>>COMMISSIONED WORKS
>>Proposals for new, original, interdisciplinary works will be
>>accepted for a "Commissioned" category. Works must be created by a
>>team consisting of two or more members, and must combine two or
>>more areas of creative expression and contain a major technology
>>component. Proposals will be accepted for performances, concerts,
>>showings or installations; completed works will be presented
>>during the symposium. Proposals must include detailed technical
>>and production requirements, and a proposed budget. Limit of one
>>proposal per team. The piece must not have been previously
>>published, performed or exhibited. Awards will be granted at the
>>discretion of the Center. Submissions not accepted for the
>>commissioned category will also be reviewed for the general
>>submissions category. Accepted commissions will be awarded a
>>stipend of $3000 and a residency at Connecticut College between
>>March 27 and April 1 that includes:
>>- performance or installation of the accepted work
>>- workshops with students
>>- attendance at the symposium
>>- presentation at the symposium
>>
>>
>>PAPERS
>>A two-page extended abstract or complete paper, including
>>technical requirements, must be submitted by email or mail. Upon
>>acceptance, revised papers must be submitted electronically by
>>January 31, 2006 as a PDF. Complete technical requirements for
>>presentation must be included. Papers will be published by the
>>Center in the symposium proceedings. All rights will remain with
>>the author. Papers will be selected for twenty-minute
>>presentations as part of the daily schedule of speakers. Papers
>>may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion format.
>>
>>PANEL DISCUSSIONS
>>Proposals for panel discussions are encouraged. Proposals should
>>include names of prospective panelists and topic, which should
>>address the general areas of the symposium. Papers may be grouped
>>by the Center in a panel discussion format.
>>
>>
>>CREATIVE WORKS
>>In addition to academic and theoretical papers, submissions of
>>technology-based or technology-oriented creative works are
>>encouraged. Maximum one proposal per person or team, and we
>>reserve the right not to review multiple pieces in a single
>>submission. All submissions must be accompanied by a one-page
>>description/abstract for presentation at the symposium about the
>>work, a list of complete technical needs, biography and contact
>>information. See specific categories for additional
>>requirements. All presenters and artists are encouraged to speak
>>about their work at the symposium. Symposium registration will be
>>required for all symposium attendees.
>>
>>MUSIC COMPOSITIONS
>>Music submissions (composition, performance, theory,
>>interactivity, signal processing and music understanding) are
>>encouraged. Works for instruments, digital media, CD or
>>interactive compositions are also being solicited for "tape only"
>>concerts or live performance. Works should not exceed 15 minutes
>>in length and should be submitted with accompanying score, where
>>appropriate. Music must be submitted on CD for review, with
>>accompanying scores as required. Musicians, dancers and actors
>>may be available for live performance pieces. All submissions must
>>be accompanied by a one page description/abstract for presentation
>>at the symposium about the work. Complete technical and
>>performance requirements must be included.
>>
>>ART
>>Submissions of digital art, web art and other technology-based or
>>technology-oriented art forms are encouraged. Submissions of
>>desktop interactive works, self-contained web works, time based
>>work, performance and installations will be considered. Acceptance
>>may be constrained by technical needs, security and financial
>>considerations. Artworks will be reviewed on the basis of
>>documentation of the work presented in the form of a website, CD,
>>DVD, VHS or slides. Submissions must include a one-page
>>description/abstract for presentation at the symposium about the
>>work, portfolio (maximum 4 jpegs, no larger than 2 Mb each), brief
>>biography, contact details, and complete technical needs and
>>spatial requirements
>>
>>VIDEO AND FILM
>>Submissions of short video or film works that include a
>>significant 'technology' component in their creation, aesthetic or
>>theme are encouraged. The 'tech' involved may be 'high' or 'low',
>>ranging from digital animations and motion capture work on the
>>'high-tech' end to various methods of creating film without
>>photography, or novel uses of the projector beam on the low tech
>>side. Works that display worthy reflections on the nexus of art,
>>society and technology, even if created by primarily
>>'conventional' means, are encouraged. Submissions in the category
>>of 'expanded cinema' and projection performance will be accepted,
>>but resources are limited and artists presenting such work should
>>expect to bring all or much of their own essential gear.
>>Submissions must include a one-page description/abstract of the
>>work and VHS, DV or DVCAM tape, DVD (tape preferred). For works
>>involving anything other than standard video or 16mm projection, a
>>complete description of technical and space needs is required.
>>Exhibition format will be DV, DVCAM, or 16mm film (no home-burned
>>DVDs).Selection for screening may be made in part on the maker's
>>willingness/ability to attend the symposium.
>>
>>DANCE AND THEATER
>>Computer-generated or computer-aided dance compositions and
>>theater works are being solicited for live demonstrations or for
>>videotaped presentations. Specially produced dance or theater
>>videos are of particular interest as opposed to concert tapes or
>>other archival uses of video. Also of interest are proposals for
>>workshops, demonstrations of software for dance or theater
>>notation, choreographic analysis, interactive studies and/or multi-
>>media studies of performance in dance and theater. Performances
>>may be accepted, but will be limited by technical needs and
>>financial considerations. All submissions should be accompanied by
>>a web site, CD, DVD or VHS, and one page description/abstract for
>>presentation at the symposium about the work, biography, contact
>>details, and complete technical needs and spatial requirements.
