Announcement and Call For Proposals
PERVASIVE AND LOCATIVE ARTS NETWORK (PLAN)

A new international and interdisciplinary research network in pervasive
media and locative media has been funded as part of the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Culture & Creativity programme.
The network will bring together practicing artists, technology developers
and ethnographers with the aim of advancing interdisciplinary understanding
and building consortia for future collaborative projects.

The network will stage three major gatherings. Each gathering will have a
distinct form and focus: an initial workshop to launch the network and
assess the state of the art; a technology summer camp for artists and
technologists, including hands-on prototyping sessions using the facilities
at Nottingham's Mixed reality Laboratory; and a major public conference a=
nd
participatory exhibition as a central component of the Futuresonic 2006
festival in Manchester; as well as a supporting web site and other
resources.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS - PLAN Workshop

Submissions are invited to the first of these events, a two day public
workshop with papers, demos and discussion sessions. The aim of the event is
to launch the network, review the state of the art, bring key players in the
field together, and make initial contacts. The event will also aim to
identify a range of specific interests that can lead to the formation of
sub-groups within the network. Position papers and a summary report will
subsequently be published on the network web site.

The workshop will take place in London over two days in the week beginning
24th January 2005. Venue and final dates announced soon.

Please send submissions to ben@open-plan.org by Monday 8th November.

We request that participants seek support for travel and subsistence from
their institutions. For participants without institutional affiliation the
network shall support applications to funding councils and foundations,
please contact us for further details.

THE NETWORK

Pervasive and Locative Arts Network (PLAN) - Enhancing Mobile and Wireless
Technologies for Culture and Creativity

This network will draw together computer scientists and engineers who are
leading the field in developing pervasive and locative technologies; artists
who are using these technologies to create and publicly deploy innovative
and provocative experiences; social scientists with a proven track record of
studying interactive installations and performances; industrial partners
from the creative industries, spanning the arts, television, games,
education, heritage, mobile computing and telecommunications sectors; and
international partners who are coordinating parallel networks around the
world.

NETWORK OBJECTIVES

The network aims to support the formation of a new interdisciplinary
research community to investigate how the convergent fields of pervasive
media and locative media need to evolve in order to support future cultural
and creative activities. Specific network objectives are:
-To review the scope of the research that is currently being carried out in
these fields through a focused workshop, leading to an integrated

composer Jeff Carey.

1.1 ACRE FLAT SCREEN by eteam
Documents a yearlong effort to improve a lot of 1.1 Acre in Utah, which was
purchased by eteam, Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger, in September
2004 on eBay. The video begins with how the artist found their lot in the
desert using satellite images, topographical maps, and a compass and
strings. It displays ideas and thoughts on how to improve the land's value
and documents how the artists prepared to face the unforgiving desert. In
August 2003 Franziska and Hajoe went to their lot and stayed for 10 days in
order to stop a nearby running train. Train stops have often been the first
sign of infrastructural improvement and are also an option to make a living
in the desert.

1.1 Acre Flat Screen was shot on mini DV and is 45 minutes in length. It
was selected for the 2004 New York Video Festival, which took place this
past July at Walter Reade Theater.

VECTOR by Jeff Carey
Explores a 5.1 spatialized environment using FFT Analysis of field
recordings made in the natural and urban environments in Singapore and
Malaysia. Jeff Carey writes, "As in culture shock, things initially seem
exotic, but over time they become more understandable as one begins to
normalize the new information." The piece attempts to reconcile the effect
of discovering 'foreign' sounds by incorporating them into synthesis and
compositional procedures to deconstruct and extend them into new sounds.

The title "Vector", while referring to a quantity that possesses both
magnitude and direction also refers to the idea of traveling the distance
from one culture to another.

eteam
Creates site-specific projects, videos and installations. Their work has
been shown at Transmediale 04; EYEBEAM NY; Grizedale Arts, England; Halle
14, Leipzig; ACC, Weimar; and Momenta Gallery, Brooklyn. Past works include
"Quick Click" and "127 Illuminated Windows" at the LMCC World Trade Center
Residency, NY and "Christmas Tree Farm for Self Cutters", Socrates Sculpture
Park, Queens (in collaboration with D. Seiple).

Jeff Carey
Jeff Carey is computer music composer and performer who studied Audio
Technology at American University and Sonology at the Institute for Sonology
of the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. His work has always centered
around system oriented approached to sound production and composition.
Beginning in 1992 with his project "87 Central" his music was centered
no-input mixer occasionally inject acoustic instrument sounds or field
recordings creating layered rich ambient sound.

More recently, Carey has focused his attention on two specific sound making
activities: his participation as computer instrumentalist in the
electro-acoustic ensemble Office-R(6) and his own acousmatic multichannel
computer compositions.

Office-R(6) is an ensemble of international origin (The Netherlands,
Turkey, Norway, USA) and deals primarily with structured yet open form
improvisations overcoming the cliche results of improvisation, slow build to
climax, with systems that demand understanding and concentration from every
player allowing material to be developed and abandoned collectively at any
moment. Not an average
"Jazz" band, Office-R(6) sounds very abstract and sound based rather than
explicitly tonal or clearly rhythmic; "They make music which commands the
listeners most intimate attention." (Anne LaBerge)

His computer compositions strive to distance the composer from the specific
placement of every sound or even the explicit definition of each element
allowing him to construct a piece of music by defining and specifying
generalizations like behavior rather than particularly sequenced sound
events.

In 1996 Carey started radiantslab.com to host record labels and composers,
musicians, and sound artists, as well as online collaborations and a small
mail order cd shop and along with his regular musical activities, Carey has
composed music for dance, short film, television, CD, and DVD releases.

Hot Enough? Art, Activism and Wireless Technology During the Republican National Convention


Hot Enough? Art, Activism and Wireless Technology During the Republican
National Convention
Mon., Sept. 27, 7:00 p.m. $8
The Republican National Convention in late August will give rise to a wave
of artistic projects employing wireless technology to make specific
political statements. Unexpectedly, the RNC thus provides a common focus and
purpose to diverse and divergent initiatives and, in hindsight, enables us
to assess their efficiency. Wireless technology is one of the most exciting
new developments for political activism. Relatively inexpensive, accessible,
and packing tremendous punch with at times just one individual at its
origin, it can be used as a tool of protest or opinion-making--the flip side
of the near-pervasive electronic surveillance under which we now live. This
panel examines how artists employ wireless technology to reach unprecedented
masses, to recast the concept of "collaboration," to redefine and politicize
the urban environment, and to achieve unparalleled levels of immediacy.
Participants include: Yury Gitman (The Magic Bike ); Natalie Jeremijenko,
The Bureau of Inverse Technology, and onetrees.org ( clean air?, antiterror
line, sparrow line ); Joshua Kinberg (Bikes Against Bush ); neuroTransmitter
and others to be announced. Organized by the Vera List Center for Art and
Politics, on occasion of Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art, and the City, a
wireless event organized by NYCwireless, Downtown Alliance, and the Lower
Manhattan Cultural Council. Co-sponsored by the Design and Technology
Department, Parsons School of Design, and the Department of Communication,
The New School.
