Call for Submissions
Deadline: 20th August
The Theme
We are living in a reality where our physical
environment has been pervaded
by invisible streams of data, enabling our local
geography to connect with
remote spaces. This multitude of physical and virtual
layers of existence
challenges our sense of place and presence. A space is
more than one space;
the virtual has inextricably entered the realm of the
real.
?First Play Berlin? is exploring the makeup of this
?mixed reality?, asking
how it has changed the way we perceive space and how
we negotiate our
cities.
The bigger Context
This one-night Trampoline platform event forms part of
the curated programme
First Play Berlin taking place from 28th September to
21st October 2006.
First Play Berlin brings new international artworks
and performances to
Berlin that explore the city through intervention,
participation and
mapping. International artists Blast Theory, Active
Ingredient, Daniel
Belasco Rogers, Michelle Teran, Simon Heijdens and
Frank Abbott are being
featured each with their interpretation of mixed
reality, overlaying the
static, physical infrastructure of the city with
desperate narratives,
auto-generated game worlds, ghost buildings and
displaced landscapes.
All works can be described as live media art, a new
arts practice in which
the two fields of performance and new media are
entering a dialogue. With
this, traditional concepts of performance,
installation or gaming are
overcome offering the audience a participatory
experience, blurring the
distinction between 'performer' and 'audience'.
Engagement with the public will take place on several
levels, from direct
communication with performers to accessing a
performance through one's
mobile phone. Some of the art works will take the form
of a citywide game,
some of them will be performance-walks through the
city, some will simply be
projected onto walls, becoming part of the visual
architecture of the city.
What they will share is an artists' reworking of the
city connecting with
the experiences of the people that live there.
What we are looking for
Trampoline welcomes artists working with digital
video, multimedia
performance, streaming, experimental sound,
interactive journeys and
installation to submit a piece of work that reflects
on the notion of
multiple space and connected city to exhibit or

of work or any ideas
