Fado CALL FOR PROPOSALS: FIVE HOLES: LISTEN! (Toronto)
Deadline: January 16, 2004
FIVE HOLES is an ongoing series examining the significance of the body and the senses. Fado invites artists to submit proposals for LISTEN!, the fourth installment in the series. We seek site-specific performance art projects that focus on the sense of hearing. Approximately seven proposals will be selected for an event to be held in the summer of 2004 in Toronto.FIVE HOLES: LISTEN! will feature site-specific performance art projects that focus on the act of listening as a way to "place" oneself. This implies a privileging of the audience's experience -- how sound reveals the relationship between one's body and its surroundings -- over the performer's expressive use of sound.
In our culture, sound is most appreciated for its expressivity. Disciplines rooted in sound -- music and spoken language -- place an enormous focus on this particular quality, developing and presenting structures that explore or exploit sound's emotive and expressive nature. But sound as a sense also allows us to place ourselves in an environment. Many animals use sonar, for example, as a positioning mechanism. Inner ear problems can lead not only to hearing loss, but also to vertigo.
Bearing in mind that the FIVE HOLES series focuses on the nature and importance of our bodies (performer and audience) in performance art, the title of this installment recognizes "listening" as a loaded physical act. The term is often used as a powerful metaphor for an active process of seeking spiritual attunement, or for taking stock of one's place in the world. Pauline Oliveros writes, "Listening is noticing and directing attention and interpreting what is heard ... noticing and directing the interaction and relationships of sounds and modes of attention. We hear in order to listen. We listen in order to interpret ourselves and our world and to experience meaning." Curator Paul Couillard is particularly interested in projects that take an adventurous, innovative approach to the act of listening.
Please include 1-page proposal, c.v., and documentation of previous work [slides, NTSC video, CD-ROMs, URLs, etc.]. Press material optional. Only submissions with self-addressed stamped envelope or sufficient funds to cover shipping and packaging will be returned.
Deadline: January 16, 2004

Software Art and Cultures Runme-Dorkbot
conference city camp
-------------------------------------------------------------
The third edition of the Read_Me software art festival will be held at the end of August 2004 in
Aarhus, Denmark. Read_me 2004 will consist of the conference at Aarhus University and the city camp
organized by two friendly entities: Runme.org and Dorkbot. The conference and the city camp will be
held consecutively.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This is an announcement concerning the Software Art and Cultures conference. The information on the
Runme-Dorkbot city camp will follow later.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Software Art and Cultures conference aims to provide an opportunity for people researching
software art and culture to share their findings.
The art movement known by the name "software art" has been active for a few years, and similar
phenomena under different names have been developed and researched for a few decades. It is our
belief that there is a sufficient body of thinking in this and related areas taking place that
there should be a platform for aiding further discovery and enrichment.
Software art is a practice that regards software as a cultural phenomenon that defines one of the
significant aspects of our lives today. Thus, software is not regarded as an invisible layer, but
rather as a significant entity contributing to reproduction or change of certain orders, whether
aesthetic, cultural, social or political. Software art creatively questions and redefines software
and its ways of functioning.
Software art embraces a wide range of practices: from formalist experiments with code and its
execution to software manipulation that does not require any specific knowledge, from alternative
tools built from scratch to add-ons and deconstructions, from real software to projects not written
in programming languages at all, but which deal with issues relevant to software criticism or
culture. Software art deals with a wide range of topics, including social, political, and aesthetic
issues. In many cases, it addresses and becomes part of software culture itself.
Software cultures - cultures generated by programmers, designers and software users - are generous
sources of thinking on digital culture and society. Software cultures define the way software is
created and functions, thus influencing the composition and function of the basic infrastructures
of digital society. In this way, software cultures become inseparable (though largely
underestimated) from the forms digital work, social institutions and cultural manifestations take
today. Software cultures initiate social change, act in political spheres, create and discover new
artistic realms and methodologies.
The conference encourages participation of specialists in various disciplines: multi-disciplinary
researchers including non-academics, art theorists, and other thinkers and learners interested in
the effects of software and software cultures on art, culture, and society - and in ways to analyze
them and challenge existing patterns.
