hey stella,
good luck, it looks solid and not too ambitious, which means that it will
probably work, but may not seduce them!
but tell me more about this:
> Aotearoa Digital Arts Symposium (hosted by AUT)
given your time-line, is this sometime mid next year???

Hi All,
I gave my final presentation for the CUBE funding yesterday morning.
The judges have made their decision, but the applicants won't find out
who has been successful till may/june. I've included the presentation
notes, if anyone's interested. I don't know how likely the Hub is to
receive funding - I think it's a good idea (of course!), but the
competition's emphasis was on ideas that can be self-funding, and
making money out of artists is a big ask (and not one that i have a
high level of ideological commitment to). any other ideas for revenue
generation gladly accepted, however. The idea is to build services and
networks onto the ADA list foundations.
Here's the bare bones:
The New Media Hub will provide practicing artists with access to:
technology
expertise
national and international audiences
The Hub provides a focus for resources that already exist – for example
within tertiary institutions – building networks to make them available
to participating artists.
The Hub aims to be the first port of call for individuals, but also for
curators and educators seeking an understanding and an experience of
New Zealand New Media work.
A key focus is expanding the capability to make effective use of
existing (and projected) infrastructure.
Three key groups of artists the Hub will assist:
1. artists who already situate at least part of their artistic practice
on the World Wide Web. It is these artists who most easily fit into
the distribution channels and models that currently exist.
2. artists who use the web for promotion and/or distribution.
3.artists who are computer literate, but lack the support or impetus to
establish a webspace for themselves
The New Media Hub will:
facilitate collaboration and mentoring
provide access to technology and expertise
act as a filtering agent and distribution channel
provide credentialing for consumers through professional standards.
The New Media Hub will do this by:
Creating a critical community
The basis of the hub will be a robust website providing discussion –
for instance, on emerging channels and technologies, a technical
database, notice of exhibitions, conferences, workshops and
competitions. This would be linked to other local, national and
international arts organizations. It would bear some similarities to
the Big Idea website, but be more practitioner and critique focused,
rather than employment and news focussed. The website will facilitate
online and face-to-face events.
Providing technical assistance for artists.
The Hub will co-ordinate co-operative skills sharing and facilitate
partnering with suitable businesses or not for profits. We will
provide access to a community of expertise and coaching on how to
produce work for online distribution channels, helping non-digital
artists get online.
Brokering computer access.
Providing access to technology within institutions, the Hub will more
fully utilise existing resources. Setting up systems for external
users will be one of the hub’s first jobs.
Presenting short courses.
The Hub will not initially be a training organization, but this will
change as membership grows, offering intensive courses – for example,
training on the latest software – to enable artists to keep their
skills fresh.
Supplying consultancy services.
Technical advice on such issues as setting up an intranet or equipment
purchase is expensive and usually not independent. These services will
be differentially priced for institutions and individual artists.
Acting as a content access provider.
By building and linking a critical mass of online work in one (virtual
and mobile) place, the Hub will provide a service to audiences of
digital art
The Organisation
For comparison:
The Big Idea operates on twenty hours of editorial work a week.
MIC has three full-time employees
Artspace has two full-time employees and one on thirty hours a week
Initially, the Hub aims for three part-time staff:
Editor –This involves research, building the network and content for
the site and publicity.
Technican - manages technical database and provides assistance to
artists during scheduled contact times. This person may also provide
training sessions.
Manager – Manages equipment access systems, mentoring relationships,
marketing and sponsorship.
We also anticipate some volunteers
Sourcing
Our partner, the Auckland University of Technology will assist us by
providing:
Software
Server space
IT support
A small pilot space
Our member artists will provide:
Content
Feedback
Mentoring relationships
Promotional activities
Most of the Hub’s funds will be spent on spent on wages and salaries.
Phases of Development
First six months
Put together legal for trust and board
Establish board
Find space
Find employees
Build website structure, content and community.
Establish systems for facilities sharing
Second six months
Employ manager and technical advisor
Full launch at Aotearoa Digital Arts Symposium (hosted by AUT)
Secure sponsorships
Continued development of website
Eighteen months
First AGM
Rollout in another city – probably Waitakere or Manukau
Departure of Stella Brennan from facilitation role
Regional comparisons:
Australian Network for Art and Technology in Adelaide
Dlux Media Arts in Sydney,
Multimedia Art Asia Pacific in Queensland
the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne
An investment in supporting new media art needs to be made now to
prevent New Zealand remaining outside this loop. We feel the key risk
in this area is the new media sector continuing to be fragmented and ad
hoc.

______________________
Birchville Cat Motel's music is deeply rooted in the New Zealand
identity
and landscape. The music is littered with recurring themes of isolation
and
rich desolation, native plants and animals, and location specific
instrumentation and titles. His most recent work seeks to discover (or
recover) the inherent spirituality of suburban domesticity. To create
new,
and sacred, sound-icons for lawn mowing, hedge trimming, car-tinkering
New
Zealand.
In terms of its construction, Birchville Cat Motel embodies a collision
between superficially disparate musical forms. Hijacking the
spiritualised
improvisation of free jazz, the compositional grandeur of contemporary
classicism, the 'democratic' drone-based format and ritualism of much
ethnic
and traditional folk music, the liberated new sonic freedoms of hip-hop
and
electro-acoustic, and the recalcitrant clout of 'hoon-rock' like Black
Sabbath, Kneale manages to create an intensely personal and visionary
audio-universe that is decidedly dissimilar from any of the sums parts.
A
'new' music without a name.
Guitarist Greg Malcolm's sound consists of hypnotic evolving melodies
that
are built upon layered drones (created by mini fans, e-bows and floor
guitars). The melodies utilise a variety of tones and sounds created on
his
unique adapted electric guitar created by New Zealand Luthier Peter
Stephens.
His compositions and improvisations are specifically designed to
accentuate
the beauty inherent in the innovations developed within this guitar.
Other
than the e-bow and fuzz box all sounds are created live and organically
by
string manipulation techniques.
Adam Willetts is an Auckland based artist who works in both improvised
music
and installation. He performs with a variety of sound sources including
guitar, contact microphones and theremin, using game controllers to
manipulate live sampling software.

Hey folks,
i am lurker hidden towards the inappropriate end of this list - to
whit, the Australian Capital Territory.
So, in August, i get a chance at last to sample the manifold oddities
that i have heard discussed on this list, because I will actually be in
NZ for once. which leads me to ask two questions, if someone friendly
will indulge me:
1. Where do I find out, when i get there, about what is actually
happening in the world of electronic sounds and other media so that i
can feast my senses upon the scene?
2. Who are the sort of people I should talk to about securing myself
gigs there? Me and me backpack full of gizmos can trot out a mean
ambient industrial glitchcore mess of improvisational sound... but how
does one go about finding venues in NZ wherein to trot out that kind of
nonsense without getting pelted by rotten cabbage?
(is this kind of post out of place on the list, by the way? I haven't
managed to really glean the line of acceptability since I subscribed in
the wake of last year's monolake tour...)

CALL TO ARTISTS AND RESEARCHERS
Deadline: May 14th, 2004
The New Forms Festival is an annual event highlighting emerging forms at the
junction of art, culture and technology. It includes performances, panel
discussions, workshops, and interactive exhibits on contemporary Media Arts
issues. The NFF environment encourages new forms of Media Art to be created,
experienced, and understood. NFF04 will be held in Vancouver, BC, from
October 8 to 31. The theme is TECHNOGRAPHY: the inscription of culture in
technology.
NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY is a forum to explore and embody these inscriptions in
the form of artistic expression and discourse.
NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY looks at the ways in which cultures inhabit and
transform media spaces and technologies.
NFF04:TECHNOGRAPHY will bring together practitioners and theorists from
across grassroots, gallery academy and academic contexts and provide a
platform for conversations among the diverse voices of contemporary digital
regionalism.
NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY programming incorporates the principles found within an
ecological model of the cultural sphere: complexity, variety and balance.
Like nature, culture is also a changing phenomenon, affected by the ways in
which technology inhabits the environment and relates to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPOSALS
Artists, scholars, developers and practitioners working in New Media Art are
invited to submit proposals for projects, performances, presentations,
papers and panels by May 14, 2004.
Projects, presentations and performances
Proposals are invited for four areas of the festival: the Conference, the
Exhibition (digital art, performance, installation, immersive environments,
Net.Art), Performance Series (sound art, performance art, live film/AV) and
Late Night Events (music, visuals, post-digital, laptop, group performance,
screenings).
Conference
The NFF04 Conference, Old And New Forms, negotiates new global parameters
for contemporary media culture, as it charts a post-traditional
technography¹ of world Media Arts. The post-traditional is what remains of
modernism and postmodernism when modernization is abandoned as an unfinished
and unachievable project. While the post-traditional view is clearly
meaningful in the post-colonial and developing spheres, Old And New Forms
posits that it is equally germane to the global post-industrial scenario as
a whole. For more details, see conference details .
Gallery Exhibition/Events/Workshops
This year the Exhibition (Gallery and Net Art), Performance Series, and Late
Night Events will present a range of works that embody and interpret the
theme of TECHNOGRAPHY as defined above.
Works selected will fall into the following Festival sub-themes or
categories:
Acoustic ecology
Alternative narrative
Artificial Reality
Collaborative design
Cultural Ecology
Culturally reflective computing
Cyberfeminism
Cyborg Fashion

Digital Regionalism
Electronic Gaming
Expanded Cinema
Grassroots media culture
Immersive Environments
Indigenous media initiatives
Interaction design
Interface Design and Development

Poetics of technology and development
Post-media or networked activism
Post-traditional Theory
Robotics
Sacred art and digital technology
Sound art
Sound Sculpture
Technology and embodiment
Technology and the natural environment
Telematic Performance
Wireless and wearable computing
Artists and media artwork selected for The New Forms Festival should
manifest multiple themes, mediums, and modes of expression, exploring a
distinct genre.
Some genres should explore collaborative and improvisational components or
³live² artworks, created for the festival.
The festival also encourages artworks that are process-oriented, continually
evolving and in transformation, which are facilitated through technological
and ideological means.
All submissions will be reviewed by the Festival Programming Committee and
those chosen will be contacted by June 30, 2004.
Applications must be submitted via the online form (see below).
Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Due to limited resources we are only able to review submissions written in
English.

Digitalis 3.5: Ethno-Techno: An Exhibition of Digital Print
In collaboration with the New Forms Festival 2004, the Digitalis Digital Art
Society (http://www.ddas.ca/ddas) announces Digitalis 3.5: Ethno-Techno: An
Exhibition of Digital Print. Our theme Ethno-Techno refers to the
convergence of ethnology and technology, or the expression of ethnicity or
ethnicities in the form of digital print. Artists are encouraged to play in
their own ethnicity or in the ethnicity of other cultures.
Subject matter can be related to racial, national, tribal, religious,
linguistic, or cultural origin or background. Images submitted must have
been manipulated in some way by the computer.

format and a short bio to Digitalis curator James K-M at electric(a)telus.net
by May 14, 2004.
There is no entry fee and the New Forms Festival 2004 will pay return
shipping costs. The exhibition will take place October 12 26, 2004 in
Vancouver, Canada.

You may have already seen this site, in which case, you lead very rich
