[Nettime-nl] fwd: Space and the Arts Workshop Call for Papers

[Josephine Bosma <jesis@xs4all.nl>]

hallo nettimers.

Ik kan me niet goed herinneren of ik het volgende al eerder ben
tegengekomen (Arts Catalyst is vooral actief in Groot Brittanie, en
daar heb ik al vele mails over gehad). Het is in het Engels, excuses
daarvoor, maar het gaat om een workshop die in NL plaatsvind, dus
misschien zijn er onder u mensen die hierin geinteresseerd zijn.
Deadline voor teksten over kunst en de ruimte(vaart?): 29 Februari
2004.

groetjes,


J

Presentations are being solicited from space scientists, engineers, technologists, artists, writers, journalists, art critics, curators and philosophers who have a developed interest in the aims and theme of the workshop.

The Workshop on "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts" aims to:
*   provide a platform where new ideas and experiments relating to the
interaction of space science, technology and the arts can be exposed and debated
*   provide an environment where people, especially artists and other
"culture professionals" together with space scientists, engineers can
exchange ideas and projects about space from the perspective of their
unique backgrounds, education and experiences
*   provide a meeting place where new space art and technology projects
can emerge and new teams and partnerships can be built
*   nurture a domain of space activities that is becoming more
recognized in both the space community and in the mainstream art world
*   disseminate the ideas and projects by publicizing the results of the event.

About 30-40 participants will be selected on the basis of a submitted abstract of a proposed presentation.  Presentations can be about any aspect or issue related to "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts".

Potential participants might like to consider submitting abstracts for presentations addressing such topics as:
*   the impact of space technologies on the arts and vice-a-versa
*  the transfer of space technologies to art and design
*  the role and involvement of space bodies in the arts
*  designing art for the space environment - the requirements, the limitations
*  synergies between the arts and space communities
*  the interaction between space, arts and the public
*  space and the new media arts
*  using the arts to explore space
*  the arts in orbit - use of the ISS for artistic and cultural expression.

Authors need not, of course, limit themselves to these topics.

The deadline for abstract submission is 29 February 2004. Details for abstract submission can be found below.
