Call For Submissions

Projected Intimacy

Deadline: February 28^th 2011

Projected Intimacy ,a project curated by University of Manitoba Fine Art students Helga Jakobson and Dean Robinson, is calling for submissions of work that would pertain to cyberformance art. Never heard of it? Cyberformance art is any performance art which uses the internet as a medium and may include telematic art, or art where telecommunications is the medium.

Projected Intimacy will revolve around works that explore our online interactions. The works we are interested in exhibiting will be those that explore how society uses the cyberworld for intimate interactions. While exploring the concept of intimacy, or that of the projected self, through the private screen of a computer(or any other communication device) we would the like to project that interaction. Also of interest is the use of social networks, the blogosphere, youtube, and any of the other places where we connect in the online world.

This exhibit is open to artists the world over and will be streamed online. In addition to performances there will be a panel discussion, and other works that will stay in the gallery. The exhibit dates are March 15^th through to 17^th,, from 1-4 on each day of the exhibit will be screenings of work. The panel discussion will be on the final day of the exhibit, Thursday March 17^th, at 6:30.

Our focus will be works that amplify the exhibitionism of the internet, in addition we are looking for works that convey the inherent connect/disconnect we experience in our interactions on the internet.

In order to submit your work please include an image, video file, or if these are not possible, then please give us a written explanation with diagrams or sketches that will outline your submission. As well we are asking for a CV.

Submissions may be sent to: projected.intimacy@gmail.com

We are currently working on a blog to generate further ideas: http://projectedintimacyex.blogspot.com

Thank you very much and we look forward to working with you.

Telematic Drum Circle

Created by Byeong Sam Jeon The telematic drum circle is a project between the Korean Arts Council and the University of California Irvine incorporating 16 precussion instruments played over the internet.  This performance piece is an ideal example of Cyberformance, with the participants potentially anywhere in the world playing together in real time making real music.  Fostering community in one of the most ancient of ways the Telematic Drum Circle actively involves people in a global sense of community and tradition.

Hello & Welcome!

Hello and welcome, this blog has been created in conjunction with the Projected Intimacy Exhibit at Gallery 111 curated by Helga Jacobson and Dean Robinson.

Our focus is on cyberformance and telematic art.  We want to explore our experience of the internet in our interactions through art, or in some cases as art.  Whether we are presenting ourselves, interacting with others, or presenting our ideas we are communicating with each other in a very unreal way.  We are having intimate interactions with thousands of people while we may sitting all alone. This blog will be a vehicle for us to explore our ideas as we attempt to understand this new form of intimacy.
