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 ommunication between both performer and public can be interactively networked in real time through various forms of computer enhanced dialoging.
To draw a parallel between the symposium's title [Kon.[Text]] and the phrase "in the body of the text" in terms how both performer and public are virtually networked by the expansion of the real into virtual, issues in media enhanced performance and its re-embodiment into the domains of hyper-reality will be tangibly demonstrated in a
series of evening performances.
The organizers of the Digital Art Weeks ETH Zurich are seeking presentations, demonstrations and performances on all themes specific to performance using electronic media that explore a concept of the Performative Surround in terms of how computer-mediated communication and dialog takes place between performers and
viewers and how it tends to aid in dissolving the divide between performer and viewer. Submissions of both theoretical and empirical studies are invited from the perspectives of the performing arts and computer science and as well as other topics relevant to the Performative Surround and it technology basis. Suggested submission
topics for papers, demonstrations and performance include, but are not limited to the following themes:
1. Media Enhanced Artwork in the areas of Performance, Dance and Sound-Art
2. Laptop Music (including Live-Coding!) & Film Accompaniment (Live-Cinema & Live-Re-Scoring)
3. Mobile Art & Music Works that explore Performer Networking and Audience Participation
4. Net-poetry and literature & computer mediated communication (i.e. Hyper-Media Embedding)
5. Grammar-based Software Systems for Multimedia
The organizers of the Digital Art Weeks ETH Zurich are seeking participants for a series of PANELS concerning the following themes in relationship to the Performative Surround:
1. Software Innovations relevant to all aspects of Computer Mediated Communication and its application in the performing arts
2. Live Cinema, Expanded Video, Film Rescoring & Immersive Audio Space & Video Space
3. Media Enhanced Performance
4. Projects concerning the dissolve of the Performer-Audience & Private Space-Pubic Space Divide
DEADLINE FOR ALL PROPOSALS: Friday, March 17, 2006
Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out on or before Friday, April 7, 2006.
