Dec. 12 EUROPEAN MEDIA ART FESTIVAL

April 25–29 2007 Exhibition April 25 - May 20 2007

// CALL FOR ENTRIES

The European Media Art Festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2007!

Ever since its establish- ment, the EMAF has been one of the most influ- ential Media Art forums. As an international meeting point for artists, curators, gallery owners and an audience of specialists, the festival has had a great impact on topics and aesthetics of Media Art. Every year the festival offers a current overview of experimental films, in- stallations, performances, digital formats and hybrid forms, ranging from popular subjects and formal experiments to provocative statements.

// WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR FESTIVAL ENTRIES FOR PARTICIPATION BY DECEMBER 12 2006 At the festival an international jury will present the ›EMAF Award‹ for a trend-setting work in Media Art and the ›Dialogpreis‹ of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the promotion of intercultural exchanges. Also the jury of the German Federal Association of Film Journalists will be awarding the prize for the best German experimental film. Not only the latest productions will be presented – inventories and perspectives will also be a focal point of the anniversary in 2007. How has digi- talisation changed artistic production? What effects does this have on distribution and market- ing – and also on reception? What are the inter- dependencies between artistic and commercial media production? Have these processes affected aesthetics and contents? We warmly invite you to discuss these and other questions at the festival, to celebrate our anni- versary with us in April 2007 and to discover the fascination of the experimental with us.

// INFORMATION AND APPLICATION FOR YOUR PROJECT UNDER

November 30. NANOART 2006 Competition

Open to All Artists – Original Electron Microscope Working Image is provided

This is the first ever on-line NanoArt worldwide competition open to all artist 18 years and older. The purpose of this competition is to promote NanoArt as one of the new art disciplines of the 21st Century. NanoArt is a new art form where micro/nanosculptures created by artists/scientists through chemical/physical processes and/or natural micro/nanostructures are visualized with powerful research tools like Scanning Electron Microscopes. The monochromatic electron microscope images are processed further to create a piece of art that can be showcased for a large audience to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable. To read more about NanoArt and Nanotechnology please visit www.nanoart21.org.

In these days, anyone could have access to these advanced tools at universities or independent labs for an hourly rate. For this competition, the sponsor, nanoart21.org founded by artist/scientist Cris Orfescu (www.absolutearts.com/nanoart), will provide a high resolution monochromatic electron scan. The participating artists will have to alter this image in any artistic way to finish the artistic process and create a NanoArt work.

Submission deadline is November 30, 2006.

The artworks entered this competition will be displayed on-line for voting starting December 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007. Judging is via the Internet and decided by our site visitors. The sponsor reserves the final decision. Winners will be notified and published on-line on February 15, 2007.

One entry is allowed per artist. The Entry Form and the image file for web presentation should be sent by email to nanoart2006@nanoart21.org. The web image file must be .jpg or .gif with the longer dimension of maximum 600 pixels at a resolution of 72 dpi. A Working Image of approximate 3000 x 2300 pixels at a resolution of 72 dpi will be provided by sponsor. This will be the original image (the scanning electron microscope image above) that should be converted by artist in a piece of art. This image will be used by artists for this competition only and is a working vehicle for the artists to exercise their talent and creativity. Copyright for this image remains with the nanoart21.org. Copyright of entered artworks remains with the artist who agrees to grant permission to nanoart21.org to use the submitted material in exhibits on the nanoart21.org web site and other media for marketing and printing.

October 15 call for submissions net_sight 2006

http://mur.at/verein/net_sight

Idea

Since 1998 mur.at has been working on a virtual NetSculpture which is constantly growing and branching out. This widely ramified Net – the leased line net – offers a democratic and unbureaucratic access to new communication and information technologies to people engaged in the artistic and cultural sector in the area of Graz apart from e-business and e-commerce. The NetNodeSculpture includes an infrastructure which allows continuous work of art organisations and people engaged in the cultural sector.

In order to be able to experience the virtual space in real public space, mur.at initiates a contest for making this virtual sculpture - which is spread over Graz like a network - visible for all.

Target of the contest

For the promotion of NetArt and NetCulture mur.at offers the possibility to deal with the community in an artistic way and to implement the winning project. The virtual sculpture will be transferred to a tangible space in order to be visible also as real locality. Therewith the virtual sculpture becomes a sculpture that can be conceived with all senses in the public space of Graz. The sculpture shall be developed and implemented in various media.

Desired form of submitted projects

desired are...

..artistic projects, which refer and use the contents and infrastructure of mur.at, the nodes and/or the mur.at-community.

..artistic projects which excel at using unconventional ideas of „Visualization“.

..unrealised projects from the various areas of art; projects which deal with the subject of a NetSculpture. This can be projected in form of media- and space- installations, sound projects, memorial tablets, photo or video projects, as long as it appears meaningful with regard to the subject. The expression „Visualization“ shall be considered a metaphor and the type of realisation shall not be limited to a specific medium.

Prize money / Implementation

First prize The project which is ranked first by the jury will be implemented from December 2006 to end of May 2007. The budget for the implementation (incl. remuneration) is € 10.000,-. The project will be showcased during a ceremony.

Appreciation prize The most innovative, but not realizable project will be awarded with an appreciation prize amounting to € 300,-.

Exposition During an exposition opening on December 1, 2006, the 10 best projects will be presented to the public. The budget for the presentation of the concepts is € 200,- each, whereas the form of presentation (choice of media, etc.) is up to the presenters.

There is no splitting of the prizes.

Oct. 16. VIDA 9.0

http://www.telefonica.es/vida

VIDA 9.0 is the eighth edition of an international competition created to reward excellence in artistic creativity in the fields of Artificial Life and related disciplines.

In previous years prizes have been awarded to projects that included autonomous robots, avatars, recursive chaotic algorithms, knowbots, cellular automata, computer viruses, virtual ecologies that evolve with user participation, and works that highlight the social side of Artificial Life. Applicants should refer to awards previously granted at VIDA’s web page (http://www.telefonica.es/vida) to determine suitability of their project.

Some of the issues explored may include, but are not limited to:

- How autonomous agents shape and interpret our data-saturated environment. - How artifacts (robotics, artifitial intelligence, wetware, etc) challenge pre- - How empathy is created between artificial entities and ourselves. - The anthropomorphization of the datasphere and its inhabitants. - How interactive systems may be designed to spark interest in emerging phenomena involving Artificial Life.

Oct. 20 Japan Media Arts Festival

Japan Media Arts Festival is a festival of media arts where works of media arts created using new ways of presentation and distinguished artistic expressions are recognized and creative activities of leading-edge media arts are introduced to a wide audience. Now that a lot of international attention is given to Japanese media art works such as arts, mangas, animations and games, Japan Media Arts Festival, which attempts to establish a new axis of recognition without being constricted by a conventional framework, has received increased attention not only from Japan but also from overseas. The Festival will accept applications from every sphere and will not make distinctions between professional, amateur, independent productions, commercial productions, etc. Beyond the established conventional framework, how far can the potentialities of media arts expand? The Festival requires new creativeness and representational power.

Oct. 20 Call for Projects : STRP - Eindhoven, Netherlands

After a successful first edition, the STRP festival, which took place in Eindhoven, Netherlands at the end of March 2006, is launching a call for projects for its next edition, which will be taking in late April of 2007.

The focus of the festival is the common ground created at the intersection between art, popular culture and technology. The first edition which welcomed over 10 000 visitors, and received very positive attention from the press, made use of performances, installations, lectures, films, etcetera in order to convey this crossroads.

STRP takes place on Strijp-S, the 'holy' ground of the forbidden city of Philips, where in the 20th century numerous technological innovations were made which changed the world. A place where Einstein once worked, the first complete electronic music album was created and the collaboration between le Courboisier and Varese resulted in one of the most interesting amalgamations between art and technology, Le Poeme Electronique for the World Expo in Brussels (1958).

FOR THE 2007 EDITION

STRP is looking for projects, installations, or proposals that concern themselves with interactive art, robotics and/or Live Cinema (in the live cinema category we are looking for projects that rely on both performance and technology in order to become an audio-visual whole). All of the above in a context in which the artistic side is furthered by technology. This year we will also be paying special attention to projects, which involve light in their concept, composition, and/or execution.

The application forms are available in PDF format - http://downloads.strp.nl/strp-call06.pdf RTF format ? http://downloads.strp.nl/strp-call06.rtf
