>>> =====================================
>>>
>>> The RIXC Centre for New Media Culture seeks manuscripts for its
>>> upcoming Acoustic Space journal, to be published for the 7th
>>> international Art+Communication festival in Riga Latvia, September
>>> 30th- October 3rd. Now in its 5th edition, the print journal, Acoustic

>>> Trans-Culture Mapping, will focus, in the context of European

>>>
>>> The publication seeks to offer a space of exchange for grassroots
>>> activists and new media practitioners who are critically exploring
>>> ideas of locality, in response to the continental European (and global)
>>> process of "normalization".
>>>
>>> =====================================
>>>
>>> Sub-themes
>>>
>>> Locative Media
>>> Governments and corporations worldwide are constructing a geo-rectified
>>> real-time digital-double of earth-systems, which, with the advent of
>>> the mobile Internet and the ever increasing ubiquity of
>>> location-sensing technologies, allow for urban space to become
>>> conceived of as a site for digital media and, potentially, emergent
>>> social organization. Yet, beneath the manifold promise of collaborative
>>> cartography, is the harsh reality of 'total information awareness'. Can
>>> locative media escape its own axiomatic system?
>>>
>>> Spectrum Ecology
>>> Advances in wireless internet technology are changing not only how
>>> people connect to the internet but also how they approach the wireless
>>> spectrum itself. This section seeks to map how ideas of use and
>>> ownership are being analyzed and reconsidered in this environment.
>>>
>>> Tactical Cartography
>>> Social softwares have become a means of mobilizing people without
>>> having to go to the "Media" to convey a message. Problems, however,
>>> persist in making the leap into more mainstream circuits of power. How
>>> can maps be used both to help legitimize certain "fringe"
>>> Internet-debates and throw light on the nature of multinational
>>> capitalism?
>>>
>>> Endocolonization
>>> In the context of a "War on Terror", global borders are being mapped
>>> _within_, in a battle for "hearts and minds". While we may celebrate
>>> aspects of European integration, smaller States must also be cautious
>>> of the wholesale adoption of various monoculturing techniques that
>>> threaten their local diversities. How does "the local" assert itself
>>> while at the same time avoiding becoming reactionary and
>>> fundamentalist.
>>>
>>> =====================================
>>>
>>> We encourage you to submit finished documents of various lengths an
>>> forms, so long as they related to one of the sub-themes and display an
>>> internal consistence.
>>>
>>> Proposals and inquiries regarding submissions should be made to Marc
>>> Tuters <mt@xxxxxxx> and Rasa Smita <rasa@xxxxxxxxx>
>>>
>>> While we ask for documents in English we actively encourage submissions
>>> from non-Anglophones, especially Eastern Europeans.
>>>
>>> Please submit documents as RTF's and any images separately in a high
>>> resolution format.

>>> Deadline for final submissions: August 1st
