2. Artists for Change (Unite for Change)
Saturday June 28, 2008
7pm - 9pm
@ The Co-Prosperity Sphere
3219 S Morgan St

We don't usually endorse any politician, but we have to do everything we can
to stop Mc Cain from winning. Come out and join a new Obama inspired
organization that is having a way early Pre-party for Obama's victory.
Meet your fellow citizens that still have hope and figure out what cultural
workers can do together to increase the volume of awareness for the upcoming
election.

"This event is about bringing all types of artists together to unite and
make a difference. We want all artists to unite and use their creative
powers and gain an overwhelming support for Barack Obama. You'll gather --
not just with Obama supporters, but with anyone who's tired of the politics
of the past and ready for something new -- to discuss our common vision for
the future. And you'll start planning how to build this movement across the
country in the weeks and months ahead. So, come join us for a brief (but
hearty) presentation and discussion about supporting Barack Obama. "

Please RSVP @ http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/4gldk

5. Early warning. Select Media Festival 7 : Infoporn

Announcing the Seventh Annual Select Media Festival: INFOPORN
Deadline for submission: September 1, 2008

>start>>>>
Heartbeats. Beverages. Products and byproducts. Things we make, and things
that make us. Seconds, minutes, millennia. From the mundane to the majestic,
it can all be documented, diagnosed, understood, dispersed. Right?

Graphs, charts, and maps record data, keep history, and document our
existence. Sometimes, they provide visual and aesthetic stimuli too. Select
Media 7: INFOPORN will be a visual explosion of these points and paths,
these executions and exercises and maps. We want to put these moments on
display, to measure them out out. We want to understand and appreciate; be
enraged, enlightened, amazed by them. We want to feast.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR!

INFOPORN EXHIBITION
all media formats

Send your greatest hits or make something  new. Use color, shape, form,
sound. Use marbles or twigs. Use a computer, a camera, a crayon. The data is
the art and you are the simple stenographer. Measure it. Record it. Jot it
down, plot it out, pass it out, and capture it. Let us see it, let us relate
to it, let us celebrate or begin to understand it.

A SUBJECTIVE ATLAS OF CHICAGO
all media formats

Document the thing that has the greatest effect on your existence in
Chicago. Realign existing info, or imagine new ways of navigating the city.
Maps political or personal, realism or utopia, rollerblades or red tape,
online or inline: it's all legit. Draw conclusions if you want, but they are
not necessary. A publication/project will be created and released/exhibited
at the festival.

>>>

Deadline!
September 1, 2008

Send PDFs, posters, boxes of dirt, publications, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes,
crayon boxes, maps in bottles, urls, ftp sites, etc. to:

Select Media Festival 7
960 W 31st Street
Chicago Il 60608
