Given my post about Database City yesterday this feels like an appropriate moment to put out a feeler for an upcoming issue of Vague Terrain that I'll be curating. Vague Terrain 13: citySCENE will be published (approximately) next March and dedicated to the representation of urban space. For the issue I'll be looking to assemble about a dozen projects which map, sample, recontextualize and critique the contemporary city. Sound, image, text - any work that can be displayed and disseminated via the web is fine by me.
While I'll be distributing a formal call in December I wanted to tap into the readers and community around this blog first. Please email me if you'd like to discuss potential participation. If you have a peer whose work might fit into the above (admittedly schematic at the moment) theme please send them my way. Our general submission guidelines for Vague Terrain are available here, although the best way to get a sense of what is expected would be to look at some of the past issues.
One final point - we recently issued a call for Vague Terrain 12: Device Art which will be guest curated by Toronto tech-art guru Rob Cruickshank. Interactive artists, Arduino massive and object hackers take note! If you've got relevant work to share drop Rob a line.
