exStream Residency Program: call for projects

V2_Lab is currently seeking for European artists and software developers interested in participating in a residency program in the context of the exStream project starting in the beginning of 2004.
exStream is an interactive multimedia artistic exchange, the
project aims to foster collaboration among European and Canadian artists from different audiovisual and new media disciplines.

The artists will be selected by V2_ according a call for proposals and an introduction workshop, which will be organized by V2_ in collaboration with exStream in Rotterdam the 27th and 28th of November 2003.

The European partner organizations act as agents from the exStream network to scout young talented artists in various regions of Europe. They will investigate their networks and help the artists to write their proposal and provide artists facilities throughout the year when their project has been selected.

Selection process

Ten artists will be selected to participate in the workshop, on the 27th and 28th November 2003, organized by V2_Organisation in Rotterdam. For this workshop travel and lodging will be covered.
After the workshop five of these artists will be selected for a 1 month residency with one of the four partner organizations of exStream , starting between January and June 2004. The selected artists will receive a fee of 2000,- Euro each for lodging and travel costs.

Details

All interested artists / software developers please submit the following information in the proposal form (PDF) :

The exStream residency program takes place at four organizations:
Playlist European Residencies (P.E.R.) at V2_Lab
(Rotterdam, the Netherlands)
P.E.R. focuses on the co-creation of interactive audiovisual content and the development of tools for future projects. P.E.R. uses the high speed network as an environment for the production and public display of a collaborative video work created by ten high-profile Canadian and European media artists. P.E.R. also includes the
development of a new digital software toolset that will support the work's creation and display. We plan to work with a series of online events as well as physical meetings and residencies on both continents. Media artists from Canada and Europe will co-develop the content 'conversationally'.
Each artist begins by creating short video and audio 'assets' which they post to a shared online database. A web interface allows them to segue their own and other artist's media files seamlessly, in any order. Artists play with the content and order, or initiate new tangential or nested segments stemming from the original linear path in response to the works created by other artists. All can continuously add, subtract and re-edit their material to articulate new directions or continue
existing ones. Through the residency program, P.E.R. would
like to enable groups of artists and software developers to work together to develop concrete art projects for streaming media or open source streaming tools. These residencies will also enable the collaborators to test, research and resolve creative issues relating to the use of these applications and then to apply this knowledge to develop their full artistic work for presentation.

exStream residencies at Bootlab (Berlin, Germany)
Bootlab offers a committed crew of highly skilled media practitioners with a range of interests from copyright, design, open source, and streaming. Residents enjoy the full benefits of members which means access to people,
workshops, screenings, and a great entrypoint to Berlin's cultural life.
reboot.fm, an open source fm radio broadcast offers access to large audience and the chance to participate in a larger network of audio producers. Technical infrastructure is limited, so an ad hoc attitude is a plus.

exStream residencies at InterSpace (Sofia, Bulgaria)
InterSpace will support artists in residency in production of art installations, streamings and performances, which demonstrate their artistic usage. InterSpace is also interested in inviting technicians who have developed
solutions that they can present to Bulgarian artists and work collaboratively.
These projects should serve as a core for attracting artists and accumulating a few quality projects, which will be presented later in an exhibition.
InterSpace will offer to exStream residents a working space, technical equipment and assistance from a team of programmers and system administrators working mostly with open source and Linux.
InterSpace offers the following facilities: video editing workstations, wireless connections,
workstations with Linux /ISLD - InterSpace Linux distribution, Mandrake, Suse, workstation with Windows XP, web server and router with FreeBSD

exStream residencies at Hull Time Based Arts (Hull, United Kingdom)
Hull Time Based Arts will host residencies for video and streaming production.
Hull Time Based Arts offers the following facilities: video editing and post-production facilities (AVID9000, Final Cut Pro etc.), audio editing and post-production (ProTools), interactive television (DSL, Settopbox, SMIL)

Previous Incubations
Incubation 2000: http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/incubation/archive/2000/index.htm
Incubation 2002: http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/incubation/index2002.cfm

Why a Symposium?
Those familiar with Incubation will notice that we are now a Symposium rather than a Conference. This heralds a subtle shift, not in identity, but in the way we promote the event. Incubation has always been very practice-based and in 2004 it will be even more so. Thanks to Arts Council England (http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/) we are offering a total of 30 bursaries to enable those who cannot obtain funding elsewhere to attend the full residential conference at no charge. We expect this injection of financial support to provide a greater balance of academia and professional writers and artists.

Themes
The purpose of Incubation has always been to provide ideas, stimulus and motivation; information and debate for the international new media writing community. We aim to encourage interdisciplinary creativity and cross-fertilisation, and we are especially interested in introducing the form to writers for whom it is a new idea as well as helping practitioners to share and expand their work.
The themes for 2004 are:
A. Developing a new form: contemporary textual works in new media and performance
B. The practice of making: creative and professional practice; online teaching and learning.
C. Critique and criteria: criticism, reviewing, defining, and archiving of new media writing.

TYPES OF PROPOSALS SOUGHT
Proposals will not be considered unless they are submitted via the online form. When completing the form please indicate which of the above themes (A, B or C) your proposal relates to.

Guidelines
In order to make the field as open as possible we have kept guidelines to a minimum but as a rough guide, we encourage lively debate and provocative thinking about:
*recent work by both new and established writers and artists. You may simply show/perform the work, or accompany it with a practice-based commentary or formal critique
*explorations of the ways in which new media works are made, discussed, reviewed, categorised and archived
*explorations of online teaching and learning in a creative context
*surprise us!

1. Presentations - 20 minutes
We invite proposals for 20 minute presentations which we will group together in panels of three with an added 30 minutes for questions. You are also welcome to organise and propose your own panel.

2. Performances
A number of 20 minute presentation periods may be used for short performances / presentations of work. In addition a number of longer evening sessions may be available. We particularly welcome performances which extend limits and cross boundaries. Proposals should describe the performance and specify technical support required, set-up times, audience profiles, length of performance, etc.

3. Workshops - 1 hour
There will be space for a limited number of hands-on workshops. We are interested in workshops with a specific technical or artistic focus. Please indicate whether you require a PC resource room or a regular classroom.

4. Position Papers/Posters - 10-15 minutes
There will be a limited number of 1 hour sessions beginning with the presentation of a short position paper which will have been put online before the conference and which will act as a stimulus for discussion. These sessions will be chaired and a scribe will be provided. We invite contentious papers with scope for energetic debate. The online ëpaperí may be in text or any new media format which will be viewable at the discussion and should be submitted by 1st June 2004.

Details of the technology available in our presentation rooms will be available on the website from 10th October 2003: http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/incubation/

ADDITIONAL COLLABORATIVE PROJECT FOR NEW MEDIA / VIDEO / SOUND ARTISTS
We hope to obtain funding for Online/Offline, a collaborative project connecting three new media writers with three video artists and a sound artist to work together online to create an original piece to be premiered at Incubation. Application time for this is likely to be short - current planning is to invite applications from new media writers during the month of December only. The video artists and sound artist will be based in the East Midlands and will be separately appointed.

DIGITALES - 3rd edition
CALL FOR PAPERS/TALES

Tell the stories * of women and technologies


Rather than falling into techno-phobia or becoming
techno-fans,
"Digitales"
has always approached digital techniques with a
critical and creative
eye.
They exist, they are here, so we might as well use
them, understand
them and
make use of them in a way that will serve our
objectives.

We cannot ignore the history of information
technologies, their
mythology,
symbols, heroines, male or female. The history and
mythology being
transmitted still influences the way they are written
and taught. One
often
hears that girls are not interested in technical
things because they
are too
cold and too systematic, but what about telling them
that one of the
pioneers of computing wanted to create a machine that
would enable him
to
contact his lost loved one and that he died like Snow
White after
eating a
poisoned apple : isn't that a beautiful fairy tale?

Understanding the languages and structures in this new
grammar, and
maybe
even imagining others. How these standards and
structures have been
able to
exclude or involve certain types of people, because of
certain types of
reflexes and expectations, but by discovering that,
also discover the
possibility of re-writing and inventing processes.

We would like to receive stories and herstories about
what we call the
"founding myths": Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Grace
Hopper, etc.

And also tales of/about women and techniques

* Send a ' fragment ' or a whole story in words and/or
images on one A4
format page; RTF or JPG files, 300k maximum, to be
uploaded ONLY on
http://www.digitales-online.org/tales

Deadline : 15 November 2003
