From: Franziska Schroeder <franziska@lautnet.net> Date: Oct 28, 2005 11:07 AM Subject: Call for Presentations - A new international performance conference Sorry for X posting. It didn't seem to get to rhizome when I last posted it..?? Two Thousand + SIX <<< A new international conference focusing on performance in technology mediated environments >>> This new conference will kick off as part of the 2006 Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music (www.sonorities.org.uk), hosted at the Sonic Arts Research Center, Queen=92s University Belfast (www.sarc.qub.ac.uk). The festival is the longest-running new music festival in Ireland that presents cutting-edge new music and features some of the most thought-provoking and controversial musicians. The "mini-conference" aims to reflect the innovative approach of the festival and will, for the first time, bring together performance practitioners (from music, dance, theatre and new media), composers, and theorists in order to discuss a wide variety of topics on performances that are informed by new technologies. The "mini-conference" is planned for Saturday, the 29th of April 2006 at SARC in Belfast. Paper sessions will take place in the morning and the afternoon, with two keynote speakers, a lunchtime performance and an evening concert. Keynote Speakers Susan Broadhurst Sue is a writer and practitioner in the creative arts. She is currently Subject Leader of Drama Studies at Brunel University. She is the author of " Liminal Acts: A Critical Overview of Contemporary Performance and Theory" (1999); "Digital Practices: A Critical Overview and Neuroesthetic Approach to Performance and Technology (forthcoming, 2005), and "Performance and Technology: Practices of Virtual Embodiment and Interactivity (forthcoming, 2006). Sue is also co-editor of the Body, Space & Technology online journal. www.brunel.ac.uk/about/acad/sa/artstaff/drama/susanbroadhurst Ben Watson.

This is the first and only call for artworks in this category. Proposals Due: December 15th, 2005 Final Decisions: Feb 10, 2006 SUBMISSIONS <a rel="nofollow" href="http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/register/submission.php">http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/register/submission.php</a> The consumer electronic device has become the standard currency of technology in contemporary global culture. The light bulb and the home sewing machine have bred and multiplied to fill every part of our homes, offices, pockets and purses. They have colonized industry after industry: publishing, photography, music, film, communications, and entertainment. Consumer electronics have gradually colonized publication and photography, music and film, communications and entertainment. With the constant promise of increased efficiency, these devices may be seen as improvements over previous techniques. But for every measure of ease or efficiency there are secondary effects, artifacts, and renegotiations. Far from being neutral, consumer products are powerful arguments for norms and lifestyles, suggesting and facilitating specific ways of acting and being in the world. Made by researchers and marketers working for corporations, they form a sort of culture industry. And as Theodor Adorno suggested, their products serve the interests of this industry as much as they serve their users. Artists and designers have tried to refigure the product, with varied results: Modernist painters, for instance, often incorporated coffee grinders or industrial aesthetics; Warhol even ran a factory. Electronic artists, though, are in a unique position to develop functional alternatives. Dunne and Raby have theorized a darker, more complicated "design noir," comparing traditional products to the banality of Hollywood film. Others have moved towards turning Consumer Off The Shelf (COTS) tools into weapons for activism and non-violent political dissent. Such projects acknowledge the importance of products to shape our lives, and then use the idiom of an "edgy" product to offer alternatives, stage critiques, or subvert market interests. Edgy Products is a call for work by artists and designers who are manipulating, hacking, subverting, queering, hijacking, recombining, or reformulating the notion of product. We are looking for projects large and small, for gallery installation or public intervention, for showing, selling, or gifting.

We invite the submission of literary works that take advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the computer. Works will be accepted until January 31, 2006. Up to three works per author will be considered. The Electronic Literature Collection will be an annual publication of current and older electronic literature in a form suitable for individual, public library, and classroom use. The publication will be made available both online, where it will be available for download for free, and as a packaged, cross-platform CD-ROM, in a case appropriate for library processing, marking, and distribution. The contents of the Collection will be offered under a Creative Commons license so that libraries and educational institutions will be allowed to duplicate and install works and individuals will be free to share the disc with others. The editorial collective for the first volume of the Electronic Literature Collection, to be published in 2006, is: N. Katherine Hayles Nick Montfort Scott Rettberg Stephanie Strickland This collective will review the submitted work and select pieces for the Collection.

The tentative editorial collective for the second Collection, to be published in 2007, includes Matthew G. Kirschenbaum, Marjorie C. Luesebrink, and Noah Wardrip-Fruin. Literary quality will be the chief criterion for selection of works. Other aspects considered will include innovative use of electronic techniques, quality and navigability of interface, and adequate representation of the diverse forms of electronic literature in the collection as a whole. For the first Collection, the collective will consider works up to 50 MB in size, uncompressed. Works submitted should function on both Macintosh OS X (10.4) and Windows XP. Works should function without requiring users to purchase or install additional software. Submissions may require software that is typically pre-installed on contemporary computers, such as a web browser, and are allowed to use the current versions of the most common plugins. To have a work considered, all the authors of the work must agree that if their work is published in the Collection, they will license it under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License <<a rel="nofollow" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/</a>>, which will permit others to copy and freely redistribute the work, provided the work is attributed to its authors, that it is redistributed non- commercially, and that it is not used in the creation of derivative works. No other limitation is made regarding the author's use of any work submitted or accepted. To submit a work: 1) Prepare a plain text file with the following information: a) The title of the work. b) The names and email addresses of all authors and contributors of the work. c) The URL where you are going to make your .zip file available for us to download. The editorial collective will not publish the address of this file. d) A short description of the work – less than 200 words in length. f) Any instructions required to operate the work. g) The date the work was first distributed or published, or "unpublished" if it has not yet been made available to the public. 2) Prepare a .zip archive including the work in its entirety. Include the text file from step (1) at the top level of this archive, and name it "submisson.txt". 3) Upload the .zip file to a web server so that it is available at the specified location. 4) Place all of the text in the "submisson.txt" file in the body of an email and send it to collection@eliterature.org with the name of the piece being submitted included in the subject line.

It takes the form of a 'project book', rather than a catalogue and the main idea is to start a series of 35 volumes following the historic "Enciclopedie" of Diderot and D'Alembert (probably the first example of rhizomatic publication). This first volume, numbered VIII G (read G8), is a light anthology of six Internet works done by the artist in the past five years.
