Xperiment >L is a monthly series about women in electronic music live performances, film/video screenings, discussions & workshops. This months gathering is Friday 10 september, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands featuring AGF+SUE.C with electronic poetry & live video. AGF is in love with language, poetry, communicating impressions and experiences, and views our society of today in a philosophical but also a politically critical way. Her most recent project 'Westernization Completed' is a refined and fascinating mix of text (spoken and sung) and electronic music, giving you the feeling you're introduced to a highly personal, self-created universe. Sue Costabile in her turn likes to mix the organic with the synthetic, analogue techniques with digital processes. With these images projected on a large format, the monumental church space of Arminius might even be transformed for a while into this personal and very special universe of AGF+Sue C. The night is in cooperation with Arminius (opening of season) and the TRACER-festival of TENT. and Witte de With ( www.arminius.nu ) and http://www.cbk.rotterdam.nl/TENT

The Association of American Geographers are seeking papers that examine geographies of the various forms of media, including music, art, advertising, newspapers and magazines, video and animation etc. These sessions should include contributions to current issues surrounding these media, beginning with constructions of space, culture, society, and identity within textual realms. AAG are hoping to present a wide range of both topic and context and seek participants interested in the geographical implications - social, political, cultural, and economic - that are often contained within the spaces and places of different forms of media. These contexts invite inquiries into the production, distribution, exhibition, and consumption of all types of media and they encourage critical, pedagogical and discursive contributions. visit http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/call_for_papers/call_for_papers1.html for details
