#83-attachment September - October 2001


   Our newsletter and calendar were compiled prior to the terrible 
   incidents in the USA.  As of this writing, all activity in New 
   York City below 14th street has been temporarily suspended.  
   New York City remains one of the cultural centers of the world, 
   and we anticipate that the majority of events listed here will 
   take place as planned.

GENERATIVE SYSTEMS IN THE ELECTRONIC ARTS: Call for Participation.
DATES: 5-7th December
Presented by The Centre for Electronic Media Art (CEMA)
Melbourne, Australia

Call for Papers | Artist & Tech Sketches| Generative Audio & Video |

Second Iteration:emergence is the event for anyone with an interest 
in the relationship between generative processes, creativity and 
artistic practice. The key theme will be emergence: the property of 
simple, interacting processes to acquire characteristics and form 
beyond those directly attributable to the sum of the individual 
components. Second Iteration will investigate the discontinuities 
between poeisis and physis, and how these processes influence the 
development of creative ideas.
Following on from the highly successful First Iteration (1999), this 
year's conference will again be held in Melbourne, Australia.

Second Iteration : topics of interest

Artificial Life
Artificial selection
Cellular automata
Cultural interpretations of generative theories & methodologies
Digital nature
Evolutionary aspects of creativity & creative behaviour
Feedback networks
Genetic algorithms
Learning & knowledge-based systems
Mathematical & generative modelling
Memes
Models of creativity and creative processes

WET AND DRY
An international video art program, curated by Ian Haig and
Dominic Redfern in association with The Centre for Contemporary
Photography and supported by the City of Melbourne.

Screening at Cinemedia at Treasury Theatre, September 21st
and 22nd of September at 7.30pm, Tickets at the door.
$10 full, $8 concession

Despite video art's 35 year history no event currently exists in
Australia to critically engage with its history and culture. Wet & 
Dry will be such an event. It will connect with the dialogue of video 
screen culture by presenting videos that are not gallery-based works 
simply reconfigured for the screen, but dedicated screen based works 
which rethink our relationship with the video art medium.

Wet and Dry will showcase video from the outer edges of the 
experimental spectrum. Two curated programs will showcase a cross 
section of contemporary international and Australian screen based 
video work, much of which has never previously been screened in 
Melbourne. The Wet program will explore video works engaging in genre 
manipulation, contemporary popular culture and weirdo perversity 
whilst the Dry screening will incorporate work that extends and 
confronts existing formal discourses within video, challenging the 
material limitations of the medium.

The program will consist of new work by established and emerging 
video practitioners including George Kuchar, Saddie Benning, Animal
Charm, Steve Doughton, Seoungho Cho, Cassandra Tytler, Klaus vom 
Bruch, Doug Henry, Anthony Discenza, Les LeVeque, Joseph Hyde, 
Halflifers, plus many more…

Deleuze and Neo-Aesthetics

http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/events.htm

Friday 21 September, 10.30 - 18.30
Saturday 22 September , 11.00-18.30 Starr Auditorium
Immanent Choreographies: Deleuze and Neo-Aesthetics

The writings of Gilles Deleuze, and his collaborations with Flix 
Guattari, have had a major impact on theory and practice in many 
disciplines. This two-day event, a series of presentations and 
performances, brings together an international range of contributors 
to consider some of the ways in which Deleuze's thought has been 
taken up and put to work in different media and art forms.
It sets out to explore the power of Deleuzian neo-aesthetics, and 
also its limits. To what extent has it transformed the production and 
reception of contemporary art practices? What is at stake, 
artistically, politically and philosophically, in the adoption of 
Deleuze by such practices?
The conference is divided into six sessions: Manuel De Landa, Andres 
Kurg and Helen Stratford on architecture; Alain Badiou, Alexander 
Garca Dttmann and Iain Mackenzie on politics/ethics; Cristina 
Caprioli and Pascale Criton on music/dance; David Rodowick, Astrid 
Sderbergh Widding and Peter Hallward on cinema; Rosi Braidotti, Ian 
Buchanan and Dorothea Olkowski on gender/sexuality; Robert Fleck, 
Hans Ulrich Obrist and John Rajchman on visual arts.
Tickets 40 (25 concessions)
A collaboration with Staffordshire University

This event will be webcast.
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/webcasting.htm
The first day of the conference ends with performances, from 19.30, 
by musician/sound artists Scanner, Oval and Kim Cascone;

Friday 21 September, 19.30 - 21.30 Starr Auditorium

Visual Worlds / An Interdisciplinary Conference
26 - 28 October 2001

[Image]For conference information, preliminary program, registration,
and other information, go directly to the conference site,
http://chsc.ucdavis.edu/visualworlds.html

The UC Davis Center for History, Society, and Culture (CHSC) 
announces a major interdisciplinary conference, Visual Worlds, to be 
held at the UC Davis campus, Friday, October 26 through Sunday, 
October 28, 2001. Our premise is that social worlds -- groups of 
people bound together by shared norms and practices -- are not only 
reflected in but also shaped by visual conventions. Art historian 
Erwin Panofsky famously explained how Renaissance linear perspective 
operated as a symbolic form that helped organize the social 
understanding of a new socioeconomic order. The central premise of 
Visual Worlds is that today newly emergent visual forms are similarly 
having wide-ranging social, economic, and political consequences. 
Visual expression is of particular importance now because it 
facilitates cross-cultural communication occurring with globalization
and serves as a catalyst for transforming information into a 
commodity, and hence, for the development of the New Economy.
Featured conference speakers include sociologists Darnell Hunt, 
Marshall Battani, and Robin Wagner-Pacifici; cultural critics Lauren 
Berlant, Jennifer Gonzalez, Constance Penley and Jon Lapointe; 
artists Mary Kelly, =90tMark, Andrea Fraser and Allan Sekula, and 
intellectual historian Martin Jay.
Conference artists will be featured at a concurrent exhibition at the 
UC Davis Nelson Art Gallery and Fine Arts Collection. Conference is 
free but pre-registration is required.

Symposium TransUrbanism: cities enter atmospheric phase

As a sequel to 'The Art of the Accident' (1998) and 'Machine Times' 
(2000) V2_Organisation organizes on 29 and 30 November a symposium 
entitled 'TransUrbanism'.

Data: Thursday 29 and Friday 30 November 2001
Location: NAI  Netherlands Architecture Institute, Museumpark 25, 
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Symposium runs: 10:30 a.m. till 5:30 p.m. (doors open at 10:00 a.m.)
Admission: fl. 100, - (2 days), students fl. 65, -
More information and reservations: Marije Stijkel, e-mail 
marije@v2.nl or by phone +31(10) 206-7272.

Lectures by: Rem Koolhaas (NL), Knowbotic Research (D/A), Scott Lash 
(GB), Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (MEX/CDN), Edward Soja (USA), Lars 
Spuybroek (NL), Roemer van Toorn (NL) and Mark Wigley (USA).
The symposium will be moderated by Andreas Ruby (D).

'TransUrbanism' describes how our cities enter the new 'atmospheric 
phase'. 
The city and her boarders blur. It is no longer a material object of 
which one can easily say where it precisely starts or ends. The urban 
experience is continued in other media and is echoed by other cities. 
Some sort of urban continuity occurs that only condenses and 
precipitates here or there in a 'city'. Sometimes quite materially, 
sometimes in a very narrative way, sometimes statistic, sometimes 
economically, sometimes very visually, but mostly all these together. 
Anyhow the city's continuity is in the first place temporal and not 
spatial. Spatial continuity as provided by architecture and urban 
planning seems to be less important than creating a coherent stream 
of experience in the fusion of movement, brands, faces, conversations 
and media. It is the living individual, not the urban planning, that 
synthesizes all of these media streams.

The city's substance is hardly material/architectural anymore. Public 
squares, market places, the layout of streets seem no longer relevant 
to how the city is experienced. Also, cities in general no longer 
seem to be the subject of individual experience. The urban experience 
is a continuous interaction between the city itself, the Internet, 
television and magazines. Consumer behavior and lifestyles are all 
temporary products of all of these different media concurrently and 
especially of how they interact. A lifestyle is the creation of an 
uninterrupted atmosphere in which urban elements such as certain 
shops and cafés are closely linked to a certain brand of shoes, cars, 
clothing and a certain vernacular.

Rather than just attempting to analyze this, 'TransUrbanism' aims at 
a conscious practice: how can writers, artists and urban developers 
define new methods for inventing our future cities?

This symposium brings together thinkers and doers, theorists and 
practitioners, analysts and catalysts. Not as passive contrasts but 
as active, mutually influencing ways of putting theory into practice 
and of theorizing about what is being practiced.

For the event Quebec New York 2001, which takes place in New York 
State from August 1st until September 12th, and in New York City from 
September 13th until October 7th, the Society for arts and technology 
(SAT) presents

land in New York passing through Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. 
 
After expanding its mandate to include not only production but also 
exhibition of artworks and after securing an envious position by 
offering to digital artists a unique exhibition space in the heart of 
Montreal's cultural corridor, the Society for arts and technology 
(SAT) is invited to present original artworks from its artist-in-
residency program during the Quebec New York 2001 event. 
 
Under the title MONTREAL BRAINWAVE, SAT proposes 18 creations 
involving over 30 artists.  At the forefront of digital culture in 
Quebec, SAT brings together 350 artists/researchers who participate 
in placing Montreal as a dynamic center of technological innovation.

THE CLOUD HARP (LA HARPE Ã NUAGES) by Nicolas Reeves, will make a 
trip on the Hudson River before being installed outside, on the Plaza 
of the World Financial Center, in front of the Winter Garden, on the 
shores of the Hudson River. Considered a Trojan Horse of Montreal's 
digital culture, this sound sculpture will complete New York's urban 
landscape by offering musical compositions orchestrated by the 
passage of clouds. 
 
PANOSCOPE 360 by Luc Courchesne will take advantage of this boat trip 
to capture surrounding panoramas which upon arrival will be displayed 
to the public using a mechanism of the same name as the artwork, and 
thus, to recount this adventure in a flow of images at 360=83.  
Presented in the Courtyard of the World Financial Center, this 
creation offers a pause to the public before entering the grand Hall 
of the Embassy Suites Hotel which receives an interactive sculpture 
of lights, BEAT BEAM, conceived and realized by Axel Morgenthaler in 
collaboration with Marc Lavallée. 
 
Axel is renown internationally for the manner in which he uses and 
sculpts light and Marc is a programmer specialized in multimedia 
applications. SAT commissioned BEAT BEAM from this team of artists 
who are on their second collaboration since creating a monumental 
project for the Fort Li=E8dot on the French Island of Aix. 
 
The Kitchen is considered among international circles as a Mecca of 
avant-garde art.  It is with great pleasure that SAT will present 
there the WEB-based interactive installation the SILOPHONE by the 
collective [The User]; PORTRAIT Nr.1 by Luc Courchesne, a work dating 
from 1989 which has since become a reference in terms of interactive 
video; the intriguing and very contemplative JARDIN DES OVELYNIERS 
(OU LA LANTERNE AUX ORANGES MÉDITANTES) by Nicolas Reeves, an 
installation "of flesh and metal", which allows the user to listen 
live to the very slow transformation of biological matter isolated 
from the world by micro-sarcophagi made of gold, resin and wax.     
 
Conferences will also be organized in order to facilitate exchanges 
between the public and artists belonging to one of New York's hottest 
art scenes. 
 
Situated in DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass), GAle GAtes 
et al. is directed by a team whose research and exhibition mandate 
can be compared to that of SAT. Michael Counts heads this collective 
which for the occasion will be coupled to the SAT collective. By 
locating its activities there, SAT wishes to offer a mirror-site of 
its own space in order to present simultaneously interactive 
installations, a number of proposals from the visual arts, and a 
series of live events. 
 
Furthermore, Luc Courchesne will install his LANDSCAPE NUMBER ONE  in 
order to establish a dialogue with SAT's presence on the Island of 
Manhattan and to complete a reading of works presented.  This 
interactive work, filmed with four cameras on Mount Royal in 
Montreal, greatly inspired his research in the development of the 
PANOSCOPE 360.    
 
Nicolas Reeves will exhibit his COMPUTER ARCHITECTONES, genuine 
complex miniature architectures made from synthetic resin, obtained 
through the insemination of digitized analog data by virtual 
biological cultures.  It is this methodology which is the basis for 
the CLOUD HARP (HARPES À NUAGES).     
 
The collective [The User] offers an installation and three evenings 
of concerts with its now famous SYMPHONY FOR DOT MATRIX PRINTERS.  
 
Joseph Lefévre and Martine Koutnouyan propose a hypermedia version of 
their work SHAMAN'S SPACE, which won the Möbius Prize in the Fall 
2000. 
 
Patrick Béland, manipulating brushes with the same ease as 
technology, will exhibit URBAN PLASTIC PAINTINGS consisting of nine 
original works. 
 
The opening and closing evenings, September 15th and October 6th 
respectfully, will be opportunities to provoke discussions and 
exchanges through the installation of a real playground on the WEB.  
Artists from here will occupy Gale Gates while artists from New York 
will fill SAT.  Dancers, musicians, sound and visual artists will 
exchange and manipulate on the WEB chosen pieces for a real party 
where live collective creation is at the heart of research.     
 
September 22, WETFISH/MASTERS OF METROPOLIS: the collective Wetfish 
will put into original and uncut music a revisited version of 
METROPOLIS, the master work of Fristz Lang.  Throat singing, 
electronic music, cello and other instruments create a dialogue 
between "old and new media".     
 
Finally, SAT and its team are very pleased and proud to contribute to 
this international event.

  disciplines; 
° Promote its members and their work; 
° Provide its members with access to technological resources; 
° Encourage debates and theoretical reflection about the application 
  of new technologies in the arts 
 
 
Its objectives are: 
° Push for the recognition of artists/researchers as primordial 
  players in the field of 
  digital technologies; 
° Provide Montreal with a transdisciplinary digital culture research 
  and production centre; 
° Play the role of go-between for the cultural, scientific and 
  industry sectors; 
° Facilitate knowledge and know-how transfer; 
° Create a public technological showcase window; 
° Reserve a privileged place for the new generation

MAAP01 EXCESS - new media festival

  12-14 October 2001

Online, Brisbane Powerhouse and regional partner venues

This year's festival theme "EXCESS" enables an investigation into 
artist's extreme positions. Digital culture and the information age 
imply an overload of information and possibilities, yet in many 
situations intimidate, guide and encourage bland response. It can be 
argued that we live in an age where the realities of economic and 
social control have lead to a climate where rationalisation prevails.

EXCESS looks toward artworks and artists that push visual and 
conceptual limits and seek to celebrate an indulgence in the outer 
limits of original aesthetics. While this may sound somewhat Baroque, 
EXCESS can equally rebound into the extremes of minimalism, where 
excessive and rigorous theories may catapult expression to 
extraordinary visual and audio denial. We hope "EXCESS" will vibrate 
between the two extremes.

Everyday excess in our popular media culture, film and television 
promotes desensitisation and ambivalence to the meaning of excess - 
when artists take an idea and push it conceptually we are refreshed 
with ways to re-engage with electronic media, to find deeply personal 
positions speaking from richly different cultural positions.

The MAAP01 festival program runs in 3 streams:

SEE -  includes screening programs curated from China, Korea, 
Thailand, Philippines and Australia.

SEEK - interactive exhibition program including Internet, CD-ROM, and 
new media installations.

SPEAK - netcast enabled regional forums, training programs, artist 
talks and demonstrations.

[DPsNtN] = DISPLACED_PERSONS say NOTHING to NOBODY 
by Christin Lahr (D)

Opening: Friday 21st September 2001, 17.30 hours
Open: Friday 21st September 2001 till Sunday 14th October 2001, Tue-
Sat 12.00 - 18.00 hours, Sun 12.00 - 17.00 hours, closed Monday
Location: Werkstad Las Palmas, Wilhelminakade, Rotterdam and realtime 
on-line participation www.v2.nl/lahr

DISPLACED_PERSONS is a computer-controlled interactive environment in 
Werkstad Las Palmas, and is linked to the Internet. The installation 
focuses on human communication and the tensions and overlap between 
physical and virtual spaces, physical non-action versus virtual 
action, and the interplay between watching and being watched.

Inside a room 8 loudspeakers emit a computer-generated multi-vocal 
conversation. The moment someone enters the room, sensors register 
movement and cause the voices to abruptly break off. This sudden 
entry is viewed as an intrusion on the conversation, and the latter 
will only resume when either everyone has left the room or remains 
completely motionless as a group.

Web users can control 6 surveillance cameras and switch between 
different angles in order to follow the behaviour of the visitors. 
These video "cuts" are immediately projected on a screen outside of 
the room, and figure as direct testimonies of the clicking behaviour 
of the users. In addition, the exhibition visitors can be addressed 
via the loudspeakers through a chatbox with speechsynthesis on:

EAI Announces September Screening Events in 30th Anniversary Series

DIA ROOFTOP SCREENING: DARA BIRNBAUM AND DAN GRAHAM

Friday, September 21, 7:30 pm
Dia Center for the Arts
548 West 22nd Street New York

Dia Center for the Arts and Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) proudly 
celebrate the video works of Dara Birnbaum and Dan Graham with an 
open-air screening at Dia's Rooftop Urban Park Project, on September 
21, 2001.

This unique screening event will feature individual works by each 
artist, as well as a collaborative work by Birnbaum and Graham. The 
program recontextualizes the works of these two highly influential 
and provocative artists, considering resonances between their video 
works, and points of departure and difference. The artists apply 
distinctive strategies to analyze the social function and meaning of 
popular culture, architecture, public and private space, and mass 
media.

The program includes the premiere of Birnbaum's "Attack Piece," an 
installation that was originally produced in 1975 and recently 
restored through EAI's Preservation Program; a collaborative work by 
Birnbaum and Graham that analyzes local TV news; seminal tapes by 
Birnbaum that critique popular culture; works by Graham that 
investigate cultural phenomena, including his 1983 document of 
Hardcore band Minor Threat; and rarely-seen short commissions by 
Birnbaum.

This open-air event will take place within the context of the Rooftop 
Urban Park Project at Dia, a project by Dan Graham that includes his 
architectural pavilion, "Two-Way Mirror Cylinder Inside Cube."

Electronic Arts Intermix, a nonprofit media arts organization, is a 
leading resource for artists' video and interactive media. Founded in 
1971, EAI serves artists, educators, curators, and diverse audiences 
through a wide range of programs, including the distribution of an 
international collection of artists' video, ranging from historical 
works of the 1960s to new works by emerging media artists.

Friday 14 September 2001
location: V2_Store, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam
doors open: 8 pm, start: 8.30 pm
admission: =83 15,=

On Thursday 13 and Friday 14 September 2001 the third edition will be 
presented of dot.nu sound & image, a joint initiative by Paradiso 
(Amsterdam) and V2_ (Rotterdam).

As usual the programme consists of a unique collaborative effort by a 
musician ('sound director') and a visual director, exploring the 
relationship between images and sounds. The collaboration will result 
in a completely original co-developed image-and-sound performance 
that is prepared at V2_ in Rotterdam during the week before the 
presentation. For the next edition of dot.nu sound & image visual 
artist René Beekman and musician/electronic music expert Xavier van 
Wersch have been invited to join forces.

In addition to this live performance two videos will be shown in 
which the relationship with music/sound is the main theme. 'Silent 
Movie for a Listening Eye' is a new video by English graphic designer 
Jon Wozencroft. 'Contemporary Broadcasts' is a video compilation of 
works that relate to British musician Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner.

René Beekman (NL):
Beekman (1968) works as visual director in video and is also the 
author of a number of articles that explore the relationship between 
image and sound in the digital age. Some of his sound pieces have 
been released on CD. 
Having finished his education at the AKI Art Academy in Enschede, 
Beekman then went to IRCAM in Paris, among other places. IRCAM has a 
reputation as a leading institute in the field of innovative 
technology that facilitates a steadily increasing integration of 
image and sound. Here, Beekman was introduced to software like 
Max/MSP and 'nato' that allows a direct interaction between image and 
sound. Images directly trigger sounds, and vice versa. As a visual 
director Beekman's choice of imagery is guided by more or less 
'musical' principles. 'I choose my images like a composer chooses 
instruments for their timbre, harmonics and spectrum'. (source: 
lecture 'Composing Images' by Beekman, published in Lier en Boog, 
volume 15, Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory).

Xavier van Wersch (NL):
Xavier van Wersch (1976) last year obtained a degree in Sonology at 
the Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Academy of Music) in The Hague 
after having first studied philosophy and visual arts. In addition to 
being a performer, instrument builder and maker of installations and 
tape pieces, Van Wersch has a fascination for unstable systems that 
seem to have an uncontrollable life of their own. Among other things, 
Van Wersch developed the 'scream box' (a name referring to STEIM's 
legendary 'kraakdoos' (crackle box)) in an attempt to build a lively 
instrument that offers a more direct and more physical control over 
sound material than do traditional synthesizers. He also developed 
the ever expanding '220 volt network', an installation in which the 
audience, by walking on a surface, triggers an electric brain thereby 
activating all sorts of noisily operating devices. Under the name 
'Szohrgïr' Van Wersch (together with Dave Krooshof) is also involved 
in creating electronic dance music. His tape composition Odysseia has 
been recently released as a CD by BV Haast Publishers.

Jon Wozencroft (UK):
London based graphic designer Jon Wozencroft is one of the co-
founders (together with historian Mike Harding) of the music 
publishing company Touch that this year celebrates its twentieth 
anniversary. From its first publications in 1981 Touch has both 
stimulated the imagination and challenged the eardrums of listeners 
with editions that go beyond traditional conventions of what is 
supposed to be music. Touch's extraordinary packaging has always been 
the work of Wozencroft who, besides working as a teacher, is 
associated with the experimental typographical publication FUSE. At 
the recent Sonar Festival in Barcelona Wozencroft designed the 
exhibition 'Invisible if only=85'. Dot.nu will be presenting a new 
video work by Wozencroft, entitled 'Silent Movie for a Listening 
Eye'.

Scanner (UK):
'Temporary Broadcasts' is the title of a video compilation of various 
works relating to the British musician Scanner, the alias of Robin 
Rimbaud. These videos were produced in collaboration with the 
multimedia collective Dfuse and director Katarina Matiasek. The 
synthesis between sound and the images associated with it play an 
important role in this compilation. Many of the images were shot 
while traveling or at least originate from travels, in the same way 
as Rimbaud himself has been making 'audio snapshots' for years now.

CROSSROADS IN CULTURAL STUDIES
Fourth International Conference
June 29  July 2, 2002, Tampere, Finland

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PROPOSALS

After the extremely successful Crossroads 2000 in Birmingham, UK, our 
plan was to continue the international tour of the Crossroads 
conference site. Unfortunately, we did not manage to get the next 
conference organized either in Amsterdam or elsewhere. Therefore, the 
next international biannual Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference 
will again take place in Tampere, Finland, where it first started in 
1996.

Speakers will include

Henry Giroux * Akhil Gupta * Anu Kantola * David Morley
Janet Wolff * Shunya Yoshimi * Ming-Bao Yue

The mission of the Crossroads conference is to provide an open forum 
for all topics that interest the diverse international cultural 
studies community; to make contacts, exchange views and gain 
inspiration from each other. We encourage international participation 
from different countries, disciplines and cultural backgrounds, and 
from a wide range of research areas. In that way, the conference will 
also show where cultural studies is going next.

To succeed in this, we especially encourage you to send us session 
proposals. You may propose a session with a complete list of 
participants, or just send us the title and session abstract, so 
people can see it advertised and contact you with their paper 
proposals. To learn more about the Crossroads conference and how to 
participate, just visit our web site at

http://www.crossroads2002.com

On the Crossroads conference web page you can also join the 
crossroads2002 discussion group, where ideas about session themes can 
be exchanged and developed.

NEW TECHNOLOGY ARTS FELLOWSHIP SCHEME (PHASE 1)
CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Crucible, Kettle's Yard and the Junction are joining together to 
develop a New Technology Arts Fellowship Scheme. The scheme will give 
artists access to cutting edge technology through direct partnerships 
with technology researchers. The first phase of this scheme will 
begin in January 2002 and is intended as a research and development 
period. Up to three artists will be selected to work over a three-
month period to establish partnerships and develop proposals for 
longer-term projects. We would like to invite applications from 
artists with a track record in producing work based on information 
and communication technologies, and an interest in exploring 
interactivity in partnership with technologists.

Crucible, Kettle's Yard and The Junction believe that interactive 
artwork offers new and exciting ways for artists to engage with their 
audiences, and we are keen to support its creation and dissemination.  

The Fellowship Scheme is intended as a means to bridge the gap 
between the research laboratory and the audience. It will enable 
artists to draw on and influence developments within the digital 
industry.  Our aim is to bring together creative individuals from 
different fields and nurture synergy between them. Cambridge, as a 
recognised international centre for technological innovation, 
provides a rich context for such collaboration. 

Phase 1 will provide an opportunity for artists to pursue some 
exploratory ideas for interactive artwork, and assist us to develop 
the framework and funding to support the realisation of longer-term 
projects in Phase 2.

INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS FOR 2002 CONFERENCE
The Society for Cinema Studies announces its Call for Proposals for 
the 2002 Conference, May 23-26, in Denver, Colorado.

PLENARY:  Cinema Studies in a New Media Age

The Society of Cinema Studies was created in recognition of the 
social, aesthetic, and economic importance of the cinema to the 
history and culture of the twentieth century.  As a new century 
begins, the medium of "film" has become embedded in the new 
technologies that surround it.  The discipline of "cinema studies" 
was defined around the history and theories of the cinematic and the 
perimeters implicit in its name have delimited its objects of study.  
In the last two decades, "Cinema Studies" has recognized these
constraints as it expands to include other moving image media -- 
video, television and (now) computer technologies. The rapid and 
global reach of new media -- the internet, television, video, the 
digital arts =96 challenge us as scholars and teachers to find new ways 
to understand how all media mediate our understanding of culture and 
society.  As our visual field has been reconfigured by many new 
technologies, we view "cinema" on an expanded field of screens and in 
an expanded variety of production and delivery formats.  We must add 
computer screens (and digital technologies), television screens (and 
interactive video formats) to our conceptualization of the cinema, 
its spectators and its screens.

We look forward to workshop and panel proposals that address issues 
raised by the plenary -- as well as those that engage a wide range of 
research in film and media studies.

PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS

To present a paper, you must be a member of SCS. Further information 
about membership and the conference is available at:

There is one deadline for submission of proposals: OCTOBER 1, 2001.

The RRCWL and GPACW conferences will run concurrently; sessions

be shared by both conferences. While we are particularly interested 
in proposals that address the conference theme, papers on all aspects 
of world literature and computers and writing will be considered. 
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* New writers, new readers, re-readings, and new interests in 
literary and literacy studies.
* Globalization and its impact on literature and literacy.
* The future of oral and literate traditions.
* The future (of the) human/body/text.
* Neocolonialism, postcolonialism, and the shaping of world 
literatures and literacy practices.
* Hybridity, difference, and commonality in global culture and 
online.
* Curricular changes and innovations-world literature and electronic
literacy courses in institutional contexts.
* Hypertext, film, new media-what will literature and literacy become 
in the future?
* Teaching in the 21st century: pedagogy and practice in world 
literature and e-literacies.
