Moscow International Film Festival

Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is held since 1959 and
gradually it has become one of most respectable and prestigious
film-forums in the world. In 1973 MIFF was registered by the
International Federation of Film-producers associations (FIAPF) as an
´Aª class film festival alongside with those in Berlin, Cannes,
San-Sebastian, Karlovy Vary and Venice.



This is the fifth year Media Forum is organized as part of the Moscow
International Film Festival. The role of new media in audiovisual
art and culture received due recognition and Media Forum was
immediately introduced into the official program of MIFF.



Media Forum is the first event of such scale in Russia and it reveals
a new vision of the world of new media culture and new screen
technologies to the professionals, critics and public in general. The
objective of Media Forum is to demonstrate the connection between
traditional and modern branches of screen culture, the impact of
technological innovations on visual arts.



Media Forum as action is an exchange of ideas, infusion of new forces
into contemporary culture and vice versa. It is an attempt to
demonsrtate the logic of new thought and new communications. At the
moment it is inside media culture that new ideas go through trial
and approbation, ideas that cannot be realized in contemporary art
context.

...............................................
VIPER Basel
is one of the major European film, video and new media festivals. It offers a highly-regarded platform for presenting innovative works and projects, attracting Swiss and international filmmakers and producers, artists, curators, critics and purveyors of ideas from the media, research and politics.
In addition, VIPER Basel's International Forum provides annually an
up-to-date podium for presenting and discussing forward-looking positions, models and scenarios - a Think-and-Do-Tank for 21st century media, culture and society.

...............................................
VIPER Basel | Competition 2004

The VIPER Basel | Competition 2004 is an international competition. An
independent jury will nominate and award the works and projects
submitted in the categories [imagination | processing | transposition].

[Imagination]
This category is open to works and projects dealing with traditional and future forms of the moving image.
Possible submissions include analogue and digital films/videos, experimental films (including sound/video), 2D and 3D animations, extended forms of traditional cinema, linear and non-linear narrative image sequences, mobile and innovative screen formats, split- and/or multiple-screen arrangements. They may be complemented by modes of individual and collective interaction if wished.

[Processing]
This category is open to works and projects that are characterised by processes and live elements.
Installations or systems can be submitted that are devised to involve a local situation and/or an audience actively, thus emphasising the ability to interact and improvise when handling digital information systems. This includes performances, immersive and hybrid (real/virtual) environments, 'play- and social software' applications, 'smart objects', intelligent and ambient systems as well as interface and interaction design.

[Transposition]
This category is open to works and projects emphasising acting and
communicating within technologically defined networks.
Applications, prototypes and concepts can be submitted that use or
specifically apply network architecture that functions independently of time and place. This includes for example location-related and distributed systems (LAN/WAN/WIFI etc.), mobile computing, GPS applications, infra-red and Bluetooth connections. The key feature in each case is an unusual and/or experimental use of technologically defined network topographies.

The New Forms Festival is an annual event highlighting emerging forms at the junction of art, culture and technology. It includes performances, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive exhibits on contemporary Media Arts issues. The NFF environment encourages new forms of Media Art to be created, experienced, and understood. NFF04 will be held in Vancouver, BC, from October 14 to 28, 2004. The theme is TECHNOGRAPHY: the inscription of culture in technology.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY is a forum to explore and embody these inscriptions in the form of artistic expression and discourse.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY looks at the ways in which cultures inhabit and transform media spaces and technologies.

NFF04:TECHNOGRAPHY will bring together practitioners and theorists from across grassroots, gallery academy and academic contexts and provide a platform for conversations among the diverse voices of contemporary digital regionalism.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY programming incorporates the principles found within an ecological model of the cultural sphere: complexity, variety and balance. Like nature, culture is also a changing phenomenon, affected by the ways in which technology inhabits the environment and relates to it.

Call for proposals for projects, presentations and performances

Deadline: May 14th, 2004

Proposals are invited for four areas of the festival: the Conference, the Exhibition (digital art, performance, installation, immersive environments, Net.Art), Performance Series (sound art, performance art, live film/AV) and Late Night Events (music, visuals, post-digital, laptop, group performance, screenings).

Gallery Exhibition/Events/Workshops

This year the Exhibition (Gallery and Net Art), Performance Series, and Late Night Events will present a range of works that embody and interpret the theme of TECHNOGRAPHY as defined above.

For more details, see

Conference

The NFF04 Conference, Old And New Forms , negotiates new global parameters for contemporary media culture, as it charts a post-traditional ëtechnographyí of world Media Arts. The post-traditional is what remains of modernism and postmodernism when modernization is abandoned as an unfinished and unachievable project. While the post-traditional view is clearly meaningful in the post-colonial and developing spheres, Old And New Forms posits that it is equally germane to the global post-industrial scenario as a whole.

For more details, see

Deadline: May 14th, 2004

Call for submissions from Variablemedia
---------------------------------------

This is a call for artists to submit proposals to Variablemedia, for
their on-line project space: www.variablemedia.org. Variablemedia is a
London (UK) based organisation which has been co-ordinating artists' web
projects since 2002.

Selected artists will 'occupy' the sites' space for a period of between
one and three months. A criterion of these projects is that they develop
over time as the online space is available for the artists to change,
update and add to during their project's run. Variablemedia.org presents
the artists' work in an un-mediated form; all explanatory material about
the organisation and it's projects is held at the sister
www.variablemedia.info site.

The work proposed can take any form; image, text, sound, animation etc.
though streaming video is beyond our server's capabilities at the
moment.We can provide some technical assistance in the development of
these projects such as testing and trouble shooting and do welcome
artists who do not normally make work for the web. We are a self funded
organisation and undertake to publicise the projects as widely as
possible including some paid for advertising.

To submit a proposal to Variablemedia, email info@variablemedia.info
with some written details about your proposed project and how you
envisage it will evolve online. Do include a short CV/Biog and if you
have any links to relevant sites include these. The first deadline for
proposals is 19th April 2004.

For more information on Variablemedia go to http://www.variablemedia.info

Artslink - Call for Submissions

What do you think when you hear the word "merger"?

Most people think immediately of the corporate world: AT&T,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, ExxonMobile. But mergers, collaborations, strategic
alliances, and many other forms of partnership-formal and informal, legal and
de facto-are increasingly common among nonprofits, including arts
organizations. Many are finding that there is safety in numbers in these
uncertain financial times.

Americans for the Arts knows that this is an issue of great concern to our
constituents. Our 2003 study conducted by Wolf, Keens & Co., revealed that
many have considered partnerships to cope with budget shortfalls, and a number
of members have contacted us for technical assistance in this area. To help
address the concerns of our members, we will focus on collaborations and
strategic alliances in the summer issue of ArtsLink, and we'd like to hear
from you. We will be profiling some of our members who have successfully (or
unsuccessfully) banded together with other organizations to further their
mission, expand their services, or simply save some money.

We'd like to hear about:
* Mergers (two groups become one) and takeovers (one group absorbs another)
* Collaborations and strategic alliances (two groups work together on a
project but retain their own identities and missions)
* Sharing of space (two or more groups physically occupy the same facility but
operate separately)
* Other joint ventures

Please e-mail your stories to Susan Gillespie, the ArtsLink managing editor,
at sgillespie@artsusa.org. Submissions should contain the name and location of
each organization involved, a contact person for each organization, and a
brief (250 words or less) description of the project or collaboration. Please
write "Strategic Alliances" in the subject line. The managing editor will
contact you for further information if your organization is selected to be
profiled.

Please send your submissions no later than Friday, April 16, 2004.
Questions? Contact Susan Gillespie at sgillespie@artsusa or at 202.371.2830.

DIAGRAM: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

DIAGRAM is an electronic magazine of text, art, schematic, and (as of recently) sound. Aside from our online presence (which receives well over 30,000 hits a month), we publish a periodic print anthology (available through Amazon, our website, and fine bookstores) as well as a chapbook series.

Throughout its monthly 2004 issues, DIAGRAM will publish audio art exploring the intersection of text, language, sound. This is a call for artists/musicians/writers working in sound to submit audio pieces for consideration.

Please take the time to peruse the journal prior to submission. Submissions may include field recordings, abstraction, spoken word, electronic or acoustic music, [insert any other shorthand description of sound exploration you please], or any combination thereof, so long as it addresses in some way, our interests: In oddness. In representations. In naming. In indicating. In the way that meaning happens within rule-governed systems. In schematics. In the labeling and taxonomy of things. In the phenomenal distance between sound and source. In sound work that engages in dialog; takes language or poetry or narrative as its subject, object, or referent, master or servant; addresses the language at the morpheme, phoneme, handsign, lips and tongue-level. WE VALUE the insides of things, vivisection, urgency, risk, elegance, flamboyance, work that moves us, language that does something new, or does something old--well. We like iteration and reiteration. Ruins and ghosts. Mechani!
cal, moving parts, balloons, and frenzy.

WE WANT sound pieces that engage the mechanics of meaning/poetry; the processes / of things, both inner and outer; of sound-image, confused, manipulated and otherwise; pieces that demonstrate rather then explain; point and uncover rather than demolish; how things become. How they expire. How they move or churn, or stand. Send us sound analogous to annotations, schematics, poems, sentence diagrams, definitions. Translate into/from sound.

PARAMETERS

Submissions must be received by May 31, 2004. Please limit pieces to 3-4 minutes in length. Audio vignettes and cameos.

We prefer electronic submissions (mp3) but will accept data files on CD-Rs, too (.wav, .aif, or high resolution stereo mp3s).

Send zipped high resolution stereo mp3 files to earache@thediagram.com

All submissions should be accompanied by a brief artist’s bio and a ‘statement of intent’ addressing the sound work.
