| In support of young scholars conducting innovative research in contemporary art, Art&Education is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for its inaugural Papers Prize, which includes a research sum of 2000 USD and the opportunity to present a paper at a conference, organized by Artforum & e-flux co-sponsored by Society of Contemporary Art Historians, on the subject of the deregulation in art practice and history. What is the relationship between art and deregulation? Over the past four decades, the deregulation of global markets has been accompanied by the rise of flexible labor, the proliferation of highly sophisticated financial instruments, and increasing social complexity. Art&Education wishes to examine the possible links between such economic shifts, the putative rise of post-industrial society, and contemporary artistic practices, taking into account the renewed global interest in performativity, social and technological networks, and collaboration. By considering such topics in dialogue or counterpoint with historical precedents, we hope to arrive at a more sophisticated understanding of artistic production and reception today–a field in which rules aren't bent but are simply fluid. Proposals may include subjects such as:
Daniel Birnbaum, Director, Moderna Museet Claire Bishop, Associate Professor of Art History, The Graduate Center, CUNY Tim Griffin, Artforum International Suzanne Hudson, Co-founder and President of the Society of Contemporary Art Historians Molly Nesbit, Professor Art History, Vassar College Brian Kuan Wood, Editor, e-flux journal One submission will be chosen as a recipient of the Art&Education Papers Prize. The winner and two-runners up will be given the opportunity to present a 20-minute portion of their research at a conference, featuring both invited and submitted papers and presentations. Details will be announced at a later date. Texts should be research-based articles pertaining to art history or contemporary art, and may be drawn from conference papers, seminar papers, dissertation chapters, etc. All submitted texts will be considered for publication on Art&Education We ask that you submit pieces anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 words with a 100 word abstract and full contact information by midnight of May 30th 2011. No late submissions will be considered. Please submit articles, abstract and bios by email to papers@artandeducation.net. A free contributor-driven platform, A&E Papers seeks to expand publication opportunities for art historians, theorists, curators, and artists, and to make papers more easily available to the public. | ||

Jeff Koons Must Die! (by Hunter Jonakin)
"Jeff Koons Must Die!!! is made up of a fabricated 80’s style stand-up arcade cabinet, and a simulated digital environment presented in a first-person perspective. Viewers must pay twenty-five cents to play the game and the virtual environment is traversed with a joystick and two arcade buttons. The premise of the video game is to allow the viewer to virtually destroy work by the artist, Jeff Koons."

google's institute for internet & society, berlin
via Geert Lovink on nettime, march 19th 2011
http://www.
The following mission statement has been developed by the
multistakeholder team that boostraps the research institute. The
mission statement is meant to serve as a totem for the community
behind the institute; it is therefore a living document that will
develop over time.
Mission Statement (Version 1.0)
The Internet and society research institute (*the name is not decided
yet*) centers on research and deliberation on the culture and practice
of (1) Internet based innovation, (2) Internet policy, and (3) related
legal aspects. We strive to provide insights enabling all stakeholders
to better shape the transformations the Internet stimulates within our
networked societies in Germany, Europe and internationally.
Specifically, the institute:
• focuses on transdisciplinary research and collaboration between
academics, policy makers, civil society and private sector.
• promotes a humanistic conception of the Internet and a user
centered approach to Internet policy making and innovation, multi-
stakeholder governance in digital ecosystems, their relationship with
society, and their constitutional implications.
• supports the continued development of a free¹ and open² Internet
and its potential to increase welfare, democratic capacity, sciences
and the arts. Hence we aim to better understand the qualities,
dynamics, and implications of the Internet with regard to society and
governance at large.
¹free space = in that there are little restrictions on content and
behavior and contribution is broadly permitted
²open space = based on a philosophy of openess, i.e. open standards
that ensure interoperability and open innovation

FAQs
Q: Which institutions and who are you working with to set up the
institute?
A: We are currently in the process of identifying the best academic
partners. We hope to announce the concrete plans including the
academic institutions and the team of leading academics within the
next months after we have reached a final agreement.
Q: When will the Institute start its operations?
A: The plan is to inaugurate the institute later in the year.
Q: Why are you funding such a research institute?
A: Web-based innovations cause a variety of social, economic and
political transformations. These demand interdisciplinary research
carried out in a specialized center of excellence. While Germany is
already the home to many world class researchers the Internet and
society institute will give the community a space to exchange and
learn from each other and to tap into the insights of other
stakeholders from civil society, business and politics.
Additionally, we want to further our investments in Germany and we
believe that such an independent research institute will improve
understanding and discussion about Internet governance and Internet
based innovation.
Q: What are the research subjects of the institute?
The Internet & Society Institute centers on research and deliberation
on the culture and practice of (1) Internet based innovation, (2)
Internet policy and (3) legal aspects.
Q: Will the Institute focus on research about/for Germany?
A: The institute will strive to provide insights enabling all
stakeholders to better steer the transformations the Internet
stimulates within our networked societies in Germany, Europe and
internationally.
Q: Where will the institute be based, will it be with the Humboldt?
A: We are currently finding the best organisational set-up for the
institute. Humboldt University is one of the potential partners and
possible hosts for the institute.
Q: Who will be heading the institute?
A: We believe the institute should be led by a board made up of
thought leaders from academia, the Internet community, politics and
web entrepreneurs.
Q: Will the name be the Google Institute?
We believe that the institute should be independent and pursue an
academic mission that is in the public interest.
Q: Is this the first time you are installing such an institute or is
there a role model from Google in other countries?
A: Yes, this is the first time we are founding a research institute
for Internet and society.
Q: How many professors/staff will be working there?
A: It is too early to talk about details. The idea is to work with a
core faculty that organizes and supervises research through Calls for
Proposals, with PhD-students as well as national and international
partner institutions.
Q: Will the institute be open for other companies/institutions as
well? Can others support with additional funding?
A: We are actively looking to work with partners from academia, civil
society and the private sector. We are certain this will be an
important step to broaden the scope, relevance and impact of the
institute.

The Video Vortex Reader II: Moving Images Beyond YouTube (2011)
Geert Lovink, Rachel Somers Miles (eds.)
(reblogged from monoskop)
Following the success of the mailing list, the website and first Video Vortex Reader in 2008, recent Video Vortex conferences in Ankara (October 2008), Split (May 2009) and Brussels (November 2009) have sparked a number of new insights, debates and conversations regarding the politics, aesthetics, and artistic possibilities of online video. Through contributions from scholars, artists, activists and many more, Video Vortex Reader II asks what is occurring within and beyond the bounds of Google’s YouTube? How are the possibilities of online video, from the accessibility of reusable content to the internet as a distribution channel, being distinctly shaped by the increasing diversity of users taking part in creating and sharing moving images over the web?

celebrating the 100th international women's day - 100 female artists and digital media
(i posted this on my p/art//icles blog before:
This project was done on March 8th, 2011, the 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day. Throughout the day I had been posting female artists working in the field of New Media Art to twitter and facebook. The goal was to post 100 artists for the 100th anniversary.
a short notice:
A few of the artists included might or might not be women. After 100 years of the celebration of International Women's Day what it means to be female has to be expanded and embrace gender rather than sex.
This list of 100+ female media artists is necessarily incomplete, please add more artists in the comments field! (the focus here is on artists + digital media; curators, theoreticians,... will be the focus of a separate project)
There is absolutely no intended order in this list. The entries on top were the last ones, the entries on the bottom of the list the starting points.
enjoy!
START: 11.12 am

A Little-Known Story about a Movement, a Magazine, and the Computer’s Arrival in Art New Tendencies and Bit International, 1961–1973
This recent MIT press publication documents a short-lived but intense artistic experiment that took place in Yugoslavia fifty years ago but has been influential far beyond that time and place: the New Tendencies movement, which begun in Zagreb in 1961. Pursuing the idea of “art as visual research"” the New Tendencies movement proceeded along a path that led from Concrete and Constructivist art, Op art, and Kinetic art to computer-generated graphics, film, and sculpture.
With their exhibitions and conferences and the 1968 launch of the multilingual, groundbreaking magazine Bit International, the New Tendencies transformed Zagreb into an international meeting place where artists, engineers, and scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain gathered around the then-new technology. For a brief moment in time, Zagreb was the epicenter of explorations of the aesthetic, scientific, and political potential of the computer.

The Philosophy of Software and the Ontology of Code
Simon Yull & David Berry present @ Goldsmiths
Date: 17 March 2011 - 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Venue/Location: Room RHB 309 (Main Building) Goldsmiths, New Cross, London
Simon Yuill: The Ontology of Code and the Coding of Ontology
David Berry: The Philosophy of Software: Code and Mediation in the Digital Age
The Philosophy of Software: Code and Mediation in the Digital Age
David Berry
Palgrave Macmillan, May 2011
http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Software-Code-Mediation-Digital/dp/0230244181
review on furtherfield:
"As software increasingly structures the contemporary world, curiously, it also withdraws, and becomes harder and harder for us to focus on as it is embedded, hidden, off-shored or merely forgotten about. The challenge is to bring software back into visibility so that we can pay attention to both what it is (ontology), where it has come from (through media archaeology and genealogy) but also what it is doing (through a form of mechanology), so we can understand this ‘dynamic of organized inorganic matter’. In this talk I want to present some of the arguments of my new book, The Philosophy of Software, but also to think through some of the implications of code/software for the changing nature of the university itself."

Copy, Rip, Burn: The Politics of Copyleft and Open Source
David Berrry,
Pluto Press, 2008
http://www.amazon.com/Copy-Rip-Burn-Politics-Copyleft/dp/0745324142/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1
from: http://stunlaw.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
"The production of non-proprietary software, more commonly known as free/libre and open-source software (FLOSS), has taken parts of the academic, activist and governmental world by storm. It has not only forced an intellectual reassessment of theories of human nature and creativity that help justify the expansion of intellectual property regimes, but it has also inspired academics, journalists and activists to craft similar endeavours.
David Berry, mindful of these developments, has written a persuasive account on the politics of copyleft and open source. Copy, Rip, Burn stands apart from its cohort because of its overtly critical bent. Berry offers a rich discursive analysis of FLOSS, but also situates it within the backdrop of capitalist forces that ultimately blunt, he argues, its radical potential. Within this general frame, he also builds - and this is the intellectual heart of his book - a typology drawn from the Roman legal system, which he uses to explode the binaries between private/public and property/commons commonly used to describe FLOSS. Given Berry's fresh intellectual contribution, this book is a must-read for any scholar or activist interested either in FLOSS or the general politics of IP regulation.

Media Archaeology. Approaches, Applications, and Implications
Edited by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka
University of California Press, May 2011
The book introduces an archaeological approach to the study of media - one that sifts through the evidence to learn how media were written about, used, designed, preserved, and sometimes discarded. With contributions from internationally prominent scholars, the essays help us understand how the media that predate today’s interactive, digital forms were in their time contested, adopted and embedded in the everyday. Providing a broad overview of the many historical and theoretical facets of Media Archaeology as an emerging field, the book encourages discussion by presenting a full range of different voices. By revisiting ‘old’ or even ‘dead’ media, it provides a richer horizon for understanding ‘new’ media in their
complex and often contradictory roles in contemporary society and culture.
The introduction is available here.

INSECT MEDIA: An Archaeology of Animals and Technology
By Jussi Parikka, University of Minnesota Press | 320 pages | 2010Posthumanities Series, volume 11
Book launch /March 4th, 19.00, General Public, Schönhauser Allee 167c, Berlin
Insect Media analyzes how insect forms of social organization - swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence - have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society. Through close engagement with the pioneering work of insect ethologists, posthumanist philosophers, media theorists, and contemporary filmmakers and artists, Jussi Parikka provides a radical new perspective on the interconnection of biology and technology.
