la AE, într-un dialog cine-vizual cu Agnès Varda, despre care scrie 
Raluca Oancea; artă contemporană ca în «Diferite grade de libertate», la 
Kunsthalle, despre care scrie Horațiu Lipot, sau ca în «Despre generarea 
formelor generative«, de care se ocupă Bogdan Ghiu; sau și mai multă 
artă contemporană românească, ca în «GAME ON», expoziție calată pe ideea 
de competiție, despre care scrie Ada Muntean; un text legat de 
regretatul Mircea Nicolae și lucrurile mărunte și prețioase despre care 
scrie atât de nostalgic Elvira Lupșa; performance-ul experimental al 
Irinei Gheorghe, parte din expoziția «Timpuri Noi«, despre care scrie 
Gavril Pop; și, nu în ultimul rând, «Sculptura după sculptură« de la 
Cazarma U, un festin al volumelor în spațiu, despre care scrie, cu multă 
admirație, Corina Șuteu."

the late Mircea Nicolae and the small and precious things, about which 
Elvira Lupșa writes so nostalgically; Irina Gheorghe's experimental 
performance, part of the 'New Times' exhibition, reviewed by Gavril Pop;

/On Anthropocene Infrapolitics/, edited by Pedro Aguilera-Mellado, Peter 
Baker & Gabriela Méndez Cota

Editorial Introduction

https://culturemachine.net/submissions/vol-22-cfp-anthropocene-infrapolitics/editorial/

Since Paul Crutzen suggested the term in 2000, ‘the Anthropocene’ has 
become established as a narrative frame for the convergence of numerous 
discourses and collections of data exploring the reach, as well as the 
limits, of human agency within inherently dynamic Earth processes 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/clark-2011-la-justicia-y-el-cambio-climatico-abrupto/>. 
This volume of Culture Machine arrives in the wake of a decade-long 
acceleration of Humanities discourse on the Anthropocene, the radical 
implications of which remain, in our view, unthought.

Already in 2016, Cohen, Colebrook and Hillis Miller thought of the 
Anthropocene as a twilight concept 
<http://openhumanitiespress.org/books/download/Cohen-Colebrook-Miller_2016_Twilight-of-the-Anthropocene-Idols.pdf>: 
‘a form of half-recognition that can only occur in the moment of 
waning’. They noted that even if the idea of the Anthropocene had fully 
exposed the fictions of Cartesian Man, its paradoxical effect had been 
to stir, almost immediately, a production of counter-narratives, most of 
which failed to question /narrative as such/. In other words, the boom 
of the post-human and the non-human, alongside so many /political/ 
challenges to the universalizing claims of the Anthropocene, most often 
provided a way of sustaining the human as a problem. By contrast, Cohen, 
Colebrook and Hillis Miller called on us to ask about the ways in which 
technical modes of inscription produced ‘the Anthropocene’ as a 
masculinist delusion of self-erasure and anthropo-political narrativizing.

Almost a decade later,the unrelenting chaos 
<https://desertreport.org/the-anthropocene/> associated with the 
Anthropocene still calls for intellectual responsibility 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/fernandez-planetary-nothing/>, 
but structural difficulty persists in (and beyond) university discourse. 
If the latter is characterized, in our time, by a political saturation 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/alvarez-yaguez-antropoceno-y-filosofia/>, 
the structural difficulty concerns finitude as such, the experience of 
which increasingly converges with technological acceleration 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/vilaros-la-piel-de-la-tierra/> 
and the threat of human extinction 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/cerrato-baker-futurology/>. 
The question insists 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/aguilera-interrogacion-infrapolitica/>: 
is the Anthropocene above all a political question, a question of 
narrative? Broadly conceived as the absolute difference between life and 
politics 
<https://academic.oup.com/fordham-scholarship-online/book/42617/chapter-abstract/357654941?redirectedFrom=fulltext>, 
between being and subjectivity, between writing and narrativizing, 
infrapolitics gives way to the task of thinking existence in the ‘epoch 
without epoch 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/moreiras-epoca-sin-epoca/>’ 
that is now framed as the Anthropocene.

More specifically conceived as a second turn of deconstruction, 
infrapolitical /reflection/ recuperates the Heideggerian problematic of 
the ontico-ontological difference at the time of the consummation of 
metaphysics, of the reduction of life –including culture and politics 
–to calculability, or the principle of general equivalence under the 
guise of late post-industrial capitalism. Reframed today as an archive 
of planetary devastation, the Heideggerian concept of /Gestell 
/continues to pose a question about the limits of storytelling 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/mendezcota-infrapoliticalepimetheia/> 
and the need for, as Weinstein and Colebrook (2017) put it, no less than 
a decision on the value of existence/. /As formulated by Alberto 
Moreiras, infrapolitics is always in every case a commitment to think 
that decision in terms of an exception to the principle of general 
equivalence.

/Anthropocene Infrapolitics/ gathers contributions that strive to think 
the exception, the incalculable, in the Anthropocene. Most of them are 
based on presentations given at the II International Seminar of 
Contemporary Thought which took place on 29-30 June 2023 in the 
Universidade de Vigo, in Galicia, Spain, and was organised by Alberto 
Moreiras (Texas A&M University), Helena Cortés Gabaudan (Universidade de 
Vigo), Jorge Álvarez Yagüez (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Carmela 
García González (IES Vigo), Arturo Leyte (Universidade de Vigo), 
Cristina Moreiras (University of Michigan), Teresa Vilarós (Texas A&M 
University) and Gareth Williams (University of Michigan). We want to 
express our sincere gratitude to all of them and to the participants of 
the Vigo meeting for having accepted our invitation to edit and 
disseminate their work in Culture Machine with a spirit of radical open 
access <http://radicaloa.disruptivemedia.org.uk/philosophy/>.

Even if the meeting was made possible and nurtured by the institutional 
frameworks of academic scholarship, /Anthropocene Infrapolitics/ does 
not seek, above all, to make ‘progress’ on ‘knowledge production’ by 
telling more stories about planetary catastrophe. More fundamentally it 
seeks to ask, once again, what /thinking/ means, with an openness 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/runnels-plant-thinking-infrapolitical-ethics/> 
to the proliferation of singular experiences and working against all 
attempts to construct a new hegemonic framework for academic work via 
scientific, economic or cultural knowledge about the human.

As such, infrapolitics is irreducible to technics, ethics or politics, 
and we may, at best, regard it as a call for an attunement to somewhere 
strange and unthematizable. Working at the limits of language, writing, 
and thought, one of the main questions for infrapolitical reflection is 
therefore over the form or style that the announcement of the 
infrapolitical should take, where writing is always understood as the 
writing of life itself, or perhaps more accurately, as /what sub-cedes 
and sub-sists of life beyond or below its metaphysical capture. /In this 
regard, we give special thanks to Luz María Bedoya for a very special 
contribution to /Anthropocene Infrapolitics, /namely, the artwork 
<https://culturemachine.net/vol-22-anthropocene-infrapolitics/bedoya-nula-o-el-lugar/> 
included in this issue.

/Anthropocene Infrapolitics/ seeks to make space, within the most 
rigorous scholarship in the theoretical Humanities, for untimely textual 
inscriptions, or writings that attempt to consciously bear the mark of 
their own historical or existential circumstances. We would like to 
acknowledge Sergio Villalobos-Ruminott, Jessica Bekerman, Tatjana Gajic, 
Cristina Moreiras, Benjamín Mayer-Foulkes, Janneke Adema, Fiona Noble, 
José Luis Villacañas Berlanga, Claire Colebrook, and Ángel Octavio 
Álvarez Solís, for carefully and enthusiastically taking part in the 
open peer review alongside the guest-editors and the contributors to 
this volume. The non-anonymity of peer reviewing was, in this case, a 
wager and a test for our infrapolitical desire to affirm that /another 
scholarly writing is possible/, and that open writing collaborations 
matter, beyond scientific standards or political convictions, for the 
task of thinking existence in the Anthropocene.

Selected exchanges from the open peer review process will be edited and 
published throughout Winter 2023-2024 in Culture Machine’s Interzone, 
<https://culturemachine.net/interzone/> as part of an extended 
conversation on /Anthropocene Infrapolitics/.

A visual marking of a territory or an event, messages left indicating 
“this is my hand”, “this is my name”, “this is how far I got” can be 
found throughout the millennia and in a variety of cultures. The 
contexts vary as well as the means for the inscriptions. They can be 
sharp slate pencils leaving tiny comments on wall paintings, aerosol 
sprays covering whole trains or typed messages in computer code. In most 
cases, graphein/graffiare happens manually, be it in direct contact with 
the substrate, at a close distance, or remote with a keyboard. Each time 
it is a situated practice, reacting to an existing cultural setting, 
often emphasizing the site specificity, imagining audiences. These 
communicative gestures are embedded in larger cultural settings from 
which they draw their strength, motivation, legitimacy, virtuosity or 
subversive power. And to which they contribute a further layer of 
signification. They may allow glances into long forgotten past 
practices. They may open the eyes and empower for alternative channels 
of messaging.

In this workshop we focus on what can be learnt from processes of 
markings for which we find arguments to label them ‘graffiti’. As the 
backdrops for such cultural practices are vastly diverse, we encourage 
the presenters not to take the term for granted, but to make explicit in 
their talk what theory and concept of graffiti they build on. This can 
help finding the right points of contact in the discussion even when 
phenomena diverge considerably.

Three research groups meet with special guests and discuss their 
perspectives on graffiti.

Graff-IT investigates the presence of graffiti in Italy, from the 
7th-16th century, and aims to develop a new interdisciplinary approach 
to the study of medieval and Renaissance graffiti as a historical 
source. The actions of writing under investigation have an 
extemporaneous and personal character. They are not commissioned but are 
acts beyond any control from the elites and authorities. As such, these 
written documents are exceptional and valuable complements to official 
writings. (Prof. Dr. Carlo Tedeschi, palaeontology, Università degli 
Studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti Pescara)

INDIGO aims at the basis to systematically document, disseminate and 
analyse almost 13 km of uninterrupted graffiti along Vienna’s Danube 
Canal in the next decade. Graffiti community engagement and regular 
photo visits allow INDIGO to build a spatially, spectrally, and 
temporally accurate record of most (il)legal sprayings, engravings, and 
other personal expressions on the Canal’s public urban surfaces. (Prof. 
Dr. Geert Verhoeven, archaeology, Universities of Ghent and Vienna and 
Prof. Dr. Norbert Pfeifer, geodesy and geoinformation, Technical 
University Vienna)

COSE deals with programmed internet art and seeks to reveal their inner 
workings, as well as their embeddedness in the various niches of the 
World Wide Web. A close inspection on artistic and activist practices 
that might be withdrawn from view due to different reasons is deemed 
necessary for providing analytical instruments and a general 
understanding of our media-technological condition. Here, graffiti 
practices may shed light onto loopholes in systems by exploiting them 
creatively.

> A visual marking of a territory or an event, messages left indicating “this is my hand”, “this is my name”, “this is how far I got” can be found throughout the millennia and in a variety of cultures. The contexts vary as well as the means for the inscriptions. They can be sharp slate pencils leaving tiny comments on wall paintings, aerosol sprays covering whole trains or typed messages in computer code. In most cases, graphein/graffiare happens manually, be it in direct contact with the substrate, at a close distance, or remote with a keyboard. Each time it is a situated practice, reacting to an existing cultural setting, often emphasizing the site specificity, imagining audiences. These communicative gestures are embedded in larger cultural settings from which they draw their strength, motivation, legitimacy, virtuosity or subversive power. And to which they contribute a further layer of signification. They may allow glances into long forgotten past practices. They may open the eyes and empower for alternative channels of messaging.

> In this workshop we focus on what can be learnt from processes of markings for which we find arguments to label them ‘graffiti’. As the backdrops for such cultural practices are vastly diverse, we encourage the presenters not to take the term for granted, but to make explicit in their talk what theory and concept of graffiti they build on. This can help finding the right points of contact in the discussion even when phenomena diverge considerably.

The actions of writing under investigation have an extemporaneous and personal character. They are not commissioned but are acts beyond any control from the elites and authorities. As such, these written documents are exceptional and valuable complements to official writings. (Prof. Dr. Carlo Tedeschi, palaeontology, Università degli Studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti Pescara)

Here, graffiti practices may shed light onto loopholes in systems by exploiting them creatively.

How do we abandon the current standard models of AI and tech services 
and advocate for inclusive technologies?

 From December 13 to December 15, the arts organisation VEKTOR Athens

the radio conference reflects a growing realization that the current 
tech landscape is rife with disparities and shortcomings that need to be 
addressed.

Jasia Reichardt is a writer on art and an exhibition organiser. She was Assistant Director of the ICA in London, 1963-71, and Director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery, 1974-76. She taught at the Architectural Association, as well as other colleges and has written several books. She is interested in art that encroaches on other fields: science, music, and literature, and has spent many years following up the connections between art and technology. Among her exhibitions staged in Britain, the best known is Cybernetic Serendipity (1968) about the computer and the arts - https://youtu.be/5mH9DysESqo. Later, she worked for ARTEC in Japan, and her other exhibitions involving technology included: Electronically Yours, 1998, Tokyo, and Nearly Human, 2015, Gdańsk. 
 
Bronaċ Ferran is a writer and curator; see https://cloudmemory.com <https://cloudmemory.com/>
 
The event will be recorded and uploaded to the CAS YouTube Channel.
 
This event is open to the public and is free but you should book your place for both in-person and Zoom.  We expect this event to be very popular so early booking is advised:

Subject: [spectre] 3 Short-Term Scholarships for PhD-Candidates in the field
 of digital media, digital methods, AI, sensory media,
 mobile media at Uni Siegen, Germany
Message-ID: <B6087464-E1B6-47A8-B34C-1E9C6C164782@gmail.com>

*Both for starting PhDs who want to develop their proposal but also for advanced PhDs who are interested in cooperating on digital media*

3 Short-Term Scholarships for PhD-Candidates

At the University of Siegen, as of 1st of February 2024 (starting date negotiable) the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1187 „Media of Cooperation“ offers three Short-Term Scholarships for PhD-Candidates to promote the work of early-carrier researchers. The duration of the scholarships is 9 to 12 months. A longer-term collaboration with the goal of a doctorate within the CRC is envisaged. The basic amount of the scholarship is based on the maximum rate of the DFG (1.365,- EUR). In addition, an allowance for material expenses and, if applicable, a child allowance will be paid.

University of Siegen
The University of Siegen is an interdisciplinary and cosmopolitan university with currently about 18,000 students and a range of subjects from the humanities, social sciences and economics to natural, engineering and life sciences. With over 2,000 employees, we are one of the largest employers in the region and offer a unique environment for teaching, research and further education.

CRC 1187 “Media of Cooperation“ https://www.mediacoop.uni-siegen.de/en <https://www.mediacoop.uni-siegen.de/en>
The CRC is an interdisciplinary research network consisting of 15 projects and more than 60 scientists from the fields of media studies, science and technology studies, ethnology, sociology, linguistics and literature studies, computer science as well as history, education and engineering. It has been funded by the DFG since 2016. The CRC investigates the emergence and dissemination of digitally networked, data-intensive media and understands these as cooperatively accomplished conditions for cooperation. The research of the participating subprojects focuses on data practices and sensory practices that are explored in the situated interplay of media practices, infrastructures and public spheres.
The short-term fellowship program of the CRC provides national and international doctoral students the opportunity to further develop their research project in the CRC, to get to know participating researchers and to exchange ideas with them. The research projects of the scholarship holders should be thematically related to the subprojects of the CRC, so that their work can be supported by the principal investigators and their teams. Scholarship holders are assigned to the Integrated Research Training Group (MGK) of the CRC and benefit from its structured training program. The CRC offers scholarship holders an international environment for interdisciplinary media research as well as an extensive program of events and training in ethnographic, digital, sensor-based and linguistic methods.
Further information on the CRC’s research agenda and subprojects can be found at https://www.mediacoop.uni-siegen.de/en.

II)
Individual research project in one of the above-mentioned disciplines within the subject area of the CRC. Ideally, you can assign the project to one of the subareas of the CRC – infrastructures, publics or praxeology

 Stipendien der Stiftung Niedersachsen für Medienkunst 2024 am Edith-Russ-Haus 
  
 BEWERBUNG: bis zum 29. Februar 2024 
  
 Ermöglicht durch die Stiftung Niedersachsen vergibt das Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst drei Stipendien zur Förderung einer künstlerischen Arbeit im Bereich der Medienkunst (je €12.500). 
  
 Das Stipendium der Stiftung Niedersachsen am Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst fördert ein breites Spektrum der Medienkunst, von Videokunst und netzbasierten Projekten bis hin zu Klang- oder audiovisuellen Installationen. Das Stipendium wird für die Produktion eines neuen Projekts im Bereich der Medienkunst vergeben. 
  
 Eine internationale Jury entscheidet über die Vergabe der Stipendien. 
  
 Vergaberichtlinien: 
  
 Voraussetzung für die Förderung ist die Benutzerregistrierung und Online-Bewerbung über diese Website bis zum 29. Februar 2024 (MEZ). Bewerbungen, die nach diesem Zeitpunkt eingereicht werden, können nicht berücksichtigt werden. 
 Das Stipendium gilt für die Dauer von 6 Monaten (Juli-Dezember 2024), es ist nicht verlängerbar und residenzpflichtig. Erwarteter Aufenthalt in Oldenburg: mindestens ein Monat. 
 Das Projekt bzw. die künstlerische Arbeit sollte innerhalb der 6-monatigen Stipendiumsdauer abgeschlossen werden (nach Absprache auch bis Ende Februar 2025). 
 Es werden nur Anträge von Personen angenommen, nicht von Institutionen. 
 Eine Bewerbung von Studierenden ist leider nicht möglich. 
 Nur ein Antrag pro Jahr/pro Person wird akzeptiert. 
 Projekte, die schon einmal vom Edith-Russ-Haus abgelehnt wurden, können nicht erneut eingereicht werden. Künstler:innen können sich jedoch mit neuen Projekten immer wieder bewerben. 
 Künstler:innen können sich als Gruppe bewerben. Das Fördergeld erhöht sich dadurch nicht und bleibt in gleicher Höhe wie für eine einzelne Person. Die Person, deren Name als Kontakt angegeben wird, wird als verantwortlich für das Projekt angesehen. 
 Auf Wunsch und nach Absprache steht den Stipendiat:innen ein ausgestattetes Gästeappartement zur Verfügung. Es ist nach Absprache möglich, Partner oder Kinder mitzubringen. Ebenso können Projektmitarbeitende (zum Beispiel Sounddesigner, Cutter) nach Absprache kostenlos im Edith-Russ-Haus untergebracht werden. 
 Die Stipendiat:innen sollen in die Aktivitäten des Medienkunsthauses eingebunden werden, zum Beispiel mit Workshops, Präsentationen oder Künstlergesprächen. Die Termine werden in gemeinsamer Absprache mit dem Edith-Russ-Haus festgelegt. 
 Über das Stipendiengeld von 12.500 € und die Möglichkeit der Nutzung eines der Gästeappartements im Edith-Russ-Haus werden keine weiteren Kosten (wie technische Mittel, Produktionsmittel, Reise- und Lebensunterhaltskosten während des Stipendiums, etc.) übernommen. 
 Die Auswahl der Stipendiat:innen nimmt eine international besetzte Fachjury vor. 
 Nur über das Online-Bewerbungsformular eingereichte Materialien werden berücksichtigt. Zusätzliche Einsendungen, etwa auf dem Postweg oder per E-Mail werden nicht berücksichtigt. Eine Rücksendung oder Abholung unverlangt eingesandter Materialien ist leider nicht möglich. 
 Der Antrag kann auf Englisch oder Deutsch gestellt werden (bei einem deutsch gestellten Antrag müssen die zentralen Informationen ins Englische übersetzt sein, da die Jury international besetzt wird). 
 Die ausgewählten Stipendiat:innen stimmen zu, dem Edith-Russ-Haus alle Rechte zur Nutzung von Bildern ihres Kunstwerks für Veröffentlichung, Archivierung und Websiteveröffentlichung sowie jede weitere Kommunikationsform im Rahmen der Stipendiumsdarstellung ohne Bezahlung einzuräumen. 
 Ein Antrag gilt als angenommen, wenn eine Bestätigung per E-Mail erfolgt. Wenn der Antrag nicht mit den vorgegebenen Bedingungen übereinstimmt, wird keine Bestätigung versandt. Das Edith-Russ-Haus und die Auswahljury haben das Recht, Anträge auszuschließen, die nicht den Bedingungen entsprechen. 
  
 Das Edith-Russ-Haus behandelt die eingereichten Informationen mit größter Sorgfalt. Alle zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen werden nur für Zwecke der Antragsbearbeitung und Prüfung verwendet. Die Bewerbenden stimmen zu, dass das Edith-Russ-Haus über die zur Verfügung gestellte E-Mail-Adresse Kontakt aufnehmen kann. Nach Abschluss des Auswahlverfahrens wird die Entscheidung der Jury online bekannt gegeben. Die ausgewählten Stipendiat:innen werden unter der im Antrag angegebenen E-Mail-Adresse benachrichtigt. Dies wird spätestens bis Mitte Juni 2024 erfolgen. Eine Benachrichtigung nicht ausgewählter Bewerbenden findet nicht statt. Von Anfragen wie zum Beispiel zum Stand der Einreichung, Vollständigkeit der eingereichten Materialien und Auswahlprozess bitten wir abzusehen. Leider haben wir nicht die Kapazitäten, um solche Anfragen individuell zu bearbeiten.

 Dear friends of the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, 
  
 we would like to draw your attention to the start of the application period for: 
  
 Grants for Media Art 2024 of the Stiftung Niedersachsen at the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art 
  
 Application deadline: 29 February 2024 
  
 The Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art will award three Grants for Media Art of the Stiftung Niedersachsen (€12,500 each). 
  
 The Stiftung Niedersachsen grant at the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art supports a wide spectrum of media art, from video art and net-based projects to audio works and audiovisual installations.
Each of the three grants will be awarded for the production of a new project in the area of media art. 
  
 An international jury will convene to select the grant recipients. 
  
 Applicants must register for a user account on this website and submit via online application by 29 February, 2024, 23:59 (CET). Applications submitted after this date cannot be taken into consideration. 
  
 The grant is valid for a duration of six months (July–December 2024). It cannot be prolonged and residency is compulsory; grant recipients can expect to stay in Oldenburg at least one month. 
  
 The project or artistic work should be completed within the six-month duration of the grant. However, an extension until the end of February 2025 can be negotiated. 
 Only artists may submit an application; institutions are ineligible. 
 Unfortunately, it is not possible for students to apply. 
 Only one application per person per year is permitted. 
 Projects rejected by the Edith-Russ-Haus in previous years cannot be resubmitted. However, artists can always reapply with new projects. 
 Both individual artists and artist groups can apply; however, the grant amount is the same for groups as for individuals. For artist groups, the applicant whose name is provided as a contact will be considered responsible for the project. 
 On request and by arrangement, a furnished guest apartment is available to grant recipients. It is possible to bring a partner or children, and project collaborators (e.g., sound designers, editors) can also be accommodated by the Edith-Russ-Haus free of charge. 
 Grant recipients are expected to be involved in the activities of the Edith-Russ-Haus, including, for example, running workshops and giving presentations and artist talks. The dates of such activities will be arranged in consultation with the Edith-Russ-Haus. 
 Beyond the grant amount of €12,500 and the possibility of using one of the guest apartments of the Edith-Russ-Haus, no further costs will be covered during the residency (such as technical means, production means, travel expenses, and living expenses incurred during the grant period). 
 A jury consisting of international experts will select the recipients of the grants. 
 Only applications submitted through the online application system will be reviewed. Applications sent via post or email, as well as any extra materials received by post or email, will be disregarded and disposed of. 
 The application may be submitted in either English or German. For German applications, please also include an English translation of the summary of the application, as the jury will consist of international participants. 
 The grant recipients agree to allow the Edith-Russ-Haus to use images of their artworks for publication, archiving, website, and communication and marketing purposes without payment, as long as this use is directly related to the grant program. 
 An application is considered accepted when the applicant receives confirmation via email. If the application does not adhere to the prescribed requirements, the applicant will not receive an email confirmation. 
 The Edith-Russ-Haus and the jury have the unilateral right to exclude applications that do not conform to the above-listed requirements. 
  
 The Edith-Russ-Haus will handle all submitted information with great care. The information and documentation applicants submit will be used only for the purposes of processing their application. Applicants agree to be contacted by the Edith-Russ-Haus via the email address provided in their application. The jury’s decision will be announced online following the selection process. This is expected to take place in mid-June 2024 at latest. Awardees will be notified via email to the addresses provided in their application. No notifications will be sent to applicants who have not been selected. We ask applicants to refrain from any inquiries concerning the completeness of applications or updates on the evaluation process after the deadline. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to answer these questions. 
  
 Information on filling out your application: 
  
 Your project outline should include the following information: 
  
 Comprehensive description of the project (depending on the project, this may include, for example, an installation plan, storyboard, navigation plan, etc.)

 For projects that require additional funding, a financing plan must be submitted, showing: the grant monies, any self-contributions, third-party funds (to be applied for/applied for/secured).

Subject: [spectre] Click Tracker - Version 2.6 is out!
Message-ID: <1556bec5-d5e4-4a9b-ab45-133a67334e0f@posteo.de>

Dear Spectre,

Version 2.6 of the Click Tracker is out.

The main new features are in tempo changes: there is now a new parameter 
for tc curve control, which can be easily changed in the GUI in the 
score structure display. See information in 
http://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/#display


And also:
- cue files can be declared as normal filenames (not necessary to number 
them)
- tc and rep durations accept x:y expressions
- small improvements of score display and export
- open dialog shows text files by default (in Max-based versions)

As in the previous version, you can use in any of the following ways:
- as an android app (https://bit.ly/click-tracker-mob or 
https://bit.ly/clicktracker-playstore)
- as a closed desktop app in windows (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5Win) 
or apple (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5Apple)

Due to Apple's recent security settings, you'll need to allow the Pd and 
other externals to run on your system.
WARNING: M1 users will need to run the program with Rosetta.

- as the traditional Pure Data patch (https://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5)
- as a Max/MSP patch in windows (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5MaxWin) or 
apple (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5MaxApple)

For more information, refer to the Click Tracker's website at 
http://j.mp/click-tracker.

You can also visit the Click Tracker on facebook - 
http://j.mp/clicktrackerfb, or check out the click track library in 
http://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/index-library.

With best regards,

João Pais
