The Upgrade! Lisbon intends to be a monthly gathering of new media artists and
curators that fosters dialogue and creates opportunities for collaboration within
the new media art community. At each meeting one artist/curator present work in
progress, past work or a concept and participate in a discussion with those
attending the presentation. We would be delighted if you could come – whether you
are an artist, a techie or simply someone who is interested in new media art!
The Upgrade! (http://theupgrade.net

started by Yael Kanarek in 1999 and is currently hosted by Eyebeam, New York City.

Here’s a list of new work you may like to peruse. I’ve read that net.art and media art are now in a period of stagnation, so I’m doing my best to keep moving — most recently to Turkey, where I’m now living and working.

Dear friends
The “Ãrea de las Artes†of the City Council of Madrid has launched a call for contemporary creation. The guidelines are available on www.intermediae.es
This call is the result of the series of encounters Independent Art Practice in Madrid, developed in the framework of the programme Thursdays at MediaLabMadrid, from April through June 2005. These encounters were made up of representatives from the “Ãrea de las Artes†and artistic associations and collectives of the city, who gathered for a public debate.
We hope it might be of your interest and we encourage you to participate.
We wish you all the best in the New Year.
La base de datos de LIMbØ es un directorio de artistas y teóricos (en una primera etapa apuntando a creadores de habla hispana) que hacen uso de Internet (desde variadas disciplinas como son las artes visuales, música, literatura, etc) tanto para la generación de obra como para su documentación.
La misma está abierta para que incluya sus datos todo aquel que sienta afinidad con esta propuesta. Esto es posible mediante el formulario que se encuentra en la sección “datos personales”.
La base incorpora también datos sobre obras, proyectos o iniciativas en Internet. Sobre las páginas propuestas, LIMbØ hará una selección de ellas para su inlcusión en la base. Para sugerir un sitio se deberá ingresar a la sección “proponer obra” y seguir las indicaciones que figuran en dicha página. Para ello deberás estar previamente registrado, es decir, haber llenado la información del formulario de la página “datos personales”.
Lanzamos en mayo de 2005 la versión beta, por lo que la Base se irá completando a partir de ahora con información que iremos evaluando periodicamente.
