The third Augmented Human International Conference (AH 2012) Augmented Human Conference – Digital Art Section
Call for artwork submissions ***************************************************************** Megève, France, March 8th - 9th, 2012 http://www.augmented-human.com ***************************************************************** The third Augmented Human (AH) International Conference will be held in Megève on March 8th and 9th 2012 after being in Tokyo last year. The AH international conference focuses on scientific contributions towards augmenting humans capabilities through technology for increased well-being and enjoyable human experience. The “Digital Art Section” category at AH2012 is dedicated to digital works in all forms and formats, from software pieces to network art to installations related to the topic of “augmented human”. The conference is looking for works that exemplify the unique contribution of digital media to the human experience and demonstrate the exciting perspectives that result from the reality of an augmented human existence. Contributions should already be in an advanced stage so that they can be realized at least partially in an exhibition space. Consequently, works in a purely conceptual state will not be accepted. Artists wishing to submit such concepts should consider a submission as a paper in the main conference section. Since the conference venue is an upper-class ski resort with many art fans, a special Augmented Human and Art (AHA) exhibition session open to the public will be organized on March 10th and 11th if enough demonstrations and art materials are accepted to the conference. Works accepted to the exhibition may be put on sale during the exhibition session. Participation is open to individuals, groups, institutions, companies etc. Exclusively commercially oriented activities in the sense of product advertisement are excluded. Submission Details There is a special demonstration/art material paper format: each work has to be entered in the form of a paper (2 pages maximum) formatted according to the ACM format and that may contain a link to video or a website. It must include the name of the proposal, an artist statement, a resume of the artist(s) involved, and a description of the intended work. Additionally, the documentation should explain the essentials of how the work functions (space requirements, materials, form of interaction, role of the participants, interaction flow, mode of display, etc.) This information is essential and no works will be accepted without this information. Additional material (sketches, photos, etc.) may be included with all entered works. Please use the easychair system for submissions and tick the category Augmented and Digital Art.
