Special Issue: A Decade of Media Practice: Changes, Challenges and Choices
The Journal of Media Practice is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2009!
To mark this anniversary, the Journal is looking for contributions from colleagues involved in media practice around the world, whether as teachers or practitioners.
The current decade is witnessing vast changes in the production, consumption and forms of media. With digital technology, video art, documentary, film and other visual media are all going through interesting changes at the institutional, artistic and audience levels.
Web 2.0 is blurring the lines between the production and consumption of media, and is opening up new spaces of expression in societies where state censorship hinders freedom of speech in traditional media. It is also instigating changes in web design. Satellite television is consolidating itself as the primary medium in places like the Middle East. Digital radio is opening up new possibilities for broadcasting. More synergies are being created between different media forms, whether between the internet and television, the internet and documentary, or any number of other possibilities.
The Journal invites international contributions responding to the changes and challenges in the media practice landscape over the last decade, be it television, radio, video art, documentary, film, screenwriting, the internet, the press, or any other form of print, audio, visual or audiovisual media, and the choices that those changes and challenges have created for media practitioners, institutions and audiences.
In addition to academic articles, the Journal encourages the submission of:
- Interviews with key media personnel and artists
- Reflections by media practitioners on their own practice (whether within institutions or as independent practitioners)
- Reviews of exhibitions and other media events
- Critical pieces about changes in technology, content and delivery of media products and tools, or the work of media institutions around the world
Articles should be 5000 words, reviews 500-1000 words, and critical pieces and reflections between 1000-3000 words. The Editor is happy to discuss other possibilities with potential contributors prior to the deadline below.
All submissions are subject to peer review. Please send all completed submissions to jmp@rhul.ac.uk.
The deadline to receive all completed material (full articles, reviews etc.) is October 17, 2008.
Informal queries, speculative abstracts and proposals can be sent to the Editor Lina Khatib: lina.khatib@rhul.ac.uk in advance of the October deadline.

The "Official" Art's Bday Press Release ;-)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winnipeg, MB (January 2, 2008) – At Video Pool, we love art, and we love parties. It is in this spirit that we are thrilled to continue our tradition of bringing international Art's Birthday celebrations to Winnipeg!
In 1963, French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou declared that on January 17, one million years ago, art was born when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. A deliberate yet playful act left open to chance… who knew art would evolve to become something so culturally significant?
To recognize the worldwide appreciation of art, Video Pool is pleased to host an evening of performances, contests, interactive fun, and other goodies. We’ll begin the night with a VJ-style new media performance by Ryan Stec (Winnipeg/Ottawa). This will be followed by an experimental electronic music set by internationally renowned Venetian Snares (Budapest/Winnipeg). Local favourite, Mama Cutsworth, will take over the stage next, and she’ll keep the party going by spinning funky vinyl into the wee hours.
Art’s Birthday is also a chance to get involved!
Thursday, January 17, 2008
Club Desire - 441 Main St., Winnipeg
Admission is $15 or $5 for those arriving in costume

2008 / 2009 Call for Submissions
Video Pool Media Arts Centre
2008 / 2009 Call for Submissions
Theme: Resistance
Deadline: Friday, March 21, 2008
Resistance is a movement, a position, an attitude, and a measure. It is an individual or collective response. It can be political, or it can relate to physical properties of the known universe. It concerns citizens. It concerns artists. It concerns that which is local as well as that which is global. It is about forces, agency, strategy, play, and subversion. It is an argument. It seeks change, or it fights to stay the same. It mobilizes. It is unconscious. It is a side effect. It is intentional and affirmative.
Video Pool invites submissions pertaining to the theme Resistance for the 2008/09 programming season. We encourage projects involving:
• New media
• Experimental electronics
• Installation (with media components)
• Audio art
• Curatorial packages (with media components)
Video Pool is particularly interested in projects that intervene in public space or otherwise make use of non-traditional exhibition settings.
Video Pool’s 2008/09 programming season will include two programs specifically focused on new media performance and single channel film and video that resist conventional thinking and/or assumptions about what constitute video and new media art practices, and possibly the environs within which they take are expected to place.
Submission Requirements:
Please note that due to funding requirements, primary consideration will be given to Canadian citizens.
All Submissions Must Include:
Video Pool is committed to reflecting cultural diversity in it’s programming and thereby encourages applications from artists and curators from all communities.
Video Pool encourages the submissions of projects that are already complete or near completion.
Fees are paid in accordance with the CARFAC rate scale.

Welcome to our new blog!
As always, Video Pool is up to a number of very fantastic things! We want you to have easy access to all the information you could possibly want, so we’ve decided to start this blog.
Beginning later today, you'll find news about upcoming exhibitions, events, talks, performances, opportunities, and even social occasions, since getting together, sharing ideas, and celebrating contemporary media art is an important part of what we do. On that note, we will soon begin posting images and other documentation relating to our programming, so even if you’re not in Winnipeg, you’ll still be able to access the excitement. Of course, developing an ongoing archive of activities is always a great idea, as well.
So come back soon, and be sure to visit often! We’ll be burning this feed as soon as possible, but another way to keep in the loop conveniently is to subscribe to this blog through an interface such as Google Reader. Just add http://videpool.blogspot.com and our news will come to you.
And don’t forget: this blog is intended to be completely interactive, so if you have something you want to say to us, and everyone else, please feel free to comment. We’ve set up this blog so you don’t need to be registered with Blogger -- just select anonymous, fill your comment into the field provided, and you’re done!
Coming up next, details about our next exhibition, Rockstars & Wannabes!
