My e-commerce art work Shop Mandiberg (http://www.mandiberg.com/shop) is included in a net.art survey at the New Museum here in New York. The exhibition opens this wednesday night, and runs until september 10th. The url is http://www.newmuseum.org/now_upcoming.php
Also, check out this inventive fundraising effort to attend/document a conference on the transiberian railway; when the grant doesnt come through, sell the work before it is done! I dare say, the ebay sale even sounds like it could almost be net.art itself:

To read more about this ground-breaking program, please visit http://www.dtw.org/downloads/woodhullartistsfinal5-18.pdf or http://www.dancenyc.org/topics.asp?file=news to download the Woodhull Q&A and the ArtistAccess application. HAVE NO FEAR: The Financial Counselors at Woodhull are thoroughly aware of the income patterns of artists and art workers - if you are unable to provide proof of income with a pay stub, you will be asked to simply self-declare your annual income.

#510: If The Shoe Fits

School of the Art Institute of Chicago
280 S. Columbus
Chicago, IL 60603
March 10 - April 14, 2006
Opening reception: March 10, 2006
**Call for Artists' Books Submission Deadline 09/16/05
**Call for Curricululm Submission Deadline 09/09/05
This interdisciplinary exhibition responds to the cultural variants
inherent in the story that folklorists have classified as #510. One
version of this tale is known most commonly in the United States as
"Cinderella" although originally the tale can be traced to a Chinese
version entitled "Yeh-hsein" from 850 A.D. According to folklorists,
#510 is the oldest and most widely circulated tale of transformation
known to humankind.
The exhibition will include juried artists' books, murals
collaboratively designed by Chicago Public School students, and
artwork generated through partner schools in international exchange
projects. In conjunction with the exhibition, on-line teacher
resource information will include curricula developed by educators
from both the US and abroad that assess contemporary themes within
this age-old tale.

Call for Submissions/Contributions for Image-Blog
This is a call to all cultural producers and activists worldwide to submit and contribute photographs for an image-blog within the context the exhibition "Moving..On: Handlungen an Grenzen - Strategien zum Antirassistischen Handeln" in the Neuen Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst (NGBK) Berlin/Germany in August 2005.
The image-blog will be a daily updated view at the world with particular focus on migrants. We call on you to "arm" yourself with various forms of digital cameras (e.g. mobile phone cams, web cams, photo/video cameras), document signs of incarceration and exclusion, of discrimination and hardship of migrants, and send us the image files immediately via e-mail. We will filter received images and construct a daily global collage from the selections.
What we are looking for are the subtle signs that are globally embedded in the urban text structure. Here, we are interested in particular in re-interpretations, re-framings and subversions of the everyday societal and cultural superficialities. Photographed texts and signs, which have been manipulated, changed and defaced in order to create new meanings, would also function in this context.
In this project, we want to avoid the well-known image language of "victim photography" and rather show depictions of the conditions that turn human beings into victims in the first place. In this sense, the image as a selective representation of reality is not only suppose to document what is, but also show in its semiotic capacity what else there is.
Later in the final presentation – through the montage of a globally diverse image selection – we hope to have critically re-configured meaning to allow the viewer a deeper look into societies and the positions of the migrant within it. At least, that would be the objective of this project.
Technical Aspects:
Image size: between 18x12 cm (7x5 inches) and 22.5x15 cm (9x6 inches)
Resolution: 72 dpi
File format: JPEG, PDF
File Size: no bigger than 700KB

Experimental TV Center announces July 15 deadline for artists residency program.
The Experimental Television Center announces the next deadline for the Artists in Residency Program, July 15, 2005, for residencies between September 1, 2005 and January 31, 2006.
The Residency supports contemporary electronic media art projects. The studio workshop environment offers access to an image processing system, intensive individualized instruction and time for exploration and personal creative growth. Artists have an opportunity to study the processes and techniques of analog and digital imaging and to then use the system independently in the creation of new works. Participating artists have complete aesthetic and technical control over all aspects of the making process.
The image processing system is a hybrid tool set which facilitates interactive relationships between older historically important analog instruments such as colorizers and keyers, and new digital technologies using several G4s, a customized Doepfer A-100 system with sonic and control modules, software including Max/MSP, Jitter and Pluggo, as well as DVD authoring and editing software, DVD Studio Pro and Flash. Recording is mini-DV/DV and DVD. Svhs and 3/4" decks are also available. This rich electronic environment encourages artists to explore boundaries and intersections within narrative, documentary and social issue traditions as well as more experimental forms. A complete list is available by email and on the web in the News section. The postmark deadline is July 15th. You are encouraged to email the written materials. To apply please send the following:
A brief project description
A current resume
A prioritized set of dates between September 2005 and January 2006.
A sample of completed work with SASE if you wish it returned.
