*Open Call -*
*video works for LIAF 2008*
*Lofoten International Art Festival* invites you to send video
material for their forthcoming screening program. The program will be
shown on different sites throughout the Lofoten Islands as well as at
the "transit- areas and ports" to Lofoten Islands. The festival opens
14th June and closes 7th September 2008.
The co-curators of LIAF 2008, Taru Elfving and Rickard Borgström, aim
to create an event that involves the local inhabitants and the
participating artists in a dialogue around the questions of
sustainable future and expanded community. More than a thematic frame
these notions give the curators and the artists an ethos and,
furthermore, inform the structure and modes of practice of the coming
festival. The festival hopes to act as an opening, initiating
encounters and shared visions in the present of the yet-to-come.
If you are interested, please send us a DVD and a short description of
the work(s) to
LIAF- open call, Post Box 285, NO- 8301 Svolvær, Norway
*Deadline for submissions is 25th Feburary 2008.*
The video works should not be longer than 10 minutes.
For further information contact LIAF at po...@liaf.no

Some information on Lofoten islands and the festival:
Lofoten is an archipelago with a unique and fragile ecosystem located
in the Northern Atlantic Ocean above the Arctic Circle. It is becoming
increasingly charged as a political arena due to the national
resources, fish and oil. Simultaneously the expanding tourist industry
is making its mark on the islands and the local community.
LIAF (Lofoten International Art Festival) is a contemporary art
festival that takes place every second summer at Lofoten islands in
Northern Norway. The festival is entering a new phase with an emphasis
on site-specificity and commissioned work. For further information on
the festival see www.liaf.no <http://www.liaf.no/>

_Degradarte
_Call for submissions
1.choose a copyright protected artwork (video, images, music,
text...)
2.degrade it, applying one or more digital processes to reduce its
qualities (resolution, sampling frequency, text readability, depending
on the media type)
3.make sure that the original object is recognizable in the finished
work, and that it is suitable to be shown on a webpage
4.send it to us!
We invite all new media artists to participate, exhibiting and
discussing their degraded works of art at the lab
DegradArte
[http://lab.nova100.ilsole24ore.com/degradarte]
_What is 'Degradarte'?
A work of 'Degradarte' is a work of art (images, music, poetry...)
created in conformance with the Italian proposed law S1861.
[ http://www.interlex.it/testi/s1861.htm ]
This new law, formulated with the consulency of a permanent advisory
committee on copyright (composed by politicians, academics, rights
management companies such as the italian SIAE and FIMI, and, for the
first time, members of the panorama of the digital associations,
represented by members of the Frontiere Digitali network), states, at
the article 2 comma 1-bis:
'The publishing of low resolution or degraded versions of protected
images and sounds is allowed in the Internet Network, free of charge,
for scientific and educational use, as long as this use is not aimed
at profit'
The legislator states, in this way, a principle of 'negative
aesthetics': the degrade is the constraint to bear for the free
diffusion of a work of art.
But the degrading process imposed by this law can be used as a
euristic creative process, giving life to freely avaliable works of
art:
from degrading art, to the art of degrading!
And it's not all. The only apparently simple statement affirmed by the
italian legislator is a truly problematic one.
On one side the problem is the evaluation of the level of 'degrading'
of contents, keeping an eye on the technological evolution (eg.: what
was, only a few months ago, 'high resolution', can easily be, today,
in 'low resolution'), the compression technologies, the possibilities
offered by the new media in terms of reproduction of digital contents,
and in video, image, sound and text processing.
On the other side we need to look at artworks in their essence: music,
image, and text require specific degrading processes, and each of them
is connected to specific aspects of their communicative and
informational processes.
This reform attempt performed by the italian institutions puts us in
the conditions to start a debate on the 'degradability' of a digitally
reproduced work of art. A work of art that is digitally distributed
is, as a matter of fact, 'degraded' in nature (compressed, sampled,
scannerized...)
A brand new aesthetic and semiotic research movement is born. We want
to investigate on the methodologies, techniques and theories to create
and/or re-elaborate works of art to produce new ones conformant to the
requisites for degradation needed for their free circulation on the
Internet.
As required by the law.
_How to participate
To participate, send an email to cont...@degradarte.org containing
your degraded art work (or a link so that we can download it )
together with
- a short description of the work and of the degrading processes used
(about/maximum 200 words);
- a short personal presentation.
The works will be hosted at the 'Degradarte' laboratory
[ http://lab.nova100.ilsole24ore.com/degradarte ]
they will be collected and published on the website
[ http://www.degradarte.org ]
they will be judged and presented in a public event in Italy (jury,
date and location are being determined in these days)
