The aim of this Award is to promote the research, production, and exhibition of art linked to new technologies, or new media art. The art pieces are submitted by commercial galleries participating to the Madrid Contemporary Art Fair ARCO. It was a real pleasure to discuss with the other members of the jury: curator and art critic Domenico Quaranta, Fernando Castro from the Reina Sof?a National Museum, the mythical art critic Arnau Puig and the charming artist Marie-France Veyrat. It was the fastest jury deliberation i had ever attended in my life. Although most entries were of remarkable quality, the work that stood out was a triptych part of the EKMRZ-Trilogy, by UBERMORGEN.COM. Presented for the first time as a single installation on view until the end of the art fair at the booth of Fabio Paris Gallery, this "e- commerce trilogy" is the outcome of almost four years of work which i'm sure most of you are quite familiar with. Its episodes are called: - GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself, an operation aiming at buying Google with Google's own money (in collaboration with Alessandro Ludovico and Paolo Cirio) - Amazon Noir - The Big Book Crime steals books from Amazon and distribute them free on the web (in collaboration with Alessandro Ludovico and Paolo Cirio) - and The Sound of eBay which generates music using eBay user data. Fabio Paris Gallery had made a rather audacious challenge in choosing to present the EKMRZ-Trilogy and i'm delighted to see that audacity pays once in a while. The ARCO installation presents the iconography and mythology of the trilogy by means of prints, a google cheque, projections, music, animations, etc. You can visit it at the Pavilion 6 of ARCO, it is part of Expanded Box, the section dedicated to the intertwining of technologies and art. On occasion of the event, FPEditions is publishing the book UBERMORGEN.COM. And if you live in the area of Milan, you might want to check out the Fabio Paris Art Gallery itself which is showing the world preview of the Austrian duo's latest project Superenhanced, which is dedicated to the issue of torture. --- Domenico Quaranta mob. +39 340 2392478 email. qrndnc@yahoo.it home. vicolo San Giorgio 18 - 25122 brescia (BS) web. http://www.domenicoquaranta.net/ "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

Message-ID: <49914E6B.2050902@btinternet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed ******Apologies for cross-posting******** Media Art PhD scholarships at the University of Westminster, London, UK. Dear people, please forward to those you feel may benefit. Applications are now being invited for two full-time studentships - each worth ?15,000 a year ? in the University?s Centre for Research in Education, Art and Media (CREAM), in School of Media Art and Design. The scholarships will start in October 2009 and run for three years. The deadline for applications is 5pm, 3rd March 2009 (UK, GMT). The scholarships encourage both practice-led and theoretical applications that formulate approaches to art making through new and emerging media. Scholarship subject areas are outlined below. However we encourage a broad interpretation of these and would be interested in receiving quality applications covering a range of related topics including Art and Science relationships, Interactive Arts, Software Art or any topic that scrutinises the intersections of art, society, technology and science and/or are interdisciplinary in nature. Visual design applications will also be considered if they develop critical and innovatory approaches that fit the profile of research at CREAM. 1. Art and Computation: the Aesthetics of Information Areas include critical and aesthetic approaches to data-mapping, visualisation, interactive and behavioural arts, robotics, emergence etc. 2. Art on the Web Areas of art practice include critical and aesthetic explorations of the net as a site for art, and broad approaches to the idea of the network as a metaphoric and heterogeneous site that encompasses inter and cross disciplinary approaches to art making, i.e. practices that weave across subject domains to create new areas of critical practice and aesthetic object. Further information about these topics can be found here: http://www.wmin.ac.uk/page-17662 Applicants would hold, or expect to be awarded, a 2.1 honours degree or above and preferably a Masters degree and should, where relevant, demonstrate English Language competence of at least IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.

With regard to the thesis that nowadays we do not exist in a cultural environment anymore, neither in a textual or literate, nor in a visual or iconological. Being existent in a post cultural word leads to some hitherto veiled entities, such as the non-existence of gender or the non existence of polarity, or dogma for that matter Researching these questions is the subject of our call for submission Post Cultural Interrogations Participate?

It presents scenes, incidents, encounters, and sensory experiences drawn from everyday life, in which concepts are not only elaborated but enacted. Version works in close-up, cultivating moods, atmospheres, and various forms of bodily apprehension and awareness. It aims for a quality of intimacy, presence, and affective charge: a material openness to unexpected forms of encounter. At the same time, it works laterally, conducting transversal operations across object-boundaries, attuned to the rhythms, flows, and layered ecologies that constitute the phenomenal world. Each Version editorial item adheres to the following formal constraint: a maximum of 500 words, 5 images, or 50 seconds. With its formal and rhetorical approach, Version embodies new patterns of readership and network-enabled economies of attention, which can involve time-constrained multitasking and transversal readings across media venues. It spans specialized discourses, genre categories, and disciplinary divides, while encouraging the reception, rearrangement and redistribution of its material in new social networks and assemblages. It is less a bounded publication than an editorial ecology -- a dynamic system through which unexpected editorial properties and forms can emerge. - Version is produced by the Visual Arts Department, University of California, San Diego; the UCSD Division of Arts and Humanities; the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2); and the Software Studies Initiative. Editors: Jordan Crandall and Caleb Waldorf. Website Design and Development: Caleb Waldorf and John W. Pattenden-Fail. Additional support provided by the UCSD Center for the Humanities; the University of California Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA); the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA); and the University of California Digital Arts Research Network (UC DARnet). ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:22:20 +0100 From: "Farah Hatam" <hatam@drfz.de> Subject: <nettime-ann> Max/Msp/Jitter 5 : a 5 day Project-OrientedWorkshop with Jeremy Bernstein, Peter Castine, John Dekron Berlin March30-Apr3 To: <nettime-l@kein.org> Message-ID: <7BE519A9765D854BA7A088320F84A37A01F42607@mail.drfz.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Max/Msp/Jitter 5 : a Project-Oriented Workshop with Jeremy Bernstein, Peter Castine, and John Dekron.

From solicitous debates around intellectual property to the recent maritime hijackings off the Horn of Africa, piracy looms large in the twenty-first century. This special issue of darkmatter seeks to engage critically with the politics of piracy. As in the 17th and 18th centuries, piracy today is an activity that often takes place at the so-called periphery of metropolitan capitalism. Piracy challenges the primitive accumulationand wage labour discipline of capitalism at large, while recapitulating and amplifying its violence. This special issue is interested in work that explores how and why modern piracy emerges against the backdrop of neo/colonial relations of production. Possible topics might include: * Piracy as the expression/outside of global capitalism; * Piracy and inter/transnational law, property rights and human rights; * Piracy and the War on Terror; * Media piracy and the geopolitics of the culture industry; * The pirate as a celebrated and reviled figure of rebellion and neo/colonial resistance; * Outlaws, pirates and poachers in media studies, cultural studies and philosophy; * Freebooters, pirates and buccaneers, and their place in capitalist and neo/colonial relations of production; * The cultural politics of race, digital reproduction and p2p file-sharing technologies; * Racialized representations and performativity of the pirate and piracy in film, animation, art and literature * The pirate as a figure of trangressive dis/ability. Articles between 1,500 - 8,000 words are welcome, as are alternative format submissions such as commentaries, reviews, audio, visual and digital contributions. Please submit an 300 - 500 word abstract if you are interested.
