[Ieee_vis] Art Show at IEEE VisWeek CFP

[Daniel Keefe]

Dear friends and colleagues, especially friends of combining art,
interaction, and visualization,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to the upcoming IEEE
VisWeek Art Show in Providence, RI, Oct. 23-28 2011.  The deadline to
submit has just been extended to June 20.  There are more details
below and also on the conference website:
http://www.visweek.org/visweek/2011/info/call-participation/art-show
One of our goals in organizing this show at the main IEEE
VisWeek conference is to bring the traditional
scientific/information visualization and visual analytics communities
together with practicing artists and designers.  I know many of you
have also worked toward this or similar goals and have great insight
to contribute to the ongoing discussion of synergies between art,
technology, visualization, computer graphics, and so on.  I hope we
can attract you, your students (and/or your work) to join us in
Providence in the Fall!!

All the best,
Dan Keefe & Bruce Campbell (VisWeek Art Show Chairs)



ART SHOW CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Art and visualization have always shared a close relationship.  Today,
it seems closer than ever.  Traditional and new media artists are
redefining the way that we view science and information, while experts
in science, medicine, informatics, and visualization are impacting art
practice through new ideas, technologies, and collaborations.  The
VisWeek 2011 Art Show aims to showcase the exciting and increasingly
prominent intersections between art and visualization while fostering
new thinking, discussion, and collaboration between artists,
designers, technologists, visualization scientists, and others working
at the intersection of these two fields.

The VisWeek 2011 Art Show seeks artworks that creatively employ
visualization technologies in art practice; artworks that explore
issues surrounding the role of science, information, and visualization
in society; and works that otherwise demonstrate exceptional synergies
of art and visualization.  Submission of works including 2D and 3D
prints, physical objects, interactive and non-interactive displays,
and multimodal installation environments are all encouraged, as are
collaborative submissions.  Submissions will be reviewed in a jury
process, and the selected work will be exhibited at a gallery space at
VisWeek 2011.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

To submit work to the jury process, email the following to
art at visweek.org by Monday June 20 (DEADLINE EXTENDED!):

(1) Information about the work and the artist. Please prepare a 1-2
page PDF document that includes the following information.

Basic information:  Title, date of completion, artists and
collaborators, size of work, and media used.
A description of the work (up to 200 words).
An artist’s statement (up to 300 words) including your purpose, how
you make your work, and your theoretical framework / how your work
relates to synergies between art and visualization.
A description of requirements for displaying the work.  For
interactive works especially document the floorplan, lighting, power,
network, wireless communication, and/or any other special needs.
(2) Visual documentation of the work. Submit up to three images of the
work and optionally one video.  Please include a video for interactive
works.

The PDF document and images may be attached directly to your email
submission sent to art at visweek.org .  Links to large video files may
be included in your email rather than attaching the file.  You will
receive confirmation that your submission has been received via return
email.

EVALUATION

An interdisciplinary jury with expertise in art and visualization will
review works submitted to the jury process.  Work will be judged based
on the potential impact of the work, the quality of the accompanying
artist statement and documentation, the depth and creativity of the
exploration, and the relevance to synergies or future synergies
between art and visualization.

UPON ACCEPTANCE

Notices of acceptance or rejection from the exhibition will be sent
via email.  Detailed information and instructions will then be sent
out regarding hanging/installing the show.  Artists will be
responsible for bringing or shipping their work to VisWeek 2011.
