The Piksel05 artistic program is curated by Isabelle Arvers and Gisle Frøysland as a collaboration with pixelACHE 2006[1] in Helsinki and Mal au Pixel 2006 in Paris. Some of the projects will be selected to be shown in Helsinki and/or Paris. The program is now online at: www.piksel.no/piksel05 —– Piksel[2] is an annual event for artists and developers working with free/libre and open source audiovisual software. Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK)[3] and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of open source. The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy —- [1] <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pixelache.ac">http://www.pixelache.ac</a> [2] <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piksel.no">http://www.piksel.no</a> [3] <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bek.no">http://www.bek.no</a> —– – +—gif@bek.no +47329234+4790665018c.sundtsgt.55,5004bg. www.xn--frysland-64a.com —+ <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mob.bek.no">http://mob.bek.no</a> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Support Rhizome: buy a hosting plan from BroadSpire <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rhizome.org/hosting/">http://rhizome.org/hosting/</a> Reliable, robust hosting plans from $65 per year.

Taking place both online and offline, the workshops will open up the art of game modification to the contingencies of everyday life, where virtual technologies increasingly mediate physical spaces and human movements in very complex and dynamic ways. Networked across multiple cities, the symposium will be organized around three core themes: "Hybridity", "Overclocking the city" and "The virtual world as interface to self and society." Where: Ghent, New York, Rotterdam, and the Internet When: October, November & February 2005 - 2006 For more details and to register for Breaking the Game workshop please visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.workspace-unlimited.org/breakingthegame">http://www.workspace-unlimited.org/breakingthegame</a> or visit our website at: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.workspace-unlimited.org">http://www.workspace-unlimited.org</a> Breaking the Game is supported by: Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds, Vlaamse Gemeenschap, V2_Organization, Vooruit Kunstencentrum. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Kind regards from the Workspace Unlimited team.

From: Gregory Scranton <miniapple20@yahoo.com> Date: Oct 19, 2005 4:11 PM Subject: ARTISTIC APPROPRIATION IN THE AGE OF LITIGATION For Immediate Release For Further Information Contact: September 1, 2005 Berman Museum of Art 610-409-3500, or College Communications, 610-409-3300 ARTISTIC APPROPRIATION IN THE AGE OF LITIGATION IS TOPIC FOR A DAY OF ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS AND WORKSHOPS COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. ? ?Begging, Borrowing and. . . . Stealing? - Artistic Appropriation in the Age of Litigation? is the topic of a day of roundtable discussions and workshops to be held Nov. 8 on the Ursinus College campus. Renowned experts in the areas of copyright and intellectual property law; visual artists and writers; curators; and librarians will serve as panelists for this newsworthy topic. The conference will be held in Olin Auditorium on the Ursinus campus, and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity (2001), National Public Radio commentator, and Director of Communication Studies at New York University, will open the day?s program with a keynote address. A cultural historian and media scholar, he has also written for American Scholar, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New York Times Magazine, and other publications. The Chronicle of Higher Education called him ?one of the best-known scholars of intellectual property and its role in contemporary culture.? His new book, The Anarchist in the Library was released in May. In an age given over increasingly to litigation, the conventions of artistic appropriation are adopted with ever more risk by practicing artists, despite the fact that these conventions are time-honored within the histories of art, literature, music, and film, among others. This day-long conference will explore the complexities, ambiguities, ambivalences, and outright disagreements that occur where art-making, law-making, and the determination of what constitutes fair use and free expression meet in the world of artistic and creative ?borrowing.? Pre-registration is required, for which a nominal fee will be charged. For more information, contact Susan Shifrin, Associate Director of Education at the Berman Museum of Art, (610) 409-3500. This program is supported in part through the Ursinus College Arts & Lectures program. Exhibitions and programs at the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art are also funded in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Ursinus College, founded in 1869, is a highly selective, nationally ranked, independent, coeducational liberal arts college, located on a scenic, wooded, 168-acre campus, 28 miles from Center City Philadelphia. Known for quality programs in the arts and sciences, it is one of only 8 percent of U.S. colleges to possess a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PANELISTS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nathalie Anderson, poet, Swarthmore College Robert Clarida, partner, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, New York Theodore Harris, muralist and collagist Marjorie Heins, attorney and Coordinator, Free Expression Policy Project, William J.
