*G-spot CALL FOR ENTRIES - deadline extended to JULY 30
NEW Deadline July 30th 2005
G-spot invites submissions from professional artists who wish to showcase
their erotic artworks as part of a specialized gallery/event that will be
part of the sixth annual Everything To Do With Sex Show, taking place this
fall from October 21st to 23rd.
We're seeking high quality artworks that range from 'demure and romantic' to
'outrageous and explicit'. Most of all, we're looking for work that engages
its audience by informing the sensuality and joy of erotic experience.
Erotic art of all orientations but only of genuine quality will be
considered. We encourage works created in diverse media such as painting,
drawing, prints, sculpture, photography, video, audio, text, and
performance.
Detailed information about sending us your submission can be found at

*The Daniel Langlois Foundation announces new and revised programs
Deadline: various
After more than a year of evaluation,
consultation and reflection, the Daniel Langlois
Foundation for Art, Science and Technology
announces the progressive resumption of its
programs, effective September 2005. The mandate
of the Foundation has not changed at all; its
purpose is to further artistic and scientific
knowledge by fostering the meeting of art and
science in the field of technologies. The
Foundation seeks to nurture a critical awareness
of technology's implications for human beings and
their natural and cultural environments and to
promote the exploration of aesthetics suited to
environments shaped by human beings. Visit
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/ for more
information.
*New Forms Festival 2005: Ecologies (September 15 â*“ 24, 2005)
Deadline: Ongoing
The Festival is comprised of five sections: Low
art, Film, Exhibition, Performance and
Conference. NFF 05 Ecologies explores the complex
interconnections in our inhabited world. With a
focus on the ecologies of technology and beyond;
we examine past, present and future models and
ways of seeing, hearing and feeling our
environment. This year's festival recognizes the
wisdom that nature provides in terms of the
technological world around us, and how these
interpretations play out within arts, activism
and culture. The physical environment, the
embodiment of technologies that we create, and
environmental issues all play a part in this
larger discourse. These include issues of
sustainability, inter-relationships, variety,
complexity, balance, organism, spirit, non-linear
approaches to space and time, and non-linear
relationships. Systems and ecologies are
expansive and all around us, and impact
everything from the programming we use in the
virtual world, to our sacred environments. As
technology interconnects with our themes of
'Ecology' and 'Environment', we ask where will
this interconnection lead us? This year's
festival will look at this question in a
multitude of ways, bridging different
interpretations on these themes into one greater
ecological perspective. The selected sub-themes
for each section of this year's festival will be
drawn from a number of sources. All submissions
for the festival should identify the specific!
event in the festival that they are submitting
to. Further to the word application, which can be
downloaded through our website at
http://www.newformsfestival.com, all submissions
for exhibition/performance/low art should be
accompanied by a hard copy of works being
submitted for the festival, with an entire
performance/installation in full. All conference
submission guidelines accompany this call, and

*Circuit at Eyebeam -- Call for proposals
Deadline: Monday, August 22, 2005
Eyebeam is pleased to launch Circuit, a new
program developed in response to the need of
emerging artists, particularly those recently
exiting graduate-level programs, to exhibit work
and receive professional critique and exposure to
networks within the art and technology community.
Circuit is designed as a three-day intensive
program offering artists working and
experimenting with new tools and practices, the
opportunity to: meet and network with fellow
artists working with similar media -- gain
experience exhibiting at an art and technology
center in New York City -- receive critique from
peers and professional curators, gallerists,
artists, academics, writers, theorists, etc. --
present work publicly during an event at Eyebeam,
gaining feedback from peers, professionals and
the public. Circuit will run three times
annually, with a maximum of 6 artist participants
per program. Selected artists will exhibit their
work in Eyebeam’s exhibition space for three
days, during whi!
ch time they will take part in a critique
organized by Eyebeam’s Education and Curatorial
staff, and present and/or perform their projects
during a public event at the end of the three
days. Artists interested in applying to take part
in Circuit should view this program as a way to
publicly prototype work under development (ie
thesis projects that are ready for the next level
of presentation), and take part in a structured
critical discourse outside of the academic
setting. Eyebeam is interested in projects
ranging from moving image, sound and physical
computing works, to software, web sites,
technical prototypes, performances, workshops and
other forms of public interventions. For more
information on Circuit, view requirements and the
2005-06 schedule, or to complete an online
application please visit

*VJ Theory: Call for Ideas
Deadline: ongoing
During AVIT UK 05 there was a fantastic level of
debate based on both the theory and practice of
VJing and realtime interactive installations and
the questions those practices rise. Paul and Lara
have been organizing Narrative Lab, a program of
lectures, screenings, performances and projects
as a major strand since of AVITUK since 2003.
The group has been seeking to encourage debate,
spark new work arising from theory and facilitate
collaboration examining the territories of
narrative. Over the last two years the narrative
Lab has hosted lectures on hypertextuality, meta
narratives, psychogeography, screen aesthetics,
structuralism, process methodologies and various
production techniques. These theoretical debates
have now expanded across many of the other
sessions. What became apparent was the lack of
written texts which attempt to deal with these
questions which involves everybody's practice.
With this in mind we propose to gather a
collection of articles and essays which!
begins to deal with these new media debates. We
see this volume as paralleling the early
anthologies of film criticism, such as 'Movies
and Methods' by Bill Nichols, containing a broad
range of analytical perspectives relating to the
new medium. This is an invitation to submit a
short synopsis, propose an article or ideas to be
published as a book. Please send it to the
following e-mail address: vjth-@yahoo.co.uk
*Composing Creative Freedom
Deadline: Monday, August 15, 2005
Every picture, however complex and resonant it
may be, can be broken down into discrete
components. In the world of digital imaging we
call the smallest of these components a pixel. By
all counts, pixels are increasingly inundating
our lives, but the pictures they are drawing may
be far from ideal. In fact, so long as the
commercial interests of multinational
corporations dictate the production and uses of
creative software, we inhabit a picture that is
not our own. Recognizing the power of Open Source
software to add bold strokes to the current
composition, the Bergen Centre for Electronic
Arts (BEK) in Norway organizes Piksel, an event
which is both a festival and a workshop, and
which gathers artists and developers working with
Open Source audiovisual software tools from
around the world for exchanges and discussions.
This year's event, Piksel05, will take place in
Bergen between October 16 -- 23 and the main
focus will be an exhibition in collaboration with
Hordaland ! K!
unstsenter (also in Norway), as well as the
release of Piksel LiveCD, containing software
used and developed at the event. Artists are
invited to submit their work online by August 15.

*Glitch -- Call for Entries
Deadline: Ongoing (posted June 23)
Call for entries -- specifically intellectual
concept based fashion design, wearable
systems/interactive garments, post-harajuku
streetwear, 80esque flash and trash and
interdisciplinary multimedia approaches to
integrating issues dealing with the body,
clothing or technology that are happening *right
now.* Functionality and practicality interest us
from both side of the spectrum. A garment doesn't
necessarily have to function as a piece of
clothing, nor does it have to be practically
wearable. Transitions between fashion, neutral
spaces and virtual spaces fascinate us. Glitch
loves clothing that is smart, seamless and aware
(think cutecircuit). Glitch is a small group of
friends looking to start something refreshing,
fun, and hella rad in Chicago. They're looking
for enthusiastic individuals involved in fashion
based work who have a disregard for run of the
mill industry standards to show their work with
us at our event(forms, stationary and active
models), along with the c!
ircuit-savvy, electro musik makers, sassy space
designers, whoever!! Glitch is currently shooting
for late september for this in Chicago. Want more
info? Wanna get your work out there? Wanna get
involved? Tell us about yourself, share your
ideas, show your work. Feel free to pass this
along to whoever you believe would find an
interest in it. We're pretty much open to almost
anything at the moment..... get in touch!! alix
of resetculture -- alixd-@gmail.com.
