by Melinda Rackham

September 2007 on -empyre- soft-skinned space : "Critical Spatial Practice" Moderated by Renate Ferro (US) and Tim Murray (US) with Millie Chen (Canada/US), James Way (Japan/US), Catherine Ingraham (US), Alice Micelli (Brazil/Germany), Maurice Benayoun (France), Teddy Cruz (US), Markus Miessen (UK/Germany) http://www.subtle.net/empyre Critical Spatial Practice entails the claiming of social responsibility at the intersections of art, geography, architecture, and activism. How might critical approaches to space and place empower creativity, enhance artistic activism, and encourage artistic and collaboration? The alignment of criticality with cyber configurations of space permits especially creative configurations of networks, resources, and discussions whose resulting configurations range from texts and performances to buildings and installations. ============================================================== Moderated by Renate Ferro (US) media artist, Dept. of Art, Cornell University, and Tim Murray (US), Curator of the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell University with special guests Maurice Benayoun (France) is a transmedia artist who explores the potentiality of various media from video, to virtual reality, Web and wireless art, public space large scale art installations and interactive exhibitions. He has designed interactive scenography for large scale architectural and exhibition projects. He teaches video and new media at University of Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne). Millie Chen (Canada/US) is an artist, writer, and curator who teaches art at the University of Buffalo. Her studio practice in Toronto, Ontario, and Buffalo, New York, includes a project of sonic-video installation based on river journeys down the Yangtze in China and the Niagara in Canada/USA. Teddy Cruz (USA) is a Guatemalan-born architect whose work dwells at the border between San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico, where he has been developing a practice and pedagogy that emerge out of the particularities of this bicultural territory. Catherine Ingraham (US) is Professor of Architecture in the Graduate Architecture department at Pratt Institute in New York City, a program for which she was Chair from 1998-2005. Her numerous publications on the theory and history of architecture include her books, Architecture, Animal, Human: The Asymmetrical Condition and Architecture and the Burdens of Linearity. Alice Micelli (Brazil/Germany) has been developing a body of work focused on creating unexpected visualizations of extreme political issues. From Cambodia to Chernobyl, her conceptual videos and installations provide meanings of their own to narratives from places that are difficult to reach. Markus Miessen (UK/Germany) is an architect and writer who leads Studio Miessen, a collaborative agency for spatial strategy and cultural analysis. He is the co-author of Spaces of Uncertainty (with Kenny Cupers, Müller+Busmann), editor with Shumon Basar of Did Someone Say Participate: An Atlas of Spatial Practice, and co-editor with Basar and Antonia Carver of With/Without--Spatial Products, Practices and Politics in the Middle East.

Double Vision in Second Life

by ANAT Communications

MEDIA RELEASE - 24 AUGUST 2007 DOUBLE VISION IN SECOND LIFE An extraordinary emerging practitioner is about to embark on an evolutionary journey of the networked and virtual reality environments of Second Life. ANAT is providing the opportunity for a young and emerging artist working with distributed, portable, online, wearable, gaming, mobile and emerging platforms to undertake a three-month mentorship with an established mentor of their choice. We are delighted to announce the mentorship recipient for 2007: Julian Stadon (Perth) will be mentored by Professors Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, internationally renowned media artists working in the field of interactive computer installation and at the University of Art and Design in Linz, Austria where they head the Department for Interface Culture at the Institute for Media. Throughout the mentorship Julian will work on developing interactive augmented reality constructs, created within Second Life, to appear 3D when viewed through a head mounted display unit in a gallery environment. Second Life will extend into the physical realm and the viewer will immerse themselves in these fused spaces through interaction with them. Julian's practice investigates the spatial and formal differentiations between digital and physical environments, utilising virtual and augmented spaces, in conjunction with natural phenomena to question notions of identity within these spaces. He has recently completed a Master of Electronic Arts at Curtin University of Technology, Perth and has exhibited extensively since 2002. Julian comments, "utilising the Augmented Reality Tool Kit, I aim to insert certain coded shapes that, when viewed through head mounted displays trigger 3D modelled objects to appear as if physically present. These objects will situate themselves in a whole new space, as augmented virtuality". The ANAT emerging technology mentorship enables an emerging artist to explore new creative directions, to expand technical skills and increase knowledge of networks, debates and business practice and is supported as part of the Australian Government's Young & Emerging Artists Initiative through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. ANAT's Executive Director, Dr Melinda Rackham comments, "this is a particularly exciting time for the development of art practices within online worlds like Second Life, which have their own communities, economies and democratic systems. Artists like Julian, who have grown up immersed in technology, are now working to both challenge and enhance those worlds in ways that would not have been possible even a decade ago. We truly are at the cusp of a new age of virtually generated creativity". For more information please contact Gavin Artz, ANAT General Manager on (08) 8231 9037 or manager(a)anat.org.au. <Ends> ANAT is assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts http://www.ozco.gov.au its arts funding and advisory body, by the South Australian Government through Arts SA http://www.arts.sa.gov.au and the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.

Fwd: Call For Papers - Edited Collection on Digital Embodiment, Performativity and Globalization

by Danny Butt

A great looking CFP from someone who I remember from the "Postcolonial-L" listserv days in 1994.... x.d -------------------- Call for Papers: Edited Collection on Digital Embodiment, Performativity and Globalization Title: Everyday 3D Lives: Digital Embodiment, Performativity and Globalization Editor : Radhika Gajjala [ http://personal.bgsu.edu/~radhik ] In the recent past, there has been much talk of “web 2.0 “ and “web 3D” as new media. Educators and researchers all over the world are debating the pros and cons of such environments. MMORPGs (Massive(ly) multiplayer online role-playing games) such as World of Warcraft (WoW) and online 3D environments for social and economic activity. Immersive environments such as secondlife are being examined from multiple disciplinary lenses. This edited will include articles based in examinations of embodiment, performativity, gender, race, class, ethnicity, sexuality and globalization critically, and will be open to multiple disciplinary intersections. What sorts of convergences, conjunctures and connections emerge in relation to embodiment, identity and globalization specifically in 3D environment (such as secondlife) and MMORPGs? Researchers examining presence and absence or voice and voicelessness are increasingly mobilized to speak of identities emerging online, while binaries such as embodied/disembodied and global/local are deployed unproblematically in both utopian and dystopian viewpoints regarding the Internet. Performativity begins to shape exposure and privacy. Thus while claims are being made that the Internet is a “public sphere” in a Habermasian sense (Poster 1995) corporate privation and surveillance comes upon us in Internet mediated environments and we learn to negotiate our speaking within interstices of presences and absences, cooperation and isolation, community engagement and individual consumerism. Simultaneously hegemonic structures invested in particular ideologies of globalization and “free” markets learn to co-opt diverse identities and voices. Voice thus becomes a strategic construct in both cases. Notions of voice/voiceless and empowerment/ participation in such instances are appropriated by status quo discourses and are themselves mobilized for the oppression of the subaltern (Gajjala, forthcoming 2008). In the book on “Pedagogies of the Global”, the editor, Arif Dirlik writes that "Rather than erase difference by converting all to Euro/American norms of modernity, however, capitalist modernity, as it has gone global, has empowered societies once theoretically condemned to premodernity or tradition to make their own claims on modernity on the basis of those very tradition to make their own claims on modernity on the basis of those very traditions, as filtered through experiences of colonialism, neocolonialism, or simple marginalization by the forces of globalization "(Dirlik, 2006, 3). Digital media plays a significant role in aiding these connections and shaping these re-presentations. I am interested in research that examines these connections, representations and productions through critical theoretical lenses based in postcolonial theories, feminist theories, critical race theories and so on. 500 word abstracts due by October 1, 2007 and full articles of no more than 8000 words length due by September 2008.
