App goes art//Art goes App contest by ZKM: 10,000 Euro

An idea many of us have talked about over the last few years, for example at the Mobile Art&&Code event, and the Mobile Music Workshops,  is now happening in Germany: The ZKM (Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe)  collaborates with a few partners to present the International AppArtAward 2011. They “select the best works of art in app format that have advanced to artistic applications and/or have distinguished themselves as technically outstanding software solutions.” I’m hoping that we’ll see many sound and music apps in this contest!

They encourage applications from “software developers and artists, as well as all fans of app with creative and innovative applications”.  The deadline is The submission deadline is Read the rest of this entry »

‘Mobile Media and Interactive Arts’ at Carnegie Mellon University 6-8 Nov 09

Golan Levin is organising an event dedicated to ‘Mobile Media and Interactive Arts’ at Carnegie Mellon University from the 6th to the 8th of November. Many presenters and organisers of the Mobile Music Workshops will be there, including Lalya Gaye, Teri Rueb, Jürgen Scheible, and myself. The other presenters have also used sound and music in their works, or have other really exciting mobile media work, and I’m really looking forward to all their presentations and hands-on workshops. Check out the website and I hope to see many of you there! I’ll present a paper “Towards a history of mobile phone arts”, that will (of course) have a  sonic and musical focus, while looking at the bigger picture of a decade of mobile phone art, and pointing out some historic framework that suggests even a century of mobile phone arts – kind of…we will see.

The event website announces:
ART && CODE is an event series and online community dedicated to the democratization of computer programming for artists, young people, and the rest Read the rest of this entry »

EXPLOITS IN THE WIRELESS CITY

OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS  Deadline 25th Nov 2008

Since the abundant proliferation of digital communication technology, our (living) space has been expanded, transformed, reshaped. In our everyday lives we increasingly connect to mediated interfaces, be it consciously or without knowing. Digital media is increasingly integrated seamlessly into all areas of everyday life and work. The so-called “virtual worlds” created in this way are merging ever more dynamically with our physical environment generating new hybrid spaces, becoming a fixed part of our reality themselves.
Our cities are increasingly pervaded by data networks, watched over by cameras, skinned by media facades, populated by users of mobile communication devices carried around with every step. “City” itself has become a media space, a complex Read the rest of this entry »

Sousveillance – the counterpart to surveillance, where the ‘observed’ turns around, to face and watch the ‘observer’, recording the observers actions and movements.

When and Where
January 2009 in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, East Midlands, UK

What it is
Even as we enter a period of recession, there may be yet a glimmer of hope.  Are we facing an about turn from the last 30 years of Milton Friedman inspired economics that has left our cities wastelands of corporate monoculture?  If so, there are still a few questions left unanswered…

In an era when the phrase “affects a conservation area” has been no obstacle to the planning application for a shopping centre housing solely global brands; when 12 million pounds has been spent in the East Midlands for extending CCTV systems that have miserable figures for reducing crime; when urban regeneration means the extension of the corporate high street to the exclusion of independent, local communities; when half of the entire UK population now Read the rest of this entry »
