Icad Sonification Competition

Call for Entries: Sonification Competition for ICAD 2012

Theme: Listening to the World Listening

Composers, sound artists, and sonification researchers are invited to create sonifications for the ICAD 2012 sonification competition.

About ICAD

The 18th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD2012) will be held June 18-22, 2012 , at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the heart of midtown Atlanta , Georgia . The event will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1st International Conference on Auditory Display. Since 1992, ICAD has been the premier international venue for the dissemination and discussion of work related to the science, art, and practice of sound as a communicative display. Through its active Sonification Lab and Center for Music Technology, Georgia Tech is pleased to host ICAD's vibrant community of researchers and practitioners on its campus.

Competition Theme

ICAD 2004 titled its sonification competition ‘Listening to the Mind Listening’ and invited entrants to sonify EEG data captured while a subject was listening to music. The ICAD 2012 competition is inspired by this same idea: music (or sound) about listening to music. It is also inspired by the radical changes over the past decade in how we listen to music and how we share our listening activities with others. As portable media players and always-connected smartphones have become our primary listening platforms, social media services have become our primary sharing platforms.

This competition adopts the theme ‘Listening to the World Listening’ as it challenges us to explore what we can learn about listening through the analysis and sonification of social media data about listening.

There is no static data set for this competition; instead, entrants are invited to use a set of data APIs to obtain social media listening data. Use of a Twitter Music Trends data feed, which aggregates music listening data from Twitter by artist, is required. Entrants may optionally gather related data about the tweets themselves from the Twitter API, and about the referenced artists from the MusicBrainz and Echo Nest APIs. Detailed information about each API is included in the full call at http://distributedmusic.gatech.edu/icad/.

Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2012

Submission Requirements:

Sonifications may be fixed-media audio files, interactive software programs or web sites, smartphone apps, musical performances, or sound installations. They may sonify the data in real time or out of real time. They may work with as little as a single set of fifty artists from Twitter Music Trends or as much as several months worth of data collected across all of the APIs.

Submissions must include an audio or video recording, no more than five minutes in length, of the complete sonification, excerpts from the sonification, or documentation of the sonification, as appropriate. Submissions must also include a 2-4 page statement, following the ICAD 2012 paper template, that describes the techniques used to create the sonification and the motivations behind them.

All questions should be addressed to Jason Freeman, ICAD 2012 Music Chair.

Jury, Finalists, and Winners:

A jury will select finalists to be featured during ICAD 2012, and the winner will be announced during the conference. The statements of each finalist will also be published in the ICAD conference proceedings.

Location:
College Art Association
Los Angeles, California
United States of America

“Control over change would seem to consist in moving not with it but ahead of it. Anticipation gives the power to deflect and control force.”
Marshall McLuhan
This panel will explore the dynamics of social networking sites and open source software as it is being utilized in postmodern digital art practice.
Currently, artists are collaborating, networking, performing and creating interventions in social, political and conceptual art utilizing frameworks created under a variety of contexts.Recent trends in technology have created avenues for digital arts in the realm of locative geography and internet-based works to be generated and experienced outside the gallery proper, creating new venues and strategies for ephemeral and performance based work.
We’ll address spontaneous and scripted artworks of a performative and process-based nature, utilizing web-based technology in a variety of contexts. Working individually or collectively, the rules of engagement with the audience vary, as do approaches in technique and documentation.
Some questions the panel will consider:
-What makes a performance piece successful or unsuccessful?
-Who decides?
-How are artists redefining the use of technology to subvert current or expected outcomes?
-In what ways is digital and net-based work performative and public?
-How is work in new and public digital formats being courted (or ignored) by galleries, collectors, press, critics?
-What mean for maintaining or archiving this type of work have been designed (and implemented)?
-What strategies are been used to identify media which can exist in perpetuity?

>From Mike Everlith, Badlit.com: "Chicago Underground Film Festival, The reigning champion of all underground film festivals is still going strong as it nears in on two decades in operation. That’s right, the Chicago Underground Film Festival is now open for submissions for their 19th annual edition that will in Spring 2012.There’s a reason why CUFF has been so successful for so many years: The fierce dedication of festival Artistic Director Bryan Wendorf, who’s been running things since the very beginning. However, the truly astounding thing that Wendorf has done is that he’s allowed the fest to grow over the past 19 years.Since the fest abandoned its transgressive leanings many moons ago, CUFF has always allowed the notion of what an “underground film” is to grow and adapt. For that reason, it’s always difficult to pin down exactly what Wendorf and his crew are looking to program every year, but when they announce their annual lineup it always seems to make sense.What they program is a little different, off-beat in varying ways, still embracing a punk aesthetic, intelligent, sometimes smart-ass, sometimes raucous, experimental in concept although not always in form and always challenging. CUFF defines what it means to be “underground” without ever settling for a concrete definition. So, if you think your film embraces those same qualities, then submit" Experimental, narrative, documentary and genre-defying films and videos wanted!

Early Deadline: November 21, 2011 – Entry Fee: Features $35 (Students $20); Shorts $30 (Students $15)
Regular Deadline: January 15, 2012 – Entry Fee: Features $45 (Students $20); Shorts $35 (Student $15)
Late Deadline: March 1, 2012 – Entry Fee: Features $55  (Students $25); Shorts $40 (Student $20)

Vera Maurina Press (VMP) uses casual and direct client feedback on and offline to generate art, bolstering our core belief that casual communication and daily experiences with nets of objects are inspiring sources for art.
We're moving into the second iteration of VMP, where we added sections in honor of the inventors of the web, the hyperlink, and a prototype of desktop computing. A painting series will grow from each section. Like before, we incorporate your digital images & commentary with the work.

Every Pixel In Your Work Is a Painting

Posted on September 25, 2011

1. You upload a reply and image of your work in any of the posts in the work category.
2. We integrate your images in the series of paintings.
3. If you wish to own parts of the series mixed together with your images, please contact us.  Note: we only charge for materials and shipping, $5 and up.

– Vannevar Bush, As We May Think.

As We May Think was written in 1943, and the vision is astounding.  Although home computers and the web far transcend micro-film and photographic materials, Bush draws out the basic mental picture for both. But in basics, many things are missing.  From the perspective of visual art and design, one may ask how color, shape, and line function in the Memex, and in more up to date work and computer environments.

For this series of paintings, Vera Maurina Press will make a continuous painting, based on color, shape, and line in your work and desktop environment.  We want a window into what you see at work.

To participate in this series upload a reply and images of your work environment.

“Oh wow, Oh wow, Oh wow,” were Steve Jobs last words.

Where did he go? What did he see and feel? The speculation is as old as time.

Waves Of Wonder, the Wowness, whatever you call it, PS Project Space has a call for photographers, artists and philosophers to submit work for a multi-media exhibition and book that aims to reflect the pinnacle of life and death experienced as Steve Jobs, dare I say, ‘Uploaded’.

Flickers of color, close up moments, nature and abstraction, the weight of spirit has been seen projected in light since early days in a cave around a fire. In recognition of spiritual moments of genius, Oh Wow x 3 is a celebration of life and a collective message to the ‘other side’.

OH WOW x 3 VISION QUEST :

How can digital technology be used to capture these fleeting in between states?
Can heightened states of awareness be communicated through technology?
Can you capture a lucid dream, meditation, and psychedelic experiences with an I phone?

This is your opportunity to send a message into the beyond as an an ode to genius and inspiration itself. Creating a vision of revelation, this contemporary Book of Jobs looks at technology, spirit and the capacity of the mind to consider otherworldly experiences.

All participating artists work will be considered for future exhibitions, opportunities and projects. Select artists will be invited to participate in a multimedia book and exhibit at PS Project Space Chelsea, NYC Spring 2012.

3 outstanding artists will be awarded further exposure and the opportunity to participate in a collaborative exhibition project in NYC, Summer 2012.

Link: http://www.hexpixelgallery.com/

Hello friends!
___We're opening up a digital art gallery in Kansas City, Missouri called the HEX Pixel Gallery that shows Digital / HD Video / and Interactive work. We've got a great art scene here, but there's not a gallery that primarily focuses on video and digital installations.
___We will feature the work of one artist for one evening on the first friday of every month, which are huge occasions here in Kansas City .
Our space has 3 large 1080p projectors, media drives, computers and access to a lot of other stuff we can set up that we can use to play back video or interactive art. We are making a point to have no printed collateral of any kind.  We'll be mounting iPads around the space to allow people to read more information about the artist. The displays will also contain a QR code which links to a page with more information.  All publicity and signage in the space is digital.  
___If you are interested in showing at HEX Pixel Gallery please send a CV and/or artist statement and links to a few pieces of your work to contact@hexpixelgallery.com
__Things to consider when applying:
1. HEX is heavily focused on high resolution digital work, so please know that HEX prefers HD content over SD, especially for single channel video work.
2. HEX is only open one day a month, so interactive or installation work needs to be temporary and able to be quickly installed and uninstalled.
3. HEX really likes your shoes. Are they new?
__________Love HEX.

Icad Sonification Competition

Call for Entries: Sonification Competition for ICAD 2012

Theme: Listening to the World Listening

Composers, sound artists, and sonification researchers are invited to create sonifications for the ICAD 2012 sonification competition.

About ICAD

The 18th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD2012) will be held June 18-22, 2012 , at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the heart of midtown Atlanta , Georgia . The event will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1st International Conference on Auditory Display. Since 1992, ICAD has been the premier international venue for the dissemination and discussion of work related to the science, art, and practice of sound as a communicative display. Through its active Sonification Lab and Center for Music Technology, Georgia Tech is pleased to host ICAD's vibrant community of researchers and practitioners on its campus.

Competition Theme

ICAD 2004 titled its sonification competition ‘Listening to the Mind Listening’ and invited entrants to sonify EEG data captured while a subject was listening to music. The ICAD 2012 competition is inspired by this same idea: music (or sound) about listening to music. It is also inspired by the radical changes over the past decade in how we listen to music and how we share our listening activities with others. As portable media players and always-connected smartphones have become our primary listening platforms, social media services have become our primary sharing platforms.

This competition adopts the theme ‘Listening to the World Listening’ as it challenges us to explore what we can learn about listening through the analysis and sonification of social media data about listening.

There is no static data set for this competition; instead, entrants are invited to use a set of data APIs to obtain social media listening data. Use of a Twitter Music Trends data feed, which aggregates music listening data from Twitter by artist, is required. Entrants may optionally gather related data about the tweets themselves from the Twitter API, and about the referenced artists from the MusicBrainz and Echo Nest APIs. Detailed information about each API is included in the full call at http://distributedmusic.gatech.edu/icad/.

Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2012

Notification of finalists: April 1, 2012

Submission Requirements:

Sonifications may be fixed-media audio files, interactive software programs or web sites, smartphone apps, musical performances, or sound installations. They may sonify the data in real time or out of real time. They may work with as little as a single set of fifty artists from Twitter Music Trends or as much as several months worth of data collected across all of the APIs.

Submissions must include an audio or video recording, no more than five minutes in length, of the complete sonification, excerpts from the sonification, or documentation of the sonification, as appropriate. Submissions must also include a 2-4 page statement, following the ICAD 2012 paper template, that describes the techniques used to create the sonification and the motivations behind them.

All questions should be addressed to Jason Freeman, ICAD 2012 Music Chair.

Call for Submissions: Anomalous Press: Call for literary arts

From: ericamena Link: http://www.anomalouspress.org/

Location: AnomalousPress.org
We accept submissions all the time.

       Anomalous Press, a new multi-format multi-media literary arts journal, welcomes submissions of literary works of texts (poetry, fiction, nonfiction and translation) and especially seeks hybrid, muti- and new media, audio or video literary works, and images.
       We realize literary is a slippery term, and we most assuredly do not mean the fifth definition as listed on Dictionary.com. Neither do we think of the term as exclusive—H.G. Wells and Anaïs Nin created great works of literature. If it’s good, it’s good. Period.
       We want works that challenge us, and challenge you, to move outside our comfort zones, individually and collectively, and socially and anti-socially, and liminally and subliminally, and into spaces new and old and musty and fresh.
       Full guidelines available at anomalouspress.org

chaba sound review
        The aim of this blog is to provide those sound artists who prefer to release their work in the digital-only realm a small filter for content in the experimental/unusual/sound art categories of audio releases. I believe that while CD releases will continue to be an important format for distribution, digital releases will begin making a foray into the realm of the everyday.

        Submissions for review may be e-mailed to: chaba @ duchamp.inbox5.com

Best,
John
