[Ada_list] Call for Film/Video Submissions- Quick Response Needed

Call for Film/Video Submissions- Quick Response Needed


The Number 8 Collective is currently in residence at Casa Tres Patios arts
project space in Medellin, Colombia. We have been asked to collate a series
of short films/videos around the thematic of water to screen at a film
evening evening at Casa Tres Patios. This is part of a larger project, see
below for a bit more detail. So send us a link so we can preview you work
if you are keen in participating. We need link by Friday 1st June. From
there we will be in contact with Drop Box details.

The Un Litro de Agua project premise is to initiate and support dialogue
between Colombian, New Zealand artists and the wider public through a
series of collaborative arts events.
Through the thematic of water, Un Litro de Agua explores similarities and
differences between cultures with an emphasis on shared aquatic
environments  locally and globally. The reflexive nature of the project
draws together artists with an eclectic range of concepts as diverse in
origin as they are in their rendering.
Un Litro de Agua is a Number 8 Collective project supported by Casa Tres
Patios, Medellín, Colombia.
Cheers Ana Terry & Don Hunter (#8C)

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

What is interesting is that this highly visible display of wealth transfer
(stockmarket reports, or the art work itself) is happening at a
corporate/private level, (increasingly so with the worldwide privatisation
of state assets) yet the fortunes of the public are increasingly dependent
on this very system they are being excluded from.

cheers,
Colin

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

Hi Zita and ADA's.

Some of Lettingspace's series of works might fit your interest - and more
specifically, the project I did with them last year - Market Testament -
which was an installation/intervention that broke into the inner
architecture of a Wellington office block and ran the building's lighting
system via a data feed conversion of the day's stock market activity.

Interestingly to me the work appropriated the building's architecture
without changing its form - from the outside the building might appear to
be untouched, but it was being driven by a unique agency - that of stock
market changes. In the sense of public space - I find it interesting that
the private/public boundary is blurred - this private space broadcasts
publicly by its visibility, but the broadcast itself is hermetically sealed
within the building's insulating glass walls. In a way both
inviting/teasing (the curtains are left undrawn) and yet gated.

Letting Space commissioned an essay by Martin Patrick:

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

There was a project in christchurch c1993, where the city was treated as a
magazine. Different building walls were used as different pages. Imight be
wrong but i think Kate Fielder helped curate it.

Greyworld from London do a lot of interesting work. Some older pieces i
really liked were Sound awards where they asked people to nominate certain
places with interesting recurring sounds to nominate them for a sound
award. they also tuned the rails of a fence to play the girl from epanema
as you ran a stick along it.

not sure if this is the sort of thing that you were after...

[Ada_list] Media art and the city?

Dear ADA

I'm doing some research into, broadly, media art + the city: media artists and projects that engage with public space and / or the fabric of a city,

and I'm hoping to do some crowdsourcing / discussing here : )

Obvously as I'm in Christchurch I'm particularly interested in projects that relate to recovery, remembering, reimagining, and looking to the future, but any suggestions, recommendations, reflections would be most appreciated!

Thanks
Zita

[Ada_list] Revised symposium call and extended deadline

Hi,

We have revised the call for SCANZ 2013: 3rd nature symposium and hui presentations and papers, and therefore extended the deadline for abstracts. Our intention is to meet PBRF standards for research outputs. The hui/symposium would be for next years research outputs. By the same token, both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed strands are available.

Aotearoa New Zealand is in a unique and leading position worldwide due to the length of the discussion with tangata whenua. Former Crown Research Institutes such as NIWA and GNS, and government departments such as DoC have staff whose position entails being active at the boundary of Maori and scientific knowledges. While tangata whenua remain disadvantaged in overall terms, this position of knowledge bases side by side is far from the situation in many countries.

Many of you will have excellent insight into working across cultures and engaging with digital media and the environment. It would be great to see you at SCANZ 2013. Working across cultures is not viewed as only referring to the Maori/European border, multicultural situations are relevant.

Call for abstracts: SCANZ 2013 3rd nature hui and symposium

Feb 1st – 3rd 2013, abstracts due June 15th 2012
Ngamotu New Plymouth, Aotearoa New Zealand

Keynote speakers: Dr Te Huirangi Waikerepuru and artist-scientist Nina Czegledy (Adjunct Associate Professor, Concordia University)

We know we have built a civilisation which is unsustainable. How are we developing today the new culture that will allow us to create a sustainable civilisation? — Roger Malina, Astrophysicist and Editor of Leonardo

Integrating indigenous perspectives with creative, environmental, scientific and academic views on reality is essential to a sustainable future. At the same time, computing and digital media are changing our relationship to culture and the environment.

On the one hand digital technology allows us to analyse and display data in new ways, as when anthropologists use language databases to shed light on the movement of culture.

On the other hand digital technology adds to our senses, and extends them beyond the body to the forests and the land. Scientists (along with artists and others) are transforming Aotearoa New Zealand into an organism, as Maori have always known it to be.

SCANZ 2013: 3rd nature will bring together diverse people to discuss and celebrate how to approach working together across culture, discipline and media. We must work together to resolve the issues emerging at the boundary between fresh knowledge and deep knowledge, beginning with sharing knowledge and projects.

Presentations and projects which highlight cross cultural interchange and/or computing and electronics projects are sought. The ensuing discussion, exhibition documentation and presentations will then be shared in a special edition of Leonardo Electronic Almanac, the online publication of Leonardo – the leading Massachusetts Institute of Technology journal. Abstracts are due June 15th 2012. A robust process will be followed.
