In our third issue of ART-e-FACT, the main point of investigation 
focuses on the ways in which technology and especially new media 
technologies (from digital gadgets, to the Internet and virtual reality 
technology, etc.) change our artistic and cultural paradigms. In which 
ways are artists transformed by technology, and technology reshaped by 
artists and activists? The differences can also be seen as a result of 
the ways in which activists and artists try to break into particles the 
myth of art-culture-technology's happy liaisons. The TECHNOMYTHOLOGIES 
are divided into several areas of investigation and try to raise 
controversial positions taken by artists, theoreticians, performers, 
film and video makers, attacking the myths about technology and the 
technology of the myths from a consistently political point of view.

Various contributions include:
1. Theoretical texts and critical reflection.
2. Presentation of art works from videos and films, photography, 
Internet or web projects.
3. Displaying political, cultural, forensic manifestos along with links 
to interesting projects.

/ /  Call for contributions   /





The field of interest of ART-e-FACT's fourth issue is the amalgam of 
the global and the local.

We wish to focus on the mutation of the globalization process, modes of 
surpassing local confinements of cultural and artistic fields, 
investigation and articulation of glocal/borderline topics and 
practices which do not necessarily generate new narratives, but place 
the already existing/local ones into a global context.

What is it that determines successful models of integration of the 
local into the global, as well as strategies used in a struggle for 
universal recognition and visibility? Are there really new localisms 
being made before globalization can destroy them, as according to Bruno 
Latour? How do we distinguish legitimate from illegitimate glocal 
annexes? What is 'big' and what is 'small' and are these categories 
defined exclusively by the criteria of integration with the rest of the 
world?

How do such phenomena, including a universal nomadization of all who 
participate in these new cultural dynamics (artists, curators, 
architects,...), reflect on design, architecture, urban iconography, 
and a generic appearance of cities?

What defines the new glocalities and what are the cohesive factors in 
shaping the complex glocal/transnational configuration?

Finally, we are interested in the possibility of creating a dynamic 
glocal forum and a regional network based on dialogue (glocalogue), 
intercity network of cultural nomads, leading to a new balance of the 
local and the global.

The call for contributions is open to various modes of articulating the 
topic of the glocal/ogue:
1. theoretical texts and critical reflections
2. short statements by artists, activists, critics
3. artworks‚ e.g. short video and film inserts, photography, internet 
or web projects
4. political and economic manifestos, or simply a list of suggested 
links to interesting projects on the internet, dedicated to this 
subject.


Application deadline is February 1st, 2005.
