This category is open to works and projects that are characterised by processes and live elements.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Desiring Dissent: Bodies and/of/in resistance
Deadline: 16 March
Desiring Dissent is a conference organised by the Essex Management
Centre, University of Essex, UK, 5-6 May 2004. Resistances to bodies of
power operate in specific socio-historical situations. That is, what is
crucial is the concrete analysis of the specificities of power relations
and the possibilities of resistance that can be deployed against them.
What thus becomes significant are questions of strategy and tactics:
resistance is not simply something that is everywhere but something that
can be strategically organised and tactically deployed for specific
political ends and purposes. This is of particular concern for
large-scale protest movements, whose effectiveness is often a question
of how masses of bodies are organised and institutionalised into a mass
body across boundaries of space and time. The anti-globalization/
anti-capitalist movement/s provide a particularly apposite example of
this set of issues, given that the participants represent a disparate
collection of political ideologies and are spread across the world.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Solutions for Modern Living
Deadline, 2 April
Solutions for Modern Living is an open source art show screening in
downtown Ithaca, NY on May 14, 2004. Open call for submissions to a
one-night multi-artist exhibition centered around themes of consumerism,
surveillance and the New American Empire. (Interpret those watchwords as
loosely as you see fit.) Bringing together diverse works of art in
multiple media that create a dialogue between pieces, artists and
audience (and blur those lines) is ultimately the goal. We are looking
for film/video installations, computer art, live performance,
photography, sculpted works, etc. Any medium is acceptable with
emphasis given to those incorporating interactivity and DIY production.
Old and new work accepted as well as works in progress.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Vectors: Journal of Culture and Technology in a
Dynamic Vernacular
Deadline: March 12, 2004
Vectors is a new, international electronic journal dedicated to
expanding the potentials of academic publication via emergent and
transitional media. Vectors brings together visionary scholars with
cutting-edge designers and technologists to propose a thorough
rethinking of the dynamic relationship of form to content in academic
research, focusing on the ways technology shapes, transforms and
reconfigures social and cultural relations. We are seeking project
proposals that creatively address issues related to the first two themes
of Evidence and Mobility. While the format of the journal is meant to
explore innovative forms of multimedia scholarship, we are not
necessarily looking for projects that are about new media. Rather, we
are interested in the various ways that new media suggest a
transformation of scholarship, art and communication practices and their
relevance to everyday life in an unevenly mediated world.

> "The Word---Voice, Language and Technology"
>
> In the beginning of music there very likely was the Word---whether
> "hush"
> (little baby) or "hosanna"---but from the knife that kept the great
> castrato Farinelli forever boyish to the harmonizer that made Laurie
> Anderson temporarily mannish, technology has been used to tweak the

> voice and to color the stories it tells. With the advent of electronic
> amplification, radio and recording, a single microphone could convey
> the
> lip-brushing intimacy of the whisper and croon well beyond the first
> row of
> the concert hall. The evolution of pop vocal styles from the 1950s
> onward
> cannot be separated from innovations in recording technology such as
> tape
> echo, double tracking, electronic reverberation and, most recently, an
> ever-expanding palette of digital effects. Vocal cut-ups and processing
> have been essential tools of the avant-garde from Walter Ruttman's film
> soundtrack experiments in the 1930s, through Cage and Reich, to Ashley
> and
> Sonami, while artists from Kurt Schwitters to Jaap Blonk have created
> purely acoustic vocal works that mimic the aural artifacts of
> technology.
>
> The interplay of the semantic content of a text and the melodic
> possibilities of the voice have made "song" the world's most common
> musical
> form, and technology-driven vocal innovations have often triggered the
> emergence of new musical genres (rap being the most conspicuous
> example).
> Between the much touted "abstractness" and "universality" of music and
> the
> seductive specificity of words there exists a poignant and powerful
> lacuna.
> The voice may be our first and most "natural" instrument of art, but
> art is
> artificial, and the link between technique and technology is more than
> a
> pun. As Voltaire said, "If it's too silly to be said, it can always be
> sung."
>
> For the next issue of LMJ we invite contributions that address the
> interplay of the voice, words and technology in any style of music.
