Subject: DIGITAL ARTS & CULTURE: CALL FOR PAPERS, PERFORMANCES, & INSTALLATIONS
DIGITAL ARTS & CULTURE '99 (DAC '99)
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
October 28-30, 1999
..
An international conference sponsored by
The Center for New Media Education & Research
School of Literature, Communication, & Culture
Georgia Institute of Technology
Georgia, USA
Department of Humanistic Informatics
Faculty of Arts
University of Bergen
Bergen, Norway
..
Drawing on multiple technical and artistic traditions, many artists and
writers of the late twentieth century are exploring the aesthetic and
discursive possibilities of digital technologies. New collective forms of
cultural production and exchange are evolving from the communication
practices supported by the new media. At the same time, theorists and
critics are investigating the place of new media artifacts in social,
philosophical, and critical contexts.
"Digital Arts and Culture '99" will bring together an international field
of practitioners and scholars engaged in the work of making these
technologies meaningful for contemporary culture. An academic conference
and an artistic exhibition, DAC '99 will represent a unique forum for
celebrating and critiquing the techniques, forms, and aesthetics of new
media.
Scholars and artists working in new media arts, theory, and criticism are
encouraged to submit proposals to present their work at the conference.
Presentations may be in the form of scholarly papers or presentations; or
performance, installations, or sculpture incorporating digital
technologies, interactive or digital video, virtual environments, or
network-based elements. Conference sessions may combine academic
presentations with mediated performances; we encourage proposals which push
the boundaries of the traditional conference paper in form and content.
The conference schedule will include a concurrent "artists' salon" for
demonstrations of networked or CD-ROM based work. Artists unable to
transport their work to Atlanta are encouraged to submit proposals for
artists' statements and demonstrations.
..
