Hi,
We are pleased to announce the following successful applicants from the
first round of calls for hui-symposium abstracts. The second call is due
on September 7th, so consider getting something in. The abstracts below
are grouped, but these will likely change. It is also not clear yet
whether we will group topics, or have interdisciplinary sessions. Here
is the symposium call page which has details on how to lodge abstracts:
http://wp.me/p2lf7s-at
We are aiming for non-hierarchical sessions, with seating in circles and
panellists among the audience for example. This was tried at ISEA in
Istanbul last year, initiated by Nina Czegledy and followed in the Eco
Sapiens Round Table where Te Huirangi Waikerepuru spoke. We also intend
a more relaxed, open discussion type atmosphere for suitable
presentations.

[Ada_list] August 11 & 13: S/Zports: A Training for the Possible Wor(l)ds
/Two performances this week - join us online!/
One of the performances from 101010, S/Zports: A Training for the
Possible Wor(l)ds
<http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=1043#s/zports> will be restaged
this week as part of an exhibition of extended media, "Zagrebi Dublje
(Scratch Deeper)" at the ULUS Gallery in Belgrade. Four of the original
artists - Miljana Peric, Julijana Protic, Suzon Fuks and Jelena Rubil –
will be joined by Vicki Smith, Valentina Tibaldi and Helen Varley Jamieson.
The online audience and those in the gallery will participate in a
series of training acts for passing through the contexts of Seeing vs.
Zapping of meaning – a process of decomposing the problem/notion that
traditional warship's enslaving is re-placed with
sport-industry-caused-spectactors'-passivity. Is it a coincience that
the Olympic Games are taking place simultaneously?
The performances will be at 5am NZ time on Saturday 11 August and on
Monday 13 August - yes, a little bit early for those in Aotearoa, but
Vicki will be getting up even earlier than that to limber up for the
show, so make some coffee and come along to cheer her on! If you're not
in NZ, click here to find your local time <http://tinyurl.com/cbfsc2y>.
There will be a live link here <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=4052> to
the stage about half an hour before each performance – just click on the
link to enter the stage.
The exhibition runs from 9-21 August; more information in Srpski here

[Ada_list] alert: Trolls - a new call for papers from Fibreculture
:::A call for papers for the Fibreculture Journal follows:::
CFP- Special Issue for the Fibreculture Journal: The Politics of Trolling and the Negative Space of the Internet
Edited By Jason Wilson, Christian McCrea and Glen Fuller
A great deal of thinking about the Internet and politics is still structured by a desire for deliberative democracy. From 1993 – when Howard Rheingold enunciated one of the Internet's key founding myths – the virtual community – scholars have sought and found communities characterised by a mutuality of interests, a common purpose, a collaborative striving to renovate the democratic ideal, a tendency towards the "regulative idea" of the ideal speaking position, and an acknowledgement of the obligations of citizenship within the political association. For so long the Internet has continued to function, in Barbrook's formulation, as a "redemptive technology". Social media is just the latest in a long line of technologies which may, on a certain vision, rescue liberal democracy, with its decaying civic life and corrupt media, from itself.
There is, proportionally, too little attention to the everyday conflicts that haunt all such communities. Some conflict is temporary, and can be accounted for in terms of long-standing democratic theory. But some conflict is persistent, intractable. Some of it is gratuitous, and deliberately disruptive. Online, those who bring it about are often subject to normative disapprobation. Sometimes people call them trolls.
"Troll", as a term of moral opprobrium, indicates an online actor who is not interested in deliberation, but in derailing it. Trolling is not apt to be captured by network maps or visualisations of online publics, because these teachniques cannot discern which nodes in a conversational network are created in bad faith, or in a spirit of disruptive play. Trolls are not interested in redeeming democracy through deliberation, and they mock attempts to do so. Trolls respect no procedural rules, though they may be generative of them. Trolls are the constitutive outside of online communities of political discussion, they are the intolerable of the most tolerant communities. Trolls are usually someone else, defined from our own position and interests. When they are not, and we inhabit trolling, we discover that trolling requires know-how, close reading, experience, sometimes sympathy with those we would disrupt.
What are the consequences to seeing trolling and other forms of affective behaviour as the norm, rather than the aberrant? The discourse of digital art has long since told this story, but the intellectual desire for open and constitutive democracy has overridden the 'actually existing democracy' of bullying, trolling, threats, inane memes and low signal-to-noise ratios. What would happen if we started to think of trolling as the central practice in online discourse? What if trolling is the Internet's signature mode of discursive politics? What if we started to think about trolling as a practice which is generative rather than destructive?
This special issue of fibreculture seeks a range of perspectives on trolling, online conflict and incivility. Twenty years on, it looks to interrogate the founding myth of virtual community with accounts of generative conflict, strategic incivility, and productive trolling.
We seek papers on a range of topics not limited to:
Trolling, activism and politics
The persistence and ubiquity of online conflict
Trolling as a business model: the mainstream media and clickbait
Gendered aspects of trolling and incivility
4chan and trolling; activism and meme factories
Trolling and cyberbullying
Complaints about trolling and the "hatred of democracy" – are complaints about trolling really an attempt to re-gentrify political debate?
Cultures and rituals of trolling – troll culture and the celebration of lulz
Trolling and "cyber-bullying"
The Internet and agonistic politics
Trolling and counterpublics
The grammar of trolling
Trolling as the glitch in social network analysis and "big data"
Popular culture, trolls and the democratization of politics
Tabloid media, professionalization of trolling and the economics of opinion
Trolling as cyber-bullying, internet as masochistic survivalist playground
The pleasures of trolling
Trolling the trolls
The art and 'new aesthetics' of trolling
The gamification of trolling

[Ada_list] Reminder Call for entries: VIDA 14.0 Art and Artificial Life International Awards
VIDA Art and Artificial Life International Awards begun in 1999 by
Fundación Telefónica, was created with the mission of supporting
creative endeavours in this singular field by rewarding the pioneering
efforts of artists. We are now pleased to announce the launch of the
VIDA 14.0, which for the last 14 years have been rewarding artistic
projects developed with technological media that offer innovative
insights into the study of artificial life. 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.
As in previous years, contestants are invited to submit proposals in
one of two categories:
CATEGORY "FINALISED PROJECTS"
In this category, Vida 14.0 rewards artistic artificial life projects
developed after the year 2010. A total of 40,000 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.
CATEGORY "INCENTIVES FOR PRODUCTION"
In this category, Vida 14.0 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 the selected projects.
IMPORTANT DATES
Project submissions must be submitted before midnight (Central
European Time) on 30th July 2012.
JURY
Submitted projects will be reviewed by an international jury
consisting of Mónica Bello (Spain), Jens Hauser (France), Martin
Kaltenbrunner (Austria), Karla Jasso (Mexico), Sally Jane Norman (New
Zealand/France), Nell Tenhaaf (Canada) and Francisco Serrano,
Executive Director of Fundación Telefónica.
INFORMATION AND QUERIES
You can find the competition guidelines and the participation form at
http://www.fundacion.telefonica.com/vida
If you have any questions about the competition, please refer to the
FAQ section. You may also contact us by sending an email to

Call for collaborations in the advanced workshop for project development
/Interactivos?'12 Ljubljana: Obsolete Technologies of the Future/, that
takes place in September 5 - 15, 2012 in Ljubljana (Slovenia).
Collaborators will participate in the production of six prototypes in
the fields of art and technology using existing or outdated technologies
in an entirely unexpected way to encourage novel approaches, promote
sustainability, and explore possibilities in the far future.
The collaborator is basic in the planning and development of the

The collaborator is basic in the planning and development of the
workshops of Medialab-Prado, thus these are conceived as spaces for
collaborative work, knowledge exchange and theoretical and practical
training. It is an environment in which there is a horizontal
relationship among professors, developers and the collaborators.
Workshop advisors: Luka Frelih (director of Ljudmila, artist,
programmer), Ida Hiršenfelder (art critic, art consultant), Chris Sugrue
(artist, programmer) and Yago Torroja (hardware, electronics).

CALL FOR PAPERS and CALL FOR PROJECTS
2nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium
#MINA2012
Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa
23rd -25th November 2012
Massey University, Wellington, NZ
As part of the BLOW Festival 2012, the MINA symposium will take place in the College of Creative Art's magnificent new Te Ara Hihiko building.
MINA [www.mina.pro] is an international network that promotes cultural and research activities to expand the emerging possibilities of mobile media. MINA aims to explore the opportunities for interaction between people, content and the creative industry within the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand and internationally.
The symposium will provide a platform for filmmakers, artists, designers, researchers, 'pro-d-users' and industry professionals to debate the prospect of wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies in art and design environments and the creative industries. MINA invites paper proposals relating (but not limited) to; mobile lens media, iPhoneography, mobile video production, mobile-mentaries (mobile documentaries), mobile network and transmedia, mobile communities, mobile media and social change, mobile visual arts, mobile locative media, citizen journalism, mobile visual literacy, mobile media in education and mobile technologies and civic media.
Mobile phones have evolved rapidly from a communication device to a creative and educational tool. For communities world-wide mobile technologies provide access to a vast amount of new services. Mobile media has also established new forms of connectivity and sociability within contemporary art and design practices. The current mediascape can be described as a dynamic ecosystem that has seen the emergence of new media aesthetics and formats, such as iPhoneography and mobile-mentary (mobile documentary) filmmaking. The participatory turn in media culture (collaboration, co-creation and crowd-sourcing) also creates new opportunities and challenges for visual communication design. (Mobile phone) users (or rather pro-d-users), artists, designers, filmmakers and independent creatives can define new modes of mobile media practices transcending the realm of established disciplines and transform the contemporary mediascape. Innovative business models utilise mobile apps and redefine the distribution of media content. Mobile devices enable us to see the world from new viewpoints and angles. The 2nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium will explore these developments and dynamics in a transdisciplinary context.
Paper proposals should be submitted by the 15th August 2012. MINA also welcomes presentations in a variety of formats including workshops, poster presentations, performances, project showcases and screenings. The international symposium will also provide the opportunity to present papers via live video and live web-broadcasts.
Papers will be published in the Intellect Journal Ubiquity #MINA2012 Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation special edition (http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/weblog/view-Post,id=56679/).
Please send a proposal of approximately 350 words including a title and brief biographical note to max@mina.pro
