With its<br \/>\nawkward and impossible format, the focus of the festival is a questioning<br \/>\nof art and its appearance, materiality, objecthood, phenomenology, or their<br \/>\nnegations or impossibilities, leading to an exploration of media in search<br \/>\nof itself as an appearing\/disappearing form or questioning\/rejecting it.<\/p>\n<p>How can an artistic practice catch\/reflect\/express such a precarious<br \/>\nsituation, an uncertain non-event, an immaterial\/virtual moment, an<br \/>\nuntimely, unsuitable intervention? And how can it challenge exhibition<br \/>\nmodels and force new ways of disseminating works?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also looking for projects and works exploring deviation, glitch, and<br \/>\nwobble; interventions in and hacking of the machination of time; reality<br \/>\ncheck and celebration of natural cycles alining systemic\/conceptual cycles;<br \/>\nprecarity as an unpredictable and insecure condition of a technology of<br \/>\ntime and production affecting material\/physical and social\/psychological<br \/>\nwelfare; a marginal and intermittent existence, short and discontinuous,<br \/>\nautonomous and freely self-inserted\/-exploited\/-realized\/-precarizated;<br \/>\nuntimely art, out of time, out of order, out of line, a defiant leap.<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT<\/p>\n<p>The Leap Second Festival is a distributed, decentralized event for art,<br \/>\ntechnology and precarity, coordinated on the net. This is the third<br \/>\nfestival in the series. The festival is held on leap seconds announced by<br \/>\nIERS (International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service). The<br \/>\nprevious festivals in 2015 and 2012 saw more than 100 works worldwide, from<br \/>\nsplit-second videos, audio and musical works, to conceptual- and<br \/>\ninstructional art, network- and timespecific performances, and sculpture.<br \/>\nThe festivals have support from the Arts Council Norway.<\/p>\n<p>The Leap Second Festival 2012 and 2015 catalogues are available at<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/noemata.net\/leapsec26\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/noemata.net\/leapsec26\/<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/noemata.net\/leapsec\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/noemata.net\/leapsec\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leap Second Festival 2016: 31th December 23:59:60 &#8211; 1st January 2017 00:00:00 (UTC)<\/p>\n<p>Contact\/Submit proposal: <a href=\"mailto:leapsec@noemata.net\">leapsec@noemata.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ORGANIZERS<\/p>\n<p>Ars Publica\/noemata &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noemata.net\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.noemata.net<\/a><br \/>\nBrowserBased group &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.browserbased.org\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.browserbased.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadline: 24 December 2016 Call for entries Leap Second Festival 2016 Open call: Projects and works lasting one second or less.
