C a l l f o r A r t i s t s - Exploring Your Invisible Paradise! 30-10 till 02-11-2008DEADLINE EXTENDED - Submit your work until 9th of June 2008
Take this opportunity to participate in the 2nd edition of Image Radio – a young festival for new ideas in digital culture, taking place in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
The festival is also an experiment, critical reflection, and preview of how new media in public space impact our cultural, social and physical surroundings. The increase of display devices, data clouds, sensor networks, particularly in urban centers, provides a new medium. Public space becomes a playground in which dynamic and manipulative data influence our perception. Potential applications are shown in experimental installations. Theory, discussion and exchange on these topics are facilitated in the seminar program and symposium. ]]>

Speech and the faculty of meta-reflection about one's language are inherent characteristics of human beings. All projects shown in the exhibition YOU OWN ME NOW UNTIL YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. are originally Internet-based artworks. The main common ground is their starting point in the exploration of our language with its arbitrary systems and rules, its corresponding functions within society, as well as with its absurdities and restrictions for the individual. Rather than to focus on the isolated - literary/literally - artwork, the exhibition highlights general artistic tendencies leading to a discursive process, which originates from the Internet and finds its way back to the "virtualities of our real life".Besides general information and documentation about YOU OWN ME NOW UNTIL YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. the website of the exhibition includes the possibility to extend the concept as well as the list of selected works of art.

EXHIBITION CONCEPT:
Speech and the faculty of meta-reflection about one's language are inherent
characteristics of human beings. All projects shown in the exhibition YOU
OWN ME NOW UNTIL YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. are originally Internet-based
artworks. The main common ground is their starting point in the exploration
of our language with its arbitrary systems and rules, its corresponding
functions within society, as well as with its absurdities and restrictions
for the individual. Rather than to focus on the isolated -
literary/literally - artwork, the exhibition highlights general artistic
tendencies leading to a discursive process, which originates from the
Internet and finds its way back to the "virtualities of our real life".
According to Ferdinand de Saussure's theses, human language can be divided
into three fundamental aspects: the biological preconditions for speaking
(langage), the fixed system of rules and signs (langue) and the act of
speaking itself (parole). The supposition that the language system - thought
as a collective institution of norms - and the speech act - thought as an
individual, coherent and meaningful utterance - are linked reciprocally and
that there is no backflow into the system without speaking, it becomes clear
that human language withdraws itself from an immediate observation. Language
can only be examined in the course of the reconstruction of the process of
its appearance, that is, its articulation. Considering this point of view of
our communication system, the question arises if, accordingly, language is
an exclusively virtual product, the existence of which begins and ends with
its realisation.
In parallel, digital artworks are predetermined by the binary (linguistic)
code, but do not become "real" (commonly comprehensible) until the code is
transformed into text, image, and/or sound (by opening the data file and
executing the commands). Both language and digital artworks are based on
processes, transformations, and a continuous fluidity. The creation of
digital artworks is built upon the active participation of the user just
like the existence of language is built upon a speaking person. Hence, word
and image are no longer integer parts of the artwork, or langue and langage
(as thought by Saussure) are no longer part of parole. The individual
elements of both are entangled in a performative act making interpretation
obsolete. The open work manifests itself by intermediation and is created
individually through every new reception. But what happens if the user
closes the data file, or if the speaking person stops talking?
"In the end there is nothing of an object here, just a process, a set of
rules that leads you to the point of questioning unicity, ownership, and the
object-like nature of digital art works and what you can own is nothing more
than the memory of it."
Tending Networks: The 5th Aotearoa Digital Arts Symposium will address new developments, connections, and opportunities in digital, new media and electronic art practice in New Zealand and internationally.The symposium will feature presentations by major international artists Young Hae Chang Heavy Industries of Korea, and Adam Hyde, a New Zealander based in Amsterdam. A wide range of artists and researchers from Christchurch and around New Zealand will present current projects, and panel discussions will focus on the creation of new work, including the role of community networks, the value of collaboration, and the challenges posed by exhibiting digital art. ]]>

Electrofringe 2007 programme is now online. This is one of my favourite festivals, and it takes place annually in Newcastle, north of Sydney, Australia. During the festival Newcastle comes alive with creatives from all parts of Australia and overseas. The umbrella festival is called This is Not Art. Last year's festival was really hands on, which made it extra fun. This year looks set to keep your creative juices flowing also, with sessions such as Physical Computing : 1, Radio Locus Workshops such as Build your own Radio, Mulchwerk, a Dorkshop Sense & Control, a Homemade Instruments workshop Gestural Control & Feedback plus heaps more. The electrofringe website has the full program and a day by day listing of each workshop / panel session / project presentation / gig and happening. The other bonus to the festival is stopping to chat with friends and strangers about the festival and projects everyone has been working on over the year. Some documentation from previous years festivals is on this site, or check out the previous years festivals links on the electrofringe site.

]]>We are a group of media professionals working on issues of gender justice, human rights and development.
We founded DRISHTI as a Non Profit Public Charitable Trust in 1993, with a firm faith in the ability of video, theatre, radio, other media and the arts to contribute to struggles for a just, humane and peaceful society.
We believe that social communication need not be dry, boring, pedantic or depressing. In fact we believe that good form and technique must be used to communicate issues of social importance more effectively.
We work in partnership with the people whose lives, stories and experiences make the subject of our films. People are not reduced to passive objects of our creative process. They participate in it with a sense of ownership, and get involved in conceptualizing its contents, writing the scripts, acting and making edit selections. In other words, we help communities use the media as a means to articulate their resistance to structures of oppression, to communicate an alternative vision, to put forth their dreams and aspirations. We believe this process itself can be empowering, and therefore is as important as the end product of any project we undertake.
We work to ensure the widest possible dissemination of our films. Through video screenings organized by NGOs and women’s groups amongst small communities, our films create a lateral networking of knowledge and ideas at the grassroots level.
Communicating alternative value frameworks using alternative media does not mean we under-value the power and importance of the mass media, their incredible outreach, along with their ability to impact mainstream and also middle class attitudes. We have worked with the weekly serial format on radio as well as produced public service advertisements for the television networks in India.
Apart from production work in video, theatre and radio, we also undertake training and media planning for campaigns and events.
Drishti is structured as a collective of individuals. We are distinct in our creative identities and areas of concern, yet together in ideology, approach and spirit.
