Call for Proposals: "Out of the Box [Net.Art and the 'Real World']"
Deadline: April 1, 2003
No longer content with pure formalism and self-referentiality, and unwilling to be dismissed into the simple catagory of "graphic design", net.art is redefining itself in the realm of social critique and commentary. The old elements of hyperlink, the embedded images and sounds, the database and the live stream all remain in place, as do the digital pranks, parasitic spoofs and deliberate 'errors' which gave early net.art its timeliness and humour. Their scope, however, has been refocused and their use redefined in recent years to a razor-sharp critique of technological "progress", globalization, and the ever-present machinery of surveillance and control which the internet has helped to usher in.
Working from this position, the "Out of the Box" theme for the Impakt Web Gallery seeks to examine how technology and the internet manifest themselves on the human level by asking such questions as; where do such on-line concepts as navigation, avatar, or algorithm find their place in the "real world" outside the computer? And, similarly, how can such physical activities such as performance, protest, or love maintain their "real-ness" in a virtual environment? In short, we seek the point where real life affects the internet,and (more importantly) where the internet affects real life.
Impakt will commission two projects for this theme. The accepted commissions for this project will be invited to produce a hybrid project involving a website and a live, "real-world" intervention [performance, action, prank, interface, etc] which will take place during the Impakt Festival this coming spring, between June 3 and 10. Depending on the submissions we receive, we may invite the accepted artists to collaborate on a single project.
Because this is a commission for new works, previously exhibited projects will be immediately disqualified. However, as we realize the timeframe is somewhat short, we are happy to support projects already under development with an eye towards their premiere at the Impakt Festival 2003. Applicants are urged to submit their proposals early so that the editorial team has a chance to go over them and contact with artist with questions and suggestions.
Final Deadline: April 1, 2003
Launch: June, 2003
*Proposals must be written in English, and the project accessible to an English-speaking audience
*They should include a project description:
---description of content
---technical implementation
---time line
---relation to the theme
*They should also include an artist[s] biography:
---short CV
---documentation + URLs of previous projects
*Previously exhibited projects will be immediately disqualified
Impakt will provide webhosting for the project for 1 year, and pay a fee to the accepted artist[s] of EURO 1000. The winning commission[s] will also be invited to submit a budget for the live event which will take place during the festival.

Hemispheric Institute‚s Annual „encuentro‰ (festival/conference), July 11-20, NYC
The Hemispheric Institute is having its annual 'encuentro' (festival/conference) in New York this year between July 11-20th. People all over the Americas (activists, artists, and scholars) get togther to think about performance and social change. We look at performance, performance art, performance activism, etc and we have nightly performances by artists from around the Americas. We've been a bit Latin America focused because the three past encuentros have been in Barzil, Mexico, and Peru-- but this is an Americas project, so we want people from the US to be involved. Any suggestions? Here's a description:
The Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics will hold its 4th Annual Encuentro entitled "Spectacles of Religiosities" in New York City from July 11-19, 2003. New York University and Tisch School of the Arts will host the seminar.
The 300 dollar registration fee that includes all performances, workshops, seminars, banquets, coffees, etc. etc. for the 10 days and that also makes people eligible for very low cost housing (we have reserved NYU dorms: 200 for the 10 days)-- so for 500, you have an incredible 10 days with some of the most interesting artists, activists and scholars in the Americas-- plus a certificate of participation from the Hemispheric Institute.
The encuentro is an intensive nine-day exploration of the relation between performance and politics in the Américas, featuring lectures, performance workshops, participant mini seminars, and performances. It seeks to bring together students, scholars, artists and activists to develop models of intellectual and artistic inquiry that are specially suited to the study of social and political formations in the Américas.
The encuentro explores the potential offered by the emerging inter-disciplinary field of Performance Studies to provide new means through which to understand the relation between expressive culture (broadly construed as performance) and political movements, identities, and social norms. The encuentro curriculum draws on the combined expertise of leading faculty and artists trained in performance and cultural studies from throughout the Americas. website: http://hemi.nyu.ed 'seminar' section
