theres an interesting review of Ars Electtronica in latest issue of Contemporary Magazine ".....this year's many exhibitions made it clear that digital art has turned a corner. The best works consciously distanced themselves from the whizz-bang obsession with technology itself, moving towards a more contemplative vision, where technology served as an invisible vehicle for pure aesthetic experience." http://www.contemporary-magazine.com/reviews68_2.htm -- "I call architecture frozen music" J.W.Goethe

feedback for Creative New Zealand's new media research

by Danielle Tolson

Hi everyone Most of you will have been involved at some point in the consultation process that Creative New Zealand is undertaking around issues for artists and arts organisations working with New Media. This process has included the sector reference group meeting in Auckland on 6 May and the CNZ presentation at the ADA symposium on 2 October, which provided us with another opportunity to distribute working documents resulting from the sector reference group. We are now working on the next stage of our New Media strategy, and so I would appreciate any further feedback that you can contribute. If you were at the sector reference and ADA meetings, you will already have copies of the working documents, but I can email these to anyone who needs another copy. I'm aiming to collate this material by Wednesday 8 December, so please get any comments or suggestions to me by then. I am in Wellington all of this week and then in Auckland between Monday 6th- Wednesday 8th if anyone wants to call me with questions or arrange an in person meeting for discussion. My Wellington number is in the autosignature below, and you can call the Auckland CNZ office on 09 373-3066, and Robyn will switch you through to me (i.e. you don't pay for the toll call). I look forward to hearing from you soon. With thanks for all of the valuable contributions so far, Danielle Danielle Tolson Assistant Arts Adviser Creative NZ PO Box 3806 WELLINGTON ddi: 64 4 473-0184 Attention: Creative New Zealand staff are pleased to offer information and advice to prospective applicants.

INCIDENT.NET SERIES: LE NU / THE NUDE Appel à contributions / Call for participation /// Jusqu'au 28 février 2005 / Until February, the 28th of 2005 Merci de bien vouloir nous envoyer vos projets de netart/videoart par mél (incident(a)incident.net). Seules les oeuvres utilisant activement les technologies (interactivité, générativité, flux du réseau, etc.) seront retenues. Thank you to send us your netart/videoart projects by email (incident(a)incident.net). Only the works using technologies (interactivity, generativity, network, etc.) will be selected. http://incident.net incident(a)incident.net (english below) /// LE NU Le nu est un exercice bien connu dans l'enseignement artistique, permettant l'apprentissage de la relation entre le trait, particulier à chaque artiste, et l'anatomie, qui est une norme scientifique. Le statut de la nudité a évolué au cours des âges mais a souvent été le symptôme de notre ambivalence par rapport aux images; entre la pureté d'un corps d'avant la chute et la déchéance d'un corps se couvrant de feuilles ou de lambeaux d'étoffes. Que voile le nu? Entre "L'Origine du monde" (Courbet, 1866) et "Etant donnés: 1. La chute d'eau, 2. Le gaz d'éclairage" (Duchamp, 1946-1966), il y a l'écart entre ce qu'il y a à voir et ce qu'on ne peut pas voir. L'iris comme aveuglement, l'obscurité comme possibilité même du regard, fente où le monde trouve son origine et sa sexualité. La sensualité du nu est l'esthétique même du regard, qui ne peut être touché qu'à distance; un oeil touché par un corps devient aveugle. Il pourrait sembler au premier abord que notre époque est celle de la nudité standardisée et que l'obscénité est à présent celle d'autres corps, féminins, entièrement voilés de haut en bas, murés derrière l'aveuglement du regard masculin. Si la création artistique est une mise à nu, un dévoilement et un voilement dans un seul et même geste, où se trouve aujourd'hui notre nudité? Que devient le nu lorsque le corps peut être industriellement clôné et que les nano-technologies investissent notre chair? Quelle est la relation entre la nudité généralisée et cette autre forme de mise à nu à laquelle l'expérience esthétique nous convie? /// THE NUDE The Nude is a well-known exercise of the artistic process. It helps the studend built a relationship between various styles of strokes and the human anatomy, the scientific norm. Although nudity has evolved over the ages, it will always be a symptom of our ambivalent relation to images, halfway between the purity of the body and the downfall of it, whether this downfall be tattered canvas or in the ground. But what is the nude hiding? What lies between what can and can't be seen? For example in works such as: "The Origin of the World" (Courbet, 1866) and "Etant donnes: 1. La chute d'eau, 2. Le gaz d'eclairage" (Duchamp, 1946-1966), we find an interstice, a fissure where the world finds its origin, its sexuality. The sensuality of the nude is an esthetical concern, which can only be grasped from a distance. An eye touched by a body becomes blind. At first sight, it seems that in this age we have standardised nudity, however, obscenity is still present in female bodies. Clothed and hidden they forbid men's blind gazes. If art is to lay bare one's body and soul, if its role is both to veil and unveil in a single gesture, where is our nudity today? What is a nude when a body can be cloned and nano-technologies penetrate our flesh? And what relates a generalised nudity and the other form of bareness, which is dictated by the aesthetic? /// Merci pour votre participation!

Discontent

by Mark Harvey

Check this on-line thing out... - Mark Harvey Subject: CFP: Bile: The Journal of Discontent (no deadline, e-journal) View Full Header View Printable Version From: amstott(a)buffalo.edu Date: Fri, November 12, 2004 11:30 am To: cfp(a)english.upenn.edu Priority: Normal - Call for Submissions "Bile: The Journal of Discontent" Face it, youre angry. Theres a lot to be angry about. Bile is a new on-line journal of art, letters, media and politics that seeks to embrace your indignation and harness it as a trigger for progressive discussions and important debates. Bile seeks to berate injustice, scold weak thinking, rebuke the successes of the undeserving, and generally reprimand those who produce, market, legislate, or enforce maddening drivel. Yet Bile is most not a reactionary forum for the disappointed to pursue personal vendettas. Neither is it interested in conspiracy theories, jibes, or recklessness simply for the sake of being reckless. Bile is responsible, pro-active, intellectually credible, critically rigorous, and enormously disgruntled. We are now seeking bilious contributions on a range of topics. 4,000 to 6,000 word essays on all aspects of art, literature, and culture, but also works of intelligent satire, international, national, and regional politics, as well as anatomies of melancholy, histories of alienation or malcontentedness, riot, unrest, civil disobedience and the uses of anger. We also welcome 1,000 word book, film and television reviews. Bile is peer-reviewed, and has an international editorial board of academics and cultural practitioners. Our first issue will launch In February 2005. Editors Scott Stevens: stevenssm(a)hotmail.com Andrew Stott: amstott(a)buffalo.edu
