Subject: Cybernetic garments
Call for Participation
åCybernetic Garments at The Space Between textiles_art_design_fashion
conference
15 != 17 April 2004
Perth, Western Australia
www.thespacebetween.org.au
the space between conference and associated events will centre on the
new creative and theoretical potentialities that have emerged from the
blurring of the boundaries between art, fashion, textiles and other
creative/design disciplines. It will provide an international forum for
the presentation of new ideas, current research and an in-depth exchange
of ideas and experiences.
One particular focus of the conference will be the potential and
consequences of the uptake of ånew technologies and techniques (bio,
nano, digital, other) in the creation of åcybernetic garments,
utilising re-oriented notions of ågarment, åtechnology and
åcybernetic.
Thus, clothing reclaims its status as a åtechnology extending the
function of the skin, a highly sensitive, visually conspicuous
protective surface of the body, variable in colour and texture, defining
the physical difference between the single human and the rest of the
world, mediating the exchange of both physical matter and information.
In this context, a ågarment is anything worn close to the body, and so
includes sunglasses, jewellery, hair pieces and cosmetics. The
comparatively recent, but now ubiquitous digital devices != mobile
phones, cameras, identity/credit cards, make explicit the cybernetic
relation between humans and garments, since they are åactive and of a
ånew technology.
Proposals are invited for papers, panels, presentations and displayable
artefacts/artworks that explore the impact of new technology and
techniques in the design of active åcybernetic garments.
Specific topics might be, but are not limited to:
Actual garments, prototypes, design concepts, materials, processes,
possible applications in fashion/everyday wear, performance art, sport,
industrial/safety, entertainment and other areas, including wearable and
pervasive technology, smart clothes and textiles.
The application of garment and fashion design into virtual environments
such as games and on-line communities.
The consequences of possible cybernetic garments on individual identity
and society.
The history of cybernetic garments and technology in garment, fashion
and textiles design.
The moral and ethical implications of new technological processes for
garment design, especially bio-technology.
The fetishisation of new technology and åthe cybernetic for its own
sake.
The practical limitations/pitfalls of technology, compared to popular
expectations.
For further information specific to the Cybernetic Garments focus,
contact Andrew Hutchison, a.hutchison@curtin.edu.au
Deadline for Submission of Abstracts and Proposals: 30 September 2003.
Notification of acceptance: 15 November 2003
Publication date for abstracts and proposals: 1 February 2004
Final date for submission of full papers and visual documentation: 16
February 2004
Due to the nature of interdisciplinary practice, research is not always
best presented in the traditional academic format. We invite interested
participants to present their current research, relevant to the
conference topics by:
Formal paper ã submission to include an abstract of approximately 300
words.
or
Performance/Presentation of a small body of work, representing current
research ã submission to include a proposal of approximately 300 words
giving a brief description of work to be presented and appropriate
visual material (eg: 4-6 slide transparencies or equivalent)
illustrating your work. Please include details of technical requirements
for the presentation format eg: computers, projectors, software,
lighting, wall space, floor space and any other needs. Abstracts and
proposals submitted will be refereed by a panel of international subject
experts.
For further information, newsletter subscription, registration, keynote
speaker details, visit the conference website:

in partnership with Curtin University of Technology.

Request for Proposals
LMCC WORKSPACE: THE WOOLWORTH BUILDING
Space provided by The Witkoff Group
Residency Dates
Session B: October 2003 – March 2004
Deadline for application materials (due at LMCC by 4:00 pm): September 5, 2003
Overview
In spring 2003 LMCC renewed its program of innovative site-oriented artist residencies by granting selected artists the unique opportunity to work high above lower Manhattan in the historic Woolworth Building.
The tallest building in the world when completed in 1913, the Woolworth’s signature neo-Gothic spire still holds sway in downtown’s skyline, its delicate latticework accentuated by blocky profiles of surrounding skyscrapers. Financed by Frank W. Woolworth’s five-and-dime empire, the “Cathedral of Commerce” meshed state-of-the-art modern invention, including the tallest single-track elevator and self-contained climate and electrical systems, with opulent old-world details like an underground Turkish bath and an elaborate marble and mosaic interior design. The Woolworth is located on Broadway at Park Place near City Hall. For views of the studio space, please visit http://www.lmcc.net/Residencies/Workspace_Woolworth/WS_Woolworth_Studios.html. For building information, please visit the following links: www.skyscraper.org/tallest/t_woolworth.htm
www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/buttowski/
In uncharacteristically raw, open-format space on the 33rd floor, generously donated by The Witkoff Group, twelve artists will be invited to work on new projects that actively engage with the environment, the exceptional views, and the aesthetic dynamics created by the site. There are 360 views onto the former WTC site, Battery Park and the harbor, the East River and Brooklyn, and the full expanse of Broadway as it weaves uptown. Like World Views, LMCC’s former residency program in the World Trade Center, as well as the recent New Views residencies in the World Financial Center and DUMBO, Brooklyn, this program encourages an artistic/political/ theoretical consideration of location and context and continues LMCC’s mission to position artists in lower Manhattan, create ties between the arts and business communities, and support the careers of artists in all fields.
What the residency offers
LMCC Workspace: The Woolworth Building is open to emerging and mid-career artists working in all disciplines including painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and new media. Artists must be living within reasonable distance from the studios during the residency term. There is no live space.
The residency offers the following:
áÊÊÊÊ 5-month long residency session;
áÊÊÊÊ Access to the studios 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Studio space ranges from 170 sqf to 240 sqf.Ê Each studio is partitioned without a door. Studios haveÊ

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ funders;
áÊÊÊÊ Access to other LMCC services including LMCC newsletter subscription, LMCC workshops and professional development programs, and discounts to art

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ weekend-long Open Studio event at the close of the residency. Artists will be asked to make informal presentations of their work and to actively participate in
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ public programs. Over the past four years over 12,000 visitors have attended LMCC’s artist residency events.
Artists retain proprietary rights to all work created while in residence. LMCC reserves the right to distribute video footage and reproduce images from the studios and of works produced in residence for publicity purposes connected with LMCC Workspace: The Woolworth Building and for publication including the LMCC website.
The selection process
Twelve artists will be selected for each cycle by a panel of arts professionals, artists, and LMCC staff. Decisions are based on artistic merit, career stage, proposed projects or ideas, and, as this is a site-oriented residency, how their work and proposals/ideas might relate to the Woolworth Building and the environment of lower Manhattan. Preference will be given to artists with flexible and active practices who currently are without studios. Work must not distract or obstruct other residents in the studio or building tenants nor require heavy machinery, noisy equipment, or major construction. This opportunity is only available to artists who have NOT been served by past LMCC residency programs.Ê Selected artists may only participate in one session.

CFP: Active Heroines
Active Heroines: A Study Day, at Liverpool John Moores University on the 14th February 2004. Ten years ago an examination of active or violent female protagonists would have had scant material to draw upon. In the last decade there has been both a proliferation of such figures in film and television fiction (Xena, Buffy, Sydney Bristow, Clarice Starling) and a proliferation of academic studies on active women (Tasker, Harte, Inness). This study day is an opportunity to review the work now available and to widen the scope of this debate; to look at new subjects and different media.
Topics might include:
-Female avatars in computer gaming
-Girl heroes in comics
Deadline: 1 December
