Dear dance-tech, call for video and installation works concerning or involving the human body, human movement and dance -- not "dance videos" but rather new concepts involving projections and human movement. "In Situ: walls flexible, permeable and virtual" LUDWIG FORUM AACHEN September 15-22, 2001. The prestigious Ludwig Forum museum in Aachen is sponsoring an exhibition of installation and performance works. The museum is available to the artists from 6.september until the final public event on the 22.september. (with additional public performances on the 19 and 20th.) Performance spaces (including 2 10x10 meter white-marley floors as well as smaller rooms), wall space, semi-transparent and opaque screens, technical equipment (video beamers, computers, etc) and technical support (including interactive systems experts) are available, as well fees of ca. 2,000$ fee to each artistic team. Living quarters in Aachen are also available. At this point, we have free places available for 2 - 3 additional projects. Palindrome Intermedia Performing Group is curating the project. Please send proposals and samples (if possible by e-mail) to me. The project is assisted by 01plus Institute for New Media Research in Nürnberg, Germany. With friendly regards, Robert Wechsler Conceptual foundation of Aachen project (DRAFT: 26.07.2001 12:41:15) Approx seven works are integrated into a "master plan" -- a timing structure allowing events to repeat and overlap in different parts of the museum in a strict time-coordinated fashion. Individual elements can thus cycle repeatedly (with built-in pauses if desired) within the total running-time of 2.5 hours. 1. Non-traditional Performance Format alternatives to "frontal" presentation format no clear or central stage within the museum theatricality de-emphasized built-up of cyclically structured event-works works (incl. music and video) are all timed and exactly coordinated into a master timing plan 2. Activity Signals smaller, between-elements (performers with actions) move through the space (and through audience) these elements need not be perceivable to everyone are coordinated with the stationary events to move the focus of audience through the space text elements (written, projected, not spoken) help orient audience what is happening where and when 3. Architecture walls as: 1. flexible 2. fixed 3. virtual performer or audience interactive elements alternative projection surfaces (many strings, walls, floor, ceiling) as well as hanging (visible from both sides) semi-transparent screens space as defined by sound (sound in motion, sound "outside" vs. "inside", etc) 4. Interactivity performer-to-public, public-to-art work, and performer-to-system interactivity encouraged 5. Human body in motion (dance) live, recorded video, live video and real-time processed video ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert Wechsler Artistic Director PALINDROME Inter-media Performance Group Johannisstr. 42 90419 Nürnberg fon: 49 911 39 74 72 fax: 49 911 377 8311 mobile: 49 179 511 0400 http://www.palindrome.de
