Art keywords project >> initial version launched!!!!
Ongoing collaborative project by no-org.net
http://no-org.net/texts.php
 
Art keywords project is a growing, collaborative encyclopedic
dictionary that approaches central concepts, keywords, terms, and
definitions
related to the 21st century art.

The project attempts to create a place for the data and definition
exchange where the combination of theoretical, mediative and artistic
(poetic)
definitions comes from the need to establish different approaches to
art definition.

We ask for artists, curators, critics and cultural mediators to send us
terms and concepts relevant to their own approach to art, defined
textually (definitions, articles, references, etc.) or through a media
item (image, video, sound etc.)

Call for submissions >> new project >> netopticon report
http://no-org.net/opticon/submission.php

Together with superficial anonymity and seemingly apparent ways of
hiding or faking one's identity, the Internet delivers a new set of
powerful
and sophisticated instruments of surveillance. Network activity of an
individual user, intercepted on the borders of ostensibly integral web
realm, is
easily back-traced by power holders - via IP address to ID number - and
provides the agent for latent supervision of controlling eye-ear.

Scouting and tight inspection of personal information, at times readily
exposed, serves economical and political interests of the system, helps
creating the new ways of control and improves the old ones. Established
around network security commercial structures continuously populate
virtual file-cabinets, simultaneously supporting the channels of
supervised
data distribution.

Netopticon - the current project of no-org.net - is an attempt to
create an artistic and textual report on the topic of infringement of
privacy
and its protection. We are looking forward to net art works and texts
dealing with resistance to manipulatively mediated concept of security,
to art
projects devoted to true anonymity of net-surfing and
net-correspondence, to works intentionally feeding systems with
falsified data, to any
remarks, suggestions and ideas that would add up to a contemporary
report on the
topic.

Although it is not exclusive condition, projects that work on the three
major platforms (Linux, Macintosh and Windows) are preferred.

The deadline for submissions is March, 30, 2005
