2. CONSTRUCTING COLLECTIVE MEMORY
(deadline 24 March 2006)
is a call from Argentina addressed to the national and international art community
on occasion of the 30th return of the military coups in Argentina -
on 24 March 1976 - (1976-2006)

Any type of work whether in form of a a testimory, a reflection or investigation related to
the traumatic experiences caused by the military ruling is welcome.

The project of Constructing Collective Memory has found a broad basis
of funding and support in Argentina and belongs to the engaged
activities in art and politics by ArteUna - a collective from Buenos Aires.

The rules and entry conditions can be found on
http://netex.nmartproject.net/index.php?blog=8&cat%

The [NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne - www-nmartproject.net
is particularly recommending a participation in this project,
as democracy as it known in the Western countries is widely unknown
in most other parts on the globe. Persecution of different minded and minorities,
imprisoning and torture are well known methods to break people's will,
happening each day anywhere, and also Western democracies are no exception.

Participating, is an act of solidarity and a demonstration against all who
violate human rights and dignity these days.
So, what happened in Argentina, is reality in many countries nowadays,
but we all who are aware of that have to care that what happened in Argentina
must not happen again anywhere on our globe -
for our own survival sake.

With this message,
NetEX - networked experience and its team
http://netex.nmartproject.net

wishes all its friends and visitors a
Merry Christmas and a Peaceful Happy New Year 2006 !!!

deadline 31 December 2005

VideoChannel
http://videochannel.newmediafest.org
suit of calls for videos

1. theme: gender identity
2. theme: identity of colour
3. theme: totalitarism
******************************
1. call for videos on theme "gender identity
deadline 31 December 2005
--->
In a times when the traditional role of being "male" and "female" in society
has lost its meaning, a male expresses his female, and a female her male components of
their personality, when sexuality is not reduced to being straight or gay,
but countless mixed forms of human existance can be lived,
defining oneself in a gender specific context may become
an essential question.
The call is inviting artists to reflect their own or the subject of male, female, gay,
lesbian, transgender etc identity via the medium of video.

Details and entry form can be found on
NetEX - internal announcements
http://weblog.nmartproject.net/index.php?blog=8&catT
or http://weblog.nmartproject.net/index.php?blog=3&cat

2. call for videos on the theme "identity of colour"
deadline 31 December 2005
-->
The theme is going down to the essential role and influence of colour
on any part of human life. The strong symbolism of the colours expresses itself
in language and art, the signal effect of colour is used in advertiosing and design,
colour take psychological influence on the unconsciousness, perception and emotion.
What would be the world without colour? So what is the identity of colour?

3. call for videos on the theme "totalitarism"
deadline 31 December 2005
As a part of the global networking project [R][R][F]2005--->XP,
the view on "totalitarism" may be historically related as well as reflecting
"totalitarian" structures nowadays.
And while looking closer, one will recognize that traces of totalitarism can be found
anywhere in society, politics and culture and everybody's life.
But totalitarism can only exist if people let it happen actively or passively.
