Dear SAW Members: Can You Help?

Last month Douglas and I did video training with Innu youth in Sheshatshui and Natuashish, Labrador. Failed by their school system, and plagued by substance abuse and one of the highest suicide rates in the world, Innu youth see little hope in their future.

The response to the training was overwhelmingly positive and we plan to go again in September. But what is desperately needed in both communities is production equipment that can stay behind for the youth to use. We are looking for donations of any good used equipment: audio gear, DV cameras, lighting equipment and computers for editing.If you can help in any way please let us know. Call Franziska at (613) 259-2847 or email pinegrove@superaje.com.

Goals; runs; touchdowns; strokes; points; rank; wins; losses; world records; time trials; points against; plus/minus; fumbles; strikeouts; shut outs; power play goal percentage; total personal fouls; fourth down conversions; intentional walks.

This short list shines only a small light on the statistical landscape of sport. The generation of this detailed documentation of competitive sports produces a vast and massive movement of numerical information back and forth through newspapers, magazine, websites, speciality channels and newscasts. Like an athletic stock market, talent is commodified, codified and reduced to columns of percentage points. With this call for new electronic artworks Artengine hopes to bring a poetic perspective to this statistical landscape.

In Winter of 2008 Artengine will present Superfan, to be exhibited in public locations in Ottawa's Elgin Street area, a popular night-life
district with many sports bars. The theme of the commissioned work is to be centered around the statistical information generated from professional and amateur sport.

Proposals from all disciplines will be considered however, some preference will be given to art works with greater engagements with the
technological aspects of their production and presentation.

Artists are encouraged to keep in mind that the commissioned works may be presented in the context of a sports bar or similar public location, and so fragile or expensive interactive projects may be difficult to secure.

Commissioned Artists will receive:

1.$1000.00 commissioning fee for the creation and presentation of the work.
2.$200.00 towards production materials.
3.Producing membership for one year. This membership gives access to
Artengine facilities and equipment. (For those artists from outside the
Outouais region a On-line Membership will be awarded.) Please check
www.artengine.ca/html/newmember-e.php for more information on Artengine
memberships.

Proposals should include:

1. Project Proposal (2 pages max.)
2. Artist Statement (1 page max.)
3. Current CV (3 pages max.)
4. Supporting Materials (digital images; websites; video documentation
etc. Please do not send 35 mm Slides.)
5. Self-adressed envelop with sufficient postage.
For further information and questions please contact Ryan Stec, Artistic
Director at artistic@artengine.ca.

SUPERFAN
Février/mars 2008
Appel de projets
Date limite : le 21 septembre 2007

But ; course ; touché ; coup ; point ; rang ; victoire ; défaite ; record mondial ; contre-la-montre ; point contre ; plus/moins ; échappée; retrait sur prises ; blanchissage ; pourcentage de buts marqués en avantage numérique ; total de fautes personnelles ; conversion de quatrième touchés ; but sur balles intentionnel.

Cette liste éclaire qu’une infime partie du paysage statistique des sports. La documentation détaillée, voire obsessive des sports
compétitifs génère une masse imposante de données quantitatives. Telle la Bourse, les résultats sont compilés dans les journaux, les magazines, les sites Web, les canaux spécialisés et les téléjournaux. Alors que les athlètes sont codifiés et transformés en commodités, la performance risque-t-elle d’être réduite à des tables de points de pourcentage. Grâce à cet appel de nouveaux projets électroniques, Artengine espère insuffler une nouvelle signification au paysage statistique des sports..

L’exposition Superfan d’Artengine sera présentée dans différents lieux publics sur la rue Elgin à Ottawa, un quartier populaire de vie nocturne qui abrite plusieurs bars d’ambiance sportive. Les œuvres commandées aborderont le thème de l’information statistique produite par le sport professionnel et amateur.

Artengine accordera une préférence aux projets qui feront preuve d’un engagement important envers les aspects technologiques de la production et de la présentation.

Les commandes seront présentées dans un bar d’ambiance sportive ou un lieu public semblable. L’artiste doit ainsi tenir compte que les
équipements fragiles ou dispendieux pourraient être difficiles à protéger.

Les artistes recevront :

1.un cachet de 1 000 $ pour la création et la présentation de la commande ;
2.une contribution de 200 $ à l’achat de matériaux de production ;
3.une adhésion de production pour un an, ce qui donne accès aux
équipements d’Artengine. (Pour les artistes à l’extérieur de la région
de l’Outaouais, Artengine leur accordera une adhésion en ligne.)
Veuillez consulter www.artengine.ca/html/newmember-e.php pour des
informations complètes sur l’adhésion et les différents statuts de membre.

Les propositions devraient inclure :

1. une proposition de projet (2 pages max.) ;
2. un énoncé artistique (1 page max.) ;
3. un curriculum vitæ à jour (3 pages max.) ;
4. des documents à l’appui (images numériques, sites Web, documents
vidéo, etc. – s’il vous plaît, n’envoyez pas de diapositives 35 mm) ;
5. une enveloppe pré affranchie.
