Call: A DIAMOND IN THE MUD seeks artists for "A Miniature Audio Exhibition of Stereophonic Soundscape & Horspiel Works"

A DIAMOND IN THE MUD


A Miniature Audio Exhibition of Stereophonic Soundscape & Horspiel Works

Call For SHORT STEREOPHONIC SOUNDSCAPE & HOERSPIEL WORKS: A DIAMOND IN THE MUD
Deadline: September 15, 2008

PROJECT CONCEPT: It is an Asian concept rooted in Buddhism that self-cultivation can be developed at home as a householder and is not merely confined to a temple or monastery. Buddhist believe that enlightened beings are those who "grew" out of the "mud" of the material world. So, like the lotus flower, which penetrates through sullied mud and water, but emerges unspoiled, enlightened beings are beautiful and pure even though they grow up in the material world. The phrase "a diamond in the mud" is an analogy for this and in keeping with it the Digital Art Weeks would like to issue this call to artists and to submit pre recorded works (Soundscape, Horspiel, Poetry) in regard to the beautiful and the sullied. The works will be chosen on their ability to transcend the listeners into a "moment of tranquilly" and out of the confines of the everyday, or as expressed in the Diamond Sutra: "Dwell upon nothing and produce the pure mind."

PLAYBACK SYSTEM: Constructed as a dock for Apple's famed iPod, the iCarta stereophonic audio playback system will be used to play back all of the selected works. The system not only offers an interesting solution for public pod-casting, but it also acts uniquely as a bathroom dispenser for the indispensable: Le papier toilette. - Art Clay, DAW, Artistic Director (c) 2008


DEADLINE: Monday, 15th September 2008. Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out on or before Monday, 22nd September 2008.

Call: LIMA'08: MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY call for submissions

LIMA'08: MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY


Open call for projects. Deadline: August 31, 2008

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.

Trampoline celebrates over 10 years in new media art...


THE THEME: THE SURVEILLANCE CITY

If we are not to be played and lost like Pawns scrabbling on the surface of
a chessboard we need to understand the rules of the game we are engaged in.

As developers buy up our city centres for regeneration into 'desirable
properties for the market', a similar appropriation is taking place within
the spectrum that lies above. The air we breathe is itself becoming digital
real estate, an intangible landscape carried on radio waves, filling the
voids of our cities like Dark Matter.

The new city is coming – a city whose spaces are connected by hidden
electronic passages and data crawl-throughs, spaces where our movements are
traceable, recordable and identifiable by the litter of data we carelessly
drop and the Web 2.0 we unwittingly spin in the chatter of our networks.

Trampoline celebrates over 10 years in new media art in November with a look
at how artists are teaching themselves the game plan for this wireless,
super conductive urban landscape that is emerging around us.


Trampoline is calling for submissions in 2 areas of interest:

1. SURVEILLANCE CITY
>From video, animation, installation, sculpture, performance, live music, and
web streaming Trampoline welcomes all forms of artistic expression with a
critique of digital culture.

2. NEW MEDIA PERFORMANCE
In addition to this, Trampoline will curate a programme of new media
performance celebrating the diversity of 10 years in this area. Of
particular interest are performance video, live streaming, audio tours and
participatory, mobile projects.

For further details on how to submit work, please go to

The Spatial Audio Creative Engineering Network (SpACE-Net) is pleased to
announce a unique collaborative opportunity for composers, sound
artists, and sound designers working anywhere in the audio industry.

In partnership with leading audio company and soundcard designer

exciting).

The selected partnership/group will be supplied with a Creative Sound
Blaster(r) X-Fi Elite Pro Sound, a set of Creative(r) GigaWorks S750 7.1
loudspeakers and Creative¹s custom Interactive Spatial Audio

artist¹s to keep. In addition SpACE-Net will contribute towards
artist¹s fees and expenses related to the completion of this work.

Since 1979 the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede has been seeking to promote young artists who explore innovative positions in the field of contemporary art. Today artists, whose work addresses complex aesthetic, cultural or political issues, rarely find the necessary support to realize their ambitious projects. This is why the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede wishes to offer these artists the opportunity to develop their work in the course of a residential scholarship of three or six months.

The Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede offers ideal working conditions. The historic remise of the castle of Bleckede has been restored and transformed into three studios, each of which provides an extensive work space and a comfortable living area. The castle is located in the nature reserve Elbufer Drawehn close to the river Elbe. The placid environment guarantees an atmosphere of undisturbed concentration. The scholarship includes a monthly grant of Euro 1.400,- , which is made available for up to three scholarship holders at any one time, by the state of Lower Saxony.

The city of Lüneburg is not far away. Here the innovative programme of exhibitions and events staged by the Kunstraum of the University of Lüneburg and the Halle für Kunst Lüneburg e.V. allows the participation in the contemporary art world. If required, the facilities of the cultural studies-course at the University of Lüneburg might be used.

Moreover Hamburg and Berlin is within easy reach, both of which have a thriving cultural life. The residential scholarship of the Künstlerstätte Schloss Bleckede is associated with the international exchange program Pépinières Européenes pour Jeunes Artistes.

The strictly spaces of time could only be modified (for example April till September or October till December), if an other artists will agree with a change.

The artistic council and the representatives of the borough of Lüneburg plan to finalise the awarding of residencies for the period of 2008 in October 2007.

ArtCast: open call for sound art

folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in Lancashire,
Cumbria and online, is developing ArtCast, an ongoing series of
podcasting programmes at www.folly.co.uk, as a platform for public
access to new and innovative sound art.

Building on the success of OWN [SOUND] ART (2007) at www.folly.co.uk/
soundnetwork, a series of podcasts specially commissioned in
partnership with SoundNetwork, folly intends to deliver a quarterly
series of podcasts exploring the possibilities of the medium, and
will launch the first in this series as part of VELOCITY, folly's
second Festival of Digital Culture:

VELOCITY Festival of Digital Culture - See the Bay differently
12th October - 3rd November 2007

VELOCITY is ground-breaking new arts festival where you can explore
digital art in the sublime context of the coastal rail route between
Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness. Presented in and around train
stations, online and for download at www.folly.co.uk

VELOCITY is folly's second annual Festival of Digital Culture and
builds on the success of the f.city festival held in Lancaster city
centre in 2006 which resulted in over 55,000 people engaging with new
media art practice.

VELOCITY will open up new ways of seeing life around Morecambe Bay,
engaging with the vibrant communities that line the coast and
furthering the role that the arts has in sustaining the spectacular
landscape of the South Lakes and North Lancashire.

VELOCITY... celebrating the role of creative technology in connecting
people to places.

folly is calling for open submissions of existing audio work, from
the broad spectrum of contemporary sound art practice. Submissions
should address themes and subjects broadly relating to the ethos of
VELOCITY, including but not limited to: travel, movement, landscape,
engagement with communities, rural sustainability.

VELOCITY will take place on and around the rail route from Lancaster
to Barrow-in-Furness in the North West of England, so folly is
looking for podcastable content which can be downloaded and
experienced on journeys through and around this area. As part of the
festival, folly is also keen to broadcast selected works via the loud
speaker systems at stations along the rail route.

Submissions are welcome from all artists working with sound,
experimental musicians and composers, writers and performance artists
etc, basically anyone who has created work which they consider to be
suitable for an audio podcast.

folly welcome submissions from international artists

The deadline for submissions is 14th September 2007

Sonic Arts Network, www.sonicartsnetwork.org, will join folly in the
selection of works in late September 2007

Successful submissions will be published as podcasts from 1st October
2007

Call: The Extensible Electric Guitar Festival seeks participants

Call for Presentations
SYMPOSIUM: ‘Instruments of the Post-Prohibitive Age’
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 01/01/08
http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/mmalsky/xeg/xeg.html

Our symposium begins where Kyle Gann’s keynote to the Extensible Toy
Piano Festival (Nov. 2005) left us — with a consideration of the
‘post-prohibitive era’.** Listeners have access to music from every
historical era, social context and geographic location, and it’s all
accessible instantaneously. Musicians can synthesize all previous
musical thought. Every musical style, unusual sound, revolutionary
impulse or aesthetic ideal can be incorporated into new music. If
modernism’s relationship with mass-culture was marked by a fear of
contagion, our post-prohibitive era might be thought of in terms of
information-overload. And how do we go about making sense of it all?

Matt Malsky and David Claman, the directors of the Extensible Electric
Guitar Festival, invite paper proposals for a symposium as part of the
Festival on April 4-5, 2008. This symposium will provide a forum for an
open and far-ranging discussion on themes and issues complementary to
the Festival. Presentations will be 30 minutes long. Possible topics
might include (but are not limited to):

- instruments vs. instrumentality: guitars and other expressive objects
and formation of listening subjects
- pleasurable sounds: entertainment & music’s relationship to mass culture
- music and technoculture: musical means, creativity and technological
possibility
- gendering instruments
- racial perspectives on guitars and guitar music
- historical perspectives on musical performance and social practices
- multimedia and new music:the intersection of new musical instruments
in diverse media
- the political economy of contemporary composition: the composer and
our division of musical labor
- the (impossible) concert: music in everyday/public life
- the live and the canned: performance and listening in the age of the
studio
- post-literacy in music: aurality vs. orality

Proposals should be no more than 500 words and include audio-visual
requirements. Please submit your proposal by January 1, 2008 via email
to or by surface post to:

The Extensible Electric Guitar Festival

Department of Visual and Performing Arts
