Art + Australia is calling for proposals from artists, designers, architects, theorists and historians for ‘Issue 58.2\_The Mirror’, dedicated to exploring AI and its burgeoning role in contemporary art through a uniquely Australian lens. We encourage submissions that investigate the ways in which AI intersects with artistic practice, its broader cultural and social implications, and challenges our understanding of the human.

In 2023 OpenAI launched ChatGPT-4 as a range of new, highly sophisticated AI technologies flooded the data-sphere. The new apps allow for complex image and video generation, text generation and code writing, which are rapidly becoming a new, non-human labour force instructed to perform novel tasks that edge us ever closer to artificial general intelligence. These AI interfaces have led to widespread debate, consternation and have reignited conversations around authorship, labour, technology, desire, value, surveillance, and education.

For this issue of Art + Australia, we welcome proposals that engage with the overarching theme of "The Mirror", an object and symbol of reflection, self-examination, and representation. Is AI technology simply a democratising mirror as Tim O’Reilly discusses? Does AI, as Franco “Bifo” Berardi argues, further disassemble and augment desire? Does it have the potential to eschew or reconfigure our current labour practices? What does art tell us about AI’s uses, fallibility, and bias? What futures are artists imagining with AI? Is AI yet another techno-bureaucracy accelerating the global feedback of contemporaneity?

— Art + Australia provides an 80c p/word fee for articles published on Art + Australia

— A fee a equivalent will be determined on a case-by-case basis for all creative or experimental submissions

GLOW Canalside Celebration- Irving, TX

Polish Composers’ Union (Poland) in partnership with Berg Orchestra (Czechia), Waves Bratislava (Slovakia), and UMZE Association (Hungary) invite composers from the Visegrad Group countries to collaborate on the ‘Renewable Music - V4 Composers for sustainability’ project in the framework of the Creative Europe programme for 2023-2025.

  
The main objective of the project is to revive international cooperation after the COVID-19 pandemic and to raise awareness of the growing climate and energy crisis by developing environmentally friendly practices in the music sector. Four new pieces of music inspired by the idea of ‘renewability’ will be commissioned from selected composers representing the Visegrad Group countries. The commissioned pieces will be performed at four different concerts (in Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest), each by a local ensemble, whose members will be joined by musicians from partner countries as part of the international artist exchange programme. The concerts will take place in locations that will be adapted to the unique conditions of open-air concert sites, reflecting each location’s bond with the surrounding environment. The concerts will be accompanied by workshops, masterclasses, open rehearsals and lectures. The project will be summed up by an international conference devoted to the ideas of ecology and sustainable development in music.

  

**The organisers cover all travel costs (train/bus tickets, accommodation, subsistence).** Participating composers receive a commission fee of 4000 EUR.

**Project Overview**

The Town of Windsor Arts Commission (WAC) is seeking an artist to design, fabricate, and install a three-dimensional artwork at the Historic Halfway Homestead, Windsor’s newest historical site and park. This site is currently under development with the goal of opening in the summer of 2024.

The WAC is seeking an artist to contribute a three-dimensional work to the site that will complement the theme of agricultural heritage while also adding visual interest to the site. The Town of Windsor predicts that the Historic Halfway Homestead will become a popular gathering place for the community and beyond and wants to showcase their new but rapidly-developing public art program.

**Site Overview**

The Historic Halfway Homestead, so named for the stagecoach stop at the location that was halfway between Greeley and Laporte, is a two-acre site that contains Windsor’s oldest standing building along with another historical farmhouse. These two buildings are being restored while the surrounding area will become an educational site and park that is focused on Windsor’s agricultural heritage. The site will feature educational, sensory, and community gardens; a small stage with an event lawn; a nature play area; water and irrigation interactive educational features; an outdoor teaching kitchen; and multiple gathering spaces.

The site is located on a main route into the Town on the border between a commercial and a residential area. It is also adjacent to the Greeley #2 Ditch Trail, a major multi-use trail that connects the Historical Halfway Homestead to Windsor’s Downtown and other cultural sites. 

**Project Criteria**

The WAC utilizes the Town of Windsor Public Art Master Plan, which was created using extensive community feedback, to determine the specifications for public artworks. Based on the criteria from the master plan, the WAC is seeking an artist who will create a piece that is:

* Engaging
* Interactive or kinetic
* Reflects the historical nature of the site in a creative way
* Is appropriate in scale to the site
* Has an educational component
* Is whimsical (a word used frequently in the Master Plan)

The Historic Halfway Homestead is currently under development with construction and landscape slated to begin in the fall of 2023\. **Please click here to access a Google Drive with site plans, historical information, and a video walkthrough of the site.**
