GATES / July 4 - September 30 2003 GATES - Starting from Greece Gates is a total new collaborative art experiment, it is a non-conventional exhibition; one can participate not by sending video or digital work on the topic, but creating a network, circulation of action-communication, between real and cyberspace, between visual and word, related to the symbolic icon of the Gate, with its metaphoric, symbolic, of computer science, and telematic, implications, gates as ways of transit, as dimension of open, of confrontation, of passages in every direction, at every level. We are creating a new form of art that uses as matter e-communication, relationship among persons, art debate, our real/virtual body, voice, gesture (Karenina.it is all this); experimentals! artists, poets, critics, theoreticians! e-post-Fluxus casseurs, e-post-post-duchamp-ists (?), welcome!, Karenina.it is an open gate for what you think, and for what you do.

Stiamo creando una nuova forma d'arte che usa come materia la comunicazione elettronica, il rapporto tra le persone, il dibattito sull'arte, il nostro corpo/voce/gesto reali/virtuali (Karenina.it è tutto questo).

They act as signifiers = for the most basic operating functions and structures as well as = mnemonics for programs on the metaphorical 'desktop'. However, one can = only begin to consider how symbolic grammars such as those used in = computer systems reveal the inner workings of the digital environment, = its biases, or its historical referents, both technological and = cultural. ICONOGRAPHY calls to artists to consider the icon as a = fundamental element of visual grammar on the screen, and almost as = essential to the cultural syntax of the computer as the alphanumeric = character. Can icons be part of the ongoing dialogue on technological = art forms, or are they merely visual devices? It is hoped through = seeking a critical engagement with the icon, new questions can be asked = about its form, function, and location within the culture of computers. =20 CALL FOR WORKS ICONography will focus on the subject of the 32x32 icon, although others = such as smaller formats like file folder markers, etc. will be = considered. Any icon-based work that meets the format constraints is = eligible. Interactive and time-based artworks are encouraged as well, = but may be used in single-frame format if physical exhibitions are = realized (under discussion). If you have any questions regarding the = nature of your work, please note the Submission Guidelines, then contact = the curator. =20 =20 CALL FOR ESSAYS/CRITICAL WORKS The ICONography exhibition is calling to the arts and academic community = for critical works that address issues related to the use of icons in = the computer environment. What are the parallels with historical or = even paleolithic forms, religious iconography, pictographic languages, = hidden agendas in iconic subjects, or ontologies of graphic systems such = as the paradigms presented by the Macintosh and Windows operating = systems by their use of icons? ICONography seeks to ponder these = questions as the artists push the boundaries of the genre. Over 1000 = words preferred; images are also encouraged, and text format in plain = text, MS Word, or Word Perfect 9 or less. Experimental formats are also = acceptable, but representation is by curator's discretion.=20 =20 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: All images will be limited to a size of 32x32 pixels, any bit depth is = acceptable. Preference will be given to bitmap-oriented work = (GIF/JPG, ICO), although other formats will be considered. = Interactivity, etc is also encouraged, as long as the curator can = relocate and embed the works into pop-up windows that will open in the = exhibition layout. There is no maximum for number of icons submitted, but it is asked that = artists view their submissions discriminately. A brief description of = the image(s) of up to 75 words and a short biography of up to 50 words = maximum is also requested. Please email all submissions to voyd@voyd.com = by no later than Sept. 15th , 2003, Midnight US CST. No entry fees are = required. =20 Terms: Artists agree to allow exhibition of images on exhibition website, = promotional materials, and on print media (prints/catalogues) for = possible gallery venues (under negotiation).

For the first time an event of this scale is being organised between three cities and on the ferry travelling between these three Baltic countries. International participants and local audiences attend thematic conferences, exhibitions, live performances, screenings, satellite events, concerts and clubs. Many events are also interfaced via television, radio, broadband Internet, and mobile networks. We are encouraging: Socially, critically and ecologically engaging work; Projects that bring the creative media to the streets; Projects that are worn on or inside people; Context sensitive work in the museums; Projects that float, dock or sail; Screen based media as it appears in 2004; Sea Fair: technological gizmos for ferry travellers and future media archaeologists to discover; Bridges between club scenes and art venues; Most engaging works from performing arts that engage new media, users, and audiences; Networks to network... Key themes for the event include: Networked experience (Stockholm) Wearable experience (Tallinn) Wireless experience (Helsinki) Histories of the new: media arts, media cultures, media technologies - - all cities Additional themes include: Open source and software as culture (Helsinki) Critical interaction design (Helsinki) Geopolitics of media (Tallinn) Interfacing sound (Helsinki and on the Ferry - in collaboration with Koneisto - check out http://www.koneisto.com for details of this year's Koneisto Festival 24-26 July 2003) We are currently inviting proposals for projects and papers for the exhibitions, conferences and associated programs during ISEA2004. Projects might include: works for exhibition in a gallery; workshops; installations in public spaces; live performance; interfaced screenings; games or shared environments; projects which encourage remote participation - etc. Proposals for the conference can include papers and panels but we are equally interested in workshops and roundtables: discussion formats that encourage participation and exchange of ideas. We are also working with a range of local organisations who may be able to host short and medium term residencies or workshops for artists who are keen to spend a longer time working with local artists and organisations. Information on these opportunities will be regularly added to the web site, so do register to receive updates. ISEA2004 will be an exciting week long event, but we are also interested in providing a space to build long term, sustainable exchange and collaboration. The time on the Ferry will provide a space for less formal dialogue and social intercourse, so feel free to propose workshops and meetings for the exchange of information and ideas. Our over all aim for ISEA2004 is to create an event which is thematically and critically coherent and provides new insight. Please note that ISEA2004 is a forum for artistic, academic, and culturally or socially relevant work that has not previously been presented in international forums (you may have showed/presented it in your local context). All submissions are done via our website using a web form and stored into a database. This procedure allows us to have the proposals reviewed by International Programme Committee (IPC) members. We very much look forward to hearing your ideas!

Introducing the Sarai Reader Sarai, (www.sarai.net) an interdisciplinary research and practice programme on the city and the media, at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies invites contributions (texts and images) to Sarai Reader 04 : Crisis/Media We also invite proposals to initiate and moderate discussions on the themes of the Sarai Reader 04 on the Reader List (http://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/reader-list) with a view to the moderator(s) editing the transcripts of these discussions for publication in the Sarai Reader 04. For an outline of the themes and concerns of Sarai Reader 04, see concept outline below. To know about the format of the articles that we invite, see 'Guidelines for Submissions' below. The Sarai Reader is an annual publication produced by Sarai/CSDS(Delhi). The contents of the Sarai Readers are available for free download from the Sarai website (see urls below) Previous Readers have included : 'The Public Domain' : Sarai Reader 01, 2001 (http://www.sarai.net/journal/reader1.html) 'The Cities of Everyday Life' : Sarai Reader 02, 2002, (http://www.sarai.net/journal/reader2.html ). And 'Shaping Technologies' : Sarai Reader 03, 2003 (http://www.sarai.net/journal/reader3.html) The Sarai Reader series aims at bringing together original, thoughtful, critical, reflective, well researched and provocative texts and essays by theorists, practitioners and activists, grouped under a core theme that expresses the interests of the Sarai in issues that relate media, information and society in the contemporary world. The Sarai Readers have a wide international readership. Sarai Reader 04 will be partly based on the presentations made at a workshop jointly organized by Sarai - CSDS and the Waag Society - "Crisis/Media : The Uncertain States of Reportage" . The workshop was held at Sarai-CSDS, Delhi in March 2003. For more details of the contents of this workshop, see http://www.sarai.net/events/crisis_media/crisis_media.htm Editorial Collective for Sarai Reader 04 : Ravi Vasudevan, Ravi Sundaram, Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula & Shuddhabrata Sengupta (Sarai, Delhi) and Geert Lovink (Media Theorist & Internet Critic, Brisbane) II. Crisis/Media : Concepts & Themes From the very beginning of this century we have hurtled on as if from crisis to crisis. As if all the ghosts of the 19th and the 20th centuries, decades of war, colonial plunder, totalitarian repression and the hardening of secterian animosity had suddenly decided to come home to roost in a frenzied attempt at revisiting on the present all the accumulated tragedies of the past that we had thought we had left behind us as we gingerly made our way into our times. The images of planes crashing into skyscrapers, of entire cities being bombed into submission from the air, of occupying armies and fleeing civilians, of suicide bombers, ethnic cleansing and riot police assaulting unarmed demonstrators have branded themselves on to our consciousness with mounting frequency. These are the substance of the meditations of all our mornings, as we pick up the day's newspaper, switch on the radio in the kitchen, or the television in the living room, or log on to the internet, We have witnessed flash floods, epidemics, economic collapse, mass migrations and an intensification of the regimes of surveillance and control on a near global scale. Our newspapers, our television sets, our radios, our websites and our minds have become prisoners of war, and there seems to be no sign of a ceasefire in sight, at least as of now. The world we live in has also witnessed an enormous increase in the scale and complexity of communicative possibilities. An explosion of the means of delivering news, comment and images at rapid speed over diverse media has meant dispersal as well as amplification of the dynamics of any event or process, anywhere in the world. Satellite communications, a new telecom revolution, cheap electronic devices, computers and the internet ensure that no moment goes un reported. There is no moment that is not potentially global anymore. These are times for sober reflection, and that, precisely, is what we often find missing, as we open the newspaper, listen to the radio, or television. Yet, a variety of different, dissident, passionate and sane voices are also making themselves heard, through combinations of new and old media, as never before. The 'Paid For' news of the mainstream media is often exposed for what it is, even before it appears, by an increasingly vigilant network of independent local-global media initiatives. The numbers that turn out on the streets of the world's major capitals to protest against war seem to suggest that despite huge propaganda efforts, 'the spin' isn't working, at least not all of the time. We live, as the Chinese curse has it, in 'interesting times'. This accumulation of situations of crisis in the first three years of our century, and their rapid, almost real time dissemination in the media, have no doubt precipitated new opportunities for communicative action and global reflection, just as they have signaled an onset of a severe crisis within the media - a crisis of over-stimulation and under-statement, of exaggeration and exhaustion, of censorship and spin-doctoring, of fear and favour. More than at any other time before, the power and reach of the media, the potential of the usage of technologies of information and communication for control or for freedom, and the several intertwined professional, cognitive and ethical dilemmas that media practitioners face on a daily basis. All these require us to pause and take stock of the fact that the crises reported in the media have a bearing on the crisis of reporting in the media - That the media and the crisis that media require to be themselves today can no longer be seen as distinct categories, hence - CRISIS/MEDIA. We are interested in recognizing the fact that media today are located precisely along the intersections and fault lines that connect and divide representations (media events and processes) and structural problems. The Reader aims to excavate the relationships between these structures and the representations that accompany them. Crisis Media respond as much to wars and ongoing ethnic conflicts as they do to environmental crises or the AIDS epidemic and the SARS panic. Given this situation, how can Crisis/Media go beyond their historically framed task of 'correcting' mainstream opinions and actually experiment with other narratives? How can the global rise of mobile devices be utilized to 'receive, transmit and broadcast' peoples' stories as they occur, and by doing so, break the separation between reporters and the reported? Further, is it possible for us to begin to debate and problematize the whole notion of 'representation' itself, positing more immediate forms of testimony that resist mediatization? These are open questions, with no satisfactory and coherent answers, but Sarai Reader 04 would like to take them on, so as to map new territories of thought about media practice. A Preliminary List of Themes (these are not chapter or section headings, but point to areas of interest) could include : The Political Economy of Contemporary Media Forms Media Wars and Media in times of War : Weapons of Mass Distraction? Taking Sides and Speaking Truth : The Reportage of Ethnic Conflict and Civil Unrest Surveillance, Intelligence, Reportage : The Journalist and the Informer Brand Disloyalty : Critiques and Analyses of Immaterial Capital in the Information Age Aliens and Others : Media and Migration Reporting the Crises of Everyday Life Re imagining Tactical Media Evaluating Independent Media Strategies in the time of Globalization Mobile Maverick Media : the Technology and Politics of Dispersed and Mobile Media Forms Viral Media Communicable Diseases : Epidemics as Information The Body as Data Crises of Representation : Ethics, Epistemics, Aesthetics The Space for Free Speech Sarai Reader 04 - Crisis/Media, seeks to engage with this situation by inviting a series of reflections by media practitioners (journalists, independent media activists, filmmakers,photographers, artists, commentators and editors) and thinkers, writers, scholars, activists and critics. We are looking for incisive analysis, as well as passionate writing, for scholarly and theoretical rigour as well as for critical and imaginative depth. We invite essays, reportage, diaries and memoirs, entries from weblogs, edited compilations of online discussions, photo essays, image-text collages and interpretations of found visual material. We are interested in testimonies from all theatres of global conflict - be they New York, London, Baghdad or Kabul, in reports from continuing crisis situations - in Kinshasa, Ahmedabad, Ramallah, and in essays and reflections that address the world from Delhi, Belgrade, Karachi, Beijing, Buenos Aires and Tehran. We are interested in anything from anywhere at all that makes for intelligent, provocative and critical encounters with the world we all live in. Contributors can also consider the structural, technological, rhetorical and aesthetic dimensions of understanding, interpreting and expressing aspects of what they see as situations of crisis. They can reflect on ecological crises, crisis within social institutions and the many unreported and unexamined crises of everyday life that be-devil the contemporary moment. Hate speech and unreflective testimonies of victim-hood are however not welcome. The Sarai Reader 4, like the previous Sarai Readers, will be international in scope and content, while retaining a special emphasis on reflection about and from areas that normally lie outside the domain of mainstream discourses. We are particularly interested in cutting edge writing and contributions from South Asia, South and Central America, South East Asia, China, Tibet and Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Australia. This is not an expression of a 'regional' or 'third world' bias, rather it is an affirmation of the fact that some of the most exciting emergent voices are located in these regions. We of course welcome, innovative and critical contributions from Europe, North America and Japan. We are especially keen to shape the Reader in response to events such as the Next Five Minutes 4 Conference, and hope that some of the ideas that get generated in such events can find their way into the debates that the Reader hopes to embody. If you feel these issues and questions are of interest to you. If your practice, thought, curiosities, research or creative activity has impelled you to think about some of these issues, we invite you to contribute to Sarai Reader 04 : Crisis/Media. III.

The print run will be 20'000 copies. The aim of the newspaper is to alert the delegates and the participating public that current and future regulations and practices concerning intellectual property are among the most fundamental issues shaping the Information Society. At stake is whether the information order will be characterized by centralized control by a few transnational owners of IP claims with the majority of the population relegated to the status of passive consumers or excluded entirely; or by decentralized participation of the widest range of citizens around the world who have access to intellectual resources of production inside and outside the market system. To highlight the issues, the newspaper will frame them as two competing scenarios for the future: control vs. participation. For this project, we are looking for texts -- aimed at a general, interested audience -- that develop the either of the scenarios, be it as a critique of the present or as an introduction of an alternative. The papers can be theoretical or practical, focussing on any of the many dimension and should not be substantially longer than 1000 words. We will accept both original texts and text that have already been published elsewhere. The texts will be published under a CreativeCommons license [3] unless requested otherwise by the author.
