FILE-LABO call for submissions – ongoing deadline
FILE Labo, the new media laboratory of Electronic Language International Festival, is now launching its first call for project proposals.
If you have an idea and are an artist, a designer, a programmer, an engineer, a scientist, or if you have developed any work for your university or for yourself, and always found it an interesting work, but which ended up in the sidelines, now you can send it to FILE-LABO.
The LABO is a free territory for creation and invention; an independent and collaborative network for the development of art, science and technology, located in São Paulo, at the SESI Vila Leopoldina Cultural Center, and devised under a platform of collaboration among creators and professionals of different areas. There, you will find collaborators from technical, theoretical, and political-cultural areas, who will follow and support the development of your proposal.
Send your project or idea through the proper submission form in the site. Later on, there will be a project selection by a laboratory’s professional commission.
FILE-Labo will prioritize projects and ideas that can really be developed by the laboratory within the maximum period of one year.

The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival – deadline 1 February 2008
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The more things change ?
The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, March 2008
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Governments come and go. So do coups. The West keeps drawing its ‘roadmaps’, but who’s driving? For some, having no elected government is a terrifying state of affairs. For others, it’s just business as usual.
Change is not impossible. It’s constant. Nothing is permanent. Traditional wisdom ? especially in Buddhism ? says that time is cyclical, a rhythm of renewal and regeneration. But modernity’s clock is ticking. Its history is linear, irreversible, a path towards a different future. Will our history be one of progress, or will it be looped?
Political, social, historical, biological, cosmic? What are the cycles that give shape to contemporary life? Can art interrupt them, or should it work with them, go along with them?
The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival is seeking films and other screen-based work that explores the rhythms and cycles of contemporary life. All genres and styles will be considered, including experimental film and video, documentary, art film, animation, machinima, etc.
Experimental film is not just about technical innovation ? it’s about new voices and new perspectives. It’s about yesterday and tomorrow. It can articulate the furtive connections between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the personal and the public.
BEFF5 is organised by Kick the Machine, Project 304 and the Thai Film Foundation, and is also supported by Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific.
To submit your work, please download the BEFF 5 Entry Form here: http://www.project304.org/beff5/ and send it with your submission to:
BEFF 5, c/o Jim Thompson Art Center,
6 Soi Kasemsan 2, Rama 1 Road, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand
Deadline: Friday, 1 February, 2008

Transliteracy: Crossing Divides, by Sue Thomas, Chris Joseph, Jess Laccetti, Bruce Mason, Simon Mills, Simon Perril, and Kate Pullinger
Published in 
First Monday, Volume 12 Number 12 – 3 December 2007
First Monday has published an article by the PART team at De Montfort University. Transliteracy: Crossing Divides lays out our current thinking about the concept and invites response and comment. Notable as the first peer-reviewed article on the concept, it was written collectively by Sue Thomas, Chris Joseph, Jess Laccetti, Bruce Mason, Simon Mills, Simon Perril, and Kate Pullinger – a supreme effort of collaboration!
Abstract:
Transliteracy might provide a unifying perspective on what it means to be literate in the twenty-first century. It is not a new behavior but has only been identified as a working concept since the Internet generated new ways of thinking about human communication. This article defines transliteracy as “the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks” and opens the debate with examples from history, orality, philosophy, literature, and ethnography.
