CALL FOR PARTICIPATION!

"Open_borders: Improvisation Across Networks, Distance, Timezones"
Inviting performers, writers and engaged world citizens to participate VIA
WEB-BASED VIDEO-CONFERENCE TOOLS in a networked performance event.
Participants will contribute short, live, direct-address performances to a
multi-lingual audience of academics, artists, performers and conference
attendees. Live performances will be mixed and processed with additional
imagery and sound to enhance meaning and intensify aesthetic impact. The
final output is then projected and amplified throughout the reception site.
The idea is to "hack" into the conference reception/lounge from somewhere
"else" entirely.

WHEN: Friday, November 21 4:30-6:30pm PST

Hey!!! Listen to this and then git in touch with me to create your own show!!!

Hello, you gorgeous YOURPR.ORG people!

He said. She said. Dems said. Repubs said. The Presidential Election has been going on a LONG time, and I wanted to see what people thought about the process and what they were (or weren’t) getting out of it.

I have always been fascinated by “man on the street” interviews. So, I tried to conduct this segment like that. Granted, these are people I know, but I tried to keep it casual. Thanks to all of the folks who shared their opinions!

Do You Have A Blog? Sign Up for Blog Action Day 2008 (October 15th)

Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the
world's bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same
issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a
global discussion.

This Year's Theme: Poverty

In 2008, the Blog Action Day theme is Poverty. Bloggers are free to
interpret this as they see fit. We invite bloggers to examine poverty
from their own blog topics and perspectives, to look at it from the
macro and micro, as a global condition and a local issue, and to
bring their own ideas, views and opinions on the subject.

One Issue, Thousands of Voices

Global issues like poverty are extremely complex. There is no simple,

THE NEW MILLENNIUM PAPER AIRPLANE BOOK
Coming Spring 2009

Call for entries: Pre-register online now at http://www.publicartfund.org

THE NEW MILLENNIUM PAPER AIRPLANE CONTEST by Klara Hobza is a multifaceted artwork inspired by a historic paper airplane contest that took place in 1967 at the Great Hall in what is now the New York Hall of Science. Built by Wallace K. Harrison to display rockets in the 1964 World's Fair, the Great Hall is a secular cathedral of concrete and colored glass, and for Hobza's one-day event, this unique location will harbor aircraft of a different scale.

Rob Andrews, Franklin Furnace Alumn, seeks performers for November 1 project

Hi All,

I'm looking for upwards of 80 performers for a large scale project on
November 1st, as part of a city-wide series called 40*Phi: Live Art in the
Parks. I've been given Tompkins Square Park on November 1st for the entire
day.

The plan is, on November 1st, Tompkins Square will be overrun by minotaurs
performing tasks. I'm recruiting YOU to be a minotaur for an hour. This
would involve wearing a mask, and following some basic rules. I have a
number of actions/tasks that I would like minotaurs to complete - but am
absolutely open to your ideas. In fact if you have a great idea (i.e. I
would like to sit down by a tree and meticulously debone a fish) even
better.

this is an open call for sound works for an outdoor surround sound
environment at the canaan 2008 music festival, takaka, new zealand.

the canaan music festival is a yearly event running from 31st december
to 3 jan.
The festival is in its 3rd year and is an eclectic mix of alt.rock and
electronic dance music that is family friendly.

whilst there have been an "ambient" zone in the past the current
curator wishes to encourage
the space as a place for presentation of sonic art and experimental
sound with an emphasis on multi -point systems
( with a nod to the ambient roots of the past curators)

Thus:
For the festival a 6-point discrete sound system will be used for
playback of works.

Artists are invited to submit works in stereo,quad, or 6-point

Hello, everyone!! Welcome to el segundo episode of LadyPR. I tried to keep this baby short and sweet, like my dog Olive, so I hope you guys like it. This episode includes the following:

Interview with Lindsay Wachs and her crew of sammie-making comrades. One girl, one back-up crew, 100 sandwiches, 100 oranges, and a desire to put the government’s money to work, serving the people of the Haight.

Interview with Pastor Edwin Weaver, a man who cares about the community of San Francisco. Edwin teaches at Golden Gate Community Church and he is a leader I want to follow. www.ggcc.org
