Piksel08: code dreams, Bergen, Norway.
**Piksel08: code dreams
december 4-7 2008
Bergen, Norway
How does code dream? What are the dreams of code?
Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded
reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a utopic
vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of
mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and
umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened.
Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors
coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real,
automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic.
<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
**open call:
1. Installations
Projects related to the code dreams theme including but not restricted to:
reverse engineering, soft hardware, code poetry, novel instruction sets,
invisible exploration, ghosted computation...
programmed by and running on free and open source software and/or open/DIY
hardware.
2. Audiovisual performance
Live art realised by the use of free and open source software. We specially
encourage live coding and DIY hardware projects to apply.
3. Software/Hardware
Innovative DIY hardware and audiovisual software tools or software art
released under an open licence.
<<<<<< Deadline - august 15. 2008 >>>>>>
Please use the online submit form at:
http://piksel.no/piksel08/subform.html
or send documentation material - preferably as a URL to online
documentation with images/video to piksel08@piksel.no
<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
**subsections:
**real code
real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on the real,
constructing the world through prediction and description. The twelve hour
real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction of a working
code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening of the distinction
between software and hardware, to resolve a new political reference for real
core code.
**abstract code
Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software
implementing different layers of action at the same time.
Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing
with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic.
procedural text
maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic sentences,
prayers, and other.

THE OPEN WALL, Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre, Trondheim, Norway.
THE OPEN WALL
Call for premiered art competition!
http://org.ntnu.no/thewall
The Open Wall, a 80 x 30 pixels resolution 201 inch LED screen.
Latest date for submissions is Monday the 15th of September 2008.
ITovation, a project by the Faculty for Information Technology,
Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, NTNU, and Trondheim Electronic
Arts Centre, TEKS, invites you to an open art competition!
The Open Wall is a wall-mounted LED installation consisting of 96
circuit boards containing 25 orange LED lights each, 2400 in total, with
5 cm distance in all directions to the next light. The wall is 480 cm
long and 180 cm high. One goal of the Open Wall project is to inspire
reflection about Information and Communication Technology with focus on
openness, copyrights, and authorship. The source code governing the Open
Wall is available as an open source project on sourceforge.
Concept:
The artist perspective for the contest is to exploit the artistic
potential of possible technologies that can be implemented in the The
Open Wall. Boundaries between digital art expressions and computer
gaming are vanishing. We will in particular ask the contesters to
investigate in artistic concepts that applies to the wall being an
interactive and ?living? object.
We aim at raising awareness and curiosity about multidisciplinary issues
at the intersection between art and technology. Artistic expressions for
the contest may look into ways of establishing interactive dialogs
between an audience at sight or/and remote located, and the LED wall.
Project contributions can be expressed as a combination of sensor and
actuator technologies that by example reads data from sources like
sound, movement, climate, GPS, social mapping etc., as well as other
methods for fetching external data information. Actuators in addition to
the LEDs, if you find that necessary for your project, can be anything
from sound output to robotic technologies. Your imagination is the limit!
The suggested artistic concept and content will be the jury?s main
factor to consider. This means that though the technical aspects are
vital for realizing this project, the contest will focus on the artistic
concepts and ideas. We are therefore accepting contributions where the
techniques necessary for realizing your project aren?t fully developed
or in detail described. The jury expects nevertheless all technologies
suggested by the contesters to be technical realizable.
The Open Wall project provides an interface for exploring possibilities
for further development of artistic expressions used for permanent
public installations. This contest is part of Trondheim Electronic Arts
Centre's strategy for trying to develop permanent interactive
installations in the public space of the Trondheim region. The Open Wall
can therefore be considered as a fragment of a greater installation. As
this is a concept competition, we accept contributions that aren?t
limited in size to this particular physical wall as such.
Contesters will have the opportunity to start a dialog with Trondheim
Electronic Arts Centre independently of the contest result for further
development of projects.
Prizes:
The price award will take place at this year's festival for art and
technology in Trondheim, Trondheim Matchmaking, the 16th - 18th of October.
The contest is divided in two prize categories:
- The Open Wall open contest.
1st prize 2000 euros, 2nd prize 1500 euros, 3rd prize 1000 euros.
- The Open Wall Student Contest.
In addition to automatically participate in the Open Contest,
contributions from NTNU students will be separately evaluated free of
the guidelines for the open contest. Innovative technologies,
outstanding use of tech tools and playful interactions are welcomed.
Surprise the jury!
3 prizes of 2000 NOK each.
The jury:
The jury consist of five members:
* Stacey Spiegel, Artist, President of Parallel World Labs Inc
* Trine Eidsmo, Artist, Director of Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre
* Per Platou, Artist, Coordinator of The Production Network of
Electronic Arts Norway

MA Fine Arts, York St John University, United Kingdom.
Call for Applications
MA Fine Arts, York St John University,
United Kingdom
Further information: http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/MAFineArts
Contact: admissions@yorksj.ac.uk
Overview
York St John University now offers a one-year full time or two years part-time taught Masters programme in Fine Arts. We have designed a curriculum entirely focused on developing artists’ abilities and capacities for professional, vocational and academic innovation. We emphasise relationships between composition, reflection, practice and dissemination across a dynamic breadth of fine arts disciplines such as digital arts, lens-based media, painting and drawing, performance art and sculptural installation. The programme lays equal emphasis upon developing both studio and commission practice, ensuring engagement with wider culture and society. We seek capable, questioning and dedicated practitioners from across a diversity of fine arts practice whether in the UK, Europe or beyond to contribute to our research-driven learning environment and to make the most of the opportunities our programme offers.
Programme Aims
The MA Fine Arts programme will enable you to develop and locate your practice in relation to current bodies of knowledge and practice in the fine arts, building a strong and increasingly confident practice through awareness and interaction with current contexts of professional practice. You will improve and deepen your academic knowledge, skills and methodological awareness, potentially providing preparation for advanced practice-based research in the fine arts. There will also be opportunity to engage with potential for crossing disciplines both within and beyond current fine arts practice.
Entry requirements
Candidates for entry to the MA programme would normally posses either:
- A good undergraduate degree in a related subject or branch of Fine Arts or Visual Arts practice as Single or Joint Honours or potentially in a Major/Minor combination.
- Experience of working in a professional arts environment or extensive experience of arts practice.
International students will need to demonstrate equivalent experience/qualifications as UK/EU students and evidence of English Language competence where necessary. All candidates will submit an application form in the first instance, followed by a portfolio of work and interview where appropriate.
Key Features
- The developing artist’s practice is at the centre of the programme and you will take practice-based modules throughout the degree.
- Delivery will make use of workshop, studio, seminar and virtual environments, providing an opportunity to explore the interrelationships between practice, reflection and knowledge.
- The existence of parallel MA Fine Arts and MA Performance programmes within the Faculty will provide students with opportunities to develop cross-disciplinary awareness and practices.
- The programme is designed to enhance the reflective strategies you employ in your creative decision making and your awareness of issues of dissemination within your present and future practice.
- Teaching, learning and research enables discovery of ways in which composition, creation, dissemination in the production of fine arts practice has evolved into its present media and forms.
Staff
A team of highly committed practitioners and academics will work closely with you to provide a great learning experience. Visiting lecturers and guest speakers will also make key inputs to enrich the programme and broaden your knowledge.
To discuss this opportunity please contact Roddy Hunter, Head of Fine Arts at r.hunter@yorksj.ac.uk

"Video Editing with Open Source Tools", Handbook, folly, Lancaster, United Kingdom.
folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in the Northwest of England and online, is looking to commission an article on "Video Editing with Open Source Tools" for the Digital Artists' Handbook.
http://www.digitalartistshandbook.org
The Digital Artists' Handbook is an up to date, reliable and accessible source of information that introduces artists to different tools, resources and ways of working related to digital art.
The goal of the Handbook is to be a signpost for tools, resources, and methods. A source of practical information and content that bridges the gap between new users and the platforms and resources that are available, but not always very accessible. The Handbook will be slowly filled with articles written by invited artists and specialists, talking about their tools and ways of working. Articles can take the shape of introductions to tools, as well as descriptions of methodologies and technologies.
When discussing software, the focus of this Handbook is on Free/Libre Open Source Software. The Handbook aims to give artists information about the available tools but also about the practicalities related to Free Software and Open Content, such as collaborative development and licenses. All this to facilitate exchange between artists, to take away some of the fears of artists when it comes to open content licenses, sharing code, and allowing them to have a look at various ways of working and collaborating. The focus is on practical consequences, not on political implications.
The Handbook was launched in March 2008. A number of articles were commissioned for this launch, including introductions to all the main handbook sections. One area we are seeking to increase the depth of content in is "Working with Digital Video", and we are looking for someone to write an article on the topic of "Video Editing with Open Source Tools". An introduction to "Working with Digital Video" has been published at www.digitalartistshandbook.org/node/28. We would like the article to pick up on the ideas introduced in the final paragraph of the introduction, using a number of tools in way of examples:
"When you start working with free software as a videomaker, it is likely that you need to invest some time and energy in understanding certain basics of the video production process. Sometimes this might mean you have to look for alternative workflows, to dive 'under the hood' of a digital tool, or reconfigure an existing solution to suit your needs. Investigating the tools you use as a video maker is an important part of the job, it can help gain insights, it can be an inspiration to explore new ways of working and imagemaking." Peter Westenberg, Working with Digital Video, Digital Artists' Handbook, October 2007
A fee of £185 ex VAT is available to the writer of the "Video Editing with Open Source Tools" article.
For further information please email jennifer.stoddart 'at' folly.co.uk or call +44 (0)1524 388550
The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 18th July 2008, 5.30pm BST. Expressions of interest should be sent by email to Jennifer Stoddart.

Bandits-Mages Festival, Bourges, France.
Announced as the first meetings of video art schools in France, the festival Bandits-Mages was created by a group of students at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Bourges in May 1992. In 1993, the festival takes an international dimension and this video production of some fifty art schools in France and abroad. By 1994, it opens the young independent artists and develops multimedia programming historical and contemporary, broadening its scope of action in several cultural sites in the city of Bourges. Free access and free, the festival is open to everyone and offers over a period of four to five days a programme of video and film screenings, exhibitions, performances, debates and round tables.

Two artists, Miriam Songster in NY (conceptual and installation art)
and Hege Dons Samset in Berlin (photography and video) are starting a
photography-based project for The Transcultural Echange
(www.transculturalexchange.org/). We are looking for other people,
artists and non-artists alike, to participate by sharing photographs
with partners across the globe.
The basic idea behind the project is to use photographs to
communicate feelings about the weather. Over a two-week period you
will send one photo a day to your partner and they will send a photo
back to you in response. We are interested in the personal and
sometimes subtle shifts in emotion or mood that might be portrayed in
the photos, so you can use this project as a way to get to know
someone better or to develop ties to someone new.
Let us know if you have a partner in mind or if you want us to hook
you up with one, and if you have a preference for where that partner
is located (preferably someplace with different weather patterns than
the ones in your area). You might also choose to participate while
you are traveling and share your photos with a partner at home. And
if your job is weather-dependent we will be extremely happy if you
participate.
All of the photo sets will be available via the project blog, which
will become a reference for both weather and emotion, across
geography and time. The project will take place over 9 months ending
in March 2009 and you can choose to participate at any time during
this period. You have to commit to two weeks of photo swapping but
you can continue for as long as you want.
To participate please email Miriam at weatherphotos@spamex.com.
There's no requirement for participation but please include some
basic info such as where you live, when you think you'll want to
share photos (approximate dates), who you have in mind as a partner
or where you would like us to locate a partner for you, and a
sentence or two addressing why you're interested in the project.
