It will attempt to >>understand how new information and communication technologies produce means >>of expression unique to digital civilizations. >> >> >>THEMES >>In April 2000, an international programming committee comprised of >>professionals working in art, culture and research will select the projects >>chosen to be part of ISEA2000. These works will concern the following= > themes : >> >> >>Digital Art >>Dedicated to art history and theory, various schools of thought and their >>relation to new technologies, this part of the symposium will consider >>artistic movements which have preceded and accompanied the emergence of >>information and communication technologies. The goal will be to gain a >>better understanding of how contemporary approaches to digital art have >>developed. We will also examine the ways in which these approaches are uniq= >ue. >> >>Interactivity And Generactivity : Transmitters Of New Forms >>Using interactivity, global networks and computer equipment available >>worldwide, authors and creators of digital works are inventing new means of >>expression which dramatically alter the artist's relation to art and the >>public. The form and the manner in which a work develops are no longer >>solely determined by its creator. With interactive and generative >>processes, a work's form and development may be influenced by the >>reactions of the >>viewer, or those of its environment, and/or by a programmed autonomy. >> >>Real time and outside interventions are thus two elements of the creative >>process. How do these factors modify representation, speech, narrative and >>expression? >> >>New Arenas Of Revelation >>In comparison to certain powerful cultural industries, digital creation >>presents itself as being a laboratory of free expression which entirely >>modifies our relation to time, space, information, communication and art. >>Virtual realities and communication networks are increasingly becoming >>indispensable elements of our daily environment. Can this new arena of >>representation be considered a new space for revelation, and if so, for the >>emergence of which emotions and meanings? >> >>The Internet foreshadows the interconnection of a multitude of virtual >>spaces for exchange and expression populated by nomadic communities. >>International, interdisciplinary and multicultural, digital space abolishes >>borders and is part of a massive social and cultural transformation. It is >>defining new codes of representation which are unique to cyberspace and >>which call for analysis and questioning. >> >>The transformation of creative tools resulting from the convergence of >>digital techniques allows for means of expression previously unheard of, as >>well as new relationships between different artistic disciplines : video >>and film, fine arts, theatre, sound, writing, design, fashion, architecture= >=2E >> >>New artistic forms emerge from these encounters. What are their >>consequences? How will they affect the creative process? >> >>All proposals must be related to these mentioned themes. >> >>INFORMATIONS ON SUBMISSIONS >> >>THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM >> >>1-PAPERS >>Papers can be short (20 minutes) or long (45 minutes). The papers will be >>published in the ISEA2000 Proceedings after the event. All papers must be >>written in English and / or French. They must be original and previously >>unpublished. >> >>An abstract of 500 words maximum is required for the first deadline, April >>15, 2000 . After a preselection, the authors will be requested to send >>their full dossier, including illustrations, videos, or other materials. >> >>2- PANELS >>Panel proposals should contain the theme of the panel and a description of >>the proposed panel members. >> >>3- POSTER SESSIONS >>Poster sessions are informal presentations (about 30 minutes) of research >>or art practice, with the aid of audiovisual equipment. Proposals should >>include a short description of the work, with supporting visual or audio >>materials (pictures, videotape, cdrom, website, etc.). >> >>4- WORKSHOPS >>Workshops are thematic discussions open to the public. Workshop proposals >>should aim at both teachers and students in the field of the electronic >>arts (including music) and at Symposium participants. Proposals can cover >>any field of electronic art. Workshop proposals that aim at integrating >>electronic art in more traditional art forms are especially welcome. >>Workshops typically include hands-on sessions. Proposals can be for a half >>day session or a full day session. Workshop proposals must be sent in a >>short and precise text presentation form. Since available equipment at this >>stage is limited, it is important to indicate the equipment requirements as >>completely as possible in the proposal. >> >>5-INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATIONS >>Institutional presentations are open to institutes, organizations, >>festivals etc. in the field of the electronic arts. In principle, all >>relevant proposals should be accepted, but it must be noted that presenters >>in this category do not receive free admission to the Symposium. >> >> >>ASSOCIATED PUBLIC EVENTS >> >>6-CONCERTS, PERFORMANCES AND STREET SCENES >>Concerts and performances will be programmed as part of the event. >>Individuals and institutes are invited to submit the best and most recent >>examples of their work in these fields. The street represents an ideal >>space for presenting new media creations to the general public. Artists >>invest the public space with a critical view of urban communication, >>architecture and social debate. Proposals which relate to the above >>mentioned topics and adapted to an outdoor exhibition are especially >>encouraged. >> >>7-ISEA2000 REVELATION EXHIBITIONS >>All forms of new media creations (interactive installations, Websites, >>videotapes, virtual reality works, multimedia, networks, computer aided >>sculpture, digital imagery, etc.) keeping with the proposed themes are >>welcome for ISEA2000's exhibitions. Proposals should clearly describe the >>contents of the materials submitted, the installation requirements >>(including hard and software, audiovisual equipment, necessary assistance, >>etc.) and include audio and/or visual material (pictures, tapes, etc.) to >>give an overview of the work. >> >> >>8-ELECTRONIC THEATER >>A film and video show will be held during ISEA2000. Individuals and >>institutes are invited to submit the best and most recent examples of their >>work in the fields of computer animation, image processing and video art. A >>broad selection will be shown at the exhibition site. >> >> >>GENERAL SUBMISSION INFORMATIONS >>It is important to include with each proposal : >>- a complete list of required equipment, >>- a description of how the projects will be financed and produced. >> >>In order to facilitate the selection submissions, ART 3000 will set up a >>database of the proposals. For this reason it is strongly recommended that >>submissions include an html/Web presentation of each proposal ( one page >>maximum) which will be availabe for consultation on the ART3000 Website >>(www.art3000.com). >> >>Submitters who believe that a broader understanding of the context of their >>work is important for review may include additional supporting materials, >>such as a statement describing their access to technology or documentation >>of other work which is not intended for current consideration.

Much of >>this work is >> strongly inspired by forms of natural social intelligence >>characteristic of >> humans. This symposium will address recent technological, >>methodological >> and theoretical developments in the field of Socially >>Intelligent Agents >> (SIA's), as well as discuss social and cultural issues, and >>limitations and >> problems of Socially Intelligent Agents. A focus will be the >>issue of the >> 'human-in-the-loop'. >> >> Both agents and humans can have different roles during agent-human >> interaction, e.g. as designers, users, observers, assistants, >> collaborators, competitors, customers, or friends. The symposium will >> concentrate primarily on socially intelligent agents that are either >> directly interacting with humans, showing aspects of human-style >> intelligence, supporting interaction among humans and/or modelling >> explicitly aspects of human social intelligence. The >>symposium will focus >> on four Key Themes for which considerations of the >>'human-in-the-loop' are >> crucial. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged. >> >> The symposium will comprise keynote talks, panel discussions >>and individual >> paper presentations, addressing one or several of the >>following Key Themes: >> >> 1) Connecting to SIA's: architectures and design spaces for SIA's; >> innovative user-interfaces, novel environments and new >>methodologies for >> software and robotic agents interacting and collaborating >>with humans and >> facilitating communication and collaboration between humans; >>hot approaches >> (emotional, empathic aspects) and cold approaches (intention and plan >> ascription, reasoning etc.); synchronisation in human-agent >>dialogue; the >> role of embodiment in human-agent interaction; exploiting >> anthropomorphism; believability and degrees of agent complexity >> >> 2) Learning and playing with SIA's: new applications of social agent >> technology in rehabilitation and education; SIA's as >>instructors, guides, >> teachers, assistants and friends; SIA's which support human >>creativity and >> imagination; SIA's in living environments (e.g. at school, at home, at >> work, on holiday, at meeting points) >> >> 3) Living with SIA's: social agent technology which influences >> attitudes/opinions/behaviour; issues of 'social relationships' between >> human and agent e.g. helping, competition and cooperation, autonomy and >> control, predictability, deception, manipulation, initiative, >>delegation, >> responsibility, conflicts >> >> 4) Growing up and evolving with SIA's: social agent technology which >> empowers humans, addressing the cognitive and emotional needs >>of humans; >> impact of SIA's on human society and culture; agents adapting to and >> supporting cultural diversity; ethical considerations >> >> Submission Information (Deadline 29th of March 2000): >> Potential participants are asked to submit a short paper (3 to 5 pages) >> describing their work in this area.
