ACM Multimedia 2008 Interactive Art Program October 27 - November 1,Vancouver, Canada
*CALL FOR EXHIBITION ENTRIES AND PAPERS*
ACM Multimedia 2008 is the premier annual multimedia conference, covering all aspects of multimedia computing. The ACM MM Interactive Art Program seeks to bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology.
This fifth version of the Interactive Art Program will consist of an art exhibition and a conference track. We invite artists working with digital media and researchers in technical areas to submit their original contributions:
• Conference track: we solicit papers describing interactive multimedia artworks, tools, applications, and technical approaches for creative uses of multimedia content and technology, and management of art-related media collections. Emphasis will be given to new works that describe the creative processes within art, in forms such as interactive experiences and creativity support tools. We also invite papers on works that are interactive, particularly works that exploit non-conventional human-computer interfaces or sensors in new and emerging areas. We strongly encourage papers with a strong technical content written by artists. Papers may be long (10 pages) or short (2 to 4 pages). Long papers are presented in front of an audience and short papers are presented in poster format. Deadline for full papers to the Arts Program Conference Track April 11, 2008 Deadline for short papers to the Arts Program Conference Track June 6, 2008
• Multimedia art exhibition: We seek artworks exploring the theme of “BorderZones" using multimedia to shift, traverse, intersect, and combine genres and modalities to provoke the emergence of new frameworks. We particularly seek interactive multimedia works that by combining multiple media, technologies, and novel technical ideas, realise strong artistic concepts that give a new perspective on the topic of the exhibition. Deadline for submission to the Art Exhibition: April 11, 2008
