1. ICE Open House: uses without objects
Wednesday, October 19 at 6:00 PM
ICE Room, Tanner Building Room 101
Poetry reading by O.B. Bassler and Patrick Fadely

Professor of Philosophy O.B. Bassler recently completed two volumes of poetry: " The Plaster
Years" and "In The House of Black Spaniards". His work (poetic, critical, and mathematical) has
been published in Pulse Berlin and The Annals of Scholarship. He is currently at work on a book on
intrinsically large numbers, tentatively titled "The Long Shadow of the Parafinite". Patrick Fadely is
a BA candidate in Linguistics.  After self-publishing a volume of "8 Poems," he has started an
extensive study of logical structures in lyric poetry.

The reading will be split into two apposite segments: the first part will deal explicitly and implicitly
with the work of Marcel Duchamp, and will extend critically, poetically, and graphically a tenuous
interpretation of what we may learn from his activity as artist and non artist. The second half of
the program will center on the art of manifesto, and the possible permutations of "stance."

All are welcome.

5. Rhizome and free103point9 Open Call for Transmission Art Web Projects

free103point9 and Rhizome are pleased to announce a collaborative call for web-based works that
explore transmission as a medium for creative expression. Projects should practically and/or
conceptually incorporate transmission themes and tools. Applicants are encouraged to visit
free103point9's online Study Center resource for historical, technical, and cultural reference
materials on Transmission Art.

Projects should have been completed within the last year of the opening of the exhibition: January
7, 2006. Projects that are in-development at the time of submission will be considered as long as
their completion date seems to fit realistically with the exhibition timeline. A modest artist fee will
be provided in support of selected projects. We welcome a wide range of interpretations and
ideas.

Selected projects will be included in an online exhibition featured by both free103point9 and
Rhizome websites January ? March 2006. A live performance and/or presentation event will also
take place during the duration of the exhibition.

Submission Deadline October 31, 2005
