STRP art & technology festival : CALL FOR PROJECTS - Deadline 1 JULY
The first edition of the STRP festival will take place in Eindhoven (Netherlands) between the 18th and 20th of November 2005. Its focus is on the commonalities between art, popular culture and technology. As part of the festival there will be performances, exhibits and presentations in a historical space. STRP will take place on the 'holy' ground of the forbidden city of Philips, where in the 20th century numerous technological innovations were made. A place where Einstein worked at one point and where one of the most ambitious amalgamations of the arts and technology took place: "Poeme Electronique," a collaboration between the architect Le Corbusier with architect/composer Iannis Xenakis, artist Jean Petit, composer Edgard Varese and filmmaker Phillipe Agostini. Coincidence or not, Dick Raaijmakers also was closely involved in this project. STRP gets its inspiration from this amalgamation of technology and art.
PROJECT CALL
STRP is looking for projects/installations/proposals that fit under
one of the following themes:
1) Press "Start" : gaming, interactive installations and playful art works, in which the public can take an active role in the experience and realization of the work.

FROM TEMPORAL MONTAGE TO SPATIAL MONTAGE
THE LOOP AS NARRATIVE FORM
E:vent is delighted to present a weekend of art, music, film, video and VJing. SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP presents internationally renowned artists Chris Allen (The Light Surgeons), DJRabbi (Mark America, Chad Mossholder, Rick Silva, and Jutta Wolfert), Klaus Janek, and Alexander Perterhaensel (aka tilia), with screenings of films by DJRabbi and Samuel Beckett.
A subtext of SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP looks at how narrative techniques such as montage and loop are creating a web of influence, connections and exchanges between media art, music, film and video. Criticizing the simple history of influence from novel to film, Sergei Eisenstein, Film Form (1977), considered the nineteenth-century novel a precursor for the cinematic imagination. A generation later Lev Manovich, The Language of New Media (2000), proposes that the loop be a new narrative form appropriate for the computer age.
E:vent is delighted to welcome Maxa Zoller who will expand on these themes at a special drinks reception on the opening night.
