SCALE (http://scale.ucsd.edu) would like to encourage you to submit
"work" for its upcoming online-only August & September issue. SCALE is a
non-profit journal that explores new modes of production and
dissemination based on open-source and networked communities.
The theme for the August/September SCALE is APOCALYPSE. As we look
forward to the coming election in November, it seems prudent to reinvest
ourselves in exploring the possibilities of our own self-destruction.
Often rooted in religious and science-fiction genres, apocalyptic themes
have proven fruitful as a framework from which to question our
collective hopes, fears, and concerns, on a local and universal scale.
In your submissions, feel free to explore and exploit your personal
imaginations of APOCALYPSE as a loose starting point for your
submission. Please keep in mind that SCALE likes to abide by terms
obliquely, and as such encourages all types of submissions, from dirty
sketches and musings, to polished images and essays.
Initially formulated within the graduate programs of the Visual Arts at
the University of California, San Diego, SCALE was created by Jon
Phillips (http://www.rejon.org) and Patrick W. Deegan
(http://www.pwdeegan.org) as a strategy of response to a growing
interest in developing Open Source communities across the globe. SCALE
is a monthly publication living in both PDF print and online PDF/WIKI
format.
+++++++++++++
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
+ Additional instructions for submission can be found at
http://scale.ucsd.edu under ’ÄúRead the File and Style Guidelines.’Äù
+ Text or Image submissions must be in PDF format NOT exceeding 10MB and
8.5’Äù x 11’Äùin dimension. Because this month is ONLINE-ONLY, color
submissions are encouraged. Images must be 300dpi.
+ Multimedia submissions will be hyperlinked for download from a page
within in the compiled PDF publication. If submitting a file for
linkage, it is recommended you also submit some type of graphic image in
consideration of how your piece will be represented in the layout. By
doing so, we can include the URL to your file within the image provided
by you. If other circumstances are desired, please let us know.
+ For Multimedia submissions, please upload the actual file and NOT the
URL to where it is located on behalf of your own site. WE WILL BE
HOSTING THESE FILES ON THE SCALE SERVER. However, mentions of your
respective websites are allowed.
+ All work submitted will be initially accredited to you unless
suggested otherwise, however, in its online format the work will be
deemed Open Content (as defined by http://www.creativecommons.org) and
could possibly be subject to artistic reinterpretation (at a later date)
on behalf of SCALE’Äôs community of readers.
+++++++++++++
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
+ The submission process begins now and ends effectively on Monday,
September 20, 2004.
+ In the week to follow, we will be compiling and publishing the
online-only August/September issue.
+ Submissions, progress, and status can be immediately checked online.

Today in Paradise – Genetics & Art
Mobileart 05
G??teborg New Media Art Festival
at R??da Sten, G??teborg, Sweden
Submission Deadline: 24 November 2004
www.mobileart.se
The call for works is open to artists, designers and performers both internationally and from the Nordic region willing to engage in the theme “Today in Paradise – Genetics & Art”.
Mobileart is announcing a call for works for its exhibition and festival which will open on the 1st April, 2005. This will consist of a 3-day festival/symposium held on Friday 1st April to Sunday 3rd April, concurrent with an exhibition at the same venue from Friday 1st April – Sunday 17th April.
Today in Paradise – Genetics & Art will be held at R??da Sten (www.rodasten.com), a cultural landmark which lies on the sea entrance to the city of Gothenburg. Previously housing a huge industrial boiler, R??da Sten today is a hub for exhibitions and arts events, and offers everything from huge open spaces to small intimate rooms distributed over its approximate 1000 square metres. The outside of the building is a free zone for the graffiti artists of the city, and this unconventional exhibition space sets the scene for innovative explorations. The goal of Project R??da Sten is to develop itself as a nordic cultural centre for art, theatre, music and dance and to host international exhibitions of high standard.
Mobileart is an organisation focussing on the advancement of digital and net-based art. Through exhibitions both on- and off-line, Mobileart seeks to create a forum for activities, meetings and information revolving around such art forms as visual art, music, design and architecture.
THEMATIC BACKGROUND
Since the middle of the 90’s, a public debate about the possible consequences of biotechnology and genetics has emerged, with particular focus on how they might affect our lives and environment.
The Scottish sheep Dolly, born in 1996 and deceased in 2003, was a catalyst for the emergence of this debate. The first mammal to be born through cloning, Dolly became symbolic of and synonymous with the new biotechnology. Biotechnology gave us a new perspective on ourselves with the completed mapping of the human genome.
Many ethical questions have been opened up regarding the new biotechnology. Several aspects of our lives have been influenced over the last few years – living organisms and bodily organs can be reproduced, genes can be patented, genetic manipulation has found its way into agriculture, new medicines have been produced in the wake of the new biotechnology. The discoveries of genetic science and technology leaves us faced with several questions that deal with ethics, social relations, economics, religion and culture.
In our every day life today we look out for the tags of “genetically modified” on groceries, get offers from commercial bio-banks when we give birth and there’s even an American company willing to take your order to clone your pet cat.
Today biological and evolutionary processes are simulated by computers and information technology. Genetic and evolutionary algorithms are finding their way into many different fields of interest, within and outside of scientific areas of exploration. Examples of unusual applications of these algorithms can be already found in music, art and design.
We are now in the era of post genetic revolution. The cloning technologies and gene mapping that once shocked are now commonplace, silently and often invisibly integrating themselves into the everyday. It is in such a climate that we would like to re-stimulate the debate and re-frame the question of how these are affecting us, and how we can express this through art.
EXHIBITION AND FESTIVAL
The exhibition is open to works based on the theme “Today in Paradise – Genetics & Art” from various fields such as visual arts, architecture, design, music, dance and performance. Artists are invited to interpret the theme in various ways, either through direct commentary on genetics and biotechnology, or from a sociological/cultural perspective. Liberal interpretations and more abstract approaches to the theme will also be encouraged. Works utilizing genetic algorithms and evolutionary processes are also of interest, and need not be thematically or aesthetically related to the topic.
For the exhibition from the 1st to 17th April we are looking for artists working in all kinds of media, for example interactive installations, photography, video, sound, and net based art. As this will be a group exhibition, space will be shared among the participants so this in an important factor to be aware of when submitting works.
For the festival from the 1st to 3rd April we are seeking participants from the fields of music (especially electronic), dance and performance art to present pieces on site.
A part of the exhibition will also hold information and visions from ongoing research from Biotechnology institutions and companies.
