I am trying to get a project together focusing on younger internet and new media artists.
Are there any new media artists under the age of 25 on this list, or does anyone on this list know of any such artists? If you are, or know of anyone I should talk to, please email me at eryk@maine.rr.com [and hopefully relatively soon- I don't need a resume or anything, just an email saying hello, some contact information and that you are interested, maybe a link or a short introduction. If you just know someone you'd like to recommend to me, just send a link, thier name, and an email address if you have it handy.] If someone could forward this to rhizome and any other interested lists, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

SITESTREET JOURNAL
http://www.sidestreet.org/sitestreet/
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
SiteStreet is a quarterly on-line journal committed to providing a forum for the presentation of innovative writing and web-based projects that foster a critical dialogue on art and culture.
We are always accepting submissions and proposals for future issues. However, we are currently especially interested in papers on the subject of chemistry and creativity, or any topic on the relationship between biological or perceptual processes and visual arts.
The editors welcome thinkers from across disciplines to challenge existing models of cultural production. We are interested in adventurous takes on popular subjects or conventional takes on obscure subjects - as well as anything in between. We strive to support a broad range of participants and perspectives.
In addition to presenting critical theory, creative writing and contemporary art within a cultural context, SiteStreet serves to facilitate research by creating an on-line database and provides contributors with an opportunity to preserve their work in the public domain.
Attached to this email are the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES for SiteStreet. Please read carefully before submitting. We do not print poetry.
We thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Arthur Aghajanian & Eric Beltz
Co-Editors, SiteStreet

Generation Wired: Youth and Technology
When a society has a huge technological boom, it is interpreted with a utopian mind-set. Youth are often times the impetus for the furthering of such technology. Right now the boom has established expansive networks, increased access to cheap computers and high-speed broadband connections to the Internet. Youth have become a niche market targeted as the group with the most disposable income with the rationale that technology improves their lives or entertains them.
Communications technology has pushed forward the biggest rush of marketing. It collects information through online surveys, cookies and other devices that cull increasingly broader scopes of information about how people (especially the coveted demographics) spend their time and money.
Conversely, with access to relatively inexpensive computers and video cameras, youth have found new ways to develop language visually as well as traditionally.
We are looking for youth produced media that demonstrates and interrogates how technology has changed they way that young people communicate, form communities, and express themselves. Submitted works should explore how access to vast amounts of information, expansive communications networks (i.e. cellular phone culture, the Internet, chat rooms) and gaming (i.e. online gaming communities like Everquest or Shockwave,com and gaming systems) have influenced young people’s worldview (i.e. how they choose to spend their money and how it has affected leisure time). Work that interrogates how youth feel about the pervasive market research performed on them and directed towards them. We are looking for works that can create a dialogue between critical analysis of and practical experiences with technology.
Please submit media works that deal with these themes however obliquely. We would like to get a wide variety of work to flesh out a dynamic program.
Preview format 1/2” NTSC VHS, CD-Roms, URL’s
Screening format MiniDV NTSC, CD-Roms, URL’s
Work must be produced by youth under the age of 21 years old.
Deadline for submission: Postmarked by February 15, 2003
Screening will be held in conjunction with Version 03 in Chicago March 27-30 2003.

YORK UNIVERSITY
Fine Arts Cultural Studies
Contractually Limited Appointment
The Fine Arts Cultural Studies Programme (FACS) of York University
invites applications for a two-year Contractually Limited Appointment
effective July 1, 2003. Located within the Faculty of Fine Arts, the
Programme considers the fine, performing and new media arts from various
interdisciplinary perspectives situated within a range of
critically-based and broader cultural frameworks. FACS courses are not
limited by discipline: instead they are constructed to examine in
different ways the concept of interdisciplinarity at a time when
leading-edge arts and cultural theory and practice is increasingly
orienting itself in this direction. For the FACS curriculum, please
visit www.yorku.ca/finearts/cs/courscs.htm.
The Programme seeks applicants with an expertise in the study of
performance in its broadest sense, particularly as it has evolved
through new media theory and practice. The ability to contextualize
performance as an interdisciplinary activity and to consider it in light
of the concerns of Cultural Studies are especially welcome. In addition,
a strong background in the arts and some knowledge of the methodologies
of interdisciplinarity are required. It will be an advantage if
applicants have experience teaching large lecture classes and a
demonstrated commitment to participating in alternative course delivery
systems. While this is primarily a studies position, the successful
candidate may have an opportunity to teach a practicum course in the new
media lab.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree or be near completion, a
research agenda and evidence of excellence in teaching.
Qualified individuals should send a letter which identifies their
research and teaching interests indicating how these might be compatible
with the Fine Arts Cultural Studies Programme, together with a
curriculum vitae, and the names of three referees. Applications should
be directed to: Leslie Korrick, Coordinator, Fine Arts Cultural Studies,
279 Winters College, York University, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, Ontario
M3J 1P3. Application deadline: 15 February 2003.
York University has an Affirmative Action Program with respect to its
faculty and librarian appointments. The designated groups are: women,
racial/visible minorities, persons with disabilities and aboriginal
peoples. Persons in these groups must self-identify in order to
participate in the Affirmative Action Program. The Fine Arts Cultural
Studies Programme welcomes applications from persons in these groups.
The Affirmative Action Program can be found on York‚s website at or a
copy can be obtained by calling the affirmative action office at
416-736-5713. Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be
considered first for this position. All positions at York University are
subject to budgetary approval.

in cooperation with the City of Dresden, Germany.

A choice of the entries will be presented during the international
CYNETart festival expected to be held in May 2004. The organisers will

Call for Papers
K¸nstlerhaus Schlofl Balmoral is an institution of the Foundation for Culture in Rheinland-Pfalz. It promotes contemporary art through the allocation of residential fellowships to international artists. The K¸nstlerhaus further aims to reach the public through events such as lectures, seminars, concerts and exhibitions.
From May 30th to June 1st 2003 K¸nstlerhaus Schlofl Balmoral and the Institut f¸r Kunstwissenschaften der Universit‰t Koblenz-Landau, Campus Koblenz are planning an international Media Arts Conference, the Bad Emser Medienkunsttage (BEM). Examining the topic of art and media, the conference focusses on the altering influence which contemporary media culture has exerted on art and society and the question whether new technologies can bring about new subjects and ideas. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this event will be open to the public.
The aim of the conference is to create a platform for young academics, researchers and media artists to introduce their views on contemporary art to a broader academic audience and to promote the discussion between academics and artists.
The speakers will be selected by a call for papers; the conference lectures and abstracts together with other interesting proposals submitted will be published in print and/or online.
Parallel to the conference K¸nstlerhaus Schlofl Balmoral shows the exhibition ”art bytes”. This show presents works at the interface between new technologies and art, documenting the dissolution of borderlines between new media and traditional art forms.
The main focus of the Media Arts Conference Bad Ems is on
1. Who ‘owns’ the new virtual rooms? What would an adequate
presentation look like in museums, galleries, public spaces or at home?
2. To what extent do new technologies influence our conception of art?
What effects do they have on artistic content and form?
How are these new kinds of art to be judged in terms of quality?
3. How does the use of new technologies change our perception?
4. What effect does this have on society?
Researchers who would like to give a paper at the Media Arts Conference Bad Ems should send a short abstract (max. 1 page) about the proposed topic, a short curriculum vitae and a bibliography
by 10 March 2003 to:
Dr. DaniËle Perrier
K¸nstlerhaus Schlofl Balmoral
Villenpromenade 11
D-56130 Bad Ems

Atlas of Nordic computer based and high technological art
- with European and International references.
CALL FOR INFORMATION
A Nordic survey on computer based and high technological art.
Electrohype has received funding to perform a Nordic survey on artists, institutions and other resources in the field of computer based and high technological art. The project will also include some European, outside the Nordic countries, and overseas elements that are important to the development of this art genre in the Nordic countries.
The goal of the project is to compile a guide for those who want to learn more about new art made with new technology and help people working in this field to get a better overview of other resources. We will not gather traditional statistics regarding funding, members etc but on the other hand gather info that are useful for orientation and networking. We will also include examples on art works and artist presentations to help draw a picture of the genre for those who are new to it.
This guide will be published in two versions, one electronic that will be updated, and one paper version that will be published only once. There will also be a support web site including links and info updates for both versions.
The survey will be carried out by travels, mail contact and interviews during the period February 2003 to February 2004. We will start gathering information and then select artists and institutions to visit or interview.
So if you think you should be included in this guide please send us a short description of yourself or the group/institution you are part of together with contact info. Please send us a short description on "first contact" max a half page and do not send any attached images etc.
Sending cd-roms etc via snail mail is ok but we will not be able to return any material.
We will also appreciate info on other artists and/or resources that you think we should contact, please redistribute and post this mail.
