The festival intends to take place on every leap second<br>in the years to come. The first festival took place in 2012 and is<br>documented at <a href="http://noemata.net/leapsec/" target="_blank">http://noemata.net/leapsec/</a>.<br><br>This second festival marks the 26. leap second and will be arranged<br>the 30th of June 2015 23:59:60 (UTC), lasting one second. During this<br>second all the works are exhibited, performed, and executed. The event<br>is documented afterwards.<br><br>The festival focus is on the leap second as<br>i) deviation and glitch, a bug in the machination of time,<br>ii) a reality-check and celebration (glitz) of natural cycles taking<br>place at the moment when the ideal time we have on our clocks is<br>synchronized with the real time based on the rotation of the earth;<br>iii) precarity, an unpredictable and insecure condition, affecting<br>material/physical and social/psychological welfare - from how this<br>inserted second wreaks havoc in computers worldwide, to how a technology<br>(of time and production) aggravate the precariat as social class;<br>iv) a marginal and intermittent existence, short and discontinuous,<br>autonomous and freely self-inserted/-exploited/-realized/-precarizated,<br>v) as art, out of time, out of order, out of line, a defiant leap;<br>vi) a school of sudden realization, perhaps - without past or future -<br>not here, not now, not this, not that - letting time fall away, together<br>with its minions - becoming vast and expansive beyond the seconds of the<br>wobbling earth - with the leap second as their paradox.<br><br><br>See full announcement: <a href="http://noemata.net/leapsec26/callforentries.html" target="_blank">http://noemata.net/leapsec26/callforentries.html</a></div><div>Thanks for forwarding the announcement</div></div>
