The committee is looking for an artist whose personal contact with the "tangible and intangible Kamiyama Town" will be expressed in his/her art and noticeable in his/her conversations with residents. In other words, the desire is for an artist who can impact on the community.

THE AIM FESTIVAL
AIM, the University of Southern California School of Fine Arts international festival of time-based media, in partnership with the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, is pleased to announce AIM IV Interference Patterns. Focusing on the proliferating spaces in which humans and non-human technologies intersect, Interference Patterns addresses the ways in which our interface apparatus and metaphors transform the communications they mediate.

Considering the interface as the point of separation and connection where machine and human are linked, AIM IV Interference Patterns calls for entries that broach both the actual operations of media and communications technologies in contemporary society and explore the ways in which the hybrid networks developing between human and non-human may introduce an alterity or otherness of which we have yet to conceive. AIM IV will take place February 15 April 13, 2003 and comprise the Interference Patterns exhibition at the Armory Center for the Arts, panel discussions on the USC campus, and satellite events throughout the Los Angeles area.

SUBMISSION CRITERIA Works must be 'time-based' and address the festival theme (however obliquely). Works may be submitted by professionals and students of any age working in any discipline. AIM defines 'time-based' to include Internet-based projects such as websites, collaborative networks, and technologies for spatializing information; hardware design; architectural and urban design projects which centralize the problematics of digital time, duration, and their multiple mediations, at the scale of habitable space; digital media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs; performative, installation, and augmented reality projects; video, digital video, hand-drawn and digital animation; interactive computer games; and sound pieces, - as well as various emerging hybrids that elude traditional categorization. All submitted works must be completed after September 1, 2000, and entries must be postmarked no later than November 30, 2002.

Submission to AIM is free. Submit proposals and/or copies of projects (no originals please) in the form of a DVD, VCD, VHS (NTSC), Macintosh CD-ROM, or a URL, as appropriate. Other formats can be accommodated by prior arrangement with AIM. Entry form below, and located at http://www.usc.edu/aim

The following 6 projects are open for application and have a deadline of Friday, January 31, 2003:

• Green Valley Ranch Park East (New park); Estimated Art Budget:
  $140,000 The Green Valley Ranch development is one of Denver's newest
  suburbs. The new park will be 17.5 acres, located between 40th and 42nd
  Avenues west of Lisbon Street. The public art for this park will be
  sensitively designed to speak about recreation, natural space, the urban
  environment, and/or people relating to each other, while enhancing the
  park setting with a great work. Opportunities for location and
  interpretation are unlimited.  
  

• District 2 Police Station (New building); Estimated Art Budget:
  $100,000 Denver's District Two Police Station, currently located at 3555
  Colorado Blvd., will be relocated to a new facility at E. 38th Avenue and
  Holly Street. Building completion date is March 2004. The Project
  Evaluation Panel (PEP) seeks innovative and visionary artists, who can
  think "outside the box" to create a significant work of original art. Art
  opportunities include the Atrium interior, landscaped areas near main
  entrance area, and a plaza space in front of the main entrance.  
  Police Administration Building (New Plaza); Estimated Art Budget: $35,000
  

• The Police Administration building, at 1331 Cherokee St., sits in the
  heart of Denver's Civic government complex. It is Downtown's central
  police station. The main plaza has been renovated and presents a large
  space with opportunities for Public Art. Public art for this space should
  display an understanding of the delicate balance between law enforcement
  and public service, while speaking to the connection between the
  citizenry and its police force. A fountain design might also be a
  possibility.  
  

• Denver Skate Park (Addition to new facility); Estimated Art Budget:
  $22,000 The Denver Skate park, opened in July 2001, will offer 60,000
  square feet of skate-able surface. The park design was heavily influenced
  by input from the skater community. In consideration of this culture,
  advanced graffiti artists are encouraged to apply. Any artist that is
  hired for this project must be responsible, mature and able to work
  within the Public Art Process.  
  

• Washington Park (Improvements to existing park); Estimated Art
  Budget: $13,400 Pavement improvements to Washington Park have created a
  public art opportunity for this popular neighborhood. The art
  opportunities for this project are open to all medium and scope.  
  Broadway-Brighton Improvements (new Plaza): Estimated Art Budget:
  $160,000 Improvements to Broadway and Brighton have created an urban
  plaza environment at the intersection of Broadway and Blake streets in

Deadline: for next issue
New York artists and writers - graphics, photography, texts on "Urban culture in New York City"
ARTOARTE

Call for entries for zine publication ARTOARTE. This zine was born in Lima, Peru as an underground publication. It was a space for the discussion of art issues which were not dealt with in any other publication, and a space for artists which were too edgy or non-commercial for mainstream galleries. It began as a photocopy production and gradually became more graphic, until it reached its present art-object state.

The founder and editor of this publication is now based in New York and is looking to publish Issue # 8 with collaborations from New York based artists.

The idea is to keep developing the project into an art-object product, i.e. less text and more visual. The topic of the last issue was the artist's response to the political unrest in Peru, due to the corrupt dictatorial government the country was going through. The topic for the next issue will be `Urban culture in New York City' (this will not be the title of the issue, just the topic to work from), to be interpreted in any way you wish (Comic, drawing, photography, text, object, etc.). I am interested in the way New York based artists perceive and understand the city and its culture. Does NYC have urban tribes? How does multiculturalism affect you? Is there Hip-Hop visual art? What do you do when you're in a subway? What's the underground scene in NYC about? These are some of the questions that pop in my mind, you probably have your own.

The project includes a CD as part of this next issue. The band/s to be included are still to be discussed.

You can check ARTOARTE in the New Museum of Contemporary Art and Printed Matter in Manhattan and Clovis Press in Williamsburg, or you can send an e-mail to the address below requesting a copy. If you are interested in participating in this ipublication and have something to say on the topic, please contact this e-mail artoartezine@hotmail.com for more details.

Call for Submissions "From Puff to Buff" Exhibition being considered for 2003/4

Taking inspiration from such TV shows as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "The Powder Puff Girls", and "Xena the Warrior Princess", Curator is interested in reviewing work dealing with these contemporary female icons (and others) and their influence on new models of gender roles, revisited mythologies, and their impact on western culture. ALL media welcome. Please submit slides/CD-Rom, resume, artist statement, and SASE to

The subtleties of instrumental balance, timbre, effective part preparation, and communication with conductor and musicians are critical skills. But openings for composers to gain hands-on experience working with a professional orchestra are few. ACO's Whitaker New Music Reading Sessions are designed to give emerging composers the opportunity to work with an orchestra singular in its commitment to the development of the American composer and to hear their work performed by some of the country's most outstanding contemporary music instrumentalists."

The American Composers Orchestra (ACO) has announced its 12th annual Whitaker New Music Readings Sessions and Commission. Up to eight composers in the early stages of their careers will be selected to participate. One will be awarded a $15,000 commission to write a new work to be performed by ACO at Carnegie Hall. The Reading Sessions are led by Music Director Steven Sloane and Artistic Director Robert Beaser, and will be held on April 7 & 8, 2003 in New York City.

Only works which will not have been performed or read by a professional orchestra, nor received a public performance in the New York metropolitan area prior to the reading date are eligible. Works must be completed after January 1, 1998 and must be less than fifteen minutes in length. A portion or movement from a longer work may also be considered.

The application deadline is November 15, 2002. The submission form, guidelines, and additional information are available at http://www.americancomposers.org/

Clive Matson and I are editing a poetry anthology on 9/11 to be published just before the 1st anniv. by Regent Press in Oakland, CA. We would appreciate receiving submissions of poems on the event or subsequent reflections on it. Please email this to your list and announce at readings.

Poems should be emailed to sforacle@prodigy.net as attached .doc files and as .txt files in body of email.

There isn't an absolute limit on length but three or four pages would be long enough and published works would be acceptable.

We think that a record of poet's responses and reflections is important for the historical record. Though there was some good journalism about 9/11 the overwhelming propaganda has created a din of collective madness. It is important for the world to hear the voice of its poets.
