1. ICE is pleased to welcome Dr. Loss Pequeno Glazier - poet, Professor of Media Study, and
Director of the Electronic Poetry Center at SUNY Buffalo - as a visiting artist and lecturer April 7th
through 9th. Dr. Glazier's visit is sponsored by the Lanier Speaker Series and ICE. All events are
free and open to the public.

Schedule of events:
Thursday April 8,
11:00 AM Dr. Glazier will speak about his experience as Director of the Electronic
Poetry Center in Park Hall room 261. An informal reception with refreshments will
follow.

7:00 PM public lecture/performance in the Visual Arts Building room 117.

Friday April 9
1:00 PM  Open workshop at the ICE Studio, Tanner Building room 101.

Loss Pequeño Glazier has widely published both his poetry and his theoretical writings on the
electronic text and has created performance-based works that present "a reading and projection
of visual, kinetic, text, and Java-based compositions for electronic space." His most recent book of
poetry, Anatman, Pumpkin Seed, Algorithm, was published by Salt Publishing in 2003, and has
been described by Charles Bernstein as 'flying through the textual air and landing on all three
sides of every border crossing.' Digital Poetics: The Making of E-Poetries was published in 2002 by
University of Alabama Press and has become one of the most significant examinations of the
intersection between poetics and technology. Glazier is a thoughtful scholar and pioneer of the
textual condition, exploring languages as they overlap in the accelerating border-crossings of the
global age, including his childhood in bilingual South Texas and his extensive travels, and
languages as they warp and adapt in the materiality of new technologies. For more information

2. CURO Symposium begins next week, April 12-13.

More than 100 students from the University of Georgia and other institutions in the state will
make presentations at the annual Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Symposium
on April 12-13 at UGAs Tate Student Center. Visual and performing arts exhibitions also will be
featured during the symposium, which is free and open to the public.

 CURO, a part of UGAs Honors Program, fosters undergraduate research overseen by faculty. The
symposium is one way students learn from one another by discussing their research and sharing
their creative and scholarly works with an outside audience. Students from UGA will be joined by
students from Georgia College and State University, Georgia State University, Georgia Southern
University and the Medical College of Georgia.

 Distinguished Research Professor of Ecology Judy Meyer is the featured speaker for the
symposium on April 12 at 4 p.m. in Georgia Hall. Her talk is titled A Stream Runs Through It:
Ecological Insights on Water. Since joining UGA in 1977, Meyer has studied a variety of issues
ranging from river and stream food webs to riparian buffer designations for Georgias trout
streams. She was previously named a national Clean Water Act hero for her contributions to
protecting and restoring Americas rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal waters.

 The symposium includes concurrent presentations of student research, poster sessions and a
student art exhibition. Among the poster presentations is Christopher Kit Hughes experimental
wireless art project in which Internet users can draw or tag virtual graffiti on areas of downtown
Athens, using a handheld device within a wireless area. The fifth-year digital media major has
been a CURO summer research fellow and was recently accepted into the VIGRE (Vertical
Integration of Research and Education in the Mathematical Sciences) Summer Research Program in
Mathematics and Visualization at UGA.

3. The Beall Center for Art and Technology supports artistic exploration and experimentation in
new technologies through a competitive exhibition grant program. We are currently soliciting
proposals for exhibition in 2005 and 2006, to fill a total of five exhibition periods. The proposals
will be reviewed in June of 2004 by the Beall Center Curatorial Review Committee.
 The Beall Center produces exhibitions and performances in the visual arts, theater, dance, and
music, and particularly seeks works that successfully integrate new forms or uses of technology
with artistic production or performance. In addition, as the Beall Center has an exceptionally
welldeveloped and flexible infrastructure, such as is found in very few art and technology centers,
preference will be given to works that can not easily be displayed or performed elsewhere.

 Eligibility Artists, curators, or institutions are eligible to submit proposals. Priority is given to
cross-disciplinary projects. Artists or organizations that have previously received funding from the
Beall Center must wait at least two years before reapplying. Women and artists of color are
encouraged to apply. Available Facilities The Beall Center is a 2500 square foot black box with a
highly configurable network grid, and connectivity to gigabit speed Ethernet. See “Facility”< http:/
/beallcenter.uci.edu> for additional information.

 Deadline for Spring Application: May 1, 2004 Award Notification: July, 2004 Exhibition Periods
Available: January-March, 2005; April – June, 2005; September – December, 2005; January –
March, 2006; and April – June, 2006. Proposals Proposals should be submitted in electronic format
and should include:
 1) Contact Information (name of lead applicant, address, email, phone) 2) Project description (500
word max.)
 3) Resume or curriculum vitae for applicant and all participants.
 4) One page itemized budget.
 5) List of equipment and other resources required. If you will require technical assistance, please
outline the nature of that support (hardware, software, expectations of personnel, and
programming skills that will be required).
 6) Copy of any matching awards or copy of funding request for external and internal sources.
Priority will be given to projects with supplemental funding.
 7) Preliminary visual materials (sketches or diagrams) indicating installation concepts. High
resolution jpg or video is appreciated.
 8) Samples of previous work: provide URL(s) or 300 dpi jpg images
 9) Please be prepared to provide two references; you may be contacted during the review process
to provide these.
