It enables new and ground breaking events and artist groups from around the world to appear within the festival. Futuresonic is looking for innovative events of international calibre, and will help ?matchmake? promoters to venues. Deadline for proposals: 22 May 2006 The Futuresonic EVNT Competition offers cash prizes for events staged as a part of the EVNT Showcase. Awards of GBP 2,500 and GBP 1,000 are available, as well as three smaller amounts of GBP 250 for runners up. Open to any programmer, curator, promoter, label or artist group anywhere in the world, with the focus on ground breaking and new events as well as one-off or adventurous events by established groups.

It is intended to enable more people to participate in the festival. Participating events in the EVNT Showcase benefit from being included in all the festival publicity, on the website and in press releases, but do not receive any other support from Futuresonic. The Futuresonic EVNT Competition offers cash prizes to enable the staging of groundbreaking events that would not otherwise be possible to present. Those who enter the competition but are unsuccessful will automatically be invited to take part in the EVNT Showcase without financial support. Futuresonic now invites anyone working in music or media arts to take part in the 2006 EVNT Showcase, with the EVNT Competition an added incentive for those who would like financial support in doing so. ||||||||| The EVNT Showcase was launched in 2005, with more than thirty events over one weekend featuring artists from as far afield as New York, Moscow, Berlin and Dallas. In 2005 it took place across the Northern Quarter at venues including The Roadhouse, Night & Day, The Basement, Bierkeller, Centro, Cord, Common, My Goodniss, Oklahoma, The Chinese Arts Centre and Taurus, each venue adding a distinctive character to the festival. EVNT came out of a collaboration in 2005 with an event mapping project of the same name supported by Arts Council England. ||||||||| Futuresonic this year celebrates its 10th anniversary, and 7th edition. The three-day festival, which runs 20-23 July at venues across Manchester, also features an extensive programme of live music by headline acts; an exhibition strand featuring internationally-renowned artists; an extensive programme of workshops; plus the Social Technologies Summit and PLAN: The Pervasive and Locative Arts Network.

But first, two appeals: * In a few weeks, the Yes Men will speak at a major conference as one of the world's biggest, nastiest companies. We're planning something every bit as bizarre as the WTO's meter-long golden phallus - but we're a bit short on funds to pull it off. If you can help, please visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theyesmen.org/contactus/#donate">http://www.theyesmen.org/contactus/#donate</a> or write to us. * On a whole other level, survivors of the Bhopal catastrophe have just completed a march from Bhopal to Delhi to protest the Indian government's refusal to help force Dow to the table; now they're beginning a hunger strike. Please support them at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bhopal.net/delhi-march.html#actions">http://www.bhopal.net/delhi-march.html#actions</a> or by donating to the Bhopal Medical Appeal (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bhopal.org/donations/">http://www.bhopal.org/donations/</a>). Now for the updates. DOW PROMOTES "POST-CAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE" Last November at a San Francisco nanotechnology conference, a "Dow representative" urged the scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs in the audience to hurry potentially dangerous nanotech products to market before they could be tested. Citing Dow's record profits despite a history of releasing dangerous and often lethal products, the representative asserted that caution is best deferred until after a product is released, and that testing ought to be performed not by the corporation but by the population at large, to give them the opportunity to participate in corporate progress. The audience, to their credit, found these ideas disturbing, but many admitted that they had no control over how the products they were developing would be released. Meanwhile, in the exhibits hall, the Yes Men discovered that nanotech products known to be dangerous are available for sale to anyone with the money…. INDIAN HIJINKS The pesticide Dursban was banned in the US in 2001; that very year, Dow opened a Dursban plant in Chiplun, India, and now manufactures and sells it in India. Last December, the Yes Men, posing as Dow managers, dropped in on the factory for an inspection. They had been told of the plant by Bhopal survivors, who are angry that Dow is able to launch new, harmful ventures in India even as they continue to get away with murder in Bhopal. Also in December, the Yes Men visited the largest agricultural fair in India and learned how companies like Monsanto sell their expensive seeds to farmers, who are often ruined when the crop doesn't perform as well as expected; thousands of farmers have lately committed suicide by drinking the pesticide that comes with the seeds, and millions more have ended up in big-city slums. After speaking to Monsanto and other company representatives to learn their sales tricks, the Yes Men successfully sold seeds armed against "amoebas and houseflies" and demonstrated a pesticide that doesn't kill but simply lobotomizes the drinker, making him or her happier with whatever happens. OIL SOLVES GLOBAL WARMING One week ago in Norway, one of the world's very richest countries, the Yes Men posed as investigative reporters at a journalism conference and revealed their "discovery" that Norway, far from being enviro-friendly as everyone believes, is probably the world's largest agent of climate change per capita. This is because (a) Norway is the world's third largest petroleum exporter, and (b) Norway invests the billions it makes from petroleum in a wide range of oil, automobile, airplane, shipping, and defense companies, via its massive "Petroleum Fund." (While Norway's aid to Pakistan, investments in ecological measures, and support of the Nobel Peace Prize are much better known, they are much smaller than its aid to Shell, Chevron, Exxon, Halliburton, etc. via the Fund.) The journalists were dumbfounded at the April Fools' talk. When the truth came out that the "investigators" were phony, many of the journalists did express surprise that the hypocrisy of a supposedly "green" country being so heavily invested in oil, pollution, and war had not received more attention. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 8.

"Identityscapes" has its starting point in the identity of the genders as the roots of each society. Through the variety of different approaches and definitions a rich, colourful landscape of human identities becomes visible via the artistic reflections manifested in the moving pictures." The festival, however, is no local phenomenon, but due to its online status it has got global relevance and can be accessed for free at any place under the conditions of a broad bandwidth Internet connection. Screenings in physical space will follow at a later stage at Cologne and many other places.

From: Jody Zellen <jodyzel2@aol.com> Date: Apr 13, 2006 8:31 AM Subject: Jessica Irish at Fringe Exhibitions JESSICA IRISH BETWEEN / EVERYDAY Exhibition Dates: April 15 - May 20, 2006 Opening Reception: Saturday, April 15, from 6 - 8 PM Fringe Exhibitions is pleased to present the work of Jessica Irish. Entitled "Between / Everyday," this site specific installation of recent video projections explores new ways to visualize and construct both the ideology and experience of the built environment. In the main space Irish will present "Level" a four channel video installation in which visual imagery composited from several domestic cities continuously shifts points of view and perspective, as concrete becomes sky and surface becomes structure. "Lightness," "Four Walls," and "Two Planes" will be presented in the downstairs space. These video works explore the nuanced conjunctures between physical and perceptual space. In addition to the video works, Irish will also present a series of digital prints on typologies mounted on aluminum that complement the projections. Jessica Irish is an artist working in video installation, interactive and print media whose work questions the relationship of the visionary to the failed, the extraordinary to the commonplace, the idea to the commodity, the network to the city, the architectural to the temporal. Her work in new media has been screened and exhibited nationally and internationally, and has received support from foundations such as Creative Capital and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Recent exhibitions include: Surround, 15 Nassau, NY; Extended Boundaries, Davis Museum, MA;ViBE 05, Manchester/ Liverpool/Chicago; Traversing the City, Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, DE; File 2004, Sao Paulo, Brazil; HOME-SELF-TRIBE, Design Exchange Museum, Toronto, Canada; Interface Patterns, Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA. Jessica Irish lives and works between New York and Boston, where she is an Assistant Professor of Art at Wellesley College and Co-Director of the new Media Arts & Sciences program. Previously, she worked in Los Angeles and was one of the founding principals of OnRamp Arts. She received her MFA at UC Irvine in 1996. Fringe Exhibitions is a new exhibition space dedicated to showing cutting edge and experimental art projects that focus on installation, video, new media art, and art that engages with technology.
