1 kilometre 28 metres, 5 minutes 26 seconds, more than 100 buildings become 16,300 images. Images that never look alike. Always new moments, always different people make an endless collage. Scenarios of a day – image per image – are combined to a new whole. What connects each of them is the rigid movement of the tram. A ride along the boundaries of Lend and Gries as a part and as an observer of this urban structure, until you leave it to come back later.

FACELESS (UK / AT 2007, 50 min)
directed by Manu Luksch
voiceover by Tilda Swinton

FACELESS uses CCTV images obtained under the terms of the UK Data Protection Act as 'legal readymades (objets trouvés)'. Legislation requires that the privacy of other persons be protected when data is released – for CCTV recordings, this is typically done by obscuring their faces. Much of FACELESS is driven by the
'Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers'. The manifesto states, amongst other things,
that additional cameras are not permitted on location, since they are rendered
redundant by omnipresent video surveillance.

SYNOPSIS: In an eerily familiar society, the reformed RealTime calendar dispenses with past and future, and all citizens are faceless. A woman panics when she wakes up with a face. With the help of the Spectral Children she unveils the lost power and history of the human face and begins the search for its future.

A network is any system of interconnected points / locations, nodes, which become greater, augmented, than when in isolation. While emphasis is most often placed on the nodes, it is the connections / links / lines / flows, the spaces between, the hinterland of the network, and their resulting mesh / matrix, which provides the site, means and context for the networks ability to transfer and transform. Similarly art can be thought of as a space in-between:

“The work of art occupies a pivotal point between two sets of behaviour, the artist’s and the spectator’s. It is essentially a matrix, the substance between. It exists nether for itself nor by itself.” (Ascott, R. 2003, Telematic Embrace)

On November 20th Open Ear will host an event curated by Garrett Lynch (http://www.asquare.org/) entitled Network which will present performances on this theme. Sound and visual artists / groups working with networks as a thematic or technical element to their work within live performance contexts are invited to contribute to the event. Proposed performances can include the use of networks to dynamically generate or enhance performance, to collaboratively create a performance through a network, to discuss the nature of networks and their impact on society etc. All proposed performances are required to be audio-visual, audio or visual with selection preference given to audio-visual works. Performances can last up to a maximum of 30 minutes each.

As the event is free we are unable to offer individual payment but will provide access to a supply of equipment (please include a list of requirements in your proposal and we will attempt to cater for this) at the venue, suitable refreshments and possibly accommodation if required. Contributions to the event will be included in the DVD of all six events published by the C3U Music Label later in 2008.

Proposals should take the form of a word / pdf / rtf / txt document (two pages maximum) with:

1) A description of the work (500 words maximum).

2) Images to give us an idea of the proposed work.

3) A full list of required equipment (please note that the event will host several performers so complex configurations involving lengthy set-up times will not be catered for).

4) Urls to previous examples of work online.

5) A short bio (200 words maximum).

6) Artist(s) / group / performer(s) name and contact details.

Please email proposals as attachments (not pasted into the email) to Garrett Lynch (garrett [at] asquare dot org) no later than 12pm (GMT), Friday 02/11/07.
