CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS, DEMONSTRATIONS & PERFORMANCES
The Digital Art Weeks PROGRAM (DAW06) is concerned with the
application of
digital technology in the arts. Consisting of symposium, workshops and
performances,
the program offers insight into current research and innovations in
art and
technology as well as illustrating resulting synergies in a series of
performances
during the Digital Art Weeks Festival each year, making artists aware
of
impulses in technology and scientists aware of the possibilities of
the application
of technology in the arts.
[Kon.[Text]], this year's Digital Art Weeks SYMPOSIUM concerns the use
of
the Performative Surround in the arts and the technology that drives
it.
The Performative Surround pertains to the immersive quality and
quantity
of the setting of a performative artwork that uses electronic media
enhancement.
Enhanced media art is any artwork that uses electronic media to
communicate
in part or in whole its message to the viewer. The viewer may be
therewith
integrated into the performative arena through the use of the
communicative
powers of the applied media.
In a series of lectures, demonstrations, panels and performances,
artists
and researcher will examine the use of electronic media in
articulating the
performer's presence through the possibilities of the multi-sensuality
of
electronic media. The possibilities of blurring the divide between
public
and performer to bond them through the powers of dissemination and
inclusion
inherent within the technology behind the performative surround will
also
be considered as well as how communication between both performer and
public
can be interactively networked in real time through various forms of
computer
enhanced dialoging.[...]
