----------------------------------------------------------


Open Ear (http://openear.wordpress.com/) is a loose collaborative  
group formed in 2006 by Paul Adams, Garrett Lynch and Matt Wright  
with the purpose of creating audio-visual art and organising live  
events within club, gallery, open air or site-specific venues.

 From September 2007 to April 2008 Open Ear will curate a series six  
inter-disciplinary, free, themed events at Canterbury Christ Church  
University, Broadstairs Campus.  All events will take place from 8pm  
till late and include a selection of performances, installations,  
videos and inter-disciplinary work from invited artists for the event  
or selected through calls for works.  Later in 2008 a DVD of all six  
events will be released on the C3U Music Label.  The dates, themes  
and curator for each event are as follows:

Interference - 16/10/07, curated by Paul Adams
Network - 20/11/07, curated by Garrett Lynch (see further details below)
Memory - 11/12/07, curated by Matt Wright

:: Network - 20/11/07 ::

A network is any system of interconnected points / locations, nodes,  
which become greater, augmented, than when in isolation.  While  
emphasis is most often placed on the nodes, it is the connections /  
links / lines / flows, the spaces between, the hinterland of the  
network, and their resulting mesh / matrix, which provides the site,  
means and context for the networks ability to transfer and  
transform.  Similarly art can be thought of as a space in-between:

“The work of art occupies a pivotal point between two sets of  
behaviour, the artist’s and the spectator’s.  It is essentially a  
matrix, the substance between.  It exists nether for itself nor by  
itself.” (Ascott, R. 2003, Telematic Embrace)

On November 20th Open Ear  will host an event curated by Garrett  
Lynch (http://www.asquare.org/) entitled Network which will present  
performances on this theme.  Sound and visual artists / groups  
working with networks as a thematic or technical element to their  
work within live performance contexts will contribute to the event.   
Performances will include the use of networks to dynamically generate  
or enhance performance, to collaboratively create a performance  
through a network, to discuss the nature of networks and their impact  
on society etc.  All performances will be audio or visual works  
(including any combination therein) of up to 30 minutes duration  
each.  The line-up for the evening will be as follows:
