pls. note:
we're sorry the following information is available in german only, as
the interfiction conference/workshop as such is held in german as well.
the main reason for this is that we have no approriate funding to pay
for international travels/flights. however, in case you are able to
follow german talks/discussion, also talks/presentations in english are
welcome; we then might also try to find a solution for the travel costs.
additonally, webbased projects could be featured in a special section of
the interfiction.org website.



interfiction XIII/2006

prosumer culture(s)
DIY-Produktion in einer Arena des Konsums

Call for Papers & Projects

Vom 10.-12. November 2006 findet in Kassel im Rahmen des
23. Dokumentarfilm- und Videofests ein weiteres Mal
die interdisziplinaere Workshop-Tagung interfiction statt.

Thema in diesem Jahr:

prosumer culture(s)
DIY-Produktion in einer Arena des Konsums

Der Begriff 'prosumer' bezeichnet Personen, die
gleichzeitig 'Verbraucher' (engl.: 'consumer')
sowie 'Hersteller' (engl.: 'producer') des von ihnen Verwendeten sind.
1980 von dem amerikanischen Schriftsteller und
Futurologen Alvin Toffler in seinem Buch
"The Third Wave" als Teil einer positiven Utopie
für die Technokultur des 21. Jahrhunderts eingefuehrt,
scheinen die 'prosumer' mittlerweile tatsaechlich
in der Gegenwart angekommen zu sein.
Fragt sich nur, wie die Realitaet (in) einer 'prosumer culture'
aussieht:
Wie funktioniert DIY-Produktion in einer Arena des Konsums?

Dieser und weiteren Fragen rund um das Thema "prosumer culture(s)"
will die diesjährige interfiction-Tagung mit
Vorträgen, Präsentationen und Workshops nachgehen.

Das interfiction-Team laedt KuenstlerInnen,
TheoretikerInnen, VermittlerInnen, EntwicklerInnen u.a.
ein, die Interesse an einem Austausch am Runden
Tisch haben und im Rahmen der Workshop-Tagung
Thesen und Projekte zum Thema vorstellen wollen,
bis 30.07.2006 Vorschlaege fuer Beitraege einzureichen.

Der CFP sowie weiteres Material zum Thema, Basisinfos zur
Workshop-Tagung
und die (e-Mail-)Kontaktadresse fuer Einreichungen finden sich hier:

Forum on the Art and Visual Culture of Eastern Europe

SEMINAR SERIES - CALL FOR PAPERS

Proposals for papers are invited from art historians, curators and artists that examine the art and
visual culture of Eastern Europe during the socialist period. The SocialEast seminars are organised
by MIRIAD Manchester Metropolitan University and will be held at various venues during 2006-7.

Ideology, Art and Documentary, Art and Revolution, or Art and Memory. Further details of the
seminars are given below and on the SocialEast Forum website www.socialeast.org

Please send a 200 word proposal and biographical note to Dr. Reuben Fowkes r.fowkes@mmu.ac.uk by
Monday 31 July 2006.

SocialEast Seminar Series 2006-7

A series of international seminars will be held during 2006-7 to address issues of Art and
Ideology, Art and Documentary, Art and Revolution, and Art and Memory in the context of East
European art and visual culture. The seminars will be accompanied by contemporary art events,
including exhibitions, artists' presentations and film screenings.

No.1 Art and Ideology
Manchester Metropolitan University, Friday 6 October 2006

The focus of the first seminar will be the relationship between art and ideology in the context of
the recent history of East European art. Specific issues that will be addressed include: the writing
and rewriting of East European art history; the role of exhibition strategy, museology and curating
in the reconstruction and reappraisal of the history of art in East Central Europe; contemporary
artists' projects dealing with the legacy of the art of the socialist period from conceptualism to
socialist realism; and theorising the contradictions between national, regional and international
accounts of East European art, both historical and contemporary.

No.2 Art and Documentary

Open Society Archives / Central European University Budapest, 10 November 2006

The second seminar will coincide with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian
Revolution in Budapest, and will include coverage of issues such as: the role of contemporary art in
commemorating historical events from the socialist period, both revolutions and counter-revolutions;
the history and treatment of public monuments in Eastern Europe; relics of socialism in contemporary
visual culture, and the use of photographic and film archives of the socialism in visual research.

No.3 Art and Revolution

Venue and date to be confirmed

The third seminar takes as its primary focus the legacy of political, social and cultural
revolutions for art and visual culture in Eastern Europe. This would include discussion of the role
of the historical avant-garde, the specific trajectory of Conceptual Art in Central Europe, and the
reevaluation of Socialist Realism as an art historical problem in the context of modernism,
post-modernism and the polarised aesthetics of the Cold War.

No.4 Art and Memory

Venue and date to be confirmed

The fourth seminar focuses on the role of artists in excavating memories of the socialist period.
It considers the role of artists, curators and researchers in analysing and processing public
memories and consciousness, as well as the role of visual representations in our understanding and
recoding of Eastern Europe's socialist past. The widespread concern with the endangered memories of
socialism takes place against the backdrop of rapid social and cultural change on the path to
trans-national integration, and the seminar will also deal with the search for alternative models
in art and society.

Irlos: Framework EP
http://store.artificialbliss.com/free_downloads.htm

AMBIENT / ELECTRO

A coollection of previous works from one of our fully-signed artists,
"Framework" is a brilliant combination of electronic-sound manipulation.
Bringing together complex and definitive beats, experimental synth sounds
and deeply immersive ambient textures.

"Framework EP exterminate the abolition world-codemaniacs that was processed
in the surrender-site of the living body junk feeling replicant where turned
on the ill-treatment of a chemical anthropoid data mutant of Irlos' ultra
machinary tragedy-ROM creature system to a hybrid corpse mechanism. Irlos is
disillusioned at the insanity medium of the hyperreal HIV scanners trash
sense of drug fetus reptilian HUB modem heart that hung up the DNA channel
of the corpse city-module. Irlos crashes the paradise apparatus of the human
body pill cruel emulator to the corpse feti streaming circuits of the
biocapturism nerve cells that compressed the acidHUMANIX infectious disease
of a clone boy murder-gimmick of the soul/gram made of retro-ADAM." - Kenji

Call for workshop participation

Mobile Troops - Urban Jungle / Mobile media art

Tuesday 12th of September - Friday 15th of September
at Atelier Nord Oslo/Norway
by Laura Beloff & Erich Berger

Free participation
Application deadline Friday 11th of August
Send applications with CV to sense@anart.no

+

The recent years have witnessed the emergence of mobile
and wireless art works in the media arts. The somewhat
blurry definition "mobile art" is commonly used as a
reference to works, which are incorporating a mobile device
(phone, pda, gps) as a part of the work or which are made
to be viewed on a screen of a mobile device. Various mobile
devices, wireless networks and the concept of technologically
enabeld presence are conditions for this kind of art works.

The wide variety of works (locative media, wearables etc)
under the category of "mobile art" share usually at least
two similarities, they have a technological component as
a vital part of them and they are related to a physical object.

Works, which use mobile media as a critical artistic
medium are not necessarily always inventing new
functions or features for the devices, but are transforming
existing possibilities and by doing it they are exposing
the characteristics of these devices, networks, and the
society using them.

"Mobile troops" ironically points to the fact that we tend to
increasingly equip us with all kinds of necessary interfaces
for surviving the urban jungle. The electronic car key is as
important as mobile phone and credit card. Mobile troops
is a workshop about media art which is mobile,
(possibly) networked, and experimenting with new ideas
and artistic concepts.

Utilizing everyday objects and interfaces, like the
mobile phone, the workshop introduces strategies,
concepts and technologies for artists, designers
and practitioners who are interested in mobile art
and or working with mobile and networked devices.

The workshop will consist of:

* Introduction into the theory and history of mobile art
* Introduction into the technology of mobile art
* Technological infrastructure
* Potential for mobile art
* Concept development and discussions
* Hands on experiments, research and presentations

There is no technological preknowledge necessary.

Tools employed:
Java and Symbian based mobile phones
Mobile Processing
Pure Data
Arduino physical computing platform

Deep Time of the Media
Toward an Archaeology of Hearing and Seeing by Technical Means
By Siegfried Zielinski; Translated by Gloria Custance

A quest to find something new by excavating the "deep time" of media's
development -- not by simply looking at new media's historic
forerunners, but by connecting models, machines, technologies, and
accidents that have until now remained separated.
