THE DROMOCRATIC CONDITION:
Contemporary Cultures of Acceleration
An international, multi-disciplinary conference hosted by the School of
English, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March, 2005
Keynote speakers:
Douglas Kellner (UCLA, USA)
John Armitage (Northumbria, UK)
Theories of contemporary culture have foregrounded the significance of 'late capitalism' or 'post-Fordism' (Jameson; Harvey); simulation and
'hyper-reality' (Baudrillard); information technology and the 'inhuman'
(Lyotard); the 'panopticon' (Foucault); 'communicative action' (Habermas);
'desiring-production' and schizophrenia (Deleuze and Guattari); risk (Ulrich Beck); and the cyborg (Haraway).
An alternative theorisation - which intersects with these
perspectives, but diverges from them - views acceleration as the defining
feature of the contemporary era. The French cultural theorist Paul Virilio
has coined the term 'dromocracy' (from the Greek dromos: avenue or race
course) to characterise this position. Under Virilio's 'dromocratic' reading of history, scientific, technological, societal, military, and cultural change is propelled by the pursuit of ever-increasing speed. Our own era - with its fibre-optic cables, satellite-linked communications networks, supersonic aircraft, and cruise missiles - is, Virilio suggests, approaching the limits of acceleration, and teeters on the edge of the 'integral accident' - the true end of modernity.
This conference invites papers that explore any aspect of what the
social theorist John Armitage - re-orientating Lyotard's famous assessment
of the contemporary - has called the 'dromocratic condition'. What are the
key characteristics of the contemporary culture of acceleration? How has the
pursuit of speed impacted upon contemporary subjectivity, upon strategies of
warfare and terrorism, or upon experiences of space and time? How have
theorists, activists, writers, artists, and filmmakers responded to the
speed-up of contemporary life? Is there necessarily a connection between
speed and destruction, or can high-speed technologies serve a progressive or
radical agenda? Is speed truly, as Virilio has claimed, 'the location and
the law, the world's destiny and its destination', or do movements exist
that offer viable alternatives to the contemporary culture of acceleration?
The organisers envisage that a special issue of the journal
Cultural Politics:
http://www.bergpublishers.com/uk/culture/culture_about.htm
will result from the papers at the conference.
Please send proposals (250-300 words) for 20-minute papers to Paul
Crosthwaite at p.j.crosthwaite@ncl.ac.uk or School of English Literature,
Language, and Linguistics, Percy Building, University of Newcastle upon
Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, United Kingdom by 23 December 2004.
Updates and accommodation information will appear on the conference web site:

Announcement for a new project:
Euroscreen21projects: Video/Media Project 2005
Call for Entries: Deadline: November, 30, 2004
Digital Shorts: one minute
Theme: Point of View
Euroscreen21projects denotes a flexible European platform performed by Video/Media artists and culture institutions since 2003.
The concentration on geographical Europe takes up the current necissity in development policy: the promotion of dialogue and understanding among the various cultures.
Especially in times of an increasingly medialised world threatened by rising violence as well as the negative consequences of globalisation, the position of the individual or here as a focus, the artist’s point of view, seem to be of growing concern.
In 2005 the new Euroscreen21projects-DVD “Point of View” with digital short videos will be shown in museums, galleries and the world wide web.
Participanting artists and culture institutions who like to present this DVD in their countries are invited to extend the screening by own programs. The suggestion to present at other places is

ELSEWHERE, art processes re-invent Art contexts.
(Interpret the SPLACE thinking to itself)
Dear eyes right at origin,
Elsewhere Artist Collaborative, a conceptual artists space in Greensboro, NC, is seeking journeypeople to pursue artistic creations and criticism in a contextually interpreted and designed environment.
Participating in a residency-like program, Journeypeople will be provided access to a 12,000 sq. ft. converted thrift store (stuck in a locational palindrome). Artists are expected to integrate the plethora of 70 years of thrift resources (toys, furniture, books, clothing, fabric, etc. etc. etc.) or their experience at Elsewhere into the content (subject or object) of their work. The objects within the space do not permanently leave the space, providing for the exploration of the potential for a fixed but transforming set of objects. Elsewhere artists explore traditional and emerging media and media fusion, representational possibilities, and community/communication models.
Elsewhere’s non-commercial museum-type space is a constantly reflexive and evolving environment where artwork serves as dialogue and dialogue systems become artwork. Re-contextualized objects become the medium of expression and response between participants. Located in Greensboro, NC’s downtown, historic district, the experience of southern America offers a backdrop to Elsewhere’s conceptual, artistic and intellectual realm. Elsewhere houses a gallery/orientation center, press office, studio, kitchen, performance venue, library, fabric workshop—all installation pieces in themselves which serve as interactive environments that enable artists to comment on, discuss, and recreate traditional art, social, and cultural institutions. Artists are encouraged to redesign space and its accompaniments (objects) for a contextual artistic experiment that exposes process as art form. Elsewhere seeks innovative creators that are striving to apply their work and ideas to a large-s!
cale project that cultivates individual initiative within a community of makers.
Toys are people too.
Journeypeople are needed to engage projects: spatial development and construction, documentation via still and video photography, fashion design, interior design and architecture, graphic design, magazine and newspaper publishing run in the press office, archiving, research, educational programming and design, business initiatives, art administration, and artistic pursuits in traditional and emerging art forms. After participating in the community for a week, Journeypeople submit documentable proposals for independent or collaborative projects. Elsewhere provides a network of local artists and students to connect journeypeople with free or inexpensive housing options. Elsewhere offers affordable meals through a food co-op, artistic access to the seemingly infinite resources, customizable space within which to work, and involvement in a community of artists all speaking to and interacting within a post-modern theme. Journeypeople may also be involved in the larger conceptu!
al project that includes community interfacing programs and urban planning issues. While art objects must remain within the space and are subject to further conversion, artists have the opportunity to substantially build or augment a portfolio while exploring their media and contributing to an collaborative artistic endeavor.
Those interested in the residency-style program should contact George Scheer (Collaborative Director) and/or Stephanie Sherman (Conceptual Director/Casting Director) at wanderingzoo@mac.com or 336.549.5555. Internships and volunteer opportunities are also available. We will respond with a brief application process to gauge artistic synchronicity between the individual and project as a whole. Those interested in renting the resources for artistic productions or collaborations between Elsewhere and other organizations should also contact George. Elsewhere, a 501(c)3 organization, is funded in part by a grant from Greensboro’s United Arts Council. For more information, see www.homepage.mac.com/wanderingzoo.
