FROM: Arseny Sergeyev DATE: January 24, 2008 SUBJECT: Open call: ILLUMINATORS juried exhibition Public art and design program "Art Koltsovo". Yekaterinburg airport, Russia. Deadline – March 11, 2008 Exhibition opening – April 11, 2008 www.artpolitika.ru/ill_en - about project www.artpolitika.ru/ill_entry_en - entry form download Yekaterinburg "Koltsovo" airport announces the beginning of the international exhibition project "ILLUMINATORS" which will be shown in April – June 2008 in the open spaces of the International terminal of the airport. The works for the exhibitions will be selected on a competitive basis by an international award panel. The organizers invite the artists to submit digital prints and digital video in the form of «tondo» to the competition. The exhibition "ILLUMINATORS" opens the "Art-Koltsovo" program. The exhibition The exhibition will show modern versions of «tondo» – the form of pictures with ancient traditions. We accept electronic files of works which can be reproduced by the organizers like as digital prints, light boxes, video objects/installations and video projections,. The organizers are going to challenge the interior environment of the international terminal of "Koltsovo" airport. Visually the exposition will be represented by numerous round spots of lights "floating/hovering" free in the airport cubage. Participants Any artists working in the field of new media are invited. Works of art Digital graphics, digital photos, digital animation, video objects, video installation, single-channel video. Concept In Russian an "illuminator" (port hole, bull’s eye) is a round window onboard a ship, airplane, space station. The concept of the project is based on the round shape of the exhibited works of art. This formal principle is closely connected with on the one hand the image of aircrafts and air travels (till recently planes have had round bull’s eyes); on the other hand it plastically continues and supports the idea of the round plafonds in the foyer of the terminal where the exposition will be installed. Here the formal aspects of concept close down the meaning of the word ILLUMINATORS in the majority of European languages, where the Latin word means a lighting unit, a source of light, a screen, somebody or something shedding light, lighting and also an artist illustrating/decorating manuscripts. That’s why ILLUMINATORS are not only works of art but also those creating them - artists. A round is the most harmonious shape, a fundamental archetypical sign offering a vast variety of associations. One of its most obvious meanings is the world. In this case ILLUMINATOR is an artist’s worldview projection or worldview magnifying glass or "window" into artist’s world. The exposition of "ILLUMINATORS" exhibition visually and conceptually coincide with the name of the airport "Koltsovo" ("koltso" is Russian for a "ring"; ring - round). The exhibition will be opened on the eve of the Day of Cosmonautics. Russian cosmonautics started in "Koltsovo" as the first jet engines were tested here. The project is aimed to create a positive, emotionally rich environment in the waiting rooms of the international terminal. Besides the exhibition provides the passengers and guests of the airport with the recent achievements of international contemporary art. "Art Koltsovo" program "Art-Koltsovo" is the first strategic long-term program in Russian air industry aimed at introduction of works of art and designs inside the international "Koltsovo" airport and in its adjacent territory. The organizers of the program International "Koltsovo" airport (Yekaterinburg, Russia) www.koltsovo.ru International "Koltsovo" airport is one of the leading airports in Russia. It cooperates with 65 Russian and foreign air companies which directly link Yekaterinburg with many cities of Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Having implemented a large-scale reconstruction with the help of its strategic investor Group of companies "RENOVA", "Koltsovo" will be able to become highly competitive with metropolitan airports and will become an ultimately convenient hub for the main air passenger flow and freight traffic in the country.

The first pdf is out, Pink, which is the line I live on. I've been investigating the intersections of people, commodities, and space. I like to think of this project as finding invisible graffiti. I think of David Bunn's work with the Los Angeles Public Library card catalog, finding poetry in occurences of words that have found themselves next to each other with an informational, public, mechanized purpose. My books may also be read socio-politically, as each page is the length between each stop of an L line.

Derived from Kurosawa's film version of Macbeth, Spider Web Castle, 'Moving Forest' renders the film's final sequences (12 minutes in length) into a 12-hour 'sonica' of grand scale. 'Moving Forest' reinvents a modern edition of a Castle Central (here: the House of World Cultures) and a city in revolt. Inside the castle, the downfall of the assumed power; outside in the city, the mobilised urbanites march with generated sounds of insurgence towards the imaginary Centre. 'Moving Forest' collaborates with sound artists to compose acts and scores, at the same time, drafts a PD (pure data) conspiracy scheme, performing live with citywide performance transmitted by wifi. [AKA the castle] is a temporal performance troop bringing together visual artists, writers, soundists, silk threaders, codedecoders, macromikro, boombox mass, mobile agents, wifi fielders and urbanites to realize the 12 hour Moving Forest. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 5. FROM: Eduardo Navas DATE: January 28, 2008 SUBJECT: Gallery at Calit2 Opens 2008 Season with Super-sized Version of Iconic Atari Joystick "An 8-bit Moment in Gameplay: [giantJoystick]" Exhibit open February 4 to March 17, 2008 Reception February 14, 6 - 8 PM Gallery at Calit2 Atkinson Hall University of California, San Diego Imagine a joystick that is bigger than most basketball players… and requires at least two people to operate it. That's the challenging, quirky and ultimately fun concept behind "An 8-bit Moment in Gameplay: [giantJoystick]", an art-meets-technology exhibition opening February 4 in the Gallery at Calit2, a small space with big ambitions. Located on the first floor of Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus, the space is part of the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). The gallery will have its formal opening in the spring, but [giantJoystick] will be open to the public every weekday from 11am to 5pm through March 17 (with a reception planned for February 14 from 6-8pm). An interactive artwork and play sculpture, [giantJoystick] is a working, large-scale game interface designed for collaborative play, by artist and media theorist Mary Flanagan. Video games have been around for over forty years, and have redefined our reality with classics such as “Pac-Man”, “Asteroids”, “Centipede” and “Missile Command”. Video game consoles, which offered low-resolution graphics known as 8-bit, were introduced in the 1970s. But it wasn't until the early 1980s that they became wildly popular, moving video games from the arcade into the home with the Atari 2600 game console. That console featured a distinctive joystick, and Flanagan takes visitors back to the seminal period by turning the Atari joystick into a super-sized work of art that she considers a form of social sculpture. Flanagan investigates everyday technologies through critical writing, artwork, and activist design projects. “Mary Flanagan makes art and popular culture become one, following in the tradition of pop art,” said Ricardo Dominguez, a visual arts professor and member of the Gallery at Calit2 programming committee. “She also explores the aesthetics of gameplay, which today has extended beyond video games to influence media and culture at large.” The artist’s work has been exhibited internationally at museums, festivals and galleries, including the Whitney Museum of American Art. “The exaggerated scale of [giantJoystick]’s installation emphasizes the physicality (and absurdity) of interfaces in their relationship to the human body and human interaction,” said Christiane Paul, adjunct curator of new media arts at the Whitney Museum . “Rather than treating the joystick as mere access point to the ‘other’ of the virtual world on a screen, the project highlights the joystick’s role in and connection to the physical world and the social nature of play.” Mary Flanagan’s work has also been exhibited at the Guggenheim, SIGGRAPH, The Banff Centre, Central Fine Arts Gallery NY, Artists Space NY, the University of Arizona, University of Colorado-Boulder, as well as institutions in Brazil, France, UK, Canada, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Australia. Flanagan’s projects have been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Pacific Cultural Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Flanagan holds MFA and MA degrees from the University of Iowa , a BA in Film from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee , and a Ph.D. in Computational Media focusing on activist game design from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design , UK . She teaches in the Integrated Media Arts MFA program in the Department of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College , NYC. Her research group and laboratory in New York is called TiltFactor, a lab focused on the design of activist and socially-conscious software. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tiltfactor.org">http://www.tiltfactor.org</a>. The Gallery at Calit2 reflects the nexus of innovation implicit in Calit2's vision, and aims to advance our understanding and appreciation of the dynamic interplay among art, science and technology. The space is located off the main lobby of Atkinson Hall on the Engineering Courtyard of the UC San Diego campus (9500 Gilman Drive , La Jolla , CA 92093 ). Calit2 recently appointed Eduardo Navas as Gallery Coordinator; he can be reached at [email protected]. Calit2 is a partnership between UC San Diego and UC Irvine, and houses over 1,000 researchers organized around more than 50 projects on the future of telecommunications and information technology and how these technologies will transform a range of applications important to the economy and citizens' quality of life. The institute has integrated new media arts into its cross-disciplinary agenda.

FROM: James DATE: January 29, 2008 SUBJECT: Streaming Museum Streaming Museum, real-time exhibitions in cyberspace and public space on seven continents, launches on January 29, 2008. The project, initiated by Nina Colosi, will present an ongoing program of multi-media exhibitions in collaboration with international curators and cultural institutions. Streaming Museum is conceived as a source of free cultural content and public service messaging on the environment, education and health, accessed via Internet and in high visibility public locations. The opening exhibition, Good Morning Mr. Orwell, by pioneer video artist Nam June Paik, is a transcontinental musical extravaganza that interweaves fine art and pop culture icons. Paik's ideas in the 1970s about the "information superhighway" and global connectivity forecast the Internet. See www.StreamingMuseum.org for information and location schedules for exhibitions of Good Morning Mr. Orwell and work by other contemporary visual, performing, fashion and theater artists, January 29 through April 24. Visitors at each venue are invited to upload pictures via cell phone or email to the Streaming Museum website. Good Morning Mr. Orwell is presented courtesy of Electronic Arts Intermix, New York, and Paik Studios, New York. Streaming Museum is a member of International Urban Screens Association. — The program in Ars Virtua runs about 48 minutes and is really an amazing venture into video art as inspired by Nam June Paik. If you cannot make it to one of the physical spaces to see it, please consider visiting Ars Virtua. We will be planning an official reception sometime during the run (TBA).

This year, Rhizome has expanded our scope, formerly focused strictly on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art. This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies to works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices. This year, all applicants will be reviewed by a selected jury and several awards will be granted through Rhizome's membership in an open, community vote. Proposal submission takes place online. The deadline is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008.

Kildall restages then remediates iconic performance artworks in Second Life, and Stern straps on a scanner appendage and battery pack, and performs images into existence; both processes produce art objects in the real world. For Crossing the Void II at Ten Cubed Gallery - Haydn Shaughnessy’s new virtual space designed by New York architect Benn Dunkley - they were asked to produce unique virtual art works for sale in Second Life, which mirror their real life prints. In response, they created a series of “Simulate Editions”, where every ‘print’ is individually signed and numbered by hand, making each work ‘technically unique.’ The works are copy and modification protected, but also come with a resize script, so that the new collector/owner - and only them - can grow or shrink their purchase so as to fit into their SL space. In addition to Kildall and Stern, also on the exhibition are Chris Ashley, Jon Coffelt and Claire Keating. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 9.
