THIS CALL IS NOW CLOSED
This is an invitation by the ISEA2006 Symposium and ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge to groups and individuals to submit proposals for exhibition of interactive artworks and projects reflecting on the thematic of Community Domain.
Community Domain artworks selected to date.
ABOUT THE ISEA2006 SYMPOSIUM AND ZEROONE SAN JOSE FESTIVAL
The 2006 edition of the internationally renowned ISEA Symposium will be held August 7-13, 2006, in San Jose, California. See http://isea2006.sjsu.edu for more information.
The Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international non-profit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies. Prior host cities include Helsinki, Paris, Sydney, Montreal, Chicago, Manchester and Nagoya.
ZeroOne San Jose is a milestone festival to be held biennially making the work of the most innovative contemporary artists in the world accessible. In 2006 it will be held in conjunction with the ISEA2006 Symposium.
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DOMAIN CALL ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose seek to engage diverse communities -- of interest, geography, ethnicity, race, or belief. In particular, we seek projects that recognize the hybridity of communities and take transverse routes across communities.
Many of the members of these communities have no specific interest in art or technology or their intersection. Yet they have stories to tell and images of the city to map. ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose are looking for exemplary projects that actively engage these audiences and help build bridges between them in ways that may utilize digital technologies, but which are not necessarily specific to those technologies.
In other words, the goal is not to train community members to become artists but to use digital and networked technologies to allow them to participate in the creation of their own stories -- to become dynamic producers rather than only static consumers.
Proposed projects can derive from any local context and do not need to be related specifically to San Jose and the surrounding Silicon Valley region, although projects can, of course, engage San Jose / Silicon Valley audiences as well. For this call, unlike with the early Community Domain call (http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/communitydomain1/), we do not have available funding to support accepted projects, although we will do what we can to provide materials necessary for and helpful to fundraising as well as a venue and an audience for the work.
