Digital Live Art is the intersection of human-computer
interaction (HCI), live art and computing. This
conference seeks to bring together practitioners and
academics from the varying worlds of live art,
computing and human-computer interaction for a
lively debate and event which will explore this
emerging field. Our specific context focuses on club
cultures as a living context for digital live arts
practices. Our expected outcomes are to create a
community of digital live artists and to present
strategies for designing, developing and evaluating
Digital Live Art. Such an event provides an
opportunity to open up conversations between digital
art and live performance and will allow us to explore
how it is used to increase our understanding of
human-computer interaction in general.
We are seeking to bring together both working
practitioners and academics from the active world of
live art and computing, particularly (but not limited
to):
- Performers: Live artists, digital artists, DJs, VJs,
sonic artists, dancers, actors, magicians
- Participants: Computer scientists, technicians,
club goers, designers, new media practitioners,
decorators
- Observers: Cultural theorists, ethnographers,
street scientists, her/historians
- Orchestrators: Curators, directors, writers,
producers, events organisers, club & festival
owners/managers and promoters.

Dislocate curated by Emma Lewis
In association with Trampoline and Ginza Art
Laboratory, Ginza and Koiwa, Tokyo
Deadline 31st May, 2006
Exhibition in Ginza and Koiwa, Tokyo
28th July- 18th August 2006
We constantly swim through an invisible sea of
hidden reality – our environment is not formed only by
our physical surroundings but of its multiplicity of
insubstantial networks – constantly transmitting and
receiving.
Physical geography is being transcended, psycho-
geography is extended.
We are never located in just one space.
Here is not just here but also there.
‘Dislocate’ is an exhibition examining the tensions
between the local and the global – the elements and
identity of one local space which are simultaneously
intersected by countless global links and
influences.
In its indefatigable attempt to promote new media art
to the world Trampoline – platform for new media art -
is going to Tokyo this summer and is seeking
submissions of works which engage with notions of
multiple spaces and presence, the ubiquity of new
media and the challenge to our sense of
place.
We are particularly encouraging the submission of
video work some of which will be shown on a
showreel, others on single monitors. But we also
welcome submissions for web streaming, computer
based works and sound works. Work should engage
with the theme of the exhibition on some level and
proposals should outline how this connection is made.
More information and submissions can be found here

FILM & VIDEO
Film, video and audio material for the 10th Venice
Architecture Biennale - curated by Richard Burdett
Deadline May 15th 2006
September-November 2006
Cities: Architecture and Society (Cittá:
architettura e societá)
16 world cities : Barcelona, Berlin, Bogotá, Cairo,
Caracas, Istanbul, Johannesburg,
London, Mexico City, Milan-Torino, Mumbai, New
York, São Paulo, Shanghai,
Tokyo
The Venice Architecture Biennale 2006 will focus on
urbanism and the forces that influence the built
environment in very large cities—flows of migration,
of capital, and of urbanization. The exhibition will
profile sixteen cities from across the world. Each city
portrait will include historical information,
visualizations of quantitative data, explorations of
some of its key urban challenges, and a projected
video and sound collage. The aim of the video
component is to present an impressionistic
counterpoint to other aspects of the exhibition. The
idea is to go beneath the skin of the data sets to
present something of the sensory, experiential quality
of each city. Utilizing a variety of film, video and
sound material from different time periods will allow
the video projections to approach the pluralism of
each city and the subjectivity of each urban
encounter. The aim of the video component of the
exhibition is not to attempt a comprehensive cross-
section of points of view on any of the cities (as that
would be impossible) but rather to synthesize a
diversity of voices and styles to reflect each city’s
complexity.
The Film/Video Project Manager is now accepting
video footage and recorded audio from local artists in
each of the cities profiled. Moving images and sounds
that reference the human relationship to urban
infrastructure, the commercial and cultural by-
products of migration and ethnic diversity (such as
shops, marketplaces, language and music) and the
daily realities of city life (like commuting or gathering
in public space) are particularly encouraged. The
contemporary images will be juxtaposed with archival
film from the past century to create a dynamic
collage.
Each video projection will be approximately three to
five minutes in length. The Film/Video Project
Manager would like to collect four to five hours of
material on each city by May 15th, 2006. The
preferred format for video in DV or mini-DV (NTSC or
PAL).
Director: Richard Burdett, London School of
Economics
Film/Video Project Manager: Cassim Shepard
