THE GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARDS 2010
•Application Deadline

01.11.2009

"This new edition of GOOD DESIGN aims to bring a parallel public
appreciation and awareness for an equally revolutionary design approach—a new
design thinking led by a current generation of visionary architects, designers, urban planners, corporations, governments, individuals, and private and public institutions for a design and a public environment based upon the ideals of energy conservation; the reduction of toxic waste and greenhouse gases; the diminishing dependence on fossil fuels; and a sensitivity for waste, pollution, and the depletion of the world’s energy resources. This new design approach centers on the idea of repairing our worldwide environments with sustainability and for total ecological restoration."

Journey Into the Known, Dr Kahn-Harris
•Application Deadline

06.11.2009

In this presentation and workshop, Keith Kahn-Harris, author of ‘Extreme
Metal: Music and Culture on the Edge’ asks: ‘How do we mourn the death
of the unknown?’

In the first half Dr Kahn-Harris will put on a multimedia presentation
arguing that the history of metal scenes since 1989 are a symptom of a
wider process of the ‘unknown becoming known’ whose apotheosis was the
revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989.

In the second half of the workshop, participants will be asked to try
and capture and mourn their first exposure to a subculture, scene or
previously secret world. Using art, writing or other creative mediums
participants will produce a collective ‘scrapbook’ of poignant and
nostalgic moments in the death of the unknown.

The event will take place in English. There is a limited number of
places available for this event, so please register at
info [@] arttransponder.net until November 6th.

Found Footage!
•Application Deadline

15.11.2009

Found Footage!
Christmas 2009 feature on VideoChannel

According to [Wikipedia] -->
"Found footage is a filmmaking term which describes a method of compiling films partly or entirely of footage which has not been created by the filmmaker, and changing its meaning by placing it in a new context. The term refers to the "found object" (objet trouvé) of art history."

VideoChannel is looking for some excellent films and videos using "found footage" as a relevant component of the film/video making which are planned to form also the basis for FFF (Found Footage Film) collection. For the online feature in December and later physical screenings, however, is most relevant, that no authors rights are violated by the creator using "found footage".
