e-MobiLArt: European Mobile Lab for Interactive Artists

European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists (e-MobiLArt) is a project tailored around the process of creating collaborative interactive installation artworks. Such interactive mediated environments may involve the use of multimodal interfaces, ubiquitous computing and mobile or locative media technologies.

The e-MobiLArt project aims to provide selected participants with an ideal context, that will allow them to travel, collaborate and exhibit their work.

During this project, artists and scientists who are active in creating interactive media art or pursuing innovative interdisciplinary research will have the opportunity to:

- create interactive installation artworks
- collaborate with other artists and scientists from different countries
- get technical support and tuition from experts on using innovative technologies for creating interactive art
- meet, discuss and collaborate with curators and museum organizers
- exhibit their work in at least two different European countries
- document their work in a special issue of Leonardo Electronic Almanac and the exhibition catalogue
- participate in an international network of artists, researchers, academics and theorists

Eligibility / requirements:

Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply to e-MobiLArt: interactive installation artists, video artists, visual artists, net artists, as well as musicians, choreographers, performance artists and others who wish to experiment with the use of interactive technologies.

Individuals with a scientific background and the willingness to experiment in a collaborative artistic project, as described above, are also eligible.
Selected participants will attend three (3) workshops.

During (and in between) the workshops, participants will work in groups in order to develop their projects by:

- Following an open process of artistic creation and experimentation
- Getting support on technical and theoretical issues
- Complementing each other’s skills within an interdisciplinary collaborative creative process
- Enhancing their technical skills through hands-on creative activity
- Creating artworks that will reflect the process of intercultural dialogue
- Participating in an on-line network of communication
Dates of the workshops: (precise dates will be announced till the end of February)
- 1st Workshop: Athens, June 2008
- 2nd Workshop: Rovaniemi, August 2008
- 3rd Workshops: Vienna, February 2009

Exhibitions:

After the workshops, the resulting interactive installation artworks will be exhibited in at least two museum / gallery spaces: the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Greece (possibly during the 2009 Biennale) and the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland.

These exhibitions will take place in autumn 2009.

Deadline for applications: Sunday, March 16th, 2008.

Call: IEG seeks artworks for exchange themed exhibition

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Jurors: Lori Gordon and Jennifer Delos Reyes, Directors

In conjunction with the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (SJICA), the Infinite Exchange Gallery (IEG) will participate in the upcoming ZERO1 biennial in 2008. This event will take place on June 6, 2008, from 6-11 pm. The festival will be closing down the street, to present an art street fair. Spaces along this street will be open late for the evening including Macla, Works, Anno Domini, the Quilt Museum and Space 47. For more information, visit the Zero1 website: 01sj.org.

IEG knows the value of art and believes that everyone should have access to it in their daily lives. It is in essence, an art market functioning outside of the 'art market' constraints. Located within this type of setting, the venue serves as a place where people can feel comfortable bargaining and trading.

Presenting works and services in exchange for non-monetary trades, artists determine what they feel the value of their work is and what they want in exchange for it. This agreement ensures the cooperative collaboration that manifests between the gallery representatives and the buyer. The viewers are thereby invited to swap and potentially even haggle in exchange for what they want.

Deadline for entries:
Received by January 15, 2008
Exhibition event:
June 6, 2008, from 6-11 pm.
Work Samples:
Digital files -- Up to five jpgs (under 2 MB).

Delos Reyes and Gordon have been collaborating on various projects, since meeting at a residency program in New York at The Kitchen in 2006. Both artists are interested in work that investigates relational aesthetics, gift economies and activities of the everyday. They are founders of the LRH Collective.

She has exhibited videos, installations, and site-specific participatory work across North America.
