Rhizome.org Time Shares: "13 Most Beautiful Avatars, an exhibition in Second Life's increasingly popular Ars Virtua gallery --a virtual nonprofit arts organization-- captures the most visually dynamic and celebrated 'stars' of Second Life. The Matteses have been living in the virtual world, Second Life, for over a year, exploring its terrain and interacting with its peculiar inhabitants. The result of their 'video-game flanerie' is this series of portraits.

The 13 Most Beautiful Avatars images will be exhibited, in the real-world, at the Italian Academy at New York's Columbia University. For the Ars Virtua show, in Second Life, a 3D replica of this physical exhibition space has been recreated for presentation of an exhibition identical to the 'real' one."

Ars Electronica FESTIVAL: "SIMPLICITY is a complex topic that has no single,
simple answer.
We live in an increasingly complex technological world where nothing works like it is supposed to, and
at the end of the day makes all of us hunger for simplicity to some degree. Yet ironically when given the
choice of more or less, we are programmed at the
genetic level to want more.%u201CWould you like the big
cookie or the smaller cookie?%u201D or %u201CWould you like the
computer with ten processors or just one?%u201D The
choice is simple really, or is it?
For the Ars Electronica Symposium on SIMPLICITY
we think together about what simplicity (and complexity)
means in politics, life, art, and technology.
Expect more than you can ever imagine, and less."

The idea is to make a video to go with the audio clip. Anything that allows you to do that is acceptible. Phone cameras, web cam, HD cameras, computer drawings, whatever. It just has to be video and you have to be able to get it to us to see without mailing your laptop. Esoteric formats discouraged. If we can't make it play, it is disqualified.

If your video is selected for inclusion in our screening, we will want a copy of the highest quality version you have. However, you should submit a 320x240 version for our advance screening. See below for how to submit.

Glowlab

2006-03-10T16:44:00.000-05:00

Glowlab is an artist-run production and publishing lab engaging urban public space as the medium for contemporary art and technology projects. We track emerging approaches to psychogeography, the exploration of the physical and psychological landscape of cities. Our annual Conflux festival, exhibitions, events and our bi-monthly web-based magazine support a network of artists, researchers and technologists around the world.

Psychogeography is an open and highly experimental discipline concerned with the ways in which the geographic environment affects emotions and behavior. The Situationists first coined the term psychogeography in the 1950s. They explored the city by engaging in “dérives” or observational drifts with the intention of discovering new perspectives on urban life. Current approaches to psychogeography vary, and include artistic, political, philosophical and scientific work in fields ranging from architecture to street art. Glowlab is particularly interested in the psychogeographic elements of contemporary public-space art, including performance, documentary work, film/video and urban research. We aim to bring together diverse perspectives on emerging methods and practice of psychogeography.
