[Nettime-nl] ACM Multimedia 2007 -- Call for Exhibition Entries and Papers

[Marieke Istha <istha@montevideo.nl>]

ACM Multimedia 2007

ACM Multimedia is the premier annual multimedia conference, covering all 
aspects of multimedia computing. The Interactive Art Program, in 
conjunction with ACM MM, 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. The ACM Multimedia Interactive 
Arts program was held in Santa Barbara, CA in 2006 , in Singapore in 
2005 , and in New York City in 2004.

The program consists of a Conference Track in which authors present full 
papers in front of an audience, and short papers in poster format. In 
addition, the program features an Interactive Art Exhibition. The art 
exhibition will be hosted in the historical Zeughaus right in the center 
of Augsburg. The exhibition is open to the general public, but for the 
conference sessions registration is required. Please visit the main 
conference page and click on "registration".

Call for Exhibition Entries and Papers

This fourth 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 to the following tracks:

• Multimedia Art Exhibition: "I / You / Other" For this exhibition we 
seek artworks that use multimedia to explore issues of interactivity, 
self-exploration, self-representation, identity, the self in a group or 
the group as a self. We particularly seek interactive multimedia works 
that by combining multiple media, technologies, and novel technical 
ideas, realize strong artistic concepts that give a new perspective on 
the representation and presentation of the self and its interaction with 
others.
Deadline for submission to the Art Exhibition: May 8, 2007

• Conference Track: we solicit papers describing interactive multimedia 
art works, tools, applications, and technical approaches for creative 
uses of multimedia content and technology as well as technical 
approaches for the management of art-related media collections. Emphasis 
will be given to novel works that use a rich variety of media and those 
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 Conference Track May 8, 2007
Deadline for short papers to the Conference Track June 1, 2007

Accepted papers and art works will be published in the ACM Multimedia 
conference proceedings.
