CALL: BigDigit Mobile Content Opportunities for Animators and Filmmakers
Deadline: Open
http://www.bigdigit.com
We have two opportunities for content makers that are worth noting: in August we are producing ‘The World’s Smallest Animation Festival’ in association with Computer Graphics World magazine (http://www.cgw.com) at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles. The WSAF is an awesome opportunity for animators to get their works onto mobile phones. In September for the 2nd year we are producing ‘The World’s Smallest Film Festival’ - London, in association with Mobile Commerce World (now Mobile Content World). The MCW show is a high-level event attracting the leaders of the mobile media value chain from Europe and is arguably the place to make the best deals in this space.
Content-makers interested in submitting works for these or any of our events can get information at the BigDigit web site, at http://www.bigdigit.com. There is no charge for submitting content, but if you become famous because of it you will have to pay for lunch!
See you on the small screen!

LiveModern.com - Modernist Housing
LiveModern is a free and open community for modern home buyers, architects, builders, developers, lenders, realtors—anyone interested in modernist housing.
They feature the Glidehouse (pictured above) by Sausalito architect, Michelle Kaufmann.
The Glidehouse was the featured attraction at Sunset Magazine’s Celebration Weekend held in Menlo Park, CA in May 2004. After taking the tour through the home, I was impressed. It felt more spacious than I expected and the quality was high.

CALL: Digital Artist-in-residence (Pace Digital Gallery)
Deadline: 10/1/2004
http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/Opportunities.html
The Pace Digital Gallery and The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) is pleased to offer an artist’s residency beginning Spring 2005. This is a pilot program. We are offering a digital artist the opportunity to work with CAM’s resources to produce a new artwork.
Site
The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) Is a collaborative research environment located in Pace University’s School of Computer Science and Information Systems in downtown New York City. Its goal is to develop computer-oriented, human-centered systems that help people solve problems by transforming the way they experience the world and the way they collaborate within it. CAM is founded on Pace University’s collective faculty experiences in software engineering, human-computer interaction, information visualization, and computer graphics. These computing fields are fundamentally human-centric, with design as the common approach to complex representational problems. Because visual artists, musicians, and writers possess different perceptual, design, and representational skills, CAM is interested in augmenting its computer science foundations with participants who work in the arts and humanities to broaden the research and educational mix.
The Pace University’s Digital Gallery is an outgrowth of CAM’s conceptual foundation, executed as the combined initiative between CAM and Fine Arts Department. Its goal is to foster the creation and understanding of digital art for the benefit of Pace University and the surrounding community. It furthers Pace Universityâ??s commitment to educational excellence, diversity, and civic involvement by exhibiting curated work of leading digital artists, as well as the work of Pace faculty and students. It sponsors lectures and symposia on digital art, and supports publication of materials for its documentation and promotion.
Residency
The artist-in-residence will have the opportunity to work with CAM faculty and students whose research includes computer graphics, virtual reality, image processing, human-computer interaction, and collaborative computing. This work is supported by technology that includes a virtual reality display system, networked PCs, multi-display and plasma display systems, projectors, video cameras, scanners, etc.
The artist-in-residence will be expected to produce a new artwork during their tenure at Pace (January 30 - May 10, 2005), which will remain the property of the artist. Pace Digital Gallery will produce, with the artist, a printed brochure about the work completed in residence, and will expect the artist to give a presentation of their work to the Pace Community and the general public. Pace Digital Gallery will also feature the artist on our website, and in gallery space at Pace University. There will be a modest stipend, but no living accommodations are provided. Access to equipment will be Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 6:00PM, and Saturday from 8:00AM to 3:00PM.

CALL: transmediale.05 Award
Deadline: September 15, 2004
http://www.transmediale.de/05/pdf/tm05_call.pdf
transmediale, international media art festival Berlin, invites submissions for its Award Competition.
The competition highlights outstanding contemporary artistic positions in digital media art. The international jury will award one main prize of EUR 4.000 (a little over $6,000), and two second prizes of EUR 2.000 (a little over $3,000) each.
We invite the submission of works and projects that respond to this challenge. We remain interested in works that expand our understanding of interactivity, of digital image aesthetics, of narrative and, in particular, the cultural significance of software and computer programming as cultural techniques. However, we are also curious to see the submission of works outside of these areas, works that encourage us to reconsider the traditional boundaries defining artistic practice, and works which can make a strong argument for the crucial role that new technologies should play in our perception and projection of a contemporary global culture.

Call For Essays/Critical Works

It will reflect about the relationship of objects and words, and the capability of moving images to construct meaning. The videos are made by a wide variety of video artists from different countries and language speakers using video in its work. Videos should not contain words neither on the images nor on the soundtrack, so the dictionary is available for speakers of all languages. However, English will be the primary language for classify and order the entries.
