Hi everyone, This is early advice that shortly we will be putting out the open call for the SCANZ residency in New Plymouth Aotearoa New Zealand in 2009. The formal dates for the residency are January 26th to February 8th 2009. There will also be a two day symposium and curatorial workshop on the opening weekend - February 7th and 8th. The themes for the residency are Environmental Response and Participate/Display (where the audience impacts the art work). Half the residency participants have been directly invited, partly to assist us with funding applications. The other half come from the open call. Participants in the residency are not required to exhibit, and participants in the symposium are not required to present. Project partners are the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and Puke Ariki museum/library. The call will be put out shortly, with a four week period to submit applications. There will be a form to download and complete from the intercreate.org site. The curatorial panel consists of Sarah Cook, Mercedes Vicente, Kate Roberts and Ian Clothier. Here is the list of directly invited and confirmed attendees: Nina Czegledy, Joel Slayton, Sally Jane Norman, Adam Hyde, Sean Cubitt, Sarah Cook, Eric Kluitenberg, Lisa Reihana, Stella Brennan, Sean Kerr, Rachel Rakena and Natalie Robertson. Danny Butt and Dr Herman Pi¹ikea Clarke will be at the symposium.

Press Release - Synapese May eList: Impairment & Augmentation

by ANAT Communications

What to do with what you've (not) got: Impairment & Augmentation Media Release **Apologies for cross posting** The Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) is pleased to announce the May discussion on the Synapse elist which, throughout 2008, is investigating the leading-edge of art and science research collaboration. The use of augmenting technologies for different types of bodies results in very different things. Issues related to functional impairment and the use of prostheses to extend ability are not the same as those raised by the use of prostheses to achieve a type of 'super-functionality' on the one hand, or to question what bodies are and could be, on the other. Throughout the month of May the Synapse elist will discuss impairment and augmentation and, specifically, artistic engagement with this field. The discussion will look at different types of augmentation practices and tease out the impacts of each on how we think about, inhabit and use our bodies. Also under investigation will be the way in which artistic concerns intersect with experiences of impairment and/or augmentation - from the synaesthesic nature of communication aids, to the questions raised by an artist's use of network-driven prostheses. DISCUSSION GUESTS LIZBETH GOODMAN is Director of the SMARTlab Digital Media Institute and Magic Gamelab at the University of East London. She established (and is now Director of) the Trust Project for children in hospital, which uses gaming and haptics to enhance the physical well-being and learning of those with limited physical ability. http://www.smartlab.uk.com/1about/director.htm JU GOSLING, aka ju90, is a London-based artist, writer and activist who works primarily with digital lens-based media, but also with performance, text and sound. In 2006-07, she undertook a residency at the UK's National Institute of Medical Research, where she explored how science affects the way we perceive ideas of disability and normality, leading her to develop a scientific model of disability. http://www.ju90.co.uk BRAD NUNN, an artist, has been exhibiting since the late 1980s. He holds a PhD in Visual Arts and teaches sculpture and fine art programs at undergraduate and postgraduate level. In 1993 Brad had a serious brain haemorrhage, leaving him with physical and neurological deficits. Since then, his artistic practice has explored and engaged with the prevailing ideas of the prosthesis in contemporary culture. http://www.synapse.net.au/people/brad_nunn STELARC is an Australian performance artist who has presented his work extensively in Japan, Europe, and the USA. His projects have included the Third Hand, a Stomach Sculpture and Exoskeleton, a six-legged walking robot. His present project involves surgically constructing an extra ear on his arm that will be internet enabled. He is Chair in Performance Art at Brunel University and a Senior Research Fellow at the MARCS Labs at the University of Western Sydney. http://www.stelarc.va.com.au To subscribe to the elist visit: www.synapse.net.au and select 'Discussion List' ___________________________________________________ ANAT is assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council http://www.ozco.gov.au its arts funding and advisory body, by the South Australian Government through ArtsSA http://www.arts.sa.gov.au and the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.

With the theme of Re:live we are especially interested in expanding the range of topics to include sustainability, live arts and the technological arts of life, both organic and nonorganic. How do the media arts change? Through innovation, accident, discovery, mutation or crisis? How did contemporary media arts come to look and sound like they do? What options and potentialities and eccentricities in the history of media have been lost or overlooked or suppressed? What hopes have been realised and which dashed? What is the history of speculation on alternate histories, and how have they altered the course of media art history? Participants are asked to address at least one the following areas in their abstract: - histories of the art-science-technology connection in particular works, careers, exhibitions and institutions, especially in national and regional perspective - histories of biology, the life sciences and bioart in relation to media arts - histories of the environment, environmental sciences, ideas of sustainability and ecology in the discourses and practices of media arts - histories of liveness and performance in relation to media arts theory and practice, including network performance, multimedia performance and the relation of media to the histories of theatre - histories of the life of machines, cyborgs, virtual communities and the arts of transmission - histories of the liveness of real-time arts and art-science-technology collaborations in such areas as earth sciences, meteorology and astronomy - histories of innovation, accident, discovery, and speculation on alternative futures in media arts We particularly wish to encourage presentations from and about these histories in the Asia-Pacific region. Proposals are welcomed from artists, curators, arts organisers and researchers in media, art history, performance studies, literature, film, and science and technology studies. Selected papers from the conference will be published in Leonardo (MIT Press). We are negotiating with academic presses for one or two anthologies from the conference. Submissions: A dedicated website with updates and online paper submission system is available at http://www.mediaarthistory.org. Abstracts of proposals, panel presentations and posters should be submitted in either text, RTF, PDF or Word formats Deadline for 200 word abstracts: 19th December 2008.

Pecha Kucha Night comes to Christchurch

by Vanessa Coxhead

PECHA KUCHA NIGHT COMES TO CHRISTCHURCH PKN_CHCH_01 Thursday 29 May 2008 Start 8.20pm / Door open 7.30pm The Basement, SOL Square Cnr Manchester and Lichfield Street (Underneath Ishimoto, 6 SOL Square) $7 entry (tickets on the door) We just don't talk like we used to. In these telecommunication times we're more likely to hold a conversation or establish a relationship by phone, internet or text message. Face to face contact no longer seems as important-we're just too busy. But a group of people are bringing back the art of good old conversation through Pecha Kucha Nights and they're coming to Christchurch. Pecha Kucha is a presentation format for creative work originally devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Kein-Dytham Architecture (KDa) (http://www.klein-dytham.com/) in Tokyo, Japan in 2003 as a place for creative types to meet, network, and show their work in public. The name derives from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation ("chit-chat") and it's where you get to talk about whatever you want in 20 second sound-bites. Pecha Kucha Night is an event in which presenters give brief presentations accompanied by 20 images, each of which is shown for 20 seconds, about a topic of their choosing giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds. Presenters (and much of the audience) are usually from the design, architecture, photography, art, music and creative fields and with up to 14 presenters in a night there's bound to be something to spark your own creativity. Pecha Kucha has tapped into the demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global-as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 70 cities across the world, including London, San Francisco, Seattle, Rotterdam, Shanghai and Berlin. Pecha Kucha Night was voted Best Inspirational Event in the Metro 2007 Best of Auckland awards. PKN_CHCH_01 is the first Pecha Kucha Night to take place in Christchurch-attracting fans to see an "array of artists, musicians, architects, designers, writers and activists each presenting their work in some depth but at a comically breakneck pace-20 slides, 20 seconds each." The venue, an industrially raw car park hidden in the middle of a booming central city hospitality district with walls bombed by premier street artists, is also preparing for its very first grand show case. PKN_CHCH_01 presenters will be announced at the end of April. Visit www.pechakucha.co.nz to subscribe to our newsletter to keep in the loop. You can even apply to talk on your favourite subject and achieve your 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame. If you want to be a presenter at our first Pecha Kucha Night Christchurch, please send an email with the following information to vanessa(a)pechakucha.co.nz, subject "application": Name Profession/Company Address Telephone A short description of what you want to show and tell 2-3 exemplary pictures Some information about yourself Please don't send 20 pictures right away. For further information visit: http://www.pechakucha.co.nz http://www.pecha-kucha.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pechakucha For publicity information contact Vanessa Coxhead by email vanessa(a)pechakucha.co.nz or by phone +64 27 660 6437. Pecha Kucha is fun, fast, information. Please pass on this mail and let your contacts around the country know about it.

Daniel Menche in Christchurch tonight!

by Stanier Black-Five

THE BORDERLINE BALLROOM in association with ALT MUSIC presents Daniel Menche (US) Stanier Black-Five (UK/NZ) Coal (NZ) with DJs I-Rory & George Gosset hosting the Borderline Ballroom Music Club The Media Club – Wednesday 9th April – 7.30-11pm - $10 (door sales only) This month the Borderline Ballroom is zapped by a surge of sonic energy courtesy of legendary US noise artist, Daniel Menche. Known for the immense aural intensity of his music, this will be Menche’s first ever performance in New Zealand. Menche’s music is never just “noise”, but focused explorations of sonic structures that provoke and stimulate the listener’s imagination and emotions through the generation of intensely powerful sounds. His work encompasses densely layered atmospheric drones, primal percussive works and full frequency abrasive pieces that use sounds amplified and processed to extreme levels. Music is like one's own blood, so amplify it! As loud as possible - make the speakers bleed! – Daniel Menche More visceral electronics will be provided by local support, ex-UK and now Canterbury-based sound artist and DJ, Stanier Black-Five. Expect blistering electronics fused with environmental recordings that can range from mesmerising aircraft drones to the pounding rhythms of trains. Guitar noise stalwarts, Coal will also be providing one of their mesmerising free noise sets. This night will also include the inaugural Borderline Ballroom Music Club. In the first hour of the evening its host, local legend George Gossett, will be leading listeners through a fascinating selection of challenging music, offering insights into the works and provoking lively debate. _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile.
