ShiftSpace provides a transparent social layer above any website. It is an
open source (and free software) platform that enables users to comment, add
to, and modify websites. ShiftSpace allows users to experience the web as a
continuous public space rather than a collection of isolated and
privately-controlled islands. Through ShiftSpace artists, developers, poets,
activists and others can freely meet, play, create art, debate protest and
enjoy the full potential of their online freedom.

OPENSTUDIO is web + art + community + economics. It is an open ended
experiment that couples a very simple drawing tool with an economy of
artists, curators, collectors, dealers and viewers. Members can create and
modify drawings, set prices and licenses, exchange and exhibit work, view
financial records, and commission one another. Grounded in economic reality,
OPENSTUDIO is a declaration of several ideals: transparency, community, and
cooperation. It asserts that through collaborative effort, creativity and
intelligence can bring about positive change.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Digital Art Weeks Festival 2007 (DAW07)
July 9 - July 14, 2007
ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
http://www.digitalartweeks.ethz.ch/
daw-info@inf.ethz.ch

The Digital Art Weeks is concerned with the application of digital
technology in the arts. It consists of a symposium, workshops, and
performances. The program offers insight into current research and
innovations in art and technology. Artists and researchers will
examine the use of electronic media in articulating the performer's
presence through the possibilities of the multi-sensuality of
electronic media. The possibility of blurring the divide between
public and performer to bond them through the powers of dissemination
and inclusion inherent within the technology used will also be
considered. The organizers of the Digital Art Weeks at ETH Zurich
seek papers, posters, and performances on themes specific to
performance using electronic media. We seek proposals that explore a
concept of the Performative Surround in terms of how computer-
mediated communication and dialog takes place between performers and
viewers and how it tends to aid in dissolving the divide between
performer and viewer.

PERFORMANCES topics include:

* Media Enhanced Artwork in the areas of Performance, Dance and Sound-
Art
* Mobile Art & Music that explore Performer Networking and Audience
Participation
* Digital Puppetry including Enhanced, Waldo, Motion Capture, and
Machinima
* Laptop Music including Live-Coding, Live-Cinema & Live-Re-Scoring
* Installations involving Net-poetry computer mediated communication

PAPERS, POSTERS and DEMONSTRATIONS topics include:

* Current Research and Innovations in Media Enhanced Artwork and
Technology
* Issues Concerning the Live-Electronic Re-Embodiment of the
Performance Artist
* Approaches to Performer Networking and Audience Participation using
Technology
* Technology and Aesthetics of Digital Puppetry
* Approaches to Live-Coding, Live-Cinema & Live-Re-Scoring
* Novel Software Paradigms for Mixed-Media Processing and Authoring

PANEL topics include:

* Software Innovations in Mediated Communication and the Arts
* Live Cinema, Expanded Video, and Film Rescoring
* Immersive Audio and Video Space
* The Dissolve of the Performer-Audience Divide

The purpose of the multimedia festival Break is to explore new
artistic expressions and contemporary topics and to emphasize emerging
poetics whose artistic discourse has not yet been deep-rooted within
firmly established standards, criteria and cultural values.

The ninth edition of the festival, Break 2.4, will take place in
Ljubljana from the 5th to the 18th of November 2007.

We are currently seeking art projects, from established, mid-career,
and emerging artists, that address the theme selected for the
festival: Potemkin village.

Definitions of the Potemkin village
-Pretentiously showy or imposing façade intended to mask or divert
attention from an embarrassing or shabby fact or condition
-Something that appears impressive but is ineffective and insubstantial
-Any hollow or false construction, physical or figurative, meant to
hide an undesirable or potentially damaging situation
-Politically generated appearance that covers a less impressive underside

How to submit, please click: http://www.break-festival.org

The application must include the completed application form,
supporting material, and a project presentation (visual and/or text)
on A4 sheet.
Deadline: February 1, 2007 (postmark)
