Call for Projects* Open Call for project proposals to be developed during a production workshop for the creation of video games related to public space and the city as an interface (July 1-7, 2013) in Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Spain). During seven days of intensive work, ideas will be tested and prototypes developed by working with partners and technical assistants. Deadline: May 31, 2013. More information and submissions: http://medialab-prado.es/article/convocatoria_interfaces_solidas _Framework_ In recent years, the video game experience has outgrown TV screens, game consoles and laptops, becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The availability of mobile devices, tablets, sensors, geolocation services, augmented realities and media facades has allowed the development of new game ideas experimentally and as a prototype. At the forefront of these game forms, which take place in some cases without the screen as an interface, is the interaction with other users and with the environment. Moreover, commercial controllers like Wiimote or Kinect have popularized the idea of the game away from the traditional game controller, transforming the game into a complete physical experience. This workshop proposes to think about games in the public space as an opportunity to generate other uses of the city and connections among its citizens. _Lines of Work_ The selection will consider ideas and projects that are already taking place and address one of the following elements: ? The use of urban furniture as an interface for the game ? Media Fa?ade ? Non-random Games ? Interaction with the space ? Place specific ? Networked City _Methodology_ A maximum of 4 projects will be selected and developed collaboratively in this intensive workshop with the support of tutors, technical assistants and partners. Once projects are selected, there will be an open call for collaborators, who will be fairly selected by the organization and the project promoters. Open Call for collaborators.

IHEAP is open to all those who have an interest in singular and extreme practices which currently and sporadically appear in the art world and elsewhere. IHEAP is for those who want to change their artistic practice or professional activity, for those who after several years of art school want to break free of alienated learning, who expect more from a school than a framework for artistic production, for those who reject art as it is commonly practiced, and finally for those who wish to work on essential issues in intimate and experimental conditions. The course of study is completed in two years. The first year is composed of sessions work that mix practice and theorie. The second year is dedicated to the writing of an activity report. Its purpose is to demonstrate the development of the participant's research. IHEAP does not discriminate by age. No specific diploma is required to apply. Study at Iheap is equivalent to a postgraduate degree. The application fee is 75 euros. Tuition is 2800 euros for two years studies. The two steps of the entrance examination at IHEAP: pre-admission and admission.

Organization studies is beginning to engage with digital culture and the developments precipitated by digital media as a technological condition as well as the kinds of social, political and cultural consequences produced by their advance. The PhD project is expected to focus on the contemporary orchestration of socio-technical relations and how these change the logics of informational and affective organization. Empirically, this calls for in-depth inquiries into experiments with new organizational forms and processes of connectivity, cooperation and control. Conceptually, this calls for new approaches that relate the study of material and affective processes of organization to recent conceptual developments in theorizing digital media and network cultures.
