SIGGRAPH 2012 Call For Submissions: I am Art
SIGGRAPH 2012, 5-9 August in Los Angeles, California, invites artists from around the world to submit their work to the premier North American conference for art and technology.
SIGGRAPH 2012 is looking for artists In Search of the Miraculous. This concept focuses on the notion of wonderment and awe as a central condition of the works on display. It places special emphasis on the extraordinary relationship between viewer and artwork, and the ability of Art (and Technology) to inspire, reflect, and create amazement.
As the number and quality of submissions have grown in recent years, the SIGGRAPH art program has earned a reputation as both prestigious and world-renowned. This year will be no different. Together, the SIGGRAPH 2012 Art Gallery, Art Papers, and Studio deliver the ideal forum for scholars and creative practitioners to make, present, and exhibit their work.

Re-envisioning Art, Technology and Nature
Our species will survive neither by totally rejecting nor unconditionally embracing technology – but by humanizing it.
-video collective Raindance, Radical Software
The Eighteenth International Symposium on Electronic Art, ISEA2012 Albuquerque: Machine Wilderness is a symposium and series of events exploring the discourse of global proportions on the subject of art, technology and nature. The ISEA symposium is held every year in a different location around the world, and has a 30-year history of significant acclaim. Albuquerque is the first host city in the U.S. in six years.
The ISEA2012 symposium will consist of a conference September 19 – 24, 2012 based in Albuquerque with outreach days along the state’s “Cultural Corridor” in Santa Fe and Taos, and an expansive, regional collaboration throughout the fall of 2012, including art exhibitions, public events, performances and educational activities. This project will bring together a wealth of leading creative minds from around the globe, and engage the local community through in-depth partnerships.
Machine Wilderness references the New Mexico region as an area of rapid growth and technology alongside wide expanses of open land, and aims to present artists' and technologists' ideas for a more humane interaction between technology and wilderness in which "machines" can take many forms to support life on Earth. Machine Wilderness focuses on creative solutions for how technology and the natural world can sustainably co-exist.
The program will include: a bilingual focus, an indigenous thread, and a focus on land and skyscape. Because of our vast resource of land in New Mexico, proposals from artists are being sought that will take ISEA participants out into the landscape. The Albuquerque Balloon Museum offers a unique opportunity for artworks to extend into the sky as well.
The lead organizations hosting ISEA2012 are 516 ARTS, The University of New Mexico and The Albuquerque Museum of Art & History. There are a total over 50 partnering organizations to date representing museums, colleges, nonprofit arts organizations, environmental organizations and the scientific and technological communities.

In Search of the Miraculous
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein
The everyday, filled with the rationality of routines and continuous commitments, blurs into bland sameness. We find ourselves at a loss to remember one day from the next. It is the punctuating moments of surprise, awe, and wonderment that arguably define our lives, or at least what we remember of it. Where do we find such moments?
Science, and its harder-working child, technology, finds itself in a strange place, guilty of explaining away the mystical and sublime (and blamed by Benjamin for the loss of artistic aura). I also produces the unimaginable and miraculous (what would Daedalus make of the space shuttle?). But today's miracle inventions may become tomorrow's global minutiae?
Artists (and their continuing tango with technology) have always played a role in the production of wonderment. When the train was no longer novel, it was Lumiere's projection that made audiences jump. Myron Kruger's interactive video interface preceded the Kinect by over two decades. And what will make us jump tomorrow? Artists of today who are willing to use, subvert, and reconsider technology will surprise us and redefine moments of awe and wonder.
Framed within the mystery of technology itself or the fascinations of a technologically mediated world, from unique interfaces to unique perspectives, the SIGGRAPH 2012 Art Gallery: In Search of the Miraculous, seeks digital and technologically mediated artworks that present moments of wonderment. Explorations may include, but are not limited to, examining current functional, structural, cultural, emotional, or metaphorical definitions, or constructing new realities, experiences, and meanings.
All forms of electronic and digitally mediated art completed in the last two years are eligible for submission. Submission of multimedia installations, two- and three-dimensional works, kinetic, mobile, or interactive pieces is highly encouraged.
Submitted works will be reviewed in a jury process, and the selected work will be exhibited in a gallery space at SIGGRAPH 2012. In addition, selected works will be published in a special issue of Leonardo, The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology.
Artists and scholars are also encouraged to submit proposals for Talks or Art Papers that address themes related to works presented in the gallery.
The SIGGRAPH 2012 online submission system will be available in mid-October.
Art Papers
SIGGRAPH 2012, in collaboration with Leonardo/ISAST, honors not only artists and artwork, but also the process of making art and its place in society. Art Papers illuminate and explore the changing roles of artists and the methods of art-making in our increasingly networked and computationally mediated world. They inform artistic disciplines, set standards, and stimulate future trends. In addition to the core topics of digital arts and interactive techniques, Art Papers can explore the theme of the SIGGRAPH 2012 juried Art Gallery: In Search of the Miraculous, or any other topic consistent with the hybrid culture of SIGGRAPH.
What is an Art Paper? An Art Paper presents a compelling art or design practice within a solid conceptual framework and in accessible ways. In addition to providing a well-articulated description of the work in consideration, the Art Paper must introduce its historical and theoretical context, provide a conceptual narrative that inspires and provokes, and if applicable, argue for its technological innovations. A SIGGRAPH 2012 Art Paper can take the form of one of these five categories: Project Description, Position Paper, Thematic Survey, Technical Paper, or Monograph (only if the author is no longer active).
Authors present Art Papers in 20-minute sessions with five minutes of Q&A. The papers will be published in a special issue of Leonardo, The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology. The issue also includes visual documentation of the works exhibited in the Art Gallery. Publication of this fourth special issue coincides with SIGGRAPH 2012.
The SIGGRAPH 2012 online submission system will be available in mid-October. |

NEWS - JULY 2011
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
LABS SHOW - DEAF 2012
DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 16, 2011
V2_Lab (Rotterdam, NL) and Baltan Laboratories (Eindhoven, NL) launch a call for proposals from media labs around the world for recently produced artworks (developed by artists in labs in 2011-2012) to be featured at the next edition of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival taking place from April 19-22, 2012 in Rotterdam (NL). The intentions of the show are to provide a unique overview of the diversity and quality of work being developed at the crossroads of art and technology today, to present ‘best practices’ of different labs, and provide input for a conference on new forms of contemporary art production in the form of concrete work and working processes. Through this we aim to stimulate new productions, open up the ‘ways of producing’ of labs and fuel the debate on the socio-cultural functions of artistic research and production facilities.
Call for proposals
Any (self-defined) lab, in collaboration with an artist (or artists), can apply with an artwork that they will produce, to be presented in the show. The final selection will be made on the basis of the quality and feasibility of the proposed project in relation to the aims and context of the exhibition. The envisaged total number of participating labs/artworks in the show is 10.
Interested labs should apply with the following material by September 16, 2011 to labsshow[AT]deaf.nl:
description of the applying lab;
project description;
CV of the artist;
(audio-)visual documentation of the work (or sketches and other visual plans if the work has not yet been realised);
space and technical requirements related to the presentation of the work (including a breakdown of the equipment provided by the artist/lab and the equipment needed to be supplied by the festival).
Budget and conditions
Each selected lab/project will receive a budget of 4000 Euro to support costs directly related to the presentation of the project at the Dutch Electronic Art Festival, including:
artist fee;
travel & accommodation for the artist(s) (not the staff of the lab);
extra equipment required for the presentation (additional to what is being provided by the lab/artist);
transportation costs of the work to and from the exhibition at DEAF.
Labs are responsible for making their own individual arrangements for the above, although assistance will be available in relation to equipment rental and accommodation in Rotterdam.
In addition to this budget, DEAF will also provide production/technical assistance for the installation and dismantling of the work.
Presentation
We aim to present the different works in an open, spatial setup. A scenography based on separate spaces in the form of black boxes, etc. would work against the primary concept of the show, which is to open up and address the diversity of practices within the individual labs.
The venue for the show will be confirmed later this year.
Award
A prize will be awarded to the lab presenting the most outstanding work in the show, as selected by the audience of DEAF 2012. The award is intended to support the development of a new project in the lab. More details on the prize will be available in early 2012.
Seminar
In conjunction with the show and in connection with Baltan Laboratories’ Future of the Lab research, we will organise a seminar to present and discuss the different approaches to production, with the specific projects of the participating labs as case studies.
We will also organise moments during the duration of the show when visiting artists have the opportunity to present / pitch new projects to the labs involved in the exhibition (in a similar manner as the professional markets at film festivals).
