April Guthrie and Cassia Streb CONCERTS featuring new works by CalArts composers
Hello All,
I havent seen any publicity for this concert via email so here goes:
April Guthrie and Cassia Streb are putting on a concert series at CalArts of new works by CalArts composers. They are fabulous performers playing music by some really interesting composers so you should definitely go to these concerts. If you dont go, people will point and laugh at your expense; you will find garbage and dirty laundry in you locker; locusts will spread through your corn devouring your entire crop; and if CalArts has a jockhe will give you a wedgy; but most importantlyI will cry.

The Rejection Show: Q & A Edition "Failure is fun!"
The Rejection Show returns to P.S. 122 on Tuesday, OCTOBER 18TH. This month the show will feature some of New York's finest rejected writers and performers forming our first ever rejection panel for a Q & A session with our audience. More performers, shorter segments, you ask the questions!
Created and produced by writer and comedian, Jon Friedman, The Rejection Show is a comedic based event that embraces the rejected and turned down material of writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and human beings whom display their creative failures live on stage.
Tremendous Rabbit Productions Presents:
THE REJECTION SHOW Performance Space 122
OCTOBER 18TH 8PM HOSTED BY JON FRIEDMAN
Featuring the rejections of:
CHELSEA PERETTI, BOB POWERS, ADAM WADE, NICK KROLL, ADAM MUTTERPERL, JULIE KLAUSNER, ADRIANNE FROST & SPECIAL GUEST CARTOONISTS FROM THE NEW YORKER CAROLITA JOHNSON, SAM GROSS, & MATT DIFFEE
And as always, more fun rejection surprises!
What are they saying about us?
"On the surface, The Rejection Show is a mere demonstration of unsuccessful work by usually successful comedians, writers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Deep down, though, it provides an interesting look into the thought processes of magazine editors, network executives, and others who wield power. Films rejected by festivals, cartoons that never made it to press, and comedy sketches that weren't good enough for TV all finally see the light of day, some more deservedly than others." --THE ONION
"Ever wonder what you're not seeing? Each month comedians perform pieces that have been rejected by anything from Conan O'Brien to The New Yorker..." TIMEOUT NEW YORK
Novelists, TV writers, stand-up comics, cartoonists, filmmakers, recording artists, dramatists and poets come together for a friendly but edgy celebration of failure. LA TIMES
"In New York, audiences are finding that failure is fun!" ABC NEWS
"'The Rejection Show' is a refuge for the rebuffed, a haven for the heave-hoed, a destination for the deep-sixed." NEWSDAY
"A show like this is like the ultimate catharsis, for sure." -NY DAILY NEWS
"Not just a brilliant idea, its a well executed one." COMEDY CENTRAL SPOTLIGHT NEWSLETTER
"'What do you get when you display a whole bunch of stuff that didnt make the cut at the New Yorker, Conan, and a bevy of other shows and publications? Evidently, some funny shit. GAWKER
"True to its maxim, Just because its been rejected doesnt mean its not good, the show continues to attract an audience that can relate. FLAVORPILL

The first program will feature music by DC composers George Walker (1996 Pulitzer Prize Winner), Thomas Kerr, John Philip Sousa, Michael Strand, Maurice Saylor, and Scott Wheeler ("Dragon Mountain"), as well as Robert Schumanns Mrchenerzhlungen for clarinet, viola, and piano. Burmese refugee poet Kyi May Kaung is also featured, along with a video of her work ("Tongues Don't Have Bones") by Lisa DiLillo. Musicians will include violist Betty Hauck (founding member of Apple Hill Chamber Players), clarinetist Benjamin Redwine, violinist June Huang, cellist Jodi Beder, bass Gary Poster, baritone Scott Kenison, and pianist Carl Banner.
Many wonderful composers, including George Walker, John Philip Sousa, Edward Duke Ellington, and Scott Wheeler were born in Washington DC. Exciting present day composers live in the DC area, among them Frances McKay, Adolphus Hailstork, Lawrence Moss, Janet Peachey, John Stephens, Andrew Simpson, Lori Laitman, Masatoshi Mitsumoto, Alexandra Gardner, Ulf Grahn, Gregg Martin, Maurice Saylor, Jessica Krash, Nicholas Maw, Blair Goins, William Nyaho, and many others. Washington Musica Viva will feature these and other past and present DC composers on its new series at The Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St NE, in the spirit of Washington cultural revitalization.

Todd Sickafoose's Tiny Resistors: featuring Myra Melford
It is our pleasure to invite you to a very special concert with Todd Sickafoose's Tiny Resistors
featuring Myra Melford
Thursday, Oct 27th, 2005
seating is limited so this one will be by reservation only
Myra Melford (piano)
I first met Myra playing in New York with Jenny Scheinman, who wrote a
record's worth of music inspired by Myra's total exuberance and charm at
the piano. The bug has bit me too: everything I've been writing lately
seems to be just so I can hear how Myra would play it. This concert will
be a chance to do just that. We'll be joined, in a room of sublime
acoustics (see below), by Ches, whose drumming is somewhat like hearing a
joke backwards and realizing that the set-up was filled with unexpected
meaning, and Ben Wendel and John Gove, who spend equal musical time
conjuring ghosts and rattling bones.
For those who don't know, Maybeck is an incredible little venue/residence
in the Berkeley hills. The space is legendary for its acoustics, having
been once affiliated with UC Berkeley, which used the room for concerts
put on by students in its music department. Today the house is a private
residence, but the music goes on, thanks to the wonderful Greg Moore who
lives there. One last thing -- there is a dog, Sarah, who is extremely
friendly (notwithstanding the night the Kronos Quartet performed a piece
utilizing squeaky chew-toys) but we mention it just in case anyone is
allergic. There is much more info on Maybeck Studio at www.handprintseries.com/maybeck.html

SERIES DETAILS:
Serial Underground at The Cornelia Street Cafe
Serial Underground 2005
Where: Cornelia Street Cafe (29 Cornelia Street, NYC)
Box office: 212.663.1967 (advance purchase discount available)
ComposersCollaborative inc's (CCi) Serial Underground introduces new multidisciplinary concert theater collaborations the second Monday of the month at the legendary Cornelia Street Caf, NYC. Doors open at 8:30 pm.
Composer/pianist Jed Distler (CCi artistic director) opens the September 12th evening with his own The Anthem atWoodstock(1996) for piano, a salvo to Jimi Hendrix's historic performance.
You might notice a political thread in our September 12 program directed by Arnold Barkus. David Lovett's lighting design adds glitz to the underground experience.
As of 1998 "the ever imaginative ComposersCollaborative" (Time Out) has presented such new music fare as the Solo Flights and Non Sequitur
festivals. Launched in the fall of 2004, Serial Underground presents multidisciplinary collaborations between composers, playwrights, directors,
spoken word artists. Allan Kozinn (New York Times) contextualizes Serial Underground, CCi's monthly performances in the basement of the Cornelia
Street Cafe "Informal performances of concert works were part of the musical ecology, and to some extent part of the ecology of urban night life
as well. That tradition lasted into the 20th century, when ... "serious music" reserved the concert hall as its home, and jazz (and later other popular forms) took its place at street level. ... Composers Collaborative and its inventive artistic director, the composer and pianist Jed Distler,
have decided that this [lost] intimacy [between listeners and performers] is worth recapturing."
The Cornelia Street Caf has presented an enormous variety of artists, from singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega to poet-senator Eugene McCarthy, from members of Monty Python to members of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Upstairs there is a beautiful oak bar, and 3 dining rooms. And there is a real kitchen, which garners much acclaim such as the 1998 Village Arts Award for "inspired cuisine."
about the Serial Underground artists on September 12, 2005 program:
Artistic Director of ComposersCollaborative, composer/pianist Jed Distler is developing a concert theater work, Everbest, Virgil, with director Arnold
Barkus for premiere at the Krannert Center of the University of Illinois. Jed is also collaborating with playwright Ed Schmidt (The Last Supper) on The Gold Standard, a piano theater work about a slightly disgruntled pianist. Highlights of the past season include solo performances in NYC at Joe's Pub and with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company at BAM, and a commission from Symphony Space for their Wall-to-Wall Sondheim. For the full scope of Jed's musical life, visit Composers Collaborative inc.
Pianist and composer David Hanlon is a member of the Anechoic and Tactus Contemporary Ensembles, with whom he has performed as a soloist and ensemble member in works such as Rzewski's De Profundis, Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, Xenakis's Palimpsest, and the American premiere of Michael Gordon's Decasia. He has also played with Newband in Harry Partch's Oedipus, the first staged production of the work since its first performance. David regularly travels to Egypt to perform recitals of classical, contemporary, and improvised works and to study Arabic music on the oud. A trained actor and director, David takes particular delight in participating in theatrical performances and writing theatrical music. He graduated from Wesleyan with a double major in Classics and Music and earned his Masters at Manhattan School of Music.
"...An exceptionally sensitive pianist" (Gramophone), Jenny Lin has earned a growing reputation for her adventurous programming and charismatic stage presence. Her performances have taken her to Carnegie Recital Hall, Kennedy Center, Miller Theatre, MoMA, Whitney Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, BAM Next Wave Festival, Flanders Festival, Divonne Festival, Festival Ars Musica, with orchestras and ensembles such as Ensemble Contrechamps, and Elliott Sharp's Orchestra Carbon. Jenny's latest album "Preludes to a Revolution" on the Grammy-winning Hnssler Classic features Russian Piano Preludes from 1905-1922. Scheduled for release in 2005/6 are CDs for Hnssler, Koch Records, and AEON.
A veteran of the European touring scene, lighting designer David Lovett worked for the Almeida Theatre in London; designed pieces for Scottish Opera, Attic Theatre, Newcastle Playhouse, The Matrix Ensemble; realized John Cage's installation piece Essay in Barcelona and a tour of Cage's Europeras 3 & 4. For the Aldeburgh Festival, he lit the world premiere of John Tavener's Mary of Egypt, and re-lit Robert Wilson's Hamletmachine on the European tour. David has been on board with CCi since 2002.
Walt Christopher Stickney was born August 30, 1944. He received a B.A. in English and comparative literature from the University of Pennsylvania. His books include To Night: Little David On Mouth-Harp, Cover My Souls, one and five minute pose-pomes, The Bethesda Preludes, and How To Live With An Actor. He has performed widely in Europe and the United States. He received an award from The National Endowment for the Arts and several awards from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities including the 1st individual grant award.

Forest Song, a month-long exhibit by Marilyn Banner
This is an invitation to Forest Song, a month-long exhibit I will have at the hip new art space in Silver Spring, Space 7:10, 963 Bonifant St. I will be showing small intimate collage/mixed media pieces from a large body of work inspired by a trip to Costa Rica. Many of the works at Space 7:10 have never been shown before, and are priced at unusually friendly prices, many well under $100!
Works from this series are in more than 20 collections, including those of the Ambassador and the Cultural Minister of Costa Rica, as well as the Sheppard Pratt Collection in Baltimore.
My intention in all the work is to express the beauty, delicacy, and mystery I felt in the rainforests of Costa Rica. It often seemed that the forest had a "sound," or a song, one that required our listening, on the deepest level.
Many of us want to "save the planet" now. Perhaps the first step is to get quiet and focused enough to notice what we HAVE here, and to love it. Then we can think about what "care" would mean. I want this work to function as a reminder to the parts of us that need reminding or reflection of the beauty and mystery of our earth.
If you want to own a bit of this work, now is the time.
Opening: Tuesday September 13, 6-9 pm, at Space 7:10 (in Kefa Caf), 963 Bonifant Street, in downtown Silver Spring. Come to the reception (part of the famous Silver Spring Artwalk), or visit during regular business hours, M-F 7 am-6 pm, Saturday 8 am-5 pm.
Kefa Cafe is just a couple feet from the corner of Georgia Ave and Bonifant St. Also, within one-half block of the caf are restaurants with food from Cameroon (Roger Miller's), Burmese (Mandalay), Thai (Thai Derm), Indian (Bombay Gaylord), Chinese (Tian Palace) and old-style American, in the oldest operated bar in Silver Spring, an erstwhile speakeasy during Prohibition (it is said), the Quarry House. So make a night of it!
Hope to see you there!

The Spirit Girls, Songs that Never Die
LUCKMAN GALLERY
announces
MARNIE WEBER's
Saturday, October 22, 2005, 8:00 p.m.
(Immediately following the Artist's Reception at the Luckman Gallery)
The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at California State University, Los Angeles announces the premier presentation of "The Spirit Girls, Songs that Never Die," an original multi-media work by Marnie Weber featuring live performances, music and visuals by the artist and cast. Weber's first performance in Los Angeles since 1998, this special one-night only event takes place Saturday, October 22 at 8:00 p.m. in the Luckman Intimate Theatre immediately following the Artist's Reception in the adjacent Luckman Gallery from 6-8:00 p.m.
"The Spirit Girls, Songs that Never Die" is an exhilarating descent into the half-trance, half-dreamstate of Marnie Weber's subterranean, subconscious-smitten world. Presented in multi-media surround, the performance invokes a waking reverie, a unique and extraordinary visual and aural experience. Vividly populated by ashen-faced girlish songsters and their hybrid animal consorts, and framed by a projected backdrop of swirling seasons and sweetly apocalyptic landscapes, "Marnie World" exists as antidote to the quotidian ills of runaway Disneyfication in serving up a sensory as well as thought-provoking feast for the eyes and ears.
"The Spirit Girls, Songs that Never Die" is a modern opera depicting the saga of five adolescent girl ghosts and their failed rock musical. According to Weber, "I thought of it as girls who were killed in their prime, and then they felt they wanted to come back and express things they weren't able to express. And so they decide to put on this musical. But they're so unaware of the way the world works that they find this abandoned opera house, and they put up posters all over town, and then nobody comes - because they're dead, and nobody can see the posters - or them. But the animals can, because the animals have special intuitions, as we all know." [LA Weekly, Aug. 12-18]
The performance features a floor-to-ceiling digital projection of the artist's newest video of the same title, along with a blend of live instruments, electronic music and vocals interwoven to create the rock-opera soundtrack, culminating in an otherworldly a cappella finale. Cast are slated to wear Weber's signature one-of-a-kind handmade costumes, many of which can also be viewed in the artist's five-year survey exhibition at the adjacent Luckman Gallery. About the artist: Marnie Weber was born in 1959, attended the University of Southern California in the late 1970s and received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1981. Weber's first public persona was as a member of the art-rock band the Party Boys, and eventually as a solo performer in clubs and art venues locally and internationally. In the early 1980s she began making collages, which she segued into multi-media installations in the 1990s that were also intertwined with her continuing performance work. Appearing with either a cast of characters or by herself in highly idiosyncratic and imaginative installations and performances, Weber delivers atmospheres and events that more often seem like magic residues from her own elaborate dreamscape.
Venue: Luckman Intimate Theatre
Tickets: 10.00 general admission.
"The Spirit Girls, Songs that Never Die" is presented in association with SASSAS (The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound) luckmanarts.org or www.calstatela.edu (maps)

Senouillac, FRANCE:
Joseph Nechvatal
An Art Exhibition at Chateau de Linardie
Opening: September 4th at 5pm.
The artist Joseph Nechvatal has used the computer for twenty years to create his computer-robotic assisted acrylic paintings and electronic installations. To do so he has subjected his image compositions to custom computer virus programs. From 1991-1993 he worked as artist-in-resident at the Louis Pasteur Atelier and the Saline Royale / Ledoux Foundation's computer lab in Arbois, France on The Computer Virus Project: an experiment with computer viruses as a creative stratagem. In 2001 he extended that artistic research into the field of viral artificial life through his collaboration with the programmer Stphane Sikora of the collective music2eye.
The dominant hermaphroditic visual form seen throughout CONTAMINATION is created through the computational morphing of testicles, ovaries, female breasts, and the buttocks of both sexes. CONTAMINATION was chosen by the artist for the title of this exhibition for a very specific reason. Through the utilization of digital-robotics, the paintings on view hold in suspension aesthetic moments preserved from real-time computer viral attacks which the artist performed using the most recent version of his custom viral software. This C++ based software, developed with the programmer Stephane Sikora, launches unpredictable progressive real-time virus operations that live off and transform its image hosts hosts created by the artist using a blend of digital-photography, computer graphic maneuvers and externalized computer code. These real-time viral attacks fall into the category of artificial life (A-Life); that is into a synthetic system that exhibits behaviors characteristic of natural living systems.
With CONTAMINATION artificial life viruses are modeled to be autonomous agents living in/off the hermaphroditic image. These Contamination attacks simulate a population of active viruses functioning as an analogy of a viral biological system.

Peter Reginato: upcoming art shows
Dear Friends,
I have the pleasure to announce that I am now represented in Europe by White8 Gallery, located in Villach, Austria. I will be having a solo show at the gallery in the summer of 2006.
November 10, 2005, is the opening for my solo show at the Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida. I am also in several group shows this summer. The Fells Conservancy, located in New Hampshire, is sponsoring a group show titled "Gateway to Sculpture", July 2nd through October 10th, in which I am represented by one large and two small sculptures. You can see, more of my work in the ACA Gallery summer group show Summer Salad at ACA Gallery in Chelsea, June 18th to August 19th.
I hope some of you can make it to one of the shows. And as always, you can see more of my sculptures on my website, www.peterreginato.com. Also, links to the gallery websites are below.

CHICAGO:
Lampo
Friends,
Lampo is pleased to announce its Fall 2005 schedule. Details below.
- Thomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler (Sept 10)
All events at 2116 W. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
Fall 2005
THOMAS LEHN AND MARCUS SCHMICKLER
Lehn (analog synthesizer) and Schmickler (digital synthesizer and computer)
perform together in Chicago for the first time. Two heavyweights from
Cologne, they are. Agog and gaga, Lampo is.
Thomas Lehn (b. 1958) has been working as a performer, interpreter, composer
and improviser since the early 80s. In addition to his duo with Schmickler,
ensemble work includes Gerry Hemingway, Gnter Christmann, Eugene
Chadbourne, Paul Lovens, Raymond Strid, and trio Konk Pack with Tim
Hodgkinson and Roger Turner.
Marcus Schmickler (b. 1968) has been involved with numerous projects,
including the seminal group Kontakta. As a solo artist, he has created
important works such as Wabi Sabi, Sator Rotas and Param, as well as three
CDs under the name Pluramon. While rooted in electronic music, he also has
a background in contemporary composition, having studied under Stockhausen
collaborator Johannes Fritsch. Schmickler also has worked in the house and
techno scenes, both on his own and with musicians such as Thomas Brinkmann
and Cristian Vogel.
KEITH ROWE
Solo Rowe -- an evening of improv from the famed British tabletop guitarist
and radio manipulator.
In the mid 60s, Keith Rowe (b. 1940, Plymouth) began to develop his own
idiosyncratic guitar technique, setting the instrument flat on a table and
preparing it with various tools: transistor radio, contact microphones,
pedals, bows, springs, mini handheld fans and various metal scraps. He is
co-founder (and former member) of the groundbreaking collective AMM, and
current all-star in MIMEO (the 12-piece Music in Movement Electronic
Orchestra, which also includes Lehn and Schmickler).
JESSICA RYLAN
Jessica Rylan (aka Can;t) overlays voice and DIY electronics to make music
"as warm and direct as an autumn campfire." Here, she calls forth swishy and
fluttery sounds from the Natural Synthesizer, one of her recently completed
homemade synths. Think: tree branches waving in the wind or frogs croaking.
Spin: "New Secret" (RRR) her superb picture disc and so-called noise album.
Jessica Rylan (b. 1974, London) is a sound artist and electronic musician
who lives and performs in the Boston area, where she grew up. The main
focus of her work has been the design and construction of modular
synthesizers that use analog electronic circuits. She uses her synthesizers
in installations at galleries (LIST Gallery for Visual Arts at MIT, the
Boston Center for Contemporary Art, Bard College) and also in her
high-energy musical performances.
STEPHAN MATHIEU
For his Chicago debut, Mathieu will present "Radioland," a suite of
computer-processed live AM radio, accompanied by a fast, random video
flicker of 256 colors.
Stephan Mathieu (b. 1967, Saarbruecken) spent the 90s in Berlin as an
improviser playing drums. In 1998 he made a radical switch to the digital
domain. A composer, performer and installation artist, Mathieu has created
sound installation works for the cultural heritage monument Volklinger
Hutte, Germany, and elsewhere and has released more than 10 albums for
labels such as Orthlorng Musork, Ritornell, Lucky Kitchen and Fallt, both
solo and in collaboration with Ekkehard Ehlers, among others. He also
teaches Digital Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design HBKSaar,
Saarbruecken, and has worked as a guest lecturer at the Royal Academy of
Arts, Gteberg, the Bauhaus University, Weimar and the Merz-Akademie in
Stuttgart, Germany.
ALESSANDRO BOSETTI
Bosetti, in his first local performance, presents solo work for voice and
electronics.
He also will premiere "Scena Muta," a project that he will complete in the
days immediately preceding his Lampo concert. For this new work, Bosetti
will make video portraits of Chicagoans listening to his short compositions
with headphones, after which he will destroy the music. Only the video
document of people listening, and the incidental sounds they make while
listening, will remain.
Alessandro Bosetti (b. 1973, Milan) is a composer, soprano saxophonist and
sound artist. He is interested in the musicality of spoken words and
different aspects of spoken communication, often employing field research
and interviews to gather material for his abstract text-sound compositions.
As a saxophonist, he has developed an original extended technique.
Collaborators include Michel Doneda, Axel Doerner, Annette Krebs and Andrea
Neumann.

BINARY KATWALK
Binarykatwalk announces the launch of its first edition.
Binarykatwalk.net
Binary Katwalk is an on-line New Media exhibition focusing on work that is experimental
and would benefit from this non-traditional exhibition space. The goal
of the site is to unify works over time into one expanding and unified
exhibition as opposed to specific exhibitions that open and then close or
go to a secondary archive. It is co-curated by Jeremy Hight and Sindee
Nakatani.
Come to Binary Katwalk to see the work of 5 strong artists from very
different points in the spectrum of New Media.

Their fresh, networkedinterfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the internet, as playground,platform or paintbrush.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mediatopia.2 fresh!
Artists create art in cyberspace, but can you hang it on a wall?
Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the Internet, both as creative medium and as a channel to share and distribute their output. The Internet, with its network functionality and potential for user interaction, is their creative playground: a form to manipulate and a means of social or political expression. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is a net-based opportunity for artists to gain exposure for their culture work. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is produced by Adhocarts.org, a non-profit media-arts organization. Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg worked together to curate a program from recent work submitted internationally that uses the Internet as a playground, platform or paintbrush.
Jessica Ivan's Retrotype historically traces female representation in video games through an interface that allows the participant to personalize and question the object of their gaze. Do you live in East L.A. and long to live closer to celebrities in a gated community? Carlos Katastrofsky performs Neighborhood and Area Research for you, so you can discover who your IP address neighbors are in cyberspace. On the Internet, distance is collapsed as ideologues are brought closer together. Michael Takeo Magruder's
Together these disparate works signify the production, both singularly and collaboratively, of persons whose concerns go beyond the instance of capital and reach outward to the cultural center of what digital media can mean for human expression and communication. Their work is a mirror before us that traces both our success and failure: together and separate in the network. These words may wish to provide an overview or representation of their work, but fail to provide the one thing these artists considered as they created their work- your interaction. This interaction forms a means to destabilize the relation of the author or creator, bringing in the user as an active director or participant in the process.
Artist's work created for the Internet poses problems for persons, museums or galleries who would collect and display it. Internet Art is not easily installed in these traditional spaces, and although digital information does not degrade, the technology that expresses it is constantly changing and upgrading. Software evolves, computers and their operating systems change, as well as progressive modifications to the human-computer interface, making it difficult to collect and archive this kind of work. Net-based art is ephemeral under these circumstances.
Artists who create "net.art,' have another problem at hand as well. How do you create value for something that is distributed on a network and available to anyone with a computer and connection? Historically, most art, aside from live performance, is based upon its being a one-of-a-kind object that maintains or even gains value as a collected piece. This makes raising funds for or selling this work a difficult proposition. Rachel Greene, author of Internet Art, writes, "Internet Art has less to do with objects of social prestige, and little, at least currently, to do with the cosmopolitan art businesses that thrive in New York, Cologne, London and other culture capitals.' These limitations have given artists who work with the Internet a kind of freedom and revelry of exploration, as well as a particular tool for cultural and institutional critique. Many artists see the Internet as a cause to really challenge fundamental elements of humanity: identity, methods of communication, technology, politics and the institution. These artists understand that people expanded by the Internet all over the world, are brought together in cyberspace.
The Internet was launched in 1989 by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. As the use of the Internet grew, so did a community of artists who began to utilize it as a creative medium by the mid 1990s. Some of the early practitioners of Internet Art were Post-Communist East Europeans and organizations like the Ljudmila Media Center in Slovenia, supported by George Soros's Open Society Institute. Much of the practice of Internet Art also saw support in media arts festivals in Europe during this time. Internet Art has grown over the years as the Internet has seen increased use and is now getting more recognition from the traditional formats of museums and galleries.
Artists will continue to participate in the social uses of new technology. They will take part in future network technologies and cultures, where the Internet will be augmented by shared virtual space. People on the network will come together in synthetic worlds to create, communicate and recreate. This is already occurring in online multi-player games and environments like Second Life (http://secondlife.com), which include their own economies. Objects and land can be bought and sold and complex social transactions take place in these ephemeral, digital realms that exist on servers. Some artists, such as Chris Burke, are hacking online multi-user games for other purposes, such as a talk show in game space (http://www.thisspartanlife.com).
Artists have a long history of socially relevant communication from within the culture they are steeped. Mediatopia.net and its supporting organization, Adhocarts, offer perspective to this process in the continually shifting phenomena of cyberspace. Mediatopia.net is produced by Adhocarts (http://adhocarts.org), which sponsors a variety of expressions that fall on the lines of interconnecting disciplines, theories, technologies and cultures. Adhocarts.org is a non-profit collaboration supporting arts and culture by producing avenues for creative expression and thought both online and off. Adhocarts.org was founded in 2000 and exists as a catalyst for work that uses technology and hypermedia, such as net.art, installation, digital video, writing and live art.

The Invisible Guy
is online now!
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Fellow Cyber-Surfers:
This is to let you know that my latest and current project, The Invisible Guy, is now officially online. Over three years in the making (and still in progress), it consists of lots and lots of music - surf tunes, humorous songs, a couple of tangos, and some demented anachronistic pop stylings not easy to describe - and for every number a scene (delivered in prose, I'm afraid; no flash cartoons or videos. You have to enjoy a good read).
These will be uploaded every Friday for the next 40 to 50 weeks, much like a serial novel. So to enjoy the full ride you'll have to keep coming back. It's cumulative though; once up there, every episode will be permanently available and accessible any time.
You are invited to get your first glimpse of The Invisible Guy right now at the above URL. Listen to the theme song, meet the gorgeous but wicked Zipper Ripper, and learn a bit of trivia.
This is a free online entertainment from the Leisure Planet.
(By the way, view it in Netscape if you can. Some stuff doesn't look right otherwise, and I'm not sure why.)

Viralnet.net is now online!
Viralnet is a productive nexus: critique, archive, art space and journal.
It intends to raise questions and provoke assumptions about culture,
media, politics and the arts.
Working with international social critics, media theorists, writers,
curators and artists, it is an online space that will grow and mutate as
it delivers material for these post-digital, post-democratic times. As
human experience becomes more mediated, we will highlight alternative
pathways into future thought and art making.
Produced by the Center for Integrated Media and the MFA Writing Program at
CalArts, Viralnet offers a series of commissioned online projects, essays
and interviews with a view toward articulating new concepts and working
strategies developed by contemporary intermedia artists, writers and
theorists. Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media,
says Viralnet is set up to look at digital media in relation to
culture, politics and the arts. The computer and the Internet have
expanded far beyond the boundaries of an exclusive digital domain,
allowing a transformation from novelty to the familiar," he says. "As with
radio at the beginning of the 20th century, digital technology has entered
a state of flux, going from an object of privilege to a common and
everyday ubiquitous appliance. This will have creative, social and
political ramifications that we are only beginning to
experience and understand."
Some of the contributors to this release of Viralnet include; social
critic and author, Norman Klein, new media theorist and author, Lisa
Nakamura, Kitchen curator and author, Christina Yang, artists, Perry
Hoberman and Sara Roberts.

"Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"
La Biennale di Venezia:
49th International Exhibition of Art--
Concomitant Exhibitions
http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp
"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving
over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and
Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski,
and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik,
Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry
Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....
The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an
installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this
installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition
organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief
Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942,
in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This
entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the
art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to
understand modern art.
The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity
as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the
digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral,
time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed
virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world
where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is
the readymade.
** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital
files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to
Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the
Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags,
the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.
* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms
part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including
the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the
Municipality of Venice itself."

If you have such works, please let me know. Works for two pianos and other instruments
can also be considered and works involving electronics are always welcome.
Our concert for November is programmed. We need works for our March 2006 and May
2006 programs. The March concert is exploring works incorporating older styles in new
forms and in May we plan a concert of works for voice and various instruments. With your
permission, I'll keep all submissions for future programming. All concerts are licensed and
a recording will be made with your permission.
Decisions on programming need to made in early January for the March concert, and mid-
March for the May concert. You can email me MP3s, refer me to your website or send
materials to:
I look forward to hearing form you

"CONNECTIVITY: THE TENTH BIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY",
The Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology at Connecticut College is
pleased to announce "Connectivity: The Tenth Biennial Symposium on Arts
and Technology", March 30 April 1, 2006. The mission of the
symposium is to present new works, research and performances in the
areas of technology and the arts. The symposium will consist of
commissioned works, paper sessions, panel discussions, art exhibitions,
interactive environments, music concerts, screenings and multi-media
performances. In an effort to demystify the artistic process and create
a forum for dialogue, we are encouraging all presenters and artists to
speak about their work at the symposium.
The Center seeks submissions in the general areas of Interactivity,
Cognition, Compositional and Artistic Process, Social and Ethical
Issues in Arts and Technology, Art, Music, Video, Film, Animation,
Theater, Dance, Innovative Use of Technology in Education, Scientific
Visualization, Virtual Reality, and other pertinent topics relating to
arts and technology.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
COMMISSIONED WORKS
PAPERS
PANEL DISCUSSIONS
CREATIVE WORKS
ART
Submissions of digital art, web art and other technology-based or
technology-oriented art forms are encouraged. Submissions of desktop
interactive works, self-contained web works, time based work,
performance and installations will be considered. Acceptance may be
constrained by technical needs, security and financial considerations.
Artworks will be reviewed on the basis of documentation of the work
presented in the form of a website, CD, DVD, VHS or slides.
Submissions must include a one-page description/abstract for
presentation at the symposium about the work, portfolio (maximum 4
jpegs, no larger than 2 Mb each), brief biography, contact details, and
complete technical needs and spatial requirements
VIDEO AND FILM
Submissions of short video or film works that include a significant
'technology' component in their creation, aesthetic or theme are
encouraged. The 'tech' involved may be 'high' or 'low', ranging from
digital animations and motion capture work on the 'high-tech' end to
various methods of creating film without photography, or novel uses of
the projector beam on the low tech side. Works that display worthy
reflections on the nexus of art, society and technology, even if
created by primarily 'conventional' means, are encouraged. Submissions
in the category of 'expanded cinema' and projection performance will be
accepted, but resources are limited and artists presenting such work
should expect to bring all or much of their own essential gear.
Submissions must include a one-page description/abstract of the work
and VHS, DV or DVCAM tape, DVD (tape preferred). For works involving
anything other than standard video or 16mm projection, a complete
description of technical and space needs is required. Exhibition
format will be DV, DVCAM, or 16mm film (no home-burned DVDs).Selection
for screening may be made in part on the maker's willingness/ability to
attend the symposium.

(((call for works/sound is art)))
Chisel, cut, mix, set in spaceŠSound has the power of the cinema and is lighter
Among the prizes awarded for acoustic creation, the Phonurgia Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium for expressing the real and the imaginary. In 2003, 150 productions from 19 different countries were entered in the prize.
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression, on two areas :
RADIO ARTS will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation: documentary,
fiction, essays, interviews, radio mix, Hrspiel, experimental forms etc.
NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work:

Are you interested in performing on the Meridian Music series?
We welcome your interest and want you to have a sense of what we're seeking for this series. The space is a wonderful, intimate venue, a rectangular gallery space, deeply windowed at one end, hardwood floored, 14 1/2 feet by 30 feet with a 10 1/2 foot ceiling. We can seat a maximum of 50 people. We're on the second floor of a building in downtown San Francisco, generally quiet, but with some street sounds audible. There is not a piano in the space. The audience usually sits on comfortable folding chairs. Because it is an active, vibrant art gallery, the music always occurs in relation to the current exhibition. So, we are interested in music that works well in this resonant space.
Each concert is professionally recorded by Michael Zelner of Zoka Productions. With this opportunity, those selected will also share their unique musical perspective with a group of about 15 low-income, high school aged, interns in a one-hour workshop.
We invite proposals from composer/performers for solo or very small ensemble performances that take into account the size of the room. Quiet, "lower case" music works well here, so do sonically saturating pieces. It's a small space, and we respect the ears of our audiences and we want performers who understand that. We host a wide range of styles and approaches, including free improv, structured improv, minimalism, new (and old) complexity, as well as streams from jazz, "concert" music, art music from all world cultures, experimental music, and performance art. We hope to present a wide variety of these sorts of art music, and we need your proposals to help us to do that.
Your proposal needs to let us know what you wish to perform and how you sense your work fitting into the Meridian Music series. Just a few lines of text are fine; we're not after pages of information. You're also very welcome to enter a conversation with us about what you'd like to do. We're working artists and musicians and educators and we always enjoy talking with others in these fields. We want your experience with us to benefit you as well as us and that is why we look thoughtfully for good matches of performer and space.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely, Tom

There is a new improvising space in the web at www.auracle.org
It's a webspace where everyone can improvise together, the only thing
you'd need to participate is internet access, a microphone (the
built-in mic of your computer is fully sufficient) and just your
voice or anything else that makes a sound. The idea is to provide an
easily accessable worldwide improvising space that anyone, musician
or non-musician, can easily handle and make music with it.
We over here in Stutgart are promoting this project from Saturday
25.9. until Friday, 1.10. every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. central
eurpoean time, and it would be great if as many people as possible
would join us in this time and improvise together.
the project was initiated by Max Neuhaus, realised by Shekar
Ramakrishnan, Kristjan Varnik, Jason Freeman and others, and you can
find more information on the website www.auracle.org
Hope to meet all of you there
i am a co-founder and co-director of collective: unconscious, an artist-run multi media art space and production facility that has just moved into nyc/usa/tribeca, to hopefully engage in the heretofore rather obscure task of the de-gentrification of a neighborhood in new york city.
at this point, the best way that many of the prolific members of the experimental art/media/theater community can help us is through doing a show/event at collective: unconscious. our carrying expenses are 7000 dollars a month, and we need to have a full schedule of weird, strange, shocking, experimental, original stuff going on in our space to keep us from economically crashing and burning in short order
we have karen finley www.karenfinley.org doing a run of shows in september and october, which means sizable audiences to glean for a whole slew of open 10pm slots.
a partial and by no means exhaustive pitch for our new facility:
the only space of its kind left in lower manhattan, in a sea of starbucked duane readed name branded cultural garbage, a barnacle of freakdom that you can help keep alive in the trying months ahead
come by any of our bookings meetings any sunday at 6pm at 279 church st., nyc, usa, and/or email scheduling@weird.org. speak to gecko or myself. we are inviting both local artists and international artists seeking to do shows/events in new york city at low cost. we want engaging original work that may not be as established as the work presented by other experimental art spaces in nyc such as the kitchen or ps122. if you don't know about our space and you are interested in booking an event with us, check out our website www.weird.org

of creative expression and contain a major technology component.
Proposals will be accepted for performances, concerts, showings or
installations; completed works will be presented during the symposium.
Proposals must include detailed technical and production requirements,
and a proposed budget. Limit of one proposal per team. The piece must
not have been previously published, performed or exhibited. Awards
will be granted at the discretion of the Center. Submissions not
accepted for the commissioned category will also be reviewed for the
general submissions category. Accepted commissions will be awarded a
stipend of $3000 and a residency at Connecticut College between March
27 and April 1 that includes:
- performance or installation of the accepted work
- workshops with students
- attendance at the symposium
- presentation at the symposium
A two-page extended abstract or complete paper, including technical
requirements, must be submitted by email or mail. Upon acceptance,

a PDF. Complete technical requirements for presentation must be
included. Papers will be published by the Center in the symposium
proceedings. All rights will remain with the author. Papers will be
selected for twenty-minute presentations as part of the daily schedule
of speakers. Papers may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion
format.
Proposals for panel discussions are encouraged. Proposals should
include names of prospective panelists and topic, which should address
the general areas of the symposium. Papers may be grouped by the
Center in a panel discussion format.
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, submissions of
technology-based or technology-oriented creative works are encouraged.
Maximum one proposal per person or team, and we reserve the right not
to review multiple pieces in a single submission. All submissions must
be accompanied by a one-page description/abstract for presentation at

signal processing and music understanding) are encouraged. Works for
instruments, digital media, CD or interactive compositions are also
being solicited for "tape only" concerts or live performance. Works

works are being solicited for live demonstrations or for videotaped
presentations. Specially produced dance or theater videos are of
particular interest as opposed to concert tapes or other archival uses
of video. Also of interest are proposals for workshops, demonstrations
of software for dance or theater notation, choreographic analysis,
interactive studies and/or multi-media studies of performance in dance
and theater. Performances may be accepted, but will be limited by
technical needs and financial considerations. All submissions should be
accompanied by a web site, CD, DVD or VHS, and one page
description/abstract for presentation at the symposium about the work,
biography, contact details, and complete technical needs and spatial
requirements.

air conditioning that actually works
a dsl line useful for webcasting, along with possible access to a t-1
a no smoking space that doesn't leave you smelling smoky on your way out
much more noise insulation from the street than our old space
a collective of artist administrators that have busted their asses without pay for many months to keep our ongoing institutional experiment alive -- we need help
