CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Proposals are invited for presentation at the 2006 Subtle Technologies Symposium
June 1st - June 4th, 2006Toronto, Canada
DEADLINE: January 31st, 2006
Subtle Technologies is a four-day multidisciplinary event exploring complex and subtle relationships between art and science. Subtle Technologies' mandate is to blur the boundaries between art and science. The annual event combines symposia, exhibitions and performances that juxtapose cutting-edge artistic projects and scientific exploration. This year's theme for Subtle Technologies is Responsive Architectures. We are interested in investigating how environments and systems can interact and respond to their occupants.We hope for wide-ranging discussions and presentations that explore dynamic systems and environments at every scale, from molecules to continents.Extraordinary new qualities are emerging in the 'responsive' systems that are rapidly being integrated throughout our world, exploiting leaps in technology. This transformation creates critical questions as our capacity to change the world grows, for good and for ill. The symposium encourages a wide definition of architecture that encompasses buildings, mechanical and natural environments.Three kinds of submissions are especially invited. Scientists are invited to contribute current research that relates to the topic. Artists, architects, designers and performers are invited to contribute their ongoing creative work. Writers are invited to contribute discussions of philosophy, history and theory. A range of approaches are welcome including interdisciplinary work that combines these approaches, specialized presentation proposals that focus on a single topic in depth, and general discussions that draw upon multiple topics. To complement the Toronto-wide SoundaXis festival occurring in parallel with Subtle Technologies, sound and acoustics will be a special focus.Examples of possible topics include:
Interactive systems
Adaptive environments
Hybrid ecologies
Smart materials
Buildings that can move and transform
Extended physiology
Complex systems analysis
Expanded perception
Resonance and spatial acoustics
Physics of sound

Lecture by Gerald Raunig
Wednesday, 18.01.2006, 20.00 Shedhalle
Art and Revolution. Art Activism in the Long 20th Century
In this study, author Gerald Raunig presents prolific material for the analysis of the diverse relations of exchange between art and activism based on a poststructuralist revolution theory. Gustave Courbet's engagement in the Paris Commune, German activism of the 1910s, post-revolutionary Soviet art around Eisenstein and Tretjakov, the Situationist Internationale in Paris in May '68, the confrontation of Viennese Actionism and the students movement in the action "art and revolution", and finally the genealogy of the PublixTheatreCaravan from an anarchist theatre collective of the 90s to a transversal interlinking of anti-globalisation and the European noborder network: These exemplary investigations open up an alternative art history of the " long" 20th century.Gerald Raunig (Vienna) is a philosopher and art theoretician. He is codirector of eipcp (European Institute for Progressive Cultural Policies) and coordinator of the transnational research projects republicart <http://www.republicart.net> , und transform <http://www.transform.eipcp.net >. He is a lecturer on political aesthetics at the Institute for Philosophy, University of Klagenfurt/A and at the University of Lüneburg/D and (co-)editor of two series of books at Turia+Kant, Vienna: "republicart. Kunst und Öffentlichkeit" and "es kommt darauf an. Texte zur Theorie der politischen Praxis".The talk was realised collaboration with the Department of New Media, hgk zhttp://www.snm-hgkz.ch
Settimana delle Libertà Digitali 2006
Digital Freedom Week 16-21 gennaio 2006
Il Futuro che Vogliamo
Il Linux Club ospita, anche quest'anno, l'Happening dell'Open Source del Copy Left, che ha lo scopo di diffondere il Software Libero e la Cultura Libera Condivisa.
La Manifestazione si propone di favorire l'uso consapevole delle tecnologie e di internet come strumenti di democrazia, utili per affermare i diritti fondamentali degli individui, come la libertà di espressione e di pensiero; ed infine promuovere le nuove forme di economia sostenibile e responsabile. L'edizione 2006, organizzata da una serie di gruppi e associazioni che si occupano della rete e del digitale, è condizionata positivamente dal clima politico pre-elettorale: si è voluto cogliere l'occasione per far sentire la voce e le istanze dei fruitori del web, dei soggetti interessati all'innovazione tecnologica, dei cosiddetti Stakeholder della Rete. L'Obiettivo è quello di trovare un momento di elaborazione e riflessione, allo scopo di scrivere un documento che sintetizzi, almeno in parte, le esigenze delle realtà e dei soggetti che lavorano nel settore del digitale e stilare un elenco di proposte concrete. Le proposte raccolte verranno quindi presentate alle forze politiche, ai media e ai cittadini. Il Lavoro di elaborazione e discussione viene fatto tramite vie WEB utilizzando lo strumento principe della partecipazione e condivisione: il WIKI, lo stesso strumento utilizzato in quella che può essere definita come una delle più importanti esperienze di diffusione mondiale del Sapere e della Conoscenza condivisa e cioè l'enciclopedia universale WIKIPEDIA. Il Wiki delle Libertà Digitali è sito aperto ai contributi di tutti, che vuole rappresentare un modello per le nuove forme di politica partecipata.Il sito Wiki è visitabile all'URL: https://digitalfreedom.linuxclub.dyndns.org/index.php
Il programma della Settimana delle Libertà Digitali è molto ricco e variegato, il percorso di discussione ed elaborazione si intreccia con iniziative culturali e seminari tecnici per poi proseguire nello spettacolo artistico e musicale.
La serie di appuntamenti riguardanti la definizione di una Piattaforma Programmatica del popolo della Rete prevede un primo incontro il 18 (mercoledì), alle 18 è convocato il Forum degli Stakeholder della Rete, in cui sono invitati tutti i soggetti e le realtà che hanno a che fare con le questioni relative alla Cultura e al Patrimonio Intellettuale, al Digitale, alla innovazione tecnologica, ai media, alla cultura
Giovedì 19 e' invece prevista una giornata di lavori con tavoli tematici dove verrà stilato un documento unitario, le richieste e le proposte.
Successivamente Venerdì 20, sempre alle 18 circa, è prevista la presentazione della "Piattaforma Programmatica" ai politici. Saranno presenti i responsabili per l'innovazione tecnologica dei vari partiti, amministratori locali, giornalisti ed esperti.
La sera del giovedì e del venerdì e tutto il Sabato (dedicato alla Festa delle Libertà Digitali) sono previsti eventi con musica, incontri, seminari, proiezioni di filmati, documentari e video, presentazione di libri e di progetti.
Da Segnalare
Giovedì 18 alle 21,30 la presentazione, alla presenza di Stefano Rodotà, del progetto OpenPolis un Osservatorio dei Politici per una Politica più trasparente che vuole raccogliere in un database liberamente consultabile in rete, tutto (voti, interventi, prese di posizione) sui circa 140000 politici italianiSabato 21, alle 19, un convegno di riflessione politica sociale sull'innovazione tecnologica con Franco Berardi Bifo e Giulio De Petra
La Manifestazione è stata patrocinata dagli assessorati competenti della Regione Lazio, della Provincia e del Comune di Roma, del Municipio Roma XI. Hanno aderito e garantito la loro presenza decine di Associazioni, gruppi, esperti, rappresentanti della Politica, del giornalismo, delle imprese.
