Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY'

johannes grenzfurthner — Sat, 25 May 2013 06:11:10 -0500

Arse Elektronika 2013
ID/ENTITY

monochrom's festival on sex and tech and id/entities. October 3-6, 2013 in San Francisco.

Call for talks, performances, workshops, games, machines. Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2013

----------------

Sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for Arse Elektronika 2013.

Identity, but also identification. Technologies for the exploration of identities. Technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. Technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. Technologies for the verification of identities. For example: What about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for "real names"?

We typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. What is this entity? Are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? How is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? What might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? What does sexual desire mean to a dolphin?

We have technology-based identities. If we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity AND position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself?

The Bay Area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. So, how does the Californian Ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality?

Will apps like Bang With Friends and gadgets like Google Glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? And why are services like LinkedIn explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients?

What have been the social ramifications of Web 2.0, ten years on? By what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? What is the design history of the drop-down gender menu- and its alternatives? How did Facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? What has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? What are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? What are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet?

What technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? What would TSA protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? What does counter-surveillant fashion look like? How might we ensure the right not to be found? (Should we?) Are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? Are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment?

If an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the Other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? Is 'queer identity' an oxymoron?

Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the UK "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." Interesting times for sex tech? Indeed!

What about a historic dimension? What were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? What were the technologies of masked rituals? What technologies drove the invention of privacy? How did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? Besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? How was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? What is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?"

How will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? What are we without our iPhone and our beloved designer vibrator? Is the Marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism?

If orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one's sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? So, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing?

What about Big Data in a sexual context? Does size matter?

What about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's AI?

Well... dear entities out there, with your proud Egos, Super-Egos and Hyper-Egos! Never forget that there is an Id lurking round the corner! The real Voight-Kampff test is not minding that it hurts!

Fair and Lost
"During the performance I'm wearing electrodes on both arms and I try to wear makeup. Involuntary muscle contractions caused by electric shock are very strong so that I cannot control the hands and the makeup spreads all over my face. We hear the chorus of Nabucodonosor by Giuseppe Verdi, which has a very strong symbolic value in the history of my country, bringing along the ghosts of old struggles for freedom that no one remembers anymore. “My country, fair and lost”. The hysterical, uncontrollable, movement of the hand represents the disease of social habit, which reveals its fragility when the system appears on the point of collapsing: the deep conflict between a conscious behaviour and external social conditioning. Even crying is involuntary, caused by the black pencil and mascara entering my eyes since I cannot calibrate the movement of the hand. A mechanical cry that is automatically transmitted to the audience, in a sort of empathic conditioned connection, unconscious and therefore completely useless".
The performance is part of a larger project: http://withanhelmet.blogspot.it/
Link to video of performance: https://vimeo.com/62669680

Francesca Fini is an Italian artist working with video and performance. Her live projects, always addressing social and political issues, are mixed with lo-fi technology, homemade interaction design devices and video. She hacks everyday objects such as surveillance cameras, wi-mote sensors and therapeutic electrodes, mostly used to give to her work an ironic flavor. “Technology is interesting, but rather than call your smartphone I prefer to twist your stomach talking to you in a plastic cup connected to a string”. In 2012 she took part to the first “Venice International Performance Art Week”

#WB: quoting Walter Benjamin
An interactive media reading

A print compilation and real-time performance reflecting the contemporary relevance of the media theorist and philosopher Walter Benjamin. The structure of facebook as a social networking tool and magazine with decentralized notes,essays and media publications, in a mixture of private and public statements coming from all kinds of content fields, enhanced the concept of short daily updating and interactive communication to collectively create an associative publication on life and oeuvre of Walter Benjamin.

Tribute to Hans Richter
A participative audiovisual enactment
on contemporary issues of the artistic and the political sovereign

Oscillating between the conscious creation of fiction and unconscious narration, improvised performance and collective artistic action; reflecting the role of the artist as so-called professional and that as a political sovereign; exploring aesthetic deepening and social
action, the interactive audiovisual enactment Tribute to Hans Richter is an appreciation of the aesthetic work and the political attitude of the Dadaist and early experimental filmmaker Hans Richter. In a common experience with the audience, it reviews the Dadaist approaches developed in the beginnings of film history in terms of their contemporary relevance for Expanded Cinema in the second decade of the 21st Century.

Blessed Simonida from the Brilliant Grounds
An audiovisual enactment on contemporary issues of the political sovereign following Brecht

Simonida is a Romni who works and lives at Hotel am Brillantengrund, the name of the hotel describing its location in a quarter of Vienna which once was the most wealthy industrial quarter of the city. Simonida enjoyed thorough education but to make a living she works as a waitress but knows poverty very well. She is aware of the plight of those who struggle for daily bread, but she is convinced that people – however they want to live or however they can make a living - deserve a life of prosperity and recognition. She tirelessly
fights for the rights of the disenfranchised, but her battle is getting tougher in a capitalism being as shattered as ruthless. Simonida is stretched to her limits. Does this struggle make sense at all?
Blessed Simonida from the Brilliant Grounds is a real-time improvisation taking a critical look at present social developments in Europe – introducing an outlook which may not always awaken
high hopes, but there is one aspect the director Alexandra Reill certainly never forgets: never forget how fragile people are.

ADJUNCT PROFESSOR - CONCEPTS IN GAMING, HUNTER COLLEGE, CUNY

Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga — Wed, 22 May 2013 20:09:30 -0500

The Hunter College Film and Media Studies Department is searching for an instructor to teach the undergraduate Fall 2013 Concepts in Gaming course.

Course Description:
This course surveys the historical basis of and current practices in game design, which is phase one of game development. Just as a study of rhetoric and persuasive argument lays the foundation for effective written communication, the study of game design lays the foundation for an equally effective digital communication. While the structure of games may seem like a small fraction of interactive design, the concepts related in this class should prove fundamental to your ability to design any interactive experience from a simple website to a MMORPG.

This course is scheduled for Fridays from 1:10 - 4pm. The fall 2013 semester begins on August 27th and runs through December 22nd (end of finals period). The course meets for a 14 week period and is followed by a final.

Applicants should have an MA or MFA and previous college level teaching experience.

Please send a CV and relevant urls to:rmira@hunter.cuny.edu

P.S. 1010 - CONCORD

Raphael Arar — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:29:46 -0500

We’re taking Concord on the road to research the connections between art, social spaces, and education. And we’re Kickstarting to do it. We’re going to buy a school bus to convert into a mobile laboratory, gallery, and gathering place, where community organizers, teachers, and artists can connect and create.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/193676915/ps1010

1 yellow Bluebird /// 11 stops /// 20 days /// 1890 miles /// 40 invited artists, performers, and social practitioners

$12,000

For your pledge: We’ll text you a secret from the back of the bus. /// We’ll write your name in every rest stop we visit. /// Invite you to drive your car into Concord for a drive-in movie. /// Give you our travel journals or an editioned work.

VISIT OUR KICKSTARTER HERE : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/193676915/ps1010

---

Concord’s two main interests have been collectivity—both as a process and an object of inquiry—and participation—our audiences engage and interact rather than witness or view. This collective usership makes Concord a space where learning happens. Here, we learn through exploration, collaboration, and experience. What is learned is both embodied and intellectual, immersive and discursive.

How might we explore this connection between art and education? What is the relationship between the emancipated spectator and the empowered student? If activity and criticality distinguish both radical aesthetics and radical pedagogy, what happens when these contexts not only intersect but merge? P.S.1010 will be a space to investigate these questions.

We will convert a school bus into a mobile laboratory, gallery, and classroom. A roving gathering place for artists, teachers, and communities. We will curate and create workshops, exhibitions, performances, and discussions as modes of collectively building and sharing knowledge—inviting local participants to respond to our mission and providing them with a platform to do so. We will gather the results of this experimental research—scores of dances, transcripts of lectures, documentation of installations—into evolving syllabi to disseminate and share.

The school bus is a figure for horizontal learning. A place where peers trade gossip and their own ideas about things. Where forming relationships happens alongside English Cliff Notes. Where affective labor is as important as intellectual. Where boundaries of teacher and taught breaking down and yield to exchange, sharing, and community building. A school bus operates on the fringes of institutions: between school and home.

Like Concord, P.S.1010 is both an art project and a project space. Collectively built and collectively curated, P.S.1010 will enact our mission in methodology and in form. As a space, P.S.1010 will be a ground for connecting across locations and time zones, and for collaborating across disciplines. The bus itself will be social sculpture, shaped by conversions, installations, and the evolution of our trip.

Some themes that our collective and invited guests will explore: theorizing the politics of imagination, queer afterlife, collective building, problem-posing education, locative writing, landscape archeology, embodied knowledges, and community organizing. In the month leading up to our event, Concord will be offering a Sunday School workshop series, free ride sessions, as well as a massive syllabus share.

The bus has two planned destinations/exhibitions: Good Children Gallery in New Orleans and a Studio Hangar in California City. But if the goal is to let new practices emerge, our approach must be open to detours, contingent re-directions, and mishaps. We will be traveling across the country to communities we want to learn from. We will be gathering methods and materials to teach. And we invite you and your friends to ride with us.

THE CENTER FOR EPIGENETIC CLONING by Jonathan Keats

team titanic — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:46:09 -0500

Jonathon Keats
THE CENTER FOR EPIGENETIC CLONING

Exhibition: 01.06.-08.06.2013
Opening: 31.05.2013 | 7pm

An American researcher has developed the world's first trouble-free human cloning technique, promising to make replication of people as routine as downloading movies. To market the new methodology, which applies the emerging field of epigenetics, experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats is launching a Berlin-based company that will duplicate some of the most famous living people, including Lady Gaga and Angela Merkel. The company will also clone some of the most well-known figures in history, including Jesus Christ.

"Potentially we can clone anybody who ever lived," claims Mr. Keats. "We can bring them back from the dead, and I don't just mean like a one-time Tupac hologram." To promote the widest possible use of epigenetic cloning, he has made all of the technology open source, and is inviting collaborations from institutions including UNESCO and the Pirate Bay. He is also designing a cocktail to epigenetically clone himself, though he cautions that the consequences of using it will be beyond his control: "My clones will each have a will of their own."

Jonathon Keats's Epigenetic Cloning Agency will be open for business at team titanic from 31st of May to 7th of June, with an opening reception at 7:00 PM the 31st.

TOUCH.MY.PRINTS. ISSUE02 IMAGE VS DATA

Aaron Brumbelow — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:00:43 -0500

Touch.My.Prints. ISSUE02

IMAGE vs DATA

Photography has long been concerned with data retention within the act of the photograph. Photographers are taught to expose, develop, and digitally capture in a method to maintain the most information possible. Every step in a photographer’s workflow is a careful dance to keep data. It doesn’t matter if we are talking film or digital, every photographic process is essentially the mastery of data retention. The reasoning is, having the most information available allows for the most creative interpretations of the information.

Touch.My.Prints wants to explore this concept of the photography as data as opposed to image. TMP will provide an image for every participant to take. Each participant will use the image as data and create a new piece of work. The new work can be video, sculpture, sound, video, even a drastic reinterpretation of the image, etc. A selection of the new works and their creators will be featured in Touch.My.Prints. ISSUE02.

The deadline is June 01, 2013.

INSTRUCTIONS

Save the image. Use the data the image file provides to create a new piece of work. The new work can take any form, any medium, any function, in fact, preferably so. Then send the new work to TouchMyPrints @ gmail .com following the guidelines below.

DESIGNING A BETTER FUTURE: A PARTICIPATORY PLATFORM FOR EXCHANGE

Deadline for proposals: June 1, 2013; notification of selection: June 20, 2013.

Designing a Better Future: A Participatory Platform for Exchange
Artists and designers operating as thinkers and communicators, visualizers and producers, can be leaders in changing how we think, live, and act in order to make a better world. Are we ready to discuss cultural production and the arts as viable and meaningful practices beyond the established system of commodity trading? What potential models of an effective creative practice can we envision and develop?

Artists, designers, media producers, photographers, filmmakers, architects, writers, theorists, educators, and cultural historians are invited to submit proposals for presentation and discussion that will inspire others to join them in imagining, inventing, and actualizing a more sustainable and enlightened possible future, whether it be local or global.

What would you do to effect change? What would that look like? Do aesthetics matter?

We seek provocative and challenging theoretical concepts and/or models for practical application. Encouraged are visionary, daring, and unconventional ideas and collaborations across fields in the arts, sciences, and humanities that conceive different ways to address social, economic, and environmental realities.

General topics and themes to consider may include:

Climate change, the environment, and sustainable living: consumption, energy, waste, food, water, air, and economic and social consequences
The culture of violence: all its social, political, cultural, and economic manifestations
Technology and human rights: biological, political, intellectual, and spiritual
Presentation Format
The format for presentation will be an interactive forum of exchange between speakers and audience. There will be no podium. Speakers will be placed within the audience. Presentations may include visuals such as images, texts, charts, etc.

Each speaker will be given seven minutes to present his or her proposal. The audience will then have equal time—seven minutes—to respond and discuss. Time may be slightly less or more depending on the number of outstanding proposals selected.

Submission Instructions
Please send a description of your topic and the theoretical concepts and/or model that you intend to propose in approximately three hundred words, plus a brief biography or CV of no more than two pages. The written proposal must include a title, name(s) of author(s), address, email, and phone number. Please submit all proposal files as PDF documents to studio@meme01.com. Deadline for proposals: June 1, 2013; notification of selection: June 20, 2013.

As we begin accepting submissions for this year’s awards, we will be looking for artistic projects that offer innovative perspectives on life by using the latest technology and cutting-edge scientific knowledge.

VIDA the Art and Artificial Life International Awards begun in 1999 by Fundación Telefónica, it was created with the mission of supporting creative endeavors in this singular field by rewarding the pioneering efforts of artists. At a time when the concept of life finds itself once again in uncharted territory, a wide range of artistic initiatives attempt to illustrate and explore this phenomenon, examining its impact on our collective consciousness and how it affects the cultural, technological and social mindset. Over the past decade, VIDA has welcomed a variety of interdisciplinary projects that respond to this situation and brought them together in a single forum. Using formal strategies that push the boundaries between existing practices, these projects offer new perspectives that force us to reconsider our pre-existing notions of life and artificial life.

VIDA 15.0 supports excellence in artistic research into artificial life. Projects that win a VIDA Award must be capable of expressing the complex organization of life systems and the hybrid nature of life. The VIDA jury will evaluate artistic projects that meet these criteria and, more importantly, will select those projects that challenge our current understanding and definition of life.

As in previous years, contestants are invited to submit proposals in one (or both) of two categories:

CATEGORY “FINALISED PROJECTS”
In this category, Vida 15.0 rewards artistic artificial life projects developed after the year 2011.

A total of 42,500 euros will be divided among the three winning projects chosen by the jury:
First Prize: 18,000 euros;
Second Prize: 14,000 euros;
Third Prize: 8,000 euros.
Seven honorary mentions will also be awarded to projects chosen by the jury from among the finalists.

In addition to the winners of the three main prizes, we will also choose seven participants to receive honorable mentions and compete for the special People’s Choice Award. Of these mentions, only the People’s Choice Award is endowed with a cash prize, the amount of which will be 2,500 euros. The People’s Choice Award will go to the project that receives the most votes from the public in the seven days immediately following the announcement of the official award winners (on October 2013). Votes will be cast electronically on the VIDA website and social networks.

CATEGORY “INCENTIVES FOR PRODUCTION"
In this category, Vida 15.0 helps to finance artistic artificial life projects that have not yet been produced. It is reserved for artists who are citizens or residents of any country in Latin America, Spain or Portugal. This category is also endowed with 40,000 euros to be divided among five selected projects.

VIDA 15.0 launches the Incentives I+D Prize with the aim of encouraging innovation using the latest artificial life technologies. Of the five award-winning projects of the Incentives for Production category one will receive additional support to assist with its technological development. The awarded artist will receive assistance from experts on research, development and innovation of Telefonica team in cutting-edge information technologies. In addition to benefiting from regular advice and contact online, the artist/s will also be invited to spend a maximum of one month in Telefónica’s innovation department in Barcelona (Spain).

Residency For Artists On Hiatus is now accepting applications

matthew evans — Sun, 19 May 2013 23:04:41 -0500

Residency for Artists on Hiatus (RFAOH) is a virtual yet functioning residency available to artists who, for one reason or another, are not currently making or presenting art. The residency will exist in the form of a website, and the participants will be selected based on their proposals of “on-hiatus” activities (or non-activities) through open calls. To be eligible to apply, artists must have previously created an independent body of work and have exhibited in a public context. Selected artists will be represented on the site by a dedicated page on which they may post periodic reports throughout their residency. A modest stipend will be awarded to successful applicants to assist in their on-hiatus endeavours. At the conclusion of their residency, participants are expected to submit a written report along with other relevant documentation on how they benefited from or were otherwise influenced by this opportunity. In its ultimate/ideal incarnation, the residency will be “hosted” by an art institution, who would provide access to the site through their own website, and assist in funding the programme. Residency for Artists on Hiatus plans to publish an annual report as a full-colour catalogue of the participants' on-hiatus activities.

Residency for Artists on Hiatus invites you to:

1. Apply for its inaugural residency period in 2013/2014:
Application deadline is August 15th, 2013

2. Become a host institution for the residency, or support us in various ways
