urrently accepting submissions for the BENT 2004 Circuit Bending Festival. The festival will take place from April 3-10th at our venue on 42nd street in New York City. It is our hope that the festival will be as diverse in its programming as possible, with performances, installations, lectures, workshops, etc, and that it will represent as accurately as possible the interests and talents of the circuit bending community. This will be a large festival, with people coming from all over to check out the scene. Also a Headlining Performer to be announced shortly. So let us know if you should be on board, and feel free to forward this along.
This call falls into two categories:
Musicians/Performance Artists
Installation Artists
Musicians/Performance Artists:
We are seeking bands, musicians, and performance artists who somehow incorporate the tools, aesthetics, or ideas of circuit bending into their live performance. We are putting together three weekend nights of circuit bent performances and are interested in as diverse an array of performances as possible. Please send a brief description of your live show, and/or any links to mp3s/photos/websites etc. No attachments will be read or considered.
Installation Artists:
The venue for the festival includes a basement gallery space, and as such we are seeking 3-4 artists-in-residence who will each receive 15-20 hours of gallery/studio time and as many tools and resources as we can provide to complete a circuit bent installation during the festival. All studio hours in the gallery will be open to the public, and we are most interested in artists who donít mind chatting about what they are doing and explaining circuit bending to gallery visitors who wander through. Please keep in mind that this is a smallish gallery space and your work and your working attitude will have to co-exist with the other artists and their work. Be excited about interacting!
We will have a wide assortment of standard circuit bending tools/equipment (soldering irons, pots/wires/capacitors/resistors/etc/etc/etc) and as much random materials as we can pull together. The festival is being sponsored, so we will have a small budget for this sort of thing. We will also facilitate a trip to Materials for the Arts to help gather more supplies.
Please submit a written proposal of a circuit bent project that can reasonably be completed in the time allotted with a modest but flexible amount of supplies. See the floorplans of the gallery space at http://www.thetanknyc.com/spaceworks/floorplans.html
Submission Deadline Feb 23.

Summer Fellowship Call for Projects
Vectors: Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular
The Institute for Multimedia Literacy (IML) at the University of Southern
Californiaís Annenberg Center for Communication is pleased to announce a
Fellowship program for summer 2004 to foster innovative research for its
new electronic publishing venture, Vectors: Journal of Culture and
Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular.
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.
Vectors will adhere to the highest standards of quality in a strenuously
reviewed format. The journal is edited by Tara McPherson and Steve
Anderson and guided by the collective knowledge of a prestigious
international board.
About the Fellowships
∑ Vectors Fellowships will be awarded to up to six individuals or teams of
collaborators in the early to mid- stages of development of a scholarly
multimedia project related to the themes of Evidence or Mobility.
Completed projects will be included in the first two issues of the journal
beginning in fall 2004. Vectors will feature next-generation multimedia
work, moving far beyond the ëtext with imageí format of most online
scholarly
publications.
Fall 2004: Evidence
∑ The first issue of the journal will be devoted to a broad
reconsideration of the notion of Evidence and its multiple transformations
in contemporary scholarship and digital culture.
Spring 2004: Mobility
∑ The second issue will be devoted to exploring the shifting concepts and
practices of Mobility in contemporary culture, creatively limning the
possibilities and limits of such a concept for understanding 21st century
life.
About the Awards
All fellowship recipients will participate in a one-week residency June
21-25, 2004 at the Institute for Multimedia Literacy in Los Angeles, where
they will have access to the IMLís state of the art, Mac-based production
facilities. Fellows will have continuing access to work in collaboration
with world-class designers and the IMLís technical support and programming
team throughout the projectís development.
The residency will include colloquia and working sessions where
participants will have the chance to develop project foundations and
collectively engage relevant issues in scholarly multimedia. Applicants
need not be proficient with new media authoring; however, evidence of
successful collaboration and scholarly innovation is desirable. Fellowship
awards will include an honorarium of $2000 for each participant or team of
collaborators, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses.
About the Proposals
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.
Applicants are encouraged to think beyond the computer screen to consider
possibilities created by the proliferation of wireless technology,
handheld devices, alternative exhibition venues, etc. Fellows will also
have the possibility to imagine scholarly applications for newly
developing technologies through productive collaborations with scientists
and engineers. Projects may translate existing scholarly work or be
entirely conceived for new media. We are particularly interested in work
that re-imagines the role of the user and seeks to reach broader publics
while creatively exploring the value of collaboration and interactivity.
Proposals should include the following:
∑ Title of project and a one-sentence description
∑ A 3-5 page description of the project concept, goals and outcome (this
description should address questions of audience, innovative uses of
interactivity, address and form, as well the projectís contribution to the
field of multimedia scholarship and to contemporary scholarship more
generally)
∑ Brief biography of each applicant, including relevant qualifications and
experience for this fellowship
∑ Full CV for each applicant
∑ Anticipated required resources (design, technical, hardware, software,
exhibition, etc.)
∑ Projected timeline
∑ Sample media if available (CD, DVD, VHS (any standard), or NTSC
Mini-DV); for electronic submissions, URLs are preferred but still images
may be sent as e-mail attachments if necessary)
Please submit to:

"THE SHIT'S HIT THE FAN- GOTTA CALL MY NEIGHBOR."
What will you do when you stop believing that things will get better and
start doing something yourself?
------
This is the moment without: healthcare, reproductive rights for women,
real
organic agricultural standards, job prospects, arts funding,
environmental
protection laws welfare or affordable housing. This is the moment of
strikes
without end, death before diplomacy and border deaths. This is the
lingering moment of an un-elected president, state sponsored racism
and
xenophobia, and a sci-fi winner-take-all worldscape.
-----
But don't despair! You, artists and/or activists can collaboratively
create
a new world. Our networks and DIY projects create herky-jerky
solutions to
this moment of crisis.
-----
To these ends the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest proposes an art
project
"THE SHIT'S HIT THE FAN- GOTTA CALL MY NEIGHBOR."
We are asking for you to enact your collaborative solutions and visions
to
the structural problems inherent in all of our lives. Play them out in the
city any way that you see fit. Document your actions and send it to us.
We'll publish it in our magazine or online.
---------------------------
1. We ARE NOT looking for protest signs. We ARE looking for visions,
plans
and the enactment of creative visions.
2. Projects must be made together by at least 2 people.
3. At least one participant in each project must have a connection
to Los Angeles.
4. Please send your preliminary project idea and questions to
contact@journalofaestheticsandprotest.org by February 26. (This step
is
important because we will need to discuss how to document your
project
for reproduction in print or online.)
5. Final submissions are due by March 10th. Include a one-paragraph
project description. Include the names of your collaborators, and
any vital statistics on your project. Please send your submissions in
digital format to contact@journalofaestheticsandprotest.org

On Civility - Performance Research Vol.9 No.4 (December 2004)
Issue Editor: Alan Read
Call for Contributions
Proposal Deadline: February 27th 2004
Civility might appear the last and least likely term to mobilise attention in
the non-conformist realm of performance. But this call for contributions,
prompted by discussions that took place as part of the symposium 'Civic
Centre: Reclaiming the Right to Performance' recognises an expanded political
vocabulary in recent work drawing on a set of previously discredited terms
(http:///www.civiccentre.org). The concept of 'friends and enemies' proposed
by Carl Schmitt as the founding antithetical relationship of the political,
'fidelity to the event' in the philosophy and writing on theatre of Alain
Badiou, agencies of 'welcome and intimacy' in Alphonso Lingis's sensual
locating of human- animal action, Doreen Massey's conception of the
'stranger' within and outside the city, and Richard Sennett's engagement with
terms such as 'respect' and 'civility' since he wrote 'The Fall of Public
Man' thirty years ago, are part of this register. These writers point, at the
very least, to an alternative way of conceiving of the much abused and banal
'Other' of identity theory and its attendant critical concept of
'difference' that once promised so much but seem to have delivered little
beyond academic promotion. But do these categories resonate in the
performance field?
Performance is unlikely to conceive of civility in its essentialist mode of
'manners' (though a deconstruction of Ancien Regime customs of public formal
display would be more than welcome) but rather is more likely to detect its
interest in the term's fruity overtones: the 'sly civility' that Homi Bhabha
locates at the heart of the modern colonising imagination, the uncivil wars
inherent in performance interventions that contest the suffocating normative
frame of civility challenging its whiff of legality, politics of restraint,
accommodation to difference and rule-following, through to the inherent
Janus-faced duplicity of the theatrical mode such as Edward Albee's stage
direction in his Tony award winning play 'The Goat': 'There is chaos behind
the civility, of course'.
This 'of course' might serve as an invitation to ask why and what is at stake
in the politics and performance of civility? Is civility, as Sennett once
proposed, simply the capacity not to make oneself a burden to others? That
would, at a stroke, characterise theatre as one of the more uncivil arts. Or
might we expand the implications of the term with Rustom Bharucha who asks:
'Why should the civility of theatre be immune to the political threats faced
in the larger public sphere? What makes the theatre so special when other
sites of social interaction in the public sphere are under attack? Should the
civil be immunised against the contamination of the political? What if the
civil is infected in its own right?'
These questions pertaining to the operations of theatre and its institutional
contexts might be equally addressed to the liberal humanist obsequies of the
expanded field of performance: the grace notes of musical appreciation, the
courtesies of choreography, the host and guest niceties of installation and
site- specific work. It is not that civility always brings with it an
inevitable dark-side of the intemperate and intolerant (stupid!). Nor that it
is bound to its 'other' (witness the studied anarchic and rude that groups
such as the Wooster Group and Forced Entertainment have done so much to
return to the civil realm, why else do they bow to us after we have endured
all those apparent insults?). But rather how to hold on to the botched
concept of civility for long enough to see the myriad ways current
performance (from the lyrical 'In Yer Face Theatre' to the pestilential
Gwynneth Paltrow's Oscar acceptance speech, from the charming Stuart Brisley
to the demonic Forster and Heighes) while protesting its radical
qualifications continues to construct conditions for its polite perpetuation.
That might be a question worth exploring (if you please - but if you can't be
arsed, don't bother!).
To mix with papers developed from ideas originally presented at 'Civic
Centre' and axioms from artists and academics we are looking for responses to
the above concerns particularly from performance makers, artists, individuals
and groups who suspect that performance experience is not sufficiently caught
in the circulating simplifications of empathy and alienation, investment and
boredom, nice and nasty and recognise civility as an unlikely circuit-
breaker.
