The Joy Of Box & Kit Anderson @ Broadway on Monday 23rd June

Would you like to take part in a cinematic experiment?

We need volunteers to make up an audience.

You will be shown a short show reel in Broadway’s Screen 4 and asked to participate in a short discussion thereafter. The discussion part of the experiment will be filmed and excerpts from it will be projected in the Broadway Cafe Bar later in the year.

The whole process will take up to 1 hour and there are two lunchtime slots: 12-1 and 1-2.

If you are interested then please send a confirmation e-mail to me giving your preferred time slot.

Contact: anna [at] broadway.org.uk.

For the purposes of the experiment we must ask all participants to arrive no later than the start of each alotted time slot as the experiment requires that participants must be present for the complete process.

Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you!

Please forward this if you know someone who might be interested and has time.

Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art presents
Intrude: Art and Life 366

http://www.intrude366.com

Intrude: Art and Life 366 is an ambitious interdisciplinary and cross-cultural public art event organized by the Zendai Museum of Modern Art in Shanghai, China. From January 1st to December 31st 2008, a cultural event will take place everyday somewhere in the city of Shanghai.

One cultural event a day, 366 events a year, Intrude: Art & Life 366 will present global perspectives on art and culture, and bring these closer to the people of the city, intervening in their daily lives by exposing them to exceptional cultural happenings.

In order to present their work differently, artists will explore new concepts, abandoning the pristine white gallery and museum walls so that different cultural experiences can enter the public space.

Intrude: Art & Life 366 was created as a long-term project, continuing beyond the 366 days of events. All of the events will be methodically archived in Zendai MoMA’s archives and presented in the future as touring exhibitions. The Museum also publishes monthly magazines with interviews and essays on the projects to inform a broad range of people on the progress of the project.

Intrude: Art & Life 366 is looking for artists

Intrude:Art and Life 366 is still looking for ambitious and original artists who are willing to intrude in the city of Shanghai. If you have any ideas or projects you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to send us your proposal. All works that can be realized in different public or private spaces (parks, streets, office buildings, shops, squares, etc) as well as internet-based works are welcomed. Artists active in different fields (visual arts, music, theatre, literature, dance, etc.) can submit proposals by filling out the proposal form and submitting it to Zendai MoMA’s Intrude project team.

To download the proposal form please visit http://www.intrude366.com or write to intrude366proposals@gmail.com For more info contact Liz Coppens, Project Coordinator (Curatorial Department) at liz.coppens@gmail.com

“Love Is…” is an attempt at a definition, and as with all definitions that try to explain what love is, precision is not possible, and perhaps not even desirable. This piece moves toward a definition of love in three stages: first through a standard, accepted lexicon; then via a series of individual expressions of love; and finally as defined within randomly selected statements about love provided by readers. The work is created in Flash and, at the end of the piece, offers viewers the opportunity to write their own definitions of love into the site. These definitions are saved in a database so the next visitor can view them as they are randomly displayed. “Love Is…” takes approximately five minutes to view.

Calling authors and critics for works for the “The Future of Writing” conference at UC Irvine, Nov. 6-7. (Submission Deadline June 30).

The call requests digital art works and electronic literature (there will be an exhibit), individual presentations / demonstrations (15 min), and panels (70 min). The organizers’ interests are broad — as the CFP makes clear:

“The Future of Writing” is a mini-conference (November 6-7, 2008) designed to bring together scholars across the UC system and a cadre of nationally recognized experts to explore how the new communications technologies, particularly the Internet, are challenging previous conceptions of what “writing” is.

The full text from the call is here.

According to Grand Text Auto, Noah Wardrip-Fruin will be delivering one of the keynotes, “likely offering thoughts on a variety of topics: from writing computational processes, elit, and games to how blog-based peer review shaped my writing of Expressive Processing.”
