Re: [NetBehaviour] Semiotics and Figure/Ground Relationships
Perhaps Umberto Eco¹s Development of Medieval Aesthetics where he takes a semiotic approach to understanding how representational space functions as ideological and social form. Otherwise, Barthes Camera Lucida, where he muses upon the emotional import of the photographic image through a semiotic lens.

It is my understanding that semiotics deals with discrete signs and symbols. And that aesthetics deals in no small part with figure/ground relationships. These are not discrete signs and symbols. Is there any semiotic writing that deals with figure/ground relationships, or are figure/ground relationships kryptonite to semiopsy? I have in mind something like "Perspective As Symbolic Form", but for semiotics and figure/ground relationships rather than symbolic form and perspective. :-) - Rob. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour Edinburgh College of Art (eca) is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC009201 ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Language in Digital Performance.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Language in Digital Performance. The 3rd International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling invites submissions for its digital text performance programme. Language in Digital Performance Inspace: nobody can hear you scream ... Performances: 31 October, 2010, Inspace, University of Edinburgh, UK Conference: 01-03 November 2010, The Hub, Edinburgh, UK http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/icids2010 Submission Deadline: July 31, 2010 Notification of acceptance: August 30, 2010 Submissions too: icids2010-p...@macs.hw.ac.uk The 3rd International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling and New Media Scotland welcome proposals for performance and short duration installation art works that employ digital text and interactivity as their primary artistic components. Submitted works should engage computational techniques as essential in their ontology. This includes works that employ generative, interactive, networked and/or hypermedia techniques. It does not include works which could exist without the computer being involved in their production and diffusion. The performance event will be held on Halloween. The proposals may wish to engage the spirit of this festival. Submissions should include a 300 word abstract describing the conceptual, artistic and technical details of the proposed work and a separate biographical statement (no more than 300 words). The technical description should include clear indication of technical and other resource requirements, duration and space requirements. Where possible the conference will seek to ensure that the necessary equipment and resources will be available for accepted works, although this will depend on the requirements of each individual project. Documentation of the proposed work, either of prior instances of its presentation or simulations, are required. This can consist of a web page containing the material, with the URL address indicated in the abstract, or a DVD or CD appended to the proposal. The submission must be made at the full cost of the proposer. Any proposal that incurs cost for the conference will be rejected. Proposals will be reviewed by a sub-committee of the conference programme committee. Accepted proposals will, after notification, be negotiated with the proposer(s) to assure their optimal presentation and the fit of each work in the overall programme of the evening performance event. Along with a peer reviewed selection of works a small number of key practitioners in the field will be invited to present their work as keynote works.

[NetBehaviour] Topographies of the Insignificant
Blogs / Topographies of the Insignificant: Seeking Contributors from Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, Paris, Luxembourg and Moscow... Topographies of the Insignificant: Seeking Contributors from Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, Paris, Luxembourg and Moscow Originally found at: http://turbulence.org/blog/2010/06/04/topographies-of-the-insignificant/ In early 2009, Anders Bojen & Kristoffer Ørum initiated a collaborative project in which a team of architects, artists, designers, engineers and musicians created an alternative vision of Copenhagen, an imaginary future as a reaction to present day. All the contributors shared an interest in alternative realities and how these, through the internet and other media, play an increasing important role in their common understanding of the world. Using Google maps and Wiki technologies, together they strived to rethink Copenhagen in both dystopian and utopian terms on Radiant Copenhagen. Continuing on from the project Radiant Copenhagen, they are working on the fictionalization of ultra local spaces in a series of different cities rather than one whole city. The project is envisioned as a contemporary version of An Anecdoted Topography of Chance by Daniel Spoerri, set in the globalized media saturated world of 2010. Topographies of the Insignificant will connect local micro-topographies of Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, Paris, Luxembourg and Moscow in a network of fiction and fact. They are seeking a selected number of collaborators based in, with connection to or are simply knowledgeable about these cities. The project takes the form of a website with an “infinitely” zoom-able map of the world. Extra detailed zones that enable the user to zoom down to a micro level and see actual cracks of the pavement as they were great valleys will be added. The extremely detailed map of 7 very limited locations is in close proximity to the physical show where the project also will be presented on one or more computers. Throughout each of the locations, 100-200 click-able points are located. Each click-able point on the map opens up a small text window featuring fictional or factual information on this specific point, and links to other points and texts. Multiple narratives weave in and out of each other and researched facts about found objects and their history will mix freely with fictional accounts and imagined micro-topologies. The collaborative writing process itself will take place online on a wiki-page during July, August and some of September, in parallel with the actual programming of the final website. New points will be placed on the maps and text will be written for them. All texts are open for editing or expansion by other members of the group and the hope is to blur the boundaries on ownership between the participants and make as many connections between the different points as possible. Through a willful misunderstanding, we hope to turn the apparently well-known city pavements into a mixture of space operatic visions of the future and histories of the past. The online photographic and narrative portrayal of the website will be supplemented by physical interventions and alterations on the sites of the photographs in each of the cities: The same coffee cup will feature in each city, the splotch of paint etc., further blurring the boundaries of fact and fiction. Through collective and deliberate misunderstanding, over-interpretation and fictive connections between the 7 physical sites, we hope to reflect upon the possibility of radically rethinking the city from the bottom up. If you are interested in participating, please send an email containing a brief bio, a couple of lines of text describing how you would approach the project and anything else you may find relevant to the project, before July 1st. You need not be an artist, but you should be fairly proficient in English, have some writing experience and an interest in urbanity. Please write to: topograph...@anders-kristoffer.dk " target="_blank">topograph...@anders-kristoffer.dk The project is a part of the European month of photography (http://90plan.ovh.net/~europeandq/) P.s. There will be a small fee for participants, the size of which depends on whether or not we receive the funding we’ve sought - It will not make you rich but it might make your life just a little easier. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] Call for Entries : Métamatic Research Initiative.
Call for Entries : Métamatic Research Initiative. Artists from all disciplines are invited to submit proposals. The works of art should question and explore the relationship between the maker, the viewer and the status of the art object. The starting point for this research is the artistic legacy of Jean Tinguely’s Métamatics, a series of sculptural machines capable of producing works of art. An international jury of experts will make a selection from the proposals after the deadline on 1 September 2010. The six successful applicants will receive a commission to execute their proposals. To be part of this extraordinary initiative, do the following: * Read the Brochure * Gather the required material for your application, including the Application Form * Upload your entry to our server Entries should be submitted before 1 September 2010, by uploading them to our server.

[NetBehaviour] Welcome to the June issue of Furthernoise.org.
Welcome to the June issue of Furthernoise.org. For your reading and listening pleasure, we have a hefty issue loaded with features and reviews on a diverse range of international noise makers. Our audio player is once again replenished with new sounds, so turn up the volume and enjoy ! Furthernoise issue June 2010 http://www.furthernoise.org/index.php?iss=86 "Something New: Moritz von Oswald Trio" (feature) Vertical Ascent sees Moritz von Oswald return to the fray to conspire with fellow tech-vets, Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. A hybrid of techno, dub and Fourth World fusion, the timbral density, low- and high-end science, and a certain recursion are remotely familiar from of old, with something new coming from a live performance element. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=335 feature by Alan Lockett "Something Old: Monolake, Fluxion" (feature) The 15th year of Monolake was inaugurated with Silence. Robert Henke's latest evidences plenty still left in the creative tank. Something old, renewed. The same cannot be said for lately returned once fellow-traveller, Fluxion, whose dub and tech-house infused Perfused gives off a less than fresh aroma. Something old, alas, gone blue. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=338 feature by Alan Lockett "21st Century Preparation Man" (review) Eric Glick Rieman's prepared Rhodes electric piano involves as much dismantling as insertion, with the insides spread across the performing space, not to mention electronic preparations. What sets Rieman's music apart immediately are the mechanical noises and other native artifacts of the original instrument. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=340 review by Caleb Deupree "Fear of Stranglers - Gail Priest" (review) For some time now, Gail Priest has been exploring the timbre and elasticity of sound in a way that has become distinctly her own. Her new ep, Fear of Stranglers, is the next installment of this exploration, and takes her vocal and sonic manipulations to new levels of textural improvisation and processing. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=343 review by Roger Mills "Flight of the Solstice Queens - Blue Sausage Infant" (review) Washington DC based Blue Sausage Infant paints a dizzying array of sonic wash pulsing with color and Flight of the Solstice Queens does not fit neatly in any given sub-genre of drone, noise, or psyche rock. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=341 review by Derek Morton "L Phantasm - Brown Wing Overdrive" (review) New York extreme noise improvisers, Brown Wing Overdrive are back with another sonic assault with their new album L Phantasm. A "best of" collection from their haunted states circa 2006 and beyond, they describe it as a "prequel to all of BWO's releases thus far." Roger Mills investigates. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=342 review by Roger Mills "Something Blue: Pop Ambient 2010" (review) Kompakt marks each year with an issue of drone and tone poems showcasing the best in neo-classical and ambient. Pop Ambient 2010, curated by Kompakt kommissar Wolfgang Voigt, coordinates the usual shades of blue from perennials Marsen Jules, Andrew Thomas, and Thomas Fehlmann, while Brock van Wey makes a PA debut. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=339 review by Alan Lockett "Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review) Berlin's Marcel Dettmann, pre-eminent post-mnml practitioner, delivers his debut, Dettman, which, for all its veneer, is deep in debt to classic techno. Fellow-traveller Belgian producer Peter van Hoesen’s solution to "Techno: the LP Problem" is to tinker with tempo and texture, his Entropic City relieved by cranked down bpms and grit spray. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=334 review by Alan Lockett Roger Mills Editor, Furthernoise ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
