Subtle Technologies presents

Open Culture: Participatory Practices in Art & Science
16-25 May 2014, Toronto

In May 2014, Subtle Technologies will be holding its 17th annual festival in Toronto.

Deadline: 20 January 2014

Our symposium, performances, workshops, screenings, exhibitions and networking sessions provide a forum to explore ideas and pose questions at the intersection of art, science and technology. Subtle Technologies is known internationally for presenting artists and scientists whose work is at the leading edge of their respective disciplines and creating a space for dialogue that leads to future discussions and collaborations.

Our theme for 2014 is “Open Culture“. The festival will celebrate the ways artists and scientists are creating and making use of tools and techniques to harness the collective power, knowledge and creativity of the citizen. Bringing together artists and scientists who are working in these domains will open streams of dialogue leading to increased collaboration between artists and scientists who are interested in contributions of an engaged public. We are currently accepting submissions by artists, curators and scientists on the ideas presented below as well as others that fall under the umbrella of participatory culture.

One of the topics we would like to explore is citizen science. There are numerous current examples, such as “SETI at Home”, EyeWire, Galaxy Zoo and foldit. These projects allow the public to contribute to large online science endeavours. Citizen science projects are not without controversy. The recently announced project uBiome is a crowd-sourced project that invites volunteers to have the makeup of microbes on their body analyzed. They are facing a large outcry from ethicists on the ethics and privacy issues that their project to date hasn’t addressed. We welcome submissions that explore the role of citizen science, benefits, pitfalls, mechanisms, philosophy and ethics surrounding non-scientists involved in scientific research.

Another related movement in contemporary science is open science. This concept suggests that scientists share their data as quickly as possible, allowing others to benefit from and make use of their research. “Open notebook science” implies the dissemination of both raw and processed scientific data as it is captured. We would like to invite practitioners, advocates and critics of open science to contribute submissions to our festival.

The festival will also explore the ways artists invoke participatory culture in the creation of tools and artworks. Media artists have fully engaged in the networked world and are making use of mobile networks and ubiquitous computing in their artworks. These technologies allow for real time interaction and data collection. With the recent movement towards Open Data in cities, artists are finding a wealth of data sets generated by citizens to create art that explores the ebb and flow of the city through the visualization and sonification of that data. Media artists drive a number of open source projects that harness the collective knowledge of others to develop powerful open source creative tools such as Pure Data, Processing and Dynebolic. These tools and others have become the “Swiss Army Knives” of contemporary media artists. The recent rise of popularity in hacker spaces and maker communities see the fusion of artists, technologists and scientists coming together to co-operatively create projects which straddle the art/science/technology boundaries. We would like to present some of these projects as well as discuss the DIY movement in general terms as it relates to art and science. Crowdsourcing has become an integral element in the recent rise of participatory culture. We are seeking submissions that discuss this and other creative approaches to empowering individuals and collectives to realize their goals.

We are interested in these and other interpretations of our theme across disciplines and cultures. Our 2014 festival will explore open culture and participatory practices through exhibitions, workshops, panels, screenings, a symposium and poster session. All selected participants will be paid a small honorarium for their participation, however please note that we are usually unable to provide travel expenses.

Before submitting your proposal, please take a look at the archives on our website to get a sense of our previous programming. We encourage you to state clearly how your submission relates to our theme and festival, and to be as precise as possible in your project description, especially on the following points:

– Symposium presentations: please submit in clear terms the subject matter you would like to cover in your talk. Presentations are typically between 20 to 45 minutes.

– Curatorial ideas: please submit a curatorial statement with a list of artists whenever possible.

– Workshop ideas: please include the number of participants the workshop is geared towards as well as space and technical requirements.

– Exhibitions: please outline basic space and technical requirements.

– Performances: please outline basic space and technical requirements.

This call for proposal is free to enter and must be submitted via our dedicated online form.

For any questions, please contact Fanny Martin, General Manager, at fanny [arobas] subtletechnologies [point] com.

We look forward to your submission and hope to see you in Toronto in the spring of 2014.

Appel de candidatures – New Technological Art Award (NTAA) de la Fondation Liedts-Meesen (Gand, Belgique)

Début de l’appel de candidatures : 1er décembre 2013
Date limite de dépôt des candidatures : 31er mars 2014
Exposition : du 8 au 23 novembre 2014

Zebrastraat: centre de connaissances
Au cours des dernières années, Zebrastraat Gand a évolué jusqu’à devenir un véritable centre de connaissances, portant un intérêt marqué pour l’art. Tous les deux ans, le New Technological Art Award (NTAA) tente de combler une lacune dans le monde traditionnel de l’art, en prêtant attention aux développements technologiques qui poussent notre culture mondiale.

NTAA sélectionne et présente des créations où la technologie sur le plan de la genèse de la culture joue un rôle central. Qu’elles soient de basse ou de haute technologie, intuitives ou expérimentales, ces créations attirent toujours notre attention sur les tendances novatrices de notre époque. L’exposition des réalisations des lauréats sélectionnés est une boussole qui nous oriente vers l’utilisation pertinente et novatrice de la technologie dans le monde des arts.

Un nouveau volet consiste en la sélection, par des spécialistes de divers secteurs, d’oeuvres clés du monde de l’art, des découvertes scientifiques ou des percées novatrices, qui ont considérablement changé notre façon de vivre et de penser. Ces objets ou concepts forment la base d’une présentation et d’une perception séparées, tout en interagissant avec les œuvres des lauréats du NTAA.

Colloquium ‘Immortalité’
A l’occasion de l’exposition Update_4 à Zebrastraat à Gand, à École Nationale Supé­rieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre et iMAL à Bruxelles, un colloque fut organisé autour du thème « l’immortalité dans l’art ». Des directeurs de musée, des restaura­teurs, des philosophes, des artistes et des chercheurs ont réfléchi sur la survie phy­sique et symbolique des oeuvres d’art et plus spécifiquement d’oeuvres liées à l’infor­matique ou à la technologie. Il est clair que les paradigmes traditionnels concernant la préservation et la conservation sont sous pression. Cela soulève de nouvelles questions sur ce qui peut et doit être sauvegardée. Grâce à la réalisation de « parti­tions », qui jouent le rôle de guide, il devient possible de reproduire une œuvre d’art, ce qui mène à une nouvelle interprétation du concept de son authenticité. Les résultats de ce colloque de trois jours sont publiés en ligne avec des textes et des images.

Call for festival curators:
Impakt Festival 2014
Soft Machines (working title)

29 October–2 November 2014

Deadline for application: 20 January 2014

www.impakt.nl

The Impakt Festival is the annual culmination of the activities of Impakt as an organisation that specialises in critical media culture: a multi-media festival with conferences, talks, performances, screenings, exhibitions, presentations and music. The Impakt Festival 2014 will take place from 29 October until 2 November at several locations in Utrecht (NL). Curatorial proposals can be submitted by curators individually or collectively and should revolve around this year’s theme Soft Machines (working title): Where the Optimized Human meets Artificial Empathy.
Soft Machines (working title)
Where the Optimized Human meets Artificial Empathy
Artificial intelligence is a concept that appeals to the imagination. The ‘Singularity,’ the moment at which computers become more intelligent than people, is a utopia for some and a nightmare for others. But what about the emotional and empathetic capabilities of computers and machines? Humans are naturally inclined to ascribe feelings to machines. At this point in time, robotic nurse assistants are already carrying out important work in nursing homes, and computers and mathematical models are playing an increasingly greater role in ethical decision-making. But when is there a question of the capability of real empathy? Can humans actually deal with robots that in terms of appearance and behaviour almost can’t be distinguished from real people? Is interacting with robots culturally determined? What happens when we increasingly computerize the world and the influence of humans fades away into the background? Under the influence of medical, psychiatric and sociological insights, human beings are increasingly being viewed as machines that can be controlled and improved. Are the complexity of our products and systems and the extensive computerization and ‘dehumanization’ causing an erosion of the material and ideological basis of our society?

Machines might be resembling people more and more, but isn’t the real revolution taking place on the other side of the line, where the human psyche is slowly being changed by our interaction with computers?

Submission dates

Deadline: 20 January 2014

Notification: 20 February 2014

The curator or curatorial team can be responsible for the entire festival programme comprising films, lectures, new media projects, presentations, a music programme and an exhibition. It is also possible to submit a proposal for one or some of the parts of the festival programme. Read the submission guidelines here.

Glenfiddich Issues Call to Canadian Artists to Enter Competition for the Coveted
2014 Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize

Submissions: Open Now

Glenfiddich is issuing a Call to Artists currently living and creating art in Canada to enter the internationally renowned competition for the prestigious 2014 Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize.

The Canadian winner will be one of only eight artists worldwide to be awarded the art community’s coveted prize to live and work at the Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. The three-month residency valued at $20,000 per artist represents the Glenfiddich commitment to the arts and the communities it serves.

Now in its 12th year internationally and 10th in Canada, the Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize attracts nearly 150 submissions across Canada from the visual arts. The prize covers the cost of travel, living expenses and materials throughout the residency. From the submissions, five jury members choose eight finalists and ultimately one winner.

The distinguished jury for the selection of the Canadian Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize includes, Dr. Sara Diamond, president of OCAD University, Gaetane Verna, director of The Power Plant, Kitty Scott, curator of modern and contemporary art at AGO, Julian Sleath, programming manager of special events, economic development & culture at the City of Toronto, and the Canadian 2008 Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize recipient, Dave Dyment.

While living in crofts (traditional small Scottish farm houses), artists are encouraged to find inspiration from the unique setting in the Scottish Highlands. The experience provides an opportunity unlike any other for artists to work in an international community, share in a dialogue with other artists and foster cross-disciplinary ideas.

Andy Fairgrieve, curator, Glenfiddich Artists in Residence Prize underscores that, “The program’s ethos is about encouraging people to take inspiration from their experience living at the distillery, whether that be the pioneering heritage of Glenfiddich, the surrounding environment, or the daily life of the distillery and local community, and to be as pioneering as possible – a mission our artists live and breathe during their three-month residency.”

The Glenfiddich Artist-in-Residence Prize has sponsored over 90 artists since its inception in 2002. The Prize is open for submissions Saturday November 30, 2013 and must be received by midnight eastern time Friday, January 31, 2014

Witt Residency Program

The mission of the Roman J. Witt Residency Program is to support the production of new work with assistance from the Stamps School community. The program awards one residency per academic year for a visiting artist/designer to work at the school to develop a new work in collaboration with students and faculty. A centerpiece of the residency is the open studio, a centrally located studio space that is part of the school’s main gallery where the resident carries out work in a public domain. This public visibility of the artist/designer’s process is intended as a teaching tool for the school as a whole. The residency is expected to culminate in the realization of the proposed work, as well as a presentation that summarizes the process and work accomplished.

Eligibility

The Witt Residency is open to both established and emerging artists/designers. The Witt residency provides students a alternative learning opportunity to engage with practicing artists/designers who make use of resources across campus. Therefore, the ideal candidate must value collaboration, have good social and communication skills and be interested in generating creative partnerships across disciplines. It is the goal of the Witt Residency to foster an atmosphere of inventive creative activity that extends throughout the University community.

Honorarium

Witt Residents receive an honorarium of $20,000 for up to twelve weeks in residence served over one academic year. There is flexibility in how the time in residence is apportioned. In addition to the honorarium, residents will be provided with housing, studio space, and up to $5,000 funding support for project materials. The School encourages applications from individuals as well as from creative teams however, please be advised that the resources listed above are finite, including the travel budget. If teams apply the expectation is that the award will be shared among its members.

How to Apply

The Witt Residency Program’s application process is conducted using SlideRoom, an online review system. Applicants register and submit their application materials on the SlideRoom website using the Stamps School’s portal. SlideRoom is web-based, so all applicants need is an Internet connection and a modern web browser – there is nothing to download or install.

Atelier Topaz – résidence 
Opasatika, Ontario, Canada
Le lieu
Situés au cœur de la forêt boréale, les Ateliers Topaz sont à la fois un lieu de retraite et un centre de création pour artistes, toutes disciplines confondues. L’endroit parfait pour la réflexion, l’évasion. Le groupement d’édifices fait 900 mètres carrés et repose sur 14 hectares face à la route Transcanadienne. Il donne sur un étang de deux hectares. Topaz c’est la « Route 66 » dans le nord de l’Ontario. L’endroit, modeste et nostalgique, rappelle aussi les grandes épopées de la colonisation francophone de l’Ontario. Ces studios de création ou cette résidence d’artistes, endroit idéal pour les arts visuels, sont situés au centre du Canada, à mi-chemin entre l’Atlantique et le Pacifique, là où les étoiles deviennent les topazes de la nuit.
Ce qu’on offre
D’abord l’espace et, l’espace de travail déterminés selon les besoins de l’artiste. Les espaces polyvalents permettent d’y faire de la peinture, de la sculpture, de l’installation, etc. L’atelier de menuiserie, le Bar à clou, est équipé des outils de base. Un magasin d’objets trouvés est disponible autant pour l’inspiration que pour l’utilisation dans une œuvre. Le peintre apporte ses pinceaux, le musicien son instrument et l’écrivain son ordi.

Les personnes qui séjournent aux Ateliers Topaz jouissent de l’accès à la cuisine et sont responsables de préparer leurs repas. Toutefois Laurent peut aussi leur cuisiner de petits plats typiquement canadiens-français aux besoins ou aux désirs. 

Topaz possède deux suites avec lit double et une chambre avec lit simple. Chacune possède sa salle de toilette avec douche. Ces installations évoquent admirablement le style des années 1960. 

Pour la baignade, le Lac des Cœurs se situe à deux kilomètres à l’est. Pour le canotage ou la pèche, la rivière Opasatika est deux kilomètres à l’ouest. Pour se déplacer, il y a de vieux vélos ou la marche. Pour un frais très raisonnable, votre hôte peut aussi vous conduire ou organiser un déplacement vers Kapuskasing à l’est ou vers Hearst à l’ouest. 

Les matériaux d’artistes ne sont pas disponibles dans la région. Il est donc important de faire vos achats avant votre séjour, à moins que vous travailliez avec des matériaux que l’on peut se procurer dans des magasins ordinaires ou même en nature.

“The re-building of Seattle’s waterfront is the biggest physical transformation Seattle will undergo in my lifetime,” said Office of Arts & Culture director Randy Engstrom. “We have the opportunity here to make the waterfront into a space that’s beloved by all Seattle residents and visitors—and art will play a major role in creating that kind of space.” 

As outlined in the Working Plan for Art on the Central Seattle Waterfront, commissions and ongoing cultural programming are part of the construction process for the waterfront. This includes a major commission, envisioned as a centerpiece for the Waterfront, for Pier 62/63 or the Union Street Pier. Completion of this work will help accomplish goals around engagement of residents and visitors and making the Waterfront an active cultural center for the city.  The art plan advocates for “cultural connections between the city and the rest of the world.” The pier site-proposal for this commission links to Seattle’s history as a port, and to connections between the local and the global on the waterfront. This call responds to the significance of the piers as markers of that history, and should result in a work of global significance.
About the Office of Arts & Culture | Making art work.
We envision a city driven by creativity that provides the opportunity for everyone to engage in diverse arts and cultural experiences. We are supported by the 16-member Seattle Arts Commission, citizen volunteers appointed by the mayor and City Council.

88 Scott Call for Credentials
Public Art Management (PAM) is the public art project manager for a major downtown mixed-use development project by Concert Properties Limited (‘Owner”) named 88 Scott (“the Project”), situated in the heart of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As the first stage of the public art planning process, PAM is issuing this Call To Artists (“Call”) to initiate the first of a three-stage selection process to identify artists willing to work with the team in the creation of outstanding public art works for this Project in downtown Toronto.

It is anticipated that the commercial component of the project will be completed by the Spring of 2017. The artworks should be delivered in conjunction with the delivery of this space. The purpose of this Call is to identify a pool of artists and/or artist teams that will be considered for one or both public art locations for the Project.

The public art program intends to commission distinctive, urban scale, meritorious works by exemplary Canadian and/or international artists for select locations within the Project. The artworks must reflect the best of contemporary art practice and be suitable in materials, form and content.

There are two public art locations for consideration, they are as follows:

Location 1: Public Atrium

The primary public art location for 88 Scott is the two-storey L-Shaped atrium on the south east corner of the site, diagonally opposite Berczy Park. The space measures approximately 26 metres long, and 7 metres wide along the “stem” of the “L” and 5m long and 7m wide at the “base” (please see Appendix 3, Location
1). The atrium has a height of nearly 9 metres and is a prime location for a suspended work of art. The reconstructed 4 metre high glass portals at grade, 2 metre high windows above, and a 2 storey glazed section along the west side of the mid-century building will offer excellent views into the atrium from Scott Street, Wellington Street, as well as Berczy Park, beckoning those outside to come in for a closer look. The atrium will also have prominent ground floor views from the retail space at grade into the atrium, and from the second floor office space looking down in to the atrium. We are not encouraging a large-scale ground-based element due to the limited width of the atrium, at approximately 7 metres wide, and the potential future retail uses within the atrium. The potential for a suspended sculptural and/or lighting installation would be optimal due to its indoor location which therefore protects the artwork from the elements as well as vandalism. The suspended artwork will invite pedestrians into the public atrium from the immediate surrounding area, and act as a beacon for the corner of Wellington and Scott Streets, with a great deal of visibility from the exterior.

Location 2: Wellington Street Entranceway and Soffit

The public art will also have an exterior expression within the soffit area of the cantilevered office space above what will be a vibrant retail boulevard, and could potentially move above the commercial entrance of the development and flow into the atrium space. This space measures approximately 32m long, 2m wide, and would suspend from the underside of the cantilevered second floor office down about 1m (see Appendix 3, Location 2).The underside of the soffit along Wellington Street was chosen as a secondary location for the public art opportunity as it may interfere with future retail signage and business operations.
A surface and/or subtle lighting treatment, or combination thereof, could act as an intimately-scaled feature for the public in an area with high pedestrian traffic and minimal lighting that may act as a starting/marking point for the primary art location in the public atrium, guiding the public into the site.

Public Art Budget: $540,000*
*includes artist design fees, fabrication, delivery, and installation of artwork

Professional artists are invited to submit their credentials for consideration by PAM and the Owner. Artists who are experienced in creating large, permanent, urban scale works for interior and exterior locations and artists who have successfully worked in collaborative projects are invited to enter.

One artist/artist team will be considered/selected for the whole of the project, meaning the selected artist will commission artworks for both sites, with emphasis on Location One. Location Two will be seen more as an introductory artwork that leads viewers into the atrium.

For Stage One, PAM is seeking artists to submit:
• no more than 10 images, a CV (or one for each member of the team, if applicable)
• the names and contact information of two references
• a signed PDF or JPEG copy of the Agreement to Propose
• an anticipated and approximate design fee
• your availability between now and the Spring of 2017

The Agreement to Propose can be found near the end of the document under the heading Appendix #1 (See http://www.publicartmgmt.com/pressreleases/88scott.pdf). Please print, fill out and sign, and scan or photograph the completed form and send to the art consultant via email.

Artists may advance in the program based on a professional review of their qualifications, profile and past work. Future commissions will be awarded following a second stage, whereby preferred artists may be interviewed and concepts may be submitted. To be eligible for this program, applicants must be professional artists; that is, artists who are recognized as such by their peers, who have specialized training in the field, and who have a history of public exhibition (exhibitions in museums and public galleries).

It is anticipated that the subsequent stages of the competition, including the selection/awarding of the commission, by mid-late 2014.

Please note we are not seeking existing artworks offered for sale under any circumstances whatsoever.

The deadline for this Call for Credentials is January 31, 2014 @ 11:59PM EST.

Should you have any questions concerning this process or the submission requirements, please send written question to Ben Mills at: 88scottpublicart [arobas] gmail [point] com
