# OPEN CALL: CAMP FOR OPPOSITIONAL ARCHITECTURE 

http://www.anarchitektur.com
>From June 25th till 27th 2004, the political
architectural journal An Architektur organizes the
"Camp for Oppositional Architecture" in Berlin. This
international, open congress is searching for
possibilities of resistance within the field of
architecture and planning. An Architektur invites
theorists, offices, initiatives and other groups
active within these fields to present and develop
their positions together. How could politically
relevant work on the basis of planning and
architecture or with the means of their critique look
like today? How to criticize the demands of a
capitalist production of space? How to take 
a non-affirmative part within this powerful
contiguity? To participate in the internal part please
send a paper* explaining your own work and it’s
objectives as well as your interest in the Camp. The
Camp is free of charge. All participants will have
free board and the possibility of accommodations
in the Camp Space.


# CHAMP LIBRE: EAUX ARTES ÉLECTRONIQUES 

http://www.champlibre.com/eaux/
Inspired by UNESCO's International Year of Freshwater
2003, EAUX ARTES ÉLECTRONIQUES ! is a five-day event
that flows from May 19-23 and explores the
relationship between water and architecture in a city
that is itself island-based. Through a series of slide
shows broadcast in situ, the walls will ripple with
the works of four Montreal photographic artists --
Thomas Béhuret, Natalie Gadoua, Brigitte Henri and
John Londoño -- and for one night multimedia artist
Yan Breuleux will transform the station into a 
blue room. 


# RE-LOCATION ON TOUR 

http://www.re-location.org
Taking into account our changing view of Europe in
geographical, political, social and cultural terms,
the Re:Location 1-7 / Shake project took the form of a
work in progress, intended to last three years seeking
to experiment novel ways of working together among
partners operating in very different circumstances.
The challenge involved bringing art centres from eight
countries to work together on 
a joint project, not by imposing any single
standpoint, but rather enriching these different
artistic circumstances by confronting them 
with each other's specific situations. 


# OPEN CALL: IMPAKT 2004 : TRANSLATION 

http://www.impakt.nl/
The Impakt foundation invites to artists to send
proposals for their online art project Impakt Online.

use the Internet as medium as a starting point 
for their work (net. art). Please send in your

LIVERPOOL 

# FACT: MEETING OF SITUATIONIST SIM CITY

28/05 2.30 PM, FACT, 88 Wood St., Liverpool, UK
Booking & information: thorn at fact.co.uk
With : JULIAN DIBBELL (Wired), NATALIE BOOKCHIN
(agoraXchange), ED HALTER (Village Voice), JELENA
KLASNJA, KRISTIAN LUKIC The similarities between the
'physical' and the 'virtual' in online 
Gaming worlds have inspired the imaginations of
artists, writers, and the Hollywood hive mind. Yet
these parallels are by no means accidental the 
creators of these gaming worlds made conscious, often
scholarly efforts to design systems that effectively
emulate real-world society. At the same time, the most
complex games allow users the free will to shape their
online societies in their own image. The complexities
of our society, politics, and
economy have been mapped onto virtual worlds by both
creators and participants. Any questions we ask of
these worlds, we ask of our own.
