Sense of Fear
CESTA's 11th Arts Festival of International, Interdisciplinary
Collaborations
August 2006
It is said that fear is the strongest emotion. Perhaps this is its
only universal characteristic, and it is a curious one. As
something which stimulates every living organism similarly fear
carries infinite responses, often strong opposites: arrogance and
timidity, empowerment and immobilization, desecration and
reverence. Such polarities lend themselves easily to exploitation
experienced with alarming regularity in the politicization of
otherwise existential, subjectively defined, and potentially
manageable fears.
For Sense of Fear, CESTA invites artists from all disciplines to
collaborate in creating works which explore, perceive and define
fear - the personal and collective - towards discovering where
fantasy meets phobia, when a chance to be challenged becomes
an opportunity to be oppressed, why selfhood and society are
strengthened or compromised.
CESTA's festival themes and parameters of cross-national
interdisciplinary collaborations represent the center's
commitment to improving communication through creative
expression. We base our selection of artists on a review of
applications resulting from our annual open call. Applicants
request CESTA to connect them with one or more collaboration
partners or apply as a pre-formed collaboration group*. For
Sense of Fear all final festival collaboration groups must be:
1) Cross-national: more than one nationality
2) Interdisciplinary: more than one artistic medium
3) Collaborative: conceptualizing and creating interdependent
artistic work
AND must contain work created exclusively for Sense of Fear.
*If you are applying as a group which already fits the above
parameters, you may qualify to apply as a pre-formed
collaboration group. Details for applying as a pre-formed
collaboration group are on the application form.
Festival Application Deadline: December 2, 2005

ARTIFICIAL A.GENDER? ONLINE EXHIBITION
The gendered machineÖ Will the humanís disposition for categorising things cause a binary split for the machine as well? Or will the merging of human and machine see a breakdown of gendered dichotomies? The gendered machine is closer to our hearts than we can imagine, physically we are already unconsciously becoming machines through pacemakers and tooth fillings; the constant shift between the two states of reality and virtual reality can either transcend the idea of the split between human/machine or forge a new class of categories that determines the gender of a machine.
We would like to see contributions either: experimental e-poetry or new media art that takes the above ideas and to transform them into your own interpretation.
Prizes will be awarded to first and second place, while the top ten will be showcased in an online exhibition.
SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be submitted electronically, via e-mail as an attachment or send url of work
A brief author bio and approx. 4 sentence description must accompany the work.

DEADLINE PROLONGED TO 1st of OCTOBER 2005
http://www.videoreporter.org
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is an international
competition specifically geared towards innovative documentary shorts
and non-fiction digital films helmed by a single autonomous author.
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
INTERNATIONAL VIDEO REPORTING AWARD
2000 Euro
Criteria: Documentary film of 15 minutes length at most, which has been
produced by one or more Video Journalists/ Video Reporters. Open
category. Those films will be awarded that experiment with this new mode
of production and outstand by a journalistic ñ cinematic narrative in
form and content. The filmmakerís fondness of experimentation is very
important to us.
GERMAN VIDEO JOURNALISM/ VIDEO REPORTING AWARD
2000Euro
Criteria: Television documentary of 15 minutes length at most, which has
been produced by one or more Video Journalists/ Video Reporters and
broadcasted by a German television broadcast station (please explicitly
state broadcast station and date of broadcasting). Those
journalistically as well as technically outstanding works will be
awarded that also meet the claims of mainstream television and show an
innovative and self-contained personal style.
VIDEO JOURNALISM/ VIDEO REPORTING TALENT AWARD
500Euro
Criteria: Film of 15 minutes length at most, which has been produced by
one or more Video Reporters/ Video Journalists. The applicants must be
under the age of thirty or enrolled in a University for admission. We
will award those films that convince us of an individual personal style
in content or cinematography and that show us the applicantsí
outstanding potential.
Video Reporting is the merge of cinematography, editing, sound and
directing in one single persons hand.
Film and television technicians adopt these digital documentary
techniques and regard the resultant new autonomous ways of production as
a challenge.
Not only will the jury and the preselection committee judge the idea and
conception of the film but they will also place great emphasis on the
way the filmmaker creatively dealt with the new digital authoring principle.
Smaller cameras offer more freedom of movement and consequently often
lead to new perspectives and prospects differing from what you see on
television.
Additionally, commercial video editing software has achieved a level of
sophistication allowing for quick and playful experimentation with the
footage.
The end results are journalistic films which inspire new boundaries in
the field of TV journalism.
We seek outstanding films that experiment with this new mode of
production and whose journalistic-cinematic narrative catches our
attention in form and content.
Furthermore the films should withstand traditional quality criteria and
simultaneously broaden the boundaries of mainstream television.
We are looking for documentary films and authentically narrated stories
captivating us with their particular intensity, an innovative creativity
and a very distinctive personal authoring style.
We also place a great deal of emphasis on the filmmakers fondness for
experimentation, however, keeping in mind the presented films should not
exceed 15 minutes and they should have been produced by one or more
Video Reporters/ Video Journalists.
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is being borne by the
Bauhaus University Weimar as well as those television broadcast stations
that are already working together with Video Journalists large scale ñ
Hessischer Rundfunk, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, Deutsche Welle TV .
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is going to take place on
the 5. and 6. November in Weimar. It is being organised by the
professorship Medienereignisse of the media faculty of the Bauhaus
University Weimar.
The Jury are: Philip Hilven (TV Limburg/Belgium), Lisa Lambden (BBC/UK),
Jan Metzger (HR/Germany), Benedikt Otto (MDR/Germany), Michael Rosenblum
(Rosenblum Ass., USA), Dr. Christian Trippe (DW-TV/Germany), Mike Kraus
(Award winner 2004, UK) and Professor Wolfgang Kissel (Bauhaus-University).
Videoreporters, Video journalists, documentary filmmakers, program
managers, journalists, videobloggers and TV directors from all across
Europe and the USA will discuss the potential of video reporting/ video
journalism in contrast with mainstream television in public screenings,
panels and discussions.
The awards ceremony will take place on the 6. November 2005 in the ìMon
Amiî cinema and cultural centre in Weimar.
The festival is directed by Sabine Streich and curated by Albert Beckmann.

Interactive City Call for Proposals ISEA2006 Symposium http://www.urban-atmospheres.net/ISEA2006/
Proposals Due: 9 December 2005Final Decisions: 10 February 2006
"Never confuse the map with the Territory"--Empire of the Sun, J.G. Ballard
The city has always been a site of transformation: of lives, ofpopulations, even of civilizations. With the rise of the mega city,however; with the advent of 24/7 rush hours; with the inexorableconversion of public space into commercial space; with the rise ofsurveillance; with the computer-assisted precision of redlining; withthe viral advance of the xenophobic, the contemporary city is weighteddown. We dream of something more. Not something planned and canned,like another confectionary spectacle. Something that can respond toour dreams. Something that will transform with us, not just performchange on us, like an operation.
The Interactive City seeks urban-scale projects for which the city isnot merely a palimpsest of our desires but an active participant intheir formation. From dynamic architectural skins to composite skyportraits to walking in someone else's shoes to geocaches of urbanlore to hybrid games with a global audience, projects for theInteractive City should transform the "new" technologies of mobile andpervasive computing, ubiquitous networks, and locative media intoexperiences that matter.
The Interactive City is one of four major themes to be featured atISEA2006 Symposium + ZeroOne San Jose Festival. Interactive Cityproposals should embrace aspects of the city of San JosZ specificallyand/or the surrounding metropolitan San Francisco Bay Area. Pleasevisit the Interactive City web page for a list of early round acceptedprojects and a partial list of urban sub-themes.

ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM
CALL FOR ARTISTS AND PROPOSALS
http://asuartmuseum.asu.edu/callforartists
for the exhibition
NEW AMERICAN CITY (working title)
September 9, 2006 - January 6, 2007
New American City (working title) will explore the unique nature
of the growth and vitality of metropolitan Phoenix through the
work of area artists. No models exist for the future of Phoenix
with the economic, social and cultural forces at play. What
distinguishes Phoenix from other urban centers is its youth,
its astronomical growth in a short period of time, social and
ethnic stratifications, a technology-driven economy, and
geographic and environmental challenges.
This exhibition is inspired in part by the current level of energy
and experimentation in the visual arts community in Phoenix,
and the active participation of artists in the growth and envisioning
of the city. In addition, Arizona State University has committed
itself to a new creative urbanism in Phoenix, embedding the arts
into the planning process. The ASU Art Museum is known
nationally as, " The single most impressive venue in the state for
contemporary art ... " (Raphael Rubenstein, Art in America magazine).
This exhibition will explore the current role of visual art and artists
in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and their insight into this
New American City.
THE CALL
Arizona State University Art Museum announces a call for artists
and proposals to raise our awareness of artists living in our community.
PHASE I
The first phase of the exhibition ' s curatorial process will be the
review
and consideration of documentation and/or short proposals submitted
by individual artists and collaborative teams to this open call. By
submitting their work or proposal, artists ensure that it is reviewed
by the curators. There is no inherent advantage to submitting a proposal
over documentation. However, in selecting specific documentation
for submission, we encourage artists to consider how their work engages
with or parallels the complex issues surrounding the city.
The curators will also be soliciting and considering recommendations
from artists, curators, gallerists and other community activists. The
multiple approaches are an attempt to create a curatorial process that
is open, flexible and based on discovery and experimentation.
PHASE II
After reviewing all submitted proposals and documentation, the curators
will select artists for short studio visits as the second phase of the
curatorial process. A STUDIO VISIT IS NOT AN INVITATION TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE EXHIBITION, but is a further step in reviewing
possible art and artists.
PHASE III
After the studio visit and further dialogue with the curators, artists will
be
invited to participate in the exhibition, New American City (working title).
We are interested in exhibiting work that has not been seen in the region
and may request new work at this time.
PHASE IV
Invited artists will engage in continued discussion with the curators
throughout the development of the work, the installations and the
exhibition.

Dear friends,
I'd like to invite you to participate in a new project of mine.
Whereyouare ( http://whereyouare.org ) is an experiment in the collective documentation of neighborhoods. It harnesses the power of folksonomy tags from a range of sites that host and organize content of different kinds (flickr for photos, vimeo for video, delicious for links, etc.). To contribute, you simply tag your content with a tag that is unique to your neighborhood and the project, and everyone's material is brought together on whereyouare.org.
I began this project with the idea of documenting my own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, whose quirky and ephemeral beauties are currently endangered by a wave of new development. Walking my familiar streets I realized that I couldn't possibly be the only person who had this idea - many others must be simultaneously working to capture the flavor of this place, this moment in time.
Why not invite collaboration and share our perceptions of place with each other?
As with most people, recent events have radically altered my idea of what an endangered or lost neighborhood is, and it seemed right to open the project up for wider use. Everyone is invited to participate by documenting any neighborhood they love. Those with material from neighborhoods which have now been damaged or destroyed by Katrina are especially warmly encouraged to contribute.
http://whereyouare.org
all the best,
Sal

New project at no-org.net >> call for submissions
¿Blog?
[http://no-org.net/blogs]
Blog, one of the most spread forms of expression on the web, varying from
personal diaries to community weblogs, professional knowledge exchange
resources, political campaigns and more. In their different manifestations,
blogs (moblogs, videoblogs, photoblogs, etc.), became a phenomenon
influencing in many cases upon social and cultural areas: journalism,
politics, alternative knowledge sources, literature, art, etc.
The ¿blog? project takes blog as art and as a stage for net artworks
investigating the language, the aesthetics, the impacts and the practices
of blogs, blogging and the blogoesphere.
In this context, it's worth mentioning the blog.art project --one of the
first projects dealing with the notion of blog as art -- operating for
about a year and publishing blog-defined art projects.
¿Blog? project acts (is envisioned to act) as a platform for an open
discussion on the topic and as a pool for submitting works. No-org.net
invites submissions of art projects making use of blog as a tool, subject,
or both as well as texts investigating the blog-art interplay in a broad
sense.
Selected texts and artworks will be exhibited (separately) on the
no-org.net website. The launch of the project will be accompanied by an
opening event and the discussion, that will get documented on the
no-org.net website.
Deadline for submissions: 30/10

The SCAPE Art & Industry Urban Arts Biennials provide a forum for artists to collaborate with industry, develop new, challenging and innovative visual artworks of the highest calibre, and create experiences that will challenge and enrich the lives of the people of Christchurch and its visitors. The SCAPE biennials offer artists and curators who are outstanding in their field a pivotal career opportunity to extend their practice and create exceptional new visual artworks.
This exciting and rare opportunity, supported through funding from Creative New Zealand Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa, is for one New Zealand and one international curator. Once formed, this dynamic curatorial partnership will be responsible for reflecting Art & Industry‚s philosophical goal of pairing art with industry ˆ acknowledging and articulating this unique relationship while delivering a distinctive and impressive national/international outcome for SB06.
The curators will be responsible for building on the existing profile of the event locally, nationally and internationally through the development of an outstanding display of urban visual artworks concentrated over Christchurch‚s Cultural Precinct for 6 weeks ˆ running from mid September 2006.
Expressions are welcome from curator teams, consisting of one national and one international curator, but this is not a prerequisite as Art & Industry is happy to broker relationships between interested curators.
