The Upgrade! w/Michael Mandiberg :: Feb 24 7:30 PM at Eyebeam.
Michael will be speaking about his web and video projects which explore subjectivity, technological mediation, and (public) performance. He will also be previewing a new project made in collaboration with Julia Steinmetz entitled "IN Network." "IN Network" is a cell phone, life art performance, which will launch March 1st. "IN Network" is commissioned by Turbulence.org.
Michael is a new media artist who uses the Internet, video and performance to explore subjectivity, labor, and commerce. He is interested in our everyday experience of the Internet: all of the forms that we thoughlessly engage with in our everyday life as info-consumers. These include the home page, the search engine, the banner advertisement, the do-it-yourself site, and the e-commerce site. He inserts personal information into these depersonalized genres.
His recent projects include the DVD exhibition First Person in collaboration with Carla Herrera-Prats and Anne-Julie Raccoursier, and The Exchange Program, a collaborative performance where four sets of two people switched lives for 11 days. In 2001 he completed a yearlong project, Shop Mandiberg, which was a fully functional e-commerce web site that marketed and sold every one of his personal possessions.

Content Coordinator to help plan new site features: Your responsibilities
will be to help define a rich, intuitive user experience, and produce
deliverables using HTML and CSS. The Consultant is not responsible for
website programming.
Our priorities are ease-of-use, functionality, and the definition of clear,
simple categories for use by producers and consumers of online content. The
ability to create a flashy or embellished interface is not important, though
an eye for a uniform and lively arrangement of site elements is. Candidates
will be consulting on pages used to publish, read, search and syndicate
content to the site. Familiarity with contemporary online community
technologies (del.icio.us, Craigslist, blogs, etc.) is a plus.
This position allows for off-site work, but candidates need to be in
commuting distance of New York for frequent short meetings.

Outfest Platinum Series
Call for Entries
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Date: July 7 - 18, 2005
Deadline: April 1, 2005. No Entry Fee.
Following the critical success of "Sticky Bonds", programmers Kevin McCarty and Jose Munoz follow-up their Outfest Platinum Series debut with "F-". This is an international call for entries from the queer identified individual and/or collaborative.
Queers fail and often fail miserably. If standards are set by a horrific straight culture— a culture that feeds on reproduction and mediocrity how can we help but fail. We invited one and all to submit media that display, perform or just ruminate on queerness and failure, or failures of queerness or queerness as failure. We are interested in failures both large and small, sublime and gory. Think Pee Wee Herman busted at the porn theatre, Liz Taylor’s marriages, Jack Smith stumbling around his loft, Valarie Solanas failing to kill Andy Warhol, all the dicks that failed to get hard in Warhol’s movies, your own worst date, national elections that are won by Jesus Freaks and usher in brain dead tyrants, the joys of bitterness, the drama of failed ambitions, how the great have fallen, all your favorite lost causes, butch girls in awkward dresses, gay bars, being picked last for the kick ball team, your most flawed logics and worst impulses. We
want to be clear: we are looking for spectacular failures and keen reflections on queerness and failures, not BAD
videos.
Please submit work on VHS and DVD. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope for return of entry.

Version 05, international festival in Chicago, seeks proposals
Version>05>Invincible Desire
April 22- May 1
Chicago
Version is an international festival about art, media, technology and politics. Our fourth annual convergence, Version>05>invincible Desire, will examine the activities of local configurations and external networks that use visual art, innovative social practices, artist initiatives, creative uses of new technologies, organizing strategies and public interventions in order to engage in cultural reclamation.
Through a diverse program featuring an experimental art expo, artistic disturbances, networked urban events, screenings, interactive applications, performances, workshops, art rendez-vous, parties, and action, Version>05 will investigate the urgency for interventions in everyday life, the organization of our shared interests, and the distribution of our ideas.
We will convene in Chicago for a ten day open laboratory to explore a diversity of tactics and strategies to activate our communities and amplify our ideas. The city of Chicago will be used as a map to examine microactions. Blueprints will be unveiled to strengthen emerging alliances and counter institutions. Alternative spaces will be open for staging actions. Public spaces and corporate places will be terrains of intervention.
We seek to explore methods to enjoin the public in a dialogue about pressing issues and ideas of our age. We want to share your actions as well as projects and activities that can help us to transform personal and shared environments. It is our hope that the issue will offer ways to engage in meme warfare, practice social engagement and produce instruments of transformation during these dark ages.

Call for Submissions
The Transdisciplinary Journal of Emergence
"The transdisciplinary journal of emergence" is an English-language
on-line journal published semi-annually. We are seeking contributions of
papers/essays as well as visual work (e.g., photography, web art, etc)
for the fourth (Spring 2005) issue, to be sent by March 1st, 2005.
The Theme of the issue is: Cultural Expression and Transmission in
Post-Industrial Societies.
TJE is committed to fostering a critical dialogue across the social
sciences and humanities and welcomes thinkers challenging existing
models of cultural/political/economical production. We are interested in
adventurous takes on popular or classical subjects. We strive to support
a broad range of participants and perspectives. Of specific interest are
perspectives and methodologies that cut across, or overcome altogether,
disciplinary separations within the fields of social sciences and
humanities.
Although TJE is published by a Business School, we do not intend to
assign a particular emphasis to disciplinary (or trans-disciplinary, for
that matter) discussions of management, economics, marketing, finance,
and the like. Indeed, we believe the above-mentioned disciplines have
increasingly progressed over time on a path that is eventually going to
bring them outside the domain of the social sciences. If the social
sciences are to constitute a distinct knowledge endeavor that should not
be, we believe, solely because their object is human beings. Instead,
the reason for the existence of the social sciences as a separate field
of inquiry should be epistemological.
Since the journal explicitly aims to overcome disciplinary separations,
we felt it necessary to abandon the reviewing mechanisms
institutionalized in most academic journals. We do not believe that an
endeavor such as developing a "transdisciplinary journal" is possible
within the context of the power/knowledge structure inherent in the
traditional review process. Hence, papers will not be reviewed with the
explicit purpose of suggesting modifications. Instead, the editor will
assign the submitted papers to two members of the editorial board, and
publish their reactions and observations along with the papers.
Although this particular structure makes the quality of any received
paper difficult to determine, we believe that the very criteria of
"academic quality" should be subject to discussion, rather than taken
for granted or simply inferred from the presence of a structured and
systematic reviewing process. The editorial board is currently involved
in such a debate, which will result in future modifications to this call
for submissions. A similar issue concerns our lack of a clear definition
for the term "emergence", which is, similarly, subject to an ongoing
debate within the editorial board resulting in periodic modifications to
the editorial statement of the Journal.
In this way, we hope to overcome the disciplinary (in a Focauldian
sense) emphasis of the traditional reviewing process as well as of a
crystallized definition of a concept in favor of dialogue and
trans-fertilization.
The deadline for our Spring 2005 issue is March 1st. We are always
accepting submissions and proposals for future issues.
We thank you in advance for your support.
