[rohrpost] fully funded media art & design PhD position - University of New South Wales, Sydney suburbs
Hi - dieses Mal auf Englisch, weil es um eine Stelle in Australien geht: This came from Rewa Wright, herself a PhD candidate with Prof. Anna Munster and a very insightful scholar of new media art. Please contact Prof. Munster directly. - Tamiko - Rewa (r.wri...@student.unsw.edu.au) says: This is a fully funded scholarship for up to 4 years for a new PhD student.The Department of Art and Design at UNSW, where Anna and myself are based, is a very pro-female, multicultural, LGBT-friendly workplace and I would highly recommend it. Research funding in Australia is quite generous ( usually about $26,000 PA ). UNSW is located in Paddington, a suburb of Sydney, Australia Professor Anna Munster says: I have a scholarship available to a PhD student for 3 years (and the uni will fund the 4th year extension). But I need a special kind of person. I need someone who can or is capable of learning some database programming skills / wants to experiment with data rendering/data viz AND is over media studies and/or STS or critical visual cultural theory or even political theory/ software studies etc. In some ways this is a bit more like a ‘science’ PhD model but of course I would allow quite a lot of creative outcomes for the person concerned. If you know of anyone who wants to come do a PhD with me but is willing to work more on a specific project - specifically looking at the technological and visual histories of machine learning/pattern recognition and neural networks and to find a way of tracing and visually rendering that history in a meaningful (not infographics) way via data analytical methods as those assemblages conjoin with political, social and cultural forces across some specific empirical domains (facial recognition, for example)– please let me know! cheers Anna Anna Munster a.muns...@unsw.edu.au http://sensesofperception.info Associate Professor, Faculty of Art and Design University of New South Wales P.O Box 259 Paddington NSW 2021 Australia -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] Female graffiti writer documentary GIRL POWER screening November 21, 7 p.m. Czech Center Berlin
"Girl Power“ provides astonishing insights into the unknown world of female graffiti artists in Prague, Europe and the rest of the world. The film introduces key artists and investigates their motives for asserting their position in the (male-dominated) scene while also telling the story of the graffiti art form from its first appearance as tags in 1970s New York City. Sany is a graffiti artist, based in Prague. She started spraying when she was 15. “On my way to school new graffiti names appeared every day along the tram line. That fascinated me. I started to draw on paper and then moved outdoors with my girlfriends.” The young women founded the Girl Power crew – and soon encountered prejudice and rejection in the male-dominated scene. “Go back into the kitchen,” was sprayed over one of their pieces. Not many women stayed in the Prague scene, and Sany became the last survivor. However, she knew there were lots of female writers in other countries and wanted to find out what kept them going. So she had the idea to visit all these women and make a film about them. Almost eight years passed until the film was completed. It premiered in February 2016 in Prague and screened at the One World festival there. Since then “Girl Power” has been invited to numerous festivals around the world. This screening was organized in cooperation with One World Berlin and the Czech Center Berlin, with kind support by Unerhört!
