Hi there, first of all I'd like to thank Ian and Trudy for SCANZ, and also Helen and Gillian, who put lots of work into the ada symposium in New Plymouth. And to everyone else who helped make this year's meet-up a very nice end to a very stimulating couple of weeks. At the symposium, I ran into Shaun Nicholson, who is new(ish) to the ada list. He suggested inviting those people (such as him!) who read the list, but don't post, if they'd like to introduce themselves. This very sensible suggestion reminded me of a question Danny raised during his presentation, which I've been thinking about quite a bit: what is required to participate in the ada community? I think this is quite a different question from the perennial favourite 'who are we? what are we? where are we going?'. At my last count there were 187 list subscribers. Scanning through with my all- powerful (hah!) administrator access, I see lots of emails and names I know, but also lots that I don't. The nature of lists is such that there are almost always dancers and wallflowers; or to put it another way: readers, lurkers, posters (and also 'file it and maybe read it later'-ers). Not everyone has the time or the inclination to post. but asking a question, or introducing yourself can take a certain kind of confidence. So, if you *are* somebody who's been perching on one of those straight-backed chairs, waiting for an invitation... would you like to dance? best stella

Fwd: :: Discussion Paper - New Media Arts Scoping Study

by su b

Hi all, So nice to see some of you in sunny New Plymouth a few weeks ago. This discussion document maps some of the thinking that is going on in AU at the moment about new media after the brutal cull of their new media arts board. Worth thinking about.... not sure where they would locate a mobile media lab...or whether it fits their current new models. Or if there are somethings in here that we can pick up on as we try to construct/ imagine.... models/ systems/ structures relevant for us here in Aotearoa. cheers su Begin forwarded message: > From: "Andrew Donovan" <a.donovan(a)ozco.gov.au> > Date: 17 July 2006 12:11:00 PM GMT+12:00 > To: <announce(a)fibreculture.org> > Subject: ::fc-announce:: Discussion Paper - Invitation to Respond - > New Media Arts Scoping Study > > The Australia Council for the Arts has released a discussion paper > for consideration and comment by interested new media artists, arts > organisations and arts stakeholders. > > The paper may be downloaded at this URL: > http://www.ozco.gov.au/news_and_hot_topics/hot_topics/ > new_media_scoping_study_discussion_paper_released/ > > Please note the closing date for written submissions is 3 August > 2006.

FW: "Art in the Age of Technological Seduction" Fall issue of NMC media-N journal

by Michelle Menzies

Hi ada-ers, This might be of interest. Given the recent conference (which I was sorry to miss) note the last little sentence: "Event reviews: The editorial board also invites proposals for reviews of exhibitions/events/ festivals/conferences, etc." Cheers, Michelle -- http://www.window.auckland.ac.nz ------ Forwarded Message From: Tim Merrill <merrill(a)uchicago.edu> Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 12:05:49 -0500 To: annc-enggrad(a)listhost.uchicago.edu Subject: [Annc-enggrad] [Fwd: CFP: "Art in the Age of Technological Seduction" Fall issue of NMC media-N journal] /MEDIA-N/ CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS "Art in the Age of Technological Seduction" Fall '06 issue of NMC Media-N: Journal of the New Media Caucus Guest editors: Legier Biederman & Joshua Callaghan http://www.newmediacaucus.org/media-n/call.htm The fall 2006 issue of Media-N, ³Art in the Age of Technological Seduction,² is a collaborative platform, a diverse questioning, re-considering and re-imaging of what, when and how new media arts practice is viewed by artists, practitioners, theorists, critics and historians working in the field today. We seek a broad range of contributions discussing the scope, values, and definitions of diverse new media arts practices and hope that this issue of Media-N will be a departure as much as much as an arrival. Four general questions have been posed by the members of the new media caucus as points of entry for an engaging, vibrant discussion. The issue will be divided into two sections: The first section invites brief personal accounts and anecdotal responses addressing and/or expanding one of the four questions, and we encourage everyone to respond to this section, as we¹d like to include as many responses as possible. The second section invites papers that address these questions in a more lengthy and detailed form. Four Questions: 1. Defining and Re-imagining: What are new media arts? Is it necessary that we define new media arts? How do we begin to discuss or teach new media arts? What sets new media arts apart from other disciplines or practices, or what connects them? What's (still) new about new media or what was, if anything ever was? What defines your work as new media art and why? How do you explain new media arts to your students and colleagues? What did or currently does attract you to new media arts practices? 2. Discourses on New Media Arts: What do the discourses do to the practice? How might one describe or define the discourse/s on new media arts? How does new media arts discourse relate to new media practices? In other words, what does the discourse/s do or attempt to do to new media arts? Are theory and practice being brought together in new media arts discourse, and if not, how might we begin to do so? What do you find interesting or problematic about new media arts discourses? Do you think there is a disjuncture between new media arts practice and the discourses on it? As a new media artist, do new media arts discourses affect your practice? 3. Authorship, Relationships & Relationality: Does your work maintain a traditional relationship between the artist/author/producer and the spectator/viewer? If not, how does it transgress these boundaries? Do you feel it necessary to challenge these boundaries? Do you consider relationality, the non-hierarchical intertwining of data, artwork, artists, and viewers etc., an important aspect of your work? In what context/s is your work shown and how does effect it. How do recombinatory practices commonly found in new media such as sampling, appropriation, and mash-ups, challenge traditional author/viewer conventions? While autonomy and relationality have long lineages in art history, how do they function within new media arts practices and discourses? 4. E-litism: Technospheres and the Everyday: How do notions of location, language, identity, and cultural understandings of communication inform or effect new media practices? Who is left out of, disproportionately under-represented, in the world of new media art practices? Is, as some have argued, the openness often associated with information technologies and new media practices, paradoxically, replacing the national politics of a past with the global connectivity of cosmopolitan tourism? How does your particular specificity (sexual, gender, ethnic, racial, class) affect your practice, your work or its reception? Event reviews: The editorial board also invites proposals for reviews of exhibitions/events/ festivals/conferences, etc. For more information: http://www.newmediacaucus.org/media-n/call.htm [] Send manuscripts via email to: Legier Biederman (lbiederm(a)ucla.edu <mailto:lbiederm@ucla.edu>) by July 30, 2006 [] For format information see the 'Submission Guidelines' link [] For Media-N author's agreement see 'Copyright Statement' link [] [] Questions: contact guest editors Legier Biederman (lbiederm(a)ucla.edu <mailto:lbiederm@ucla.edu>) and Joshua Callaghan (joshua(a)joshuacallaghan.com <mailto:joshua@joshuacallaghan.com>) THANK YOU!! _______________________________________________ Annc-enggrad mailing list - Annc-enggrad(a)listhost.uchicago.edu https://listhost.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/annc-enggrad ------ End of Forwarded Message

Hi, I'm Shaun. > what is required to participate in the ada community? I've been talking with Stella about posting to the list for months - yet I haven't. It sounds like I subscribed just-in-time before some entry criteria are formulated :-) So here is a bit more of a personal introduction and a few reflections on participating in ADA so far... I'm mostly distracted by my day-job. I work in IT managing Web projects and people. I was on the periphery when ADA was formed during Stella's residency at Waikato Uni but I never made it along on the day because of work commitments that seemed important at the time. The issues of the day have long since disappeared and now I'm a little regretful that I didn't participate sooner. > The nature of lists is such that there are almost > always dancers and wallflowers; The ADA emails are a welcome relief from the rest of my inbox. Thank-you to the regulars on the list who generate those emails. As Stella pointed out, discussion lists have a mix of contributors and passive observers. I never was one for dancing. And for the rest of you who seldom post to the list and wondered like I did what the precise definition of wallflower is: "A lady who keeps her seat at the side of a room during dancing, whether because she cannot find a partner or by her own choice." http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50280209 ...If you're getting the emails then I guess it is just a matter of choice. I was a part-time attendee at the ADA Symposium this year. Of all the email lists I've inevitably unsubscribed from over the years, none had an annual event, or at least one I was encouraged to attend. There is no substitute for 'being there' to be a part of something and experience its ethos. There is something to be said for the supportive nature of ADA and attending the symposium helped me to realise that. Who feels like introducing themselves next? Shaun

introduction

hia ada well unfortunately the only lurking has been the ada posts in my spam box (even worse than the "file and maybe read laterer"), fortunately i have saved the postings from the spam box and am looking forward to the discussions, or at least stepping up the ladder to a "reader" from spam neglector. sam hamilton
