Zlatko Kopljar, an artist from Zagreb, Croatia and 2003 recipient of a
Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art award, has just arrived in NYC for a three-month residency to produce and present a new performance art and video piece.
Zlatko wishes to edit a 5-minute video in conjunction with a video
technologist/programmer to create a "plug-in/filter" for an effect which will apply a filter based on Zlatko's DNA profile to augment and
rearrange the colors and pixels of each video frame. The goal is to
create an abstract video image based on his unique DNA sequence.
If you are interested in this collaboration or know of someone who would be, please contact me at andrew@fluxartspace.org or Zlatko at zlatko.kopljar@zg.hinet.hr

Futhermore collaboration between various cultural disciplines and sectors will be explored, such as education, social and community organizations, commercial partners, and scientific institutions.
Since you are involved in interesting new and evolving projects and ongoing r&d, I would be very pleased if you would take a look at the call for proposals (attachment), and if you would consider participation of your organization in the E-culture Fair, or if you could pass it on to others you know.

Call for Proposals - E-Culture Fair II - October 23 and 24, 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadline for proposals: April 15, 2003
--E-Culture Fair II--
Virtual Platform is organizing the second E-Culture Fair on October 23 and 24, 2003.
This follow-up to the highly successful E-Culture Fair 2000 will present the most recent international developments from the new media/contemporary culture interface to a large, wide-ranging audience. We aim to show the most varied possible range of developments from the borders between media and art, the creative industries, science, and commerce, placed in a broad social context.
--Working conference--
Alongside the fair, a working conference for professionals in the field (artists, representatives of cultural organizations and media labs, scientists, critics, academics and policy makers), will act as a focal point for sharing expertise. A goal-oriented choice of inspiring examples and stimulating questions will help launch discussion and reflection in small working groups.
--What kind of projects?--
We are looking for creative and innovative applications that transcend and challenge ordinary ICT products and ICT use. E-Culture Fair II will focus specifically on the extensive research and development that precedes the realization of innovative new-media applications. The emphasis will be on new products, projects and work-in-progress, and on the national and international collaboration between various cultural disciplines and sectors such as education, social and community organizations, commercial partners, and scientific institutions.
--In what form should projects be?--
About 40 stands for project presentations will be set up, spread between the Melkweg, Paradiso and the Balie, in the city centre, the cultural and entertainment heart of Amsterdam. In addition, there will be space for larger interactive installations, performances, screenings and network projects, for which various locations and spaces will be provided.
--Themes--
The projects can be in any of the following areas. Note that these themes (working titles only) are to serve as general indications, and should not be seen as restricting submissions.
-'Mixed reality': the floating boundary between physical space and media.
-'Disappearing computer': 'pervasive computing', smart objects, wearables, wireless networks.
-'New media and performance': new forms of interactivity and public participation in dance, 'live art', theatre and music, research into new interfaces (including body-based interfaces), and ways in which generated data can be used (data-mapping).
-'High bandwidth, streaming, hybrid media': shared online environments, new forms of interaction, linking of live events in various locations.
-'Play, learn, experience': the game as a form of expression, computer animation, special effects, new narrative structures, new educational applications.
--Procedure and selection--
Proposals for projects and presentations should be sent by April 15 to: eculturefair2@virtueelplatform.nl
The accompanying form is intended for submissions. The form is also available online at: www.virtueelplatform.nl
In the month following April 15, Virtual Platform and the editorial board of the E-Culture Fair will make a selection from the project proposals submitted. The selection will be announced no later than May 15. We will contact the successful entrants.
