* Western Front's call for works:
January 17th is the birthday of Art!
To celebrate Art’s 1,000,0042nd Birthday and in combination with
the Western Front's Reverie project, we are organizing a 24 hour web-cast
of audio art under the theme of DREAM.
The works should be up to 10 minutes long. Artists can participate in
different ways:
1. phone-in and the phone call will be relayed over the Internet.
2. send us a pre-recorded piece on CD, DAT, cassette.
3. send us a MP3 file over the Internet.
4. artists who are in Vancouver can perform their work live in our concert
hall.
The broadcast time will be done at the time of your own birth, so provide a start time according to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
It can be your birth time, but if it is a collective this can be the time the band was formed too, not all the members birthdays.
Only one work per submitter (unless you were born twice).
There will also be some pre-birthday performances on the January 14-16.
If you would like to send a phone call to DREAM, contact us at reverie-info@front.bc.ca

for submissions: Acoustic Space – MAX
Workshop (advanced)
Saturday January 5
Studio XX is looking for audio projects to be developed within the framework of a professional development workshop aimed at female media artists. The general objective of the training is to give ten female artists (5 advanced) the opportunity to develop everything from the technical language to mastering basic tools by creating a multimedia project using MAX software. MAX is an extremely user-friendly programming environment that enables users to conceive their own computer programmes in order to carry out specific tasks. Instead of using text language (such as C++ or BASIC), objects and functions are represented by a graphical interface.
At this level, teaching will concentrate on programming- as well as management-related problems: lists, databases, masters, pro-sets. Other elements of audio processing, such as FFT, granular synthesis, pitch tracking, user interface and ergonomics will also be taught. Personal assistance appropriate to each individual project will also be provided.
Patrice Coulombe, instructor and electro acoustic composer , will systematically teach how to use MAX software, basic technical notions necessary for understanding sound, as well as answer questions, on formatting or composition for example, which may arise as participants use the software. The artists will have access to free time in the laboratory to develop their own creations. At the end of the workshop, the artists will be able to master the necessary tools to fully develop the acoustic components of their work.
Studio XX will circulate the resulting creations within the framework of a salon Femmes br@nchées.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend a cordial invitation for you to attend one or both of the upcoming IPSI BgD multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary conferences.They take place on two consecutive weekends, in two nearby locations (only about 200km away from each other, in the hills of France and on the coast of Spain).
The first one will be in Carcassonne, France (near Toulouse):
IPSI-2005 FRANCE (Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage City)
Hotel de la Cite (arrival: 23 April 05 / departure: 26 April 05)
Deadlines: 20 December 04 (abstract) & 20 January 05 (full paper)
The second one will be in Costa Brava, Spain (near Barcelona):
IPSI-2005 SPAIN (S'Agaro is the Pearl of Costa Brava)
Hostal de la Gavina (arrival: 28 April 05 / departure: 1 May 05)
Deadlines: 27 December 04 (abstract) / 27 January 05 (full paper)
All IPSI BgD conferences are non-profit. They bring together the elite
of the world of science; so far, we have had seven Nobel Laureates speaking
at the opening ceremonies. The conferences always take place in some of
the most attractive places of the world. All those who come to IPSI conferences
once, always love to come back (because of the unique professional quality
and the extremely creative atmosphere); lists of past participants are
on the web, as well as details of future conferences.
These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of the US
National Science Foundation and of the EU research sponsoring agencies,
to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary
research (M.I.T. research). The speakers and activities at the conferences
truly support this type of scientific interaction.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Internet
* Computer Science and Engineering
* Mobile Communications/Computing for Science and Business
* Management and Business Administration
* Education
* e-Medicine
* e-Oriented Bio Engineering/Science and Molecular Engineering/Science
* Environmental Protection
* e-Economy
* e-Law
* Technology Based Art and Art to Inspire Technology Developments
* Internet Psychology
If you would like more information on either conference:
IPSI-2005 France and Spain <hawaii2005@vreme.yubc.net>
If you plan to submit an abstract and paper, please let us know immediately
for planning purposes.
Sincerely Yours,
Prof. V. Milutinovic, Chairman
IPSI BgD Conferences
Please distribute to female artists interested in a Germany-based international internet platform for new media art. http://www.bild-rausch.de/ is a new internet platform with the goal to present and enable networks between female artists working in video and new media. The network project bild-rausch promotes the mutual dialog of female artists, it serves archiving and communication and is open to curators, art managers, gallery owners, art agencies etc. as an information marketplace.
Bild-rausch collects information about artworks and current websites of female artists and displays them on online archives in the form of a brief biography, a small sample of images, as well as a web link. Interested female artists who are working with new media (for example photography, video art, performance and action art, computer art, net art, sound art and game art) are invited to apply at http://www.bild-rausch.de/
GirlSpoken invites you to join voices with young women across Canada and contribute to a book of writings and artwork on growing into ourselves...
What We're Looking For:
We are looking for bold pieces from 13-19 year old girls and young women
on the challenges, big moments and sweet joys of growing up. GirlSpoken
invites you to speak your mind, to explode with colour or to capture photos
that reveal what you're all about. We want to hear from you about what
makes you who you are, what you value, how you express yourself and the
things you have experienced. What do you want to tell the world about
what it's like to be you? We are looking for fiction and non-fiction pieces
that are inspired by your own life.
The Nitty Gritty:
Your piece can take the form of a piece of writing or a self portrait
in the medium of your choice (photography, drawing, painting, collage
etc.).
Writing
Written submissions should be based on your own experiences and can take
any form (stories, poetry, rants, ramblings, journal entries, lyrics,
letters, spoken word pieces, etc.).
Artwork
We are looking for self-portraits that are a creative expression of who
you are. Your self-portraits can be in any medium (photography, drawing,
painting, collage, etc.). Each self portrait must include a short paragraph
on what the piece means to you. Any artwork that is 3-dimensional or larger
than a letter sized (81/2 x 11") sheet of paper, should be submitted
as a photograph of the piece.
Submission info
Each contributor can submit multiple pieces. Please send your piece by
post or email with your completed permission to print form (found at www.girlspoken.ca).
Include all contact information possible (name and/or pen name, age, mailing
address, email address, telephone number). If you would like your work
returned, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope. You can choose
to contribute anonymously or use a pen name. If you are submitting a previously
published piece, please provide the publisher's contact information. Submissions
in all languages are welcome; if possible please include an English translation.
A complete book information package is available for downloading at www.girlspoken.ca

activities).
