traditional cinema, linear and non-linear narrative image sequences, mobile

infra-red and Bluetooth connections. The key feature in each case is an
unusual and/or experimental use of technologically defined network

++NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work :
1)completed productions

"Early Adopters"
OPEN CALL (http://adelheidmers.org/3arts/opencall.htm)
Exhibition working title: "Early Adopters"
location: The Three Arts Club, Chicago, USA
dates: doors open September 15, 2005
reception: October 6, 2005
closing (with potential reception): October 27, 2005
1. Call for essays and other text contributions we can post, and other web based contributions we can link to, from artists and theorists who reside in cities worldwide, to contribute "reports on art audiences" from their locations.
2. We are also seeking laminated "poster presentations" from local artists or from others who don't mind to mail them to Chicago, 24"x18" (appr. 60cm x 45cm) to be displayed on long shelves along two gallery walls, for viewers to handle and/or for contributors who can be present at the gallery to talk about.
Project Description: For this exhibition during "Chicago Artist Month 2005", artists are asked to look back at their viewers. They are asked to show how they envision their local lay, amateur or connoisseur community to make use of and support them, to assess the immediate field they need to communicate within. Specifically, I am asking to investigate how citizens support or are desired to support visual art: as viewer, collector, sponsor, discussant, newspaper reader, volunteer, board member, co-creator,etc. I am envisioning work that deals with these subjects explicitly, for an exhibition that will have aspects of a symposium or lecture series, addressing (supporting, defying, expanding) the thesis that urbanites are more diverse, adventurous, daring and playful than their more conservative, rural, small town, suburban or exurban counterparts, but also need to be made more aware of the crucial role they play in sustaining the art community whose products and productions t
hey enjoy. This question is primarily inspired by the urban/rural split in the US election maps. For examples, see: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/
Would there be similar distributions in art audience maps?
In addition to the call for national and international reports and for posters, three artists who use diagramming as part of their current strategies have been invited to create more extensive works. I will contribute a map of the concept of this show, and four administrators/theorists have been invited to consider talks, discussions or lectures. This is a project by Adelheid Mers, on the invitation of gallery director Annie Morse.
Please contact me by email if you are interested in contributing, or can put me in touch with additional "correspondents" from other cities.
We are currently planning to report on this show at a symposium on artistic inquiry in Canada, in November.
I have set up a message board to help prepare for the show at http://adelheidmers.org/3/
very best regards,
Adelheid

Call for Attack of the PANTs Workshop
A DIY electronics workshop led by Lalya Gaye, Tobias "Speaker Dude" Good, and David McCallum, to make Portable Art Noise Things (PANTs). the PANTs are a contact mic connected to a self-powered speaker, allowing you to carry them anywhere and amplify the most annoying of small sounds for the benefit of the public. The speakers are made out of you favourite lunch box, cardboard boxes or whatever you would like to use.
Date: Sunday, February 20th
Cost: 100 kr (this is purely for materials)
Location: Big Love gallery, Tunnbindaregatan 21 (Kvilletorget)
No previous electronics experience required, we'll show you how to do it all!
The motivation behind this workshop is to create devices that can be
used in the HUGs jams that happen at big love every now and again.
Picture the gallery full of ten of these little monsters, it almost
makes me salivate just thinking about it...
The deadline for applying is Tuesday, February 15th. E-mail david mcdallum at d@mentalfloss.ca to express your unshakable commitment to our cause. No need to give us the money early, bring it to the workshop. Please do not cancel after the deadline as we will already have spent the 100 kr you said you would pay and will thus be 100 kr poorer, and we don't like poverty (ie. if you cancel, we are expecting you to still pay).
