OX: A Crash Course on Loving Calgary with Sharon Stevens

 

EMMEDIA's Artist In Residene Program presents
OX: A  Crash Course on Loving Calgary

An Aural Lovefest on Saturday, Feb 13, 2010 @ 7-9PM
Admission is FREE

Schedule:
noon - website launch: www.essense.ca/ox
7PM - party starts
7:30PM screening
8PM - listening & recording party

JOIN THE CALGARY LOVEFEST!

OX: A Crash Course on Loving Calgary is a positive, participatory action to claim what we love about Calgary! A place, a feeling, a song, a building, a street corner, a memory, a recovery –stories about loving Calgary.

OX is a project to motivate and mobilize people to go out and capture the love of our City using participatory media art. It is an interactive, community mapping, up-loadable audio tour that will showcase Calgary OX spots as seen through the eyes and ears of artists, activists and Calgarians. Marking the spot with a flag designed with the OX logo, citizens are recording in some way – audio/video/stills/Polaroid – their ideal spot of Calgary.

For the past year, Stevens has been preparing the OX Calgary project in conjunction with EMMEDIA Gallery and Production Society to accentuate the positives of Calgary. She has recorded and filmed Calgarians from all facets of the City’s demographic talking about what they love about Calgary.  This includes an alderman, youth, shop owners, construction workers, writers, artists, homemakers and retirees, among others.

Stevens will be inviting Mayor Bronconnier to pronounce his love of the city when the project is publicly unveiled Saturday, February 13. The OX Calgary website (www.essense.ca/ox) will launch at noon that day so you can download an OX tour of your choice and walk, ride, or drive to EMMEDIA to share your love at a listening and recording party. The evening will also feature a 10-minute screening of OX: A Crash Course on Loving Calgary.

Join Stevens and guests to hear about the love other Calgarians express for their city while recording your own story by taking a photo, linking it to Google maps and uploading your love offering to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

This event is also a fundraiser for the Spirit of Helen Award through the Alberta Media Arts Alliance (AMAAS). www.amaas.ca

EMMEDIA and "Eye Level" presents: Night Equals Day


 

NIGHT EQUALS DAY

Canada 2008, 30 min, 35mm, Dir: Adrian Blackwell

Presented by EMMEDIA, in Conjunction with the exhibition ‘Eye Level’ curated by Tomas Jonsson

Eye Level
Adrian Blackwell, Ossi Kajas, Rufina Wu & Stefan Canham

Curated by Tomas Jonsson

Pith Gallery - 1018 9th Avenue S.E.
February 1 – March 16, 2010
Opening Reception: February 6th 1 - 4 PM

Filmed in Toronto's Regent Park from sunrise to sunset on October fourth 2008, Night Equals Day was shot at one frame per second with a 35mm film camera mounted on a motorized tripod head, rotating one tenth of a degree every second, or one full rotation each hour, capturing twelve daylight panoramas from 7:00am until 7:00pm. The installation is governed by a simple mathematical logic of shutter and pan speeds and the symmetrical relationship between the time of filming and the time of projection. It is intended to raise questions about the temporality of urban renewal and the equality between successive forms of the city’s fabric. The film rotates at the intersection of Sackville and Oak Streets, at the boundary between the neighbourhood built in the 1950s and the construction site of the new buildings which are replacing it.

FEATURED EM WORKSHOP: Visual Storytelling with Anne Marie Nakagawa



VISUAL STORYTELLING

Scriptwriting workshop

DATE AND TIME:

Feb 6, 2010 @ 10AM – 4PM

COST:

Members: $85 + GST

Non-members: $105 + GST

This workshop introduces and explores the art of visual storytelling – the foundation of every great project.  It will take you from the inception and visualization of story to the shooting and editing of it. Topics include an overview of scriptwriting structure and how to construct a shotlist; demonstrations of the principles of composition, framing, staging, and dramatic effect; strategies for making your stories clear, compelling and engaging; and a comprehensive breakdown of techniques which allow your audience to relate to your characters' world.  Techniques learned in Visual Storytelling can be applied to all genres of media production, including narrative, documentary, experimental, and performance-based projects.



About Anne Marie Nakagawa:


Anne Marie Nakagawa is a Calgary-based writer and director. She has written and directed several long-form documentary films, shorts as well as numerous experimental videos that have played at festivals and galleries worldwide. She was the recently artist-in-residence at EMMEDIA, and completed her dramatic short Sandcastle which screened in the fall of 2009. Nakagawa’s documentary Between: Living in the Hyphen, a National Film Board of Canada production, premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival in 2005 and went on to win an Alberta Motion Picture Industry Association Award, a Golden Sheaf Award at the Yorkton Film Festival and a Bronze Plaque at the Columbus International Film and Video Festival. In 2007, Between was broadcast on the Documentary Channel after being selected in 2006 to launch Sense of Belonging, the United Nation’s Association of Canada’s national initiative to combat racism and stereotype. In 2008, Between was also screened at the National Archives of Canada in collaboration with the Department of Canadian Heritage and Asian Heritage Month.

Ms. Nakagawa has several projects in development including the feature screenplay, Realm of One, which was awarded an Alberta Foundation for the Arts Grant. Realm of One was workshopped at Women In the Director’s Chair 2008 with Mentor Director Donna Deitch, where Ms. Nakagawa was a director participant. Simultaneously, she is researching a feature-length documentary entitled Point of Return that examines how Western society’s relationship to nature affects our current social, economic and spiritual disconnection. This project received Canada Council for the Arts funding, taking Ms. Nakagawa to the UK this 2008 to interview noted author, green philosopher and ex- Jain monk Satish Kumar. Point of Return was also selected for the Art of Documentary 2008 workshop with the Praxis Centre for Screenwriters with Mentor Directors Jennifer Baichwal and Connie Field.

September 16 - October 2, 2011

The Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area (CAFKA) is a unique, artist run, biennial visual art event in the City of Kitchener and Regional Municipality of Waterloo, in Ontario, Canada. CAFKA takes art out of the gallery and places it in civic spaces to engage the public and create new audiences for contemporary art.

CAFKA was born out of the desire of the local artist community to bring contemporary art to Kitchener’s downtown. As it has grown it has attracted interest from across Canada and internationally, with a history of exhibiting both emerging and established artists from around the world. Originally attached to the Kitchener City Hall, the event has moved outward to include storefronts, sidewalks, warehouses, concourses and parks in the city and has expanded to include our neighbouring municipalities. Always rooted in the community, CAFKA seeks artists who are able to respond to the specific features of the local urban landscape and culture as sites of critique and reflection from a global perspective.

CAFKA is inviting proposals for new or existing works that engage the public spaces in the Region of Waterloo. Works in all media will be considered including sculpture, performance, video, audio, installation, photography, painting, drawing and digital media. Video artists are also invited to submit single channel work to be considered for inclusion in our ongoing series of screenings.

Artist Fees paid for Visual and Media Art Projects: CAD $2,000, which is intended to cover all aspects of production & installation including materials and transportation. Wherever possible CAFKA will work with artists to source the donation of materials to help offset production costs. Video and one-time performance fees paid in accordance with CARFAC (Canadian Artists’ Representation/le Front des Artistes Canadiens).

We encourage artists to use the online application, however a printable version of this form is available on our web site: www.cafka.org

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Artist in Residence Program at Studio XX (Montreal)

Studio XX is currently accepting submissions for its Artist in Residence Program. 

Deadline for 2010-2011 : *** February 15, 2010 ***

Selected projects are announced in April of each year.

Studio XX's Residency Program was created in keeping with the diversity of approaches that have been brought about by new and multiple methodologies and processes being practiced by artists working with new media and the Web as creative platforms. Residencies are offered each year through three major axes identified below. This offers a supportive context within which Québécois and Canadian women artists may conceptualize and create, and which can adequately accommodate the evolving realities of contemporary networked practices.

Residency Program

Three eight (8) week residencies are offered per year.
In 2009-2010, the Studio's annual theme is resistance. However, all themes are eligible for consideration. We favour projects taking into account the Studio's orientation and commitment to open source software.

Artists may orient their submissions towards one of the following axes:

The Matricules Project Residency

This residency is centered around the use Studio XX's archives as source material for an artwork. Matricules, one of the world's largest archives of women's digital artworks, allows the Studio to post all of its archival material to date online. It is at once an image bank and a repository of all of the Studio's writings and documentary footage. All of the original source material is also available at the Studio.

The Matricules Project comprises more than 3400 images files, sounds, videos, written critical texts and press releases documenting all our artistic  streams: The Wired Women Salons, The Artist Residencies, Co-productions and Collaborations, Projects and Special Events, training workshops, the HTMlles Festival, XX Files Radio interviews and .dpi articles. The Matricules Project database allows the user to cross-reference individual artists, events and documents, switching from one event to another. Matricules' main interface offers an image table of contents by event type and by month, providing an historical trajectory of the Studio's activities.

This innovative prototype was developed with Drupal Content Management System (CMS): an open source tool for Web site creation.    [http://studioxx.org/en/matricules]

Virtual Residency

In response to a growing demand by women artists working outside of the Montreal region wishing to explore the different possibilities of on-line and/or networked collaborations, Studio XX is in the process of elaborating the mechanics of Virtual Residencies in order to facilitate the creation of works via other networks.

Open Residency

Open and self-directed, these residencies offer access to women artists wishing to deepen the experimentation phase of projects they are currently developing.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Studio XX favours interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes projects created or directed by women artists or collectives working in collaboration with other professionals. This axis responds to the growing number of trans-disciplinary projects and their inherent technological challenges and complexities. Selected projects must be undertaken using the Studio's available resources (equipment, technical knowledge, financial resources).

All submissions are reviewed by a Selection Committee. Selection of applicants is also based on at least two out of the three following criteria:

Offering significant support and at an important point of the artist's development
Resonant with Studio XX's priorities in terms of technical experimentation
Relevant, captivating expression of theoretical, political and/or social engagement

Residencies are eight weeks in length. For accepted proposals, Studio XX offers:

$2000 to be divided as an Artist Fee and/or towards up to 45 hours of instruction/technical support.
Access to the Studio's equipment and Lab ($3335 rental value)
Possibility of taking any of the Studio's workshops ($200-300 value)
Distinct working space for the artist and her instructor

Studio XX will disseminate the artist's project on its Web site, with an artist's presentation to be given within its Femmes br@nchées Salon Series in the year following completion of the project. For participants working from afar, the presentation will take place on-line via streaming or chat. Residencies do not include travel costs, accommodation and per diem, and the artist is responsible for her living arrangements while in Montreal.

To submit a residency proposal - Online registration :
http://www.studioxx.org/node/add/residence-form


Co-Production Program

Throughout the year, Studio XX accepts co-production proposals from artists as well as from collectives and artist-organizations. Emerging and experienced artists working with new technologies and curators are invited to submit project ideas including technical specifications.

The Studio provides a Linux Lab and iMacs, video an digital audio resources. Projects are selected based on quality, the availability of the lab and technical requirements. Co-productions carried out at Studio XX demand full autonomy from the artists on both a conceptual and technical level. These residencies require autonomy on the conceptual and technical level but if necessary, the Studio can provide personalized technical support at the hourly rate of $25. The projects can stretch over a three-month period.

During the residency, artists can have access to Studio XX's computer, video and digital audio equipment. They will also have access to available space on one of the large bandwidth servers - ideal for network experiments and Webcasting - and to a dispatcher for wireless Internet connections. It will be necessary to provide a fixed schedule and to book time in the lab.

It is possible for the Studio to cover certain expenses for co-productions, such as training fees. The productions and co-productions are not housed on our web site but we do direct the artists towards servers that can accommodate their work. Studio XX actively seeks to program artworks produced within the co-productions at events as the Femmes br@nchées Salon series.

INTERNATIONAL CALLS

NY, USA
2010

Triple Canopy
Call for proposals

from artists, writers, and researchers.
canopycanopycanopy.com/commissions

/Triple Canopy/ is an online magazine that works collectively with writers, artists, researchers and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage
them, both online and in the world at large. We are pleased to announce our first call for proposals. In the coming months we will be commissioning ten projects spanning the five areas outlined below—original research, new-media journalism, public programming, Internet-specific artwork, and critical dialogues—to be published in the magazine and presented before live audiences in the next year.

This first round of commissions is supported in part by a generous grant from the Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston. Commissions will be accompanied by a modest honorarium, the amount of which will reflect the scope of the project and the cost of its development.

*Project areas*

*Research Work*
/Research Work/ was established to facilitate the creation of research projects that are produced outside academia, for a general audience; employ Internet-specific methods of presentation; and serve a public best reached by making the work available for free online.

*Internet as Material*
/Internet as Material/ was established to support emerging and mid-career artists who have never before made work specifically for the Web in the production of an online project. These projects further Triple Canopy's mission by utilizing the Internet—which is too often understood as a channel for the transfer of information—as a medium for the development of artworks that actively engage readers.

*Thinking Through Images*
/Thinking Through Images/ was established to foster conversations about images and videos of cultural, political, and social relevance, between artists, writers, researchers, and other cultural practitioners working in different fields. The program aims to facilitate close readings of popular media and fine art—from nineteenth-century paintings to Internet memes to documentation of current events—that consider these cultural products in a common context.

*New Media Reporting Project*
The /New Media Reporting Project/ was established to provide journalists an outlet for—and provide them with the training and technical resources and expertise to realize—in-depth, critical reports executed in multiple media, with the goal of providing an immersive experience of the stories
and subjects that shape our age.

*New Programming*
/New Programming/ was established to support the development of exhibitions, panel discussions, performances, film screenings, and other public events that examine the intersection of culture, politics, and technology.

For proposals, please send a 300-to-500-word outline of the project, links to past work, and a CV or resumé; for works in progress, please send a selection of relevant images, texts, and other media, a 200-word outline of the project, links to past work, and a CV or resumé by e-mail.

3rd Edition: Keep the illusion alive
www.videoholica.org/en_2010.htm

The 3rd edition of the VIDEOHOLICA INTERNATIONAL VIDEO ART FESTIVAL 2010 will take place in the period 10 – 17 August 2010 in Varna within the framework of the International Biennial for Visual Arts AUGUST IN ART. VIDEOHOLICA 2010 will present a series of video art projections and exhibitions and will make presentations of well-known international video art forums and honored video artists in parallel with discussions concerning video art topics.

The 3rd festival edition will pass under the KEEP THE ILLUSION ALIVE motto.

There is no submission fee.

In the process of increasingly stiffening economic spheres, multimedia, hyper realities and cybernetic culture, ‘the network of simulacra’ has become increasingly live phenomenon. High technologies, information, Internet, clicking, downloading, setting commands, editing memories, cutting out dreams! The art sets the issue: "Shall we use all this, or shall we transform ourselves into very it?" The "hyper reality", thus created, dictates personality’s behavior, perception and consciousness, causing loss of subjectivity.

The motto of this year's festival appeals to preserving one’s identity/authenticity in the process of mass modification and unification of the individual. The term "illusion" is the subject of many cultural, sociological, religious, philosophical and psychological studies from the time of postmodernism, and continues to be a live issue, both with positive and negative connotations. In this sense, the conservation/preservation of the unreal is a negation of the material world and a protest against the omnipotence of information, socio-cultural and politico-economic speculations.

Transfera video art TV
Call for videoart and experimental films

new tv program Transfera
www.transfera.es

It is left open without restrictions the call to select, by means of a criteria in which will be valued particularly the quality, the experimentation, the innovation and the risk, the creations of all those audio-visual artists who wish that their works are promoted and broadcasted through a weekly and independent program of television broadcasted at La Central Digital/Canal Autor, a cable channel based in Madrid, Spain.

The content of the tv program Transfera is exclusively dedicated to divulge videoart in all its modalities (any processes of image-sound interaction, without exclusion of the experimental cinema), with the aim to disclose to the great public a view of the consolidated video artists and offer a platform for all those emergent videoartists with a future projection who contribute with renewing proposals, avoid conventional visual language and does not find their place in other mass media spaces.

Due to the difficult challenge that supposes to raise a project of this spread, destined essentially to compensate the well-known mediatic absence, in this first stage of non-profit test and consolidation of
Transfera, the relation with the artists will be based on a principle of promotion and visibility, a guideline directed to strengthen the sustainability of the program. Once assured the continuity, a
remuneration will be agreed with the selected participants.

There is no deadline nor restrictions for the age of the participants or for the amount of material desired to send.

All the participants can also send a brief promotional video about themselves and their work (not more than 4 minutes long), that will be included within the program as a presentation of their art.

The interested must send their works in a PAL DVD or video format mpeg or mov uncompressed files, (720x576 resolution, preferably 16:9, but 4:3 is also accepted), with an acceptable quality for broadcasting, an jpg image of the video, a brief CV with their personal data, contact and a signed permission form to the address below.

Transfera cannot return the sent material. However, all the received material will enter, unless the authors express the contrary, in the selection for the II Edition of MADATAC, the Open Festival of
Contemporary Audio-Visual Art that Transfera Media Arts will organize in Madrid, Spain, on December 2010.

This event will serve to prize the best videos emitted in the program during this time among the selected participants as a compensation for their support.

Also, it will be again an opportunity to watch and enjoy the most experimental and innovative audio visual creations, to meet the artist's and the scholar's of the future, to buy brand new video art pieces and to learn what is really moving this particular artistic discipline.

In the case that the piece is selected, Transfera will send a submission form with the agreement for broadcast permission and rights clearance to be signed by you.

November 11th to 21st 2010

Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau e.V.
CYNETART Competition 2010

Self-image of CYNETART-Festival
t-m-a.de/cynetart/wettbewerb?lang=en

Statement:
Media art is the sensate modelling and equally the almost scientific exploration of the human perception assisted by instruments of media technology. Its starting point is the sensate and conscious presence in our world. This includes various relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic experiences.

The desired objective of the competition is a multi-perspective discussion of the present development, serving to sensualise the connections.

Based on an „architecture of human perception" (Klaus Nicolai) we differentiate exploration and modelling according to the following dimensions of human existence in time and space:

_ cosmic
_ global
_ social
_ cultural
_ transcendental
_ mental
_ sensate
_ psychic
_ organic
_ neuro-electric
_ bio-chemical
_ genetic
_ (sub-)atomic

Media art reflects a culture, which is constituted from a global participation and networking of electronic technologies. How does this electronic networking and re-presence of our world affect our
perception? How can our perception be modified in order to manage the networking potential adequately? How does the perception of the human inside and outside re-organise itself in this process?What significance does the internet in terms of social networking have for a culture of evolutionary self-organisation and a new structure of information, education and intelligence? How do the mediatisation processes affect the human perception in terms of specialisation and universalisation.

How do the interactions between social actors change the social relations and the individual identity formation as a result of media usage and an increasing dependence from media. How do the technically
mediated types of perception interact with the direct sensate types of perception?

Artistic applications provide the opportunity for the public to practice a responsible way of perception in learning about an active participation in „test arrangements". This helps to develop an appropriate attitude towards human and natural potentials. To this end the following is wanted: dynamic models for the exploration, testing and development of a multi-dimensional perception of body and space. It is
essentially all about prototype examinations on the correlation between innovative technology and the cognitive as well as communicative processes of humans, but also between new media and traditional culture. Performative productions and installations of test arrangements should be given precedence in the funding by CYNETART festival.

Performance formats/Test arrangements:

I. The musicalised everyday life of digital culture – Automatic Clubbing („PopCultureArt")

II. The internet as social site of reorganisation (Social-Art & Political-Art Network/Software) (NetSocialArt)

III. The internet as virtual site of physical interaction and co-production (interactive and networked virtual environments) (BodyNetArt)

IV. Parameters of physical being – perception of the inner world – the body as outer space (HumanScienceArt)
