The Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre Announces Interactive Screen 0.7
Each year the majestic mountain setting of Banff is host to a mix of international and Canadian new media luminaries and rising stars. For 12 years participants have come to Interactive Screen at BNMI to reflect on the current state of new media and the shape of things to come. Interactive Screen 0.7 looks at how interaction design is shaping our everyday life through digital artifacts, for culture, play, work, and the economy.
Interactive Screen aims to stimulate the creation of emotionally powerful, creatively inspired, and economically viable new media in Canada and abroad. Interactive Screen brings together established producers, investors, and policymakers with artists, technologists, and cultural researchers of all horizons. Together they focus on the creative, social, and business impacts of digital content, technologies and networks.
During six days of work and play, participants engage with peers and mentors in inspiring dialogue and collaboration by participating in presentations, panels, workshops, and performances. Participants will come away from Interactive Screen with new projects and alliances, a refined set of skills, and a renewed faith in the cultural power of new media.

Groundwork South West is looking to engage contemporary artists/arts groups to work alongside our local trust, Groundwork Devon and Cornwall, with the intention of radically reassessing what current contemporary practice could bring to our work and organisation.
We wish to develop an ongoing programme of contemporary art commissioning, and are keen to work with a wide range of practices including; performance/live art, sound art, video/film, installation, media, sculpture, and everything in-between and beyond. We are looking for artists who reflect our own organisation’s ethos and ideals and who therefore have a critical engagement with some or all of the following; public space (both urban and rural), environmental regeneration and sustainability, individual/community empowerment and participation.
To begin this process, we are calling for expressions of interest for artist(s) in residence. The intention is for the selected artist(s) to engage in a residency period with Groundwork, possibly, although not necessarily, culminating in a new piece of work. Engaging creatively with Groundwork’s staff and community-based projects and the process of working is seen to be as important as a final ‘product’. Rather than prescribe a specific outcome, we want to work in collaboration with the chosen artist’s practice and plan the residency accordingly.

:::: Call for projects VERSCH festival 2007/2008 ::::
VERSCH is a small festival for innovating media art, electronic music and cross-over. A showcase of installations, performance, live cinema VJ-ing, live music, DJ-ing and cross-over is organized once per two months at the Night theatre Sugar Factory in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. More information at www.versch.org.
The synergy between image and sound in installation or performance form is one of the characteristics of the (audio-visual) projects. New approaches in the form and the position of the performers/ the public towards the work are central. The music doesn’t conform to one style and moves into the direction of eclectic pop/dance, deep-house, minimal and electro. Fresh, accessible compositions and cross-over are the key words.
The Artists can introduce their work to the organization by filling in the entry form correctly. Please add representative project
documentation to your entry.
