all
the curated programmes with an introduction by the curator, and a fully
illustrated catalogue of all the programmes with curatorial essays.


Proposals must include: an up-to-date c.v.; a statement of intention (1 page
in total) that outlines your interest in video animation and why you want to
be part of The Curatorial Incubator, v.5 - What's Up Doc? video and
animation; examples of critical writing you have done (published or
non-published); examples of any curatorial or organizational work you have
done.


Please indicate your availability for workshops July 28-29 and/or August
11-12, 2007). NOTE: If you are from outside of Toronto, please indicate how
you would cover the costs of your travel to the workshops (to be held over 1
weekend) and research at Vtape (minimum 1 week). And don't worry; you won't
be held to your original proposal but keep in mind that the jury will need
to get an idea of what kind of work you are going to be searching for.
Surprises are to be expected along the way. That's what research is all
about.


Send applications to:

Call: AKA and Paved Arts seek artists for interesting community project

Hi AKA members and supporters,

Tim and I have come up with this project that AKA and PAVED are taking
on over the summer and fall during our renovations. It's really
interesting; we're trying to open it up beyond the usual art
characters. Please consider applying, and forward it to others you
think might be interested!

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Thanks, and have a great summer!

Cindy




TIME SENSITIVE CALL FOR PROPOSALS
“The gallery is closed for the duration of the renovation”
A research/artist-in-residence project hosted by PAVED Arts and AKA
Gallery


THEMES: Hybrid urban art projects / Interventions / Psychogeography /
Urban planning/urbanism/urban development/research / Counternarratives
and resignifications of urban space / Gentrification, revitalization
and reuse of buildings

PAVED Arts and AKA Gallery are creating a research and intervention
project for between 2-5 cultural producers/artists to investigate
physical, social, conceptual and political readings of the Riversdale
district of Saskatoon, the location of our new building. The site of
this project is both the neighbourhood itself and the redevelopment
process that’s going on here. Our galleries as art institutions that
have moved to this neighbourhood are implicated in an influx of both
public and private capital that is fueling a transformation of property
values, ownership relations and social uses of space.


We're looking for proposals from artists and cultural producers based
both in Saskatoon, and across the country. We feel there are unique and
valuable opportunities in bringing local and national perspectives
together in dialogue. We encourage interested applicants to think
about:

- The way art institutions participate in / change the way space
functions in a neighbourhood

- Culture’s role in urban planning - the way cities think about the way
neighbourhoods are set up

- How artists relate to civic definitions of culture

- How art is deployed by institutions to effect change as compared with
ways that artists want to effect change

What is your concept/attitude towards the issues listed above? What
format(s) do you want to work with: Writing a text? Creating on-site
work? Building an installation? A performative situation that is
process-based, or site-based? Proposals for collaborations/work by
collectives are welcome. Your proposal should be clear what you will do
on your own and what you need the galleries to provide in terms of
resources.

Proposed projects may involve any combination of research, writing,
artistic creation and presentation, public interaction, or community
engagement. Potential sites include in, on, or around our building at
424 20th Street West, other neighbourhood locations, or public venues
such as posters, billboards, site-specific sculpture, television,
radio, or newspaper. The home base of this activity will be the
galleries themselves, which, during this residency project, will be
undergoing renovation. Potential off-site forms may include dialogues,
lectures, papers, performance, signage, publications, and the
production of objects. Projects will be scheduled to be realized in the
summer and/or fall of 2007. PAVED and AKA have also received funding
to install a 5 m x 15 m billboard on the face of our building, to be
completed by Nov. 2007. Projects can be developed involving the
billboard, contact us for more information.




Submissions should contain:

*Information about the applicant(s): CV/resume and a brief bio or
background summary including your discipline(s) and your role(s) within
these.

*Summary or statement of your attitudes and approaches to urban space
as a site of cultural production

*A 1 to 2 page project description, addressing the underlying ideas,
processes involved and material result of the proposed work or action,
including timeline and workplan. The project description should address
what you will be doing and what you need from the host organizations to
realize your project.

*Technical scenarios, diagrams, are encouraged as attachments (if they
will enhance the project description)

* Examples of past work – pdfs, URLs of web sites, text files, jpgs.
Physical packages accepted if you want to include video documentation,
publications and other non-emailable stuff. PLEASE do not email video
or multimedia files.

* The preferred format for all written parts of the submission is an
Abobe .pdf file attached to an email, but .doc and .txt files will
also be accepted as attachments. Visual material should be formatted as
.pdfs or .jpgs. Please contact us before sending attachments larger
than 10 MB.


Artist fees will be paid to selected artists/participants, as well as
material and production budgets to be determined. Support for out-
of-town projects will include travel and accommodation expenses.

The project is coordinated by Timothy Dallett, Artistic Director, PAVED
Arts (306) 652-5502 ext. 1 and Cindy Baker, Program
Coordinator, AKA Gallery prog.aka@sasktel.net
(306) 652-0044. For more information,
contact either of them.


SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 3, 2007 – Decisions will be made by July 6
with notification sent out shortly thereafter.

Please submit completed proposals for this project by email to:
tim@pavedarts.ca

PAVED Arts and AKA Gallery acknowledge the support of the Canada
Council for the Arts, The Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture,
SaskLotteries, SMPIA, the Saskatoon Community Foundation and the City
of Saskatoon.

Call: The Youth for International Development seeks young media artists

Dear friends,



We are very excited to be sending you the promotional materials for a brand new programming initiative that we are introducing this summer in Saskatchewan in which you, or someone you know, might be interested.



The Youth for International Development – Do It Yourself (YID-DIY) project is designed to help youth who are interested in media, international issues, or both, learn to practice their writing and art skills to make their own creative media (comic books and zines) on global issues. Two three day trainings will be held. One for post-secondary ages 18-25 from August 18 to 20 and one for secondary students ages 13 to 17 from August 24 to 26. No experience is necessary. There will be follow-up after the trainings and the participants will be strongly encouraged to complete and publish their work.



Transportation to the site for ALL participants will be provided from Regina or Saskatoon. Limited travel subsidies are available to help participants get to Regina or Saskatoon.



The attached promotional brochures (in pdf and word) contain more information about the program as well as application forms for interested participants. Apply soon as the sessions are expected to fill up. Please pass on these brochures to anyone who may be interested. Please feel free to contact us for more information.



In creative, internationalist and youthful spirit,



Tracey, Ryan and Elizabeth
