CALL FOR ELECTRONIC ART SUBMISSIONS

Touchware
SIGGRAPH 98 Art Show,  July 1998

Submission Deadline:    January 14, 1998

This exhibit will probe the physical, conceptual, and psychological issues
of
touch -- the tactility of the image, the responsiveness of an artwork
through
the sense of touch, or the ephemeral sensation of touch and connection
through
the Internet, VR or telecommuni-cations.  This exhibition will focus on
rematerializations of digitized experiences.  Artists are challenged to
explore
the tactility of materials in the electronic or printed page, touch-based
responsive processes in the interface, or the extension of physicality to
the
ephemeral  emotion of being in-touch via the internet.  This exhibition
will
highlight the contemporary aesthetics of the electronic image: as visual
image,
interactive image, animated image, virtual image, Web image.   This
exhibition
will include 2D prints, drawings, photographs, mixed media and artists'
books,
3D sculpture and kinetics, interactive installations, ARTSITE Web
projects,
live telecommunication events, and performances.  A catalog will be
published.

V2_Publication: Interfacing Realities

Are computer networks a virtual world, parallel to a 'real' world? Can a
superhighway be digital? Can a city be digital? Is the Internet nothing
but
a huge collective mental projection, constructed with the aid of a large
number of (architectural) metaphors? If the answer to these questions is
affirmative, we - together with these authors - will have to address a
number of essential issues. What does this mean to the cities we inhabit
now? And if this technological extension of the urban space has so much,
'reality effect', are we willing to throw ourselves on the Net for
shopping, education and even to search for money and happiness? In the
end,
will we have to metaphorize ourselves, with our bodies becoming nothing
but
a protrusion of the screen?

The five authors Knowbotic Research, William J. Mitchell, Stephen
Perrella,
Stacey Spiegel and Siegfried Zielinski wrote their texts in a procedure
proposed by the V2_Organisatie. The authors could read and comment on each
other's material via the Net in three consecutive rounds. Stefan Mnker
moderated the proceedings and wrote the introduction.

The book is not a metaphor, but a machine that has caught a virus from the
Net. When used intensively the shape changes.


This publication is an initiative of V2_ resulting from DEAF95 (Dutch
Electronic Art Festival) that V2_ organized with Interfacing Realities as
its theme.

17x24cm, 72 pages, full color, bilingual (Dutch-English), retail price
about 17 dollars
ISBN 90 6617 183 9






V2_Publication: TechnoMorphica

Will technomorphization, the reorganization of the organic based on the
intelligent machine model, become the dominant model of our age? Has
evolution entered a technological-scientific phase where humans no longer
develop themselves in natural processes, but where the human body adapts
itself to the parameters of this technological era?

In this book fourteen authors give their views on this blurring of borders
and the fusion of the biological with the technological. Ideas about
angels
and robots, about viruses and mad cows. A world where machines are
anthromorphized and where humans are technomorphized. And if only the
glare
of our monitors is left to illuminate us, isn't it time to build a museum
for the sun?

From: Guggenheim Web Site News <Webnews@GUGGENHEIM.ORG>
To: nettime@is.in-berlin.de
Subject: Launch of CyberAtlas
Mime-Version: 1.0
Sender: pit@mserv.rug.ac.be


Visitors to the Guggenheim this month should have an easier time orienting
themselveseven if they arrive from cyberspace. CyberAtlas, a new
interactive feature of the Guggenheim's Web site, offers a series of maps
of cyberspace made at different times from different perspectives.

A visitor who clicks on a location in one of the maps will jump directly
to the corresponding site on the World Wide Web. Instead of disappearing
>from view, the map is designed to follow along in the background as the
visitor jumps from site to site, ready to be "unfolded" whenever it is
needed.

The online debut of CyberAtlas features Electric Sky, a geographic map by
Guggenheim Exhibition Coordinator Jon Ippolito, as well as Intelligent
Life, a thematic map by independent curator Laura Trippi.  Electric Sky
charts cyberspace as a celestial firmament whose constellations are
electronic networks.  Intelligent Life charts cyberspace as a neural
network that connects recent scientific developments to art, theory, and
popular culture.  New maps will appear periodically as part of this
ongoing effort to visualize the ever-changing space of electronic culture.

The CyberAtlas project is designed and curated by Jon Ippolito.  The
Guggenheim Museum wishes to thank Mia Hurley for her assistance with the
project.

CyberAtlas can be accessed from the Guggenheim's home page at
http://www.guggenheim.org.
