CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: OUTSIDE IN
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
*outside in
*emerging expressions, interventions and participation in public space
*june 14th-15th @ röda sten, göteborg, sweden
In recent years, emerging technologies and policies have transformed notions of public space. Mobile phones, surveillance systems and electronic barriers affect how we spend our time, where we go and how we express ourselves. What are the new perceptions of our cities and public spaces? What are aesthetic,
cultural and social implications? What is the impact on creative practices, technology development and civic stakeholders? What are the emerging tactics and processes for public engagement? What are the opportunities for expression, intervention and participation? ‘outside in’ is a forum for involving new voices, media and practices in a discourse about the use of public space.
Over 2 days, ‘outside in’ will promote reflection, participation and action in public space. Featured will be major international voices in public art and graffiti, design and architecture, activism and urban planning,
social sciences and politics. Combining presentations, panel discussions, and participatory workshops, symposium activities are intended to engage people from a wide variety of disciplines in sharing and creating together. Accepted submissions will be published in symposium proceedings and all attendees will contribute to a public exhibition during the symposium. We invite participation from designers, artists, musicians, sociologists, activists, theoreticians, policy-makers, community workers, educators … and
everyone concerned with access, design, and use of public space today!
+++++++++++++
themes:
Public Access
- new medias and technologies for public use
- public forums or access in virtual or digital realms
- public presence or participation through new medias
- local/global, public/private concerns
- technology impacting public spaces and communities
- re-invention of geography, architecture & public space with new media
Beyond Utility
- design beyond efficiency
- designing for new genres and modalities
- open systems and adaptable products
- designing for appropriation & sustainability
- experimental design methods and processes
Civic (mis)behaviors
- new roles and voices in the public sphere
- expression, community, and collectivism
- emerging tactics, strategies & forms of authorship
- stakeholders and coalitions in public projects
- the front line between freedom and protection
+++++++++++++
WORKSHOP DETAILS:
We now invite submissions for Outside In workshops!
The symposium format is a unique blend of presentation and participation styles in order to involve a wide spectrum of voices and expertise in creative exchange - in the morning of each day will be prominent
invited speakers with keynote presentations and open panel discussions. In the afternoons, presenters and participants alike will join in workshop formats, which combine less formal presentations with hands-on activity to engage and involve a wide spectrum of disciplines, creative voices, and practitioners in discussing and creating together. Each workshop will be guided by 2-3 people and will be 4-6 hours long, spread over both afternoons of the two-day symposium.
Please note that the only category for submission to Outside In is in the workshops! A printed publication from the symposium will feature outstanding workshop submissions and all workshop outcomes. In addition, all workshop outcomes will be exhibited at Valand, the Fine Arts Academy in Göteborg, and in other selected galleries and outdoor venues around the city. Registration for morning presentations and afternoon workshops will be separate (admission to workshops will only be for accepted submissions).

ACM Multimedia 2004 Interactive Art Program
ACM Multimedia 2004 Interactive Art Program
Columbia University, New York City† October 10 - 15, 2004
http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm
ACM Multimedia 2004 is the premier annual multimedia conference, covering all aspects of multimedia computing, from underlying technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to networks to devices. We especially encourage introduction of novel media such as haptic, smell, sensors, animation, etc.. With this year'snew ACM MM Interactive Art Programwe wish to bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology.
The Interactive Art Program will consist of two technical paper tracks and an exhibition. We invite researchers in technical areas and artists working with digital media to submit their original contributions to the following tracks:
1.† Technical Papers Tracks:Submission Deadline April 5, 2004
Tools for creating multimedia art:performance, immersive, narrative, multi-modal, networked art, etc. The emphasis is on novel technical tools developed specifically for the creation of multimedia art in any form. We particularly encourage submission of tools in new and emerging areas.
Tools developed by artists in the creation of multimedia art works:† will describe the process and technical details of the creation of artistic works that have required either the development of new multimedia tools, or novel uses of currently available multimedia tools. Artists that develop their own tools are strongly encouraged to submit their work to this track.
2.† Multimedia Art Exhibition:Submission Deadline May 3, 2004
DIGITAL BOUNDARIES: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness
Curatorial Committee
Mark Tribe, Director of Art & Technology, Columbia University School of the Arts
Christina Yang, Curator of Visual Art and New Media, The Kitchen
Pamela Jennings, Alejandro Jaimes
"Digital Boundaries: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness". We seek art works that, using multimedia, explore issues of cultural identity, cultural awareness, and the boundaries created or enforced through the use of multimedia technology. The emphasis for the exhibition is on interactive art works that realize powerful artistic concepts using multimedia content and technologies.
At no time in history has technology had the prospect of making a stronger cross-border impact on culture. Technology can be used to create or reinforce boundaries (being fingerprinted and photographed at an airport-- a multimedia experience), as well as to dissolve them (we are bombarded by images and sounds from all over the world). Many of us are being empowered with the ability to easily create digital content, document and share our own experiences and those of others, challenging the roles of art (passive vs. interactive) and revolutionizing the way we see and hear the world. At the same time, only a small percentage of people have access to technology (boundaries of the haves and the have-nots). Multimedia content and technology are of special consideration because they appeal directly to our senses, elevating the age-old dilemma of the distinction between reality and representations of reality. Does this new proliferation and imbalance of multimedia technology help reinforce boundaries and cultural differences? Does it contribute to define cultural identity in a new age in which everyone talks about multiculturalism? Does it raise cultural awareness or simply numb our senses making us take deep cultural differences for granted because what we "see" or "hear" is commonplace in this "new" multicultural world? Does it create new boundaries in art or help unify multiple art forms? How can art, in its many roles, make use of the same technology that raises these issues to address them?
For this exhibition, we seek multimedia artworks that challenge the participants to consider these questions through the innovative use of new multimedia technologies and the combination of multiple media(photography, video, sound, etc.). All formats are welcome (narrative, performance, interaction, immersion, etc.).

Rhizome Net Art Commissions-CALL FOR PROPOSALS
+Deadline for proposals: February 15, 2004+
Rhizome.org is pleased to announce that with support from The Jerome Foundation and the Greenwall Foundation, five new net art projects (works of art that are made to be experienced online) will be
commissioned in 2004.
The fee for each commission will range from $1,500 - $3,500.
Rhizome.org is an online platform for the global new media art community. We are committed to supporting the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of art that engages new technologies in
significant ways. We emphasize innovation and inclusiveness in all of our programs and activities.
Artists are invited to submit proposals for works of art that focus on the theme of games.
+Games+
For the last several decades, computer-based games, through their ubiquity, economic influence, and innovative use of new technologies, have become a significant cultural force, surpassing Hollywood films in
total revenues.
For a number of years, new media artists have been exploring the possibilities of gaming platforms and creating art games that mix the best qualities of commercial games - accessibility, interactivity,
user-engagement - with critical and progressive approaches to narrative and aesthetics.
Artists seeking a Rhizome.org 2004 commission should propose projects that will contribute to the art game genre, or reflect in some way on the following broad interpretations of "game" found at Dictionary.com,
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=game.
Viewers/players should be able to access the projects online, whether by playing them through a web browser, downloading software, or some other use of internet technologies.
When evaluating proposals, the jury will consider artistic merit, technical feasibility, and technical accessibility. Although we will provide some technical assistance with final integration into the Rhizome.org web site, artists are expected to develop game-related projects independently and without significant
technical assistance from Rhizome.org. Commissioned projects will be listed on the main Rhizome Commission page and included in the Rhizome ArtBase.
+ How to Submit a Proposal +
The jury will only consider proposals from members of Rhizome.org. To sign up for Rhizome membership, please visit: http://www.rhizome.org/preferences/user.rhiz?action=1&new=user
There are two parts to proposal submission:
1. You must create a proposal in the form of a web site that includes
the following key elements:
+ Project description (500 words maximum) that discusses your project's core concept, how you will realize your project and your project's feasibility. If you plan to work with assistants, consultants or
collaborators, their roles and (if possible) names should be included.
+ You are encouraged, but not required, to include a production
timeline and a project budget, which should include your own fee. If you have
other funding sources for your project, please indicate this in your budget.
+ Your resume or Curriculum Vitae. For collaborative groups, provide either a collective CV or the CVÇs of all participants.
+ Up to 10 work samples. Note: More is not necessarily better. You should include only work samples that are relevant to your proposal. If your proposal has nothing to do with photography, donÇt include images
from your photography portfolio. Please provide contextualizing information (title, date, medium, perhaps a brief description) to help the jury understand what they are looking at. The work sample can take
any form, as long as it is accessible via the web.
When designing your web-based proposal, please note that the jury will have limited time for evaluations, so try to make your site clear and concise.
When your web-based proposal is complete, you are ready for Part Two of
the proposal process:
2. Submit your proposal for a Rhizome.org Net Art Commission via an
online form at http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit_2004.rhiz. We do
not accept proposals via email, snail mail or other means. Proposals
will be accepted until 5:00pm EST (thatÇs New York time) on Friday,
February 15, 2004. The form at
http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit_2004.rhiz requires the following
information:
+ Name of artist or collaborative group + Email address + Place of
residence (city, state/province, country) + Title of the project (this
can be tentative) + Brief description of project (50 words maximum) +
URL of web-based proposal
+ Jury +
Proposals will be reviewed by a jury consisting of German critic Tilman
Baumgartel, artist Natalie Bookchin of CalArts, Rachel Greene of
Rhizome.org, Francis Hwang of Rhizome.org, and Japanese curator Yukiko
Shikata. Rhizome.org members will also participate in the evaluation
and awarding process through secure web-based forms.
Winners will be contacted on or after March 15, 2004. Each winner will
be asked to sign an agreement with Rhizome.org governing the terms of
the commission.
+ Winners +
Winners will be announced on March 29, 2004. Commissioned projects must
be completed by October 1, 2004.
+ Questions +
If you have any questions about the Rhizome.org Net Art Commissions,
please contact Feisal Ahmad at feisal@rhizome.org or 212.219.1288.

is premiered in the Harvestworks’ 5.1 Presentation Lab. Residents are
also included in Creative Contact, an Internet compilation of digital
artwork on the Harvestworks website.
New works may include the creation of a new video work with a surround
sound audio mix, audio recording and mastering of a surround sound

interactive music/video/installation system using Max/MSP/Jitter. Up to 12
residencies will be selected (depending on project size and funding)
along with two alternates in the event any resident artist cannot
participate. Priority will be given to the creative use of the Harvestworks'
