Deadline Extended for DIS 2004 Exhibits, Boston

Call for exhibition proposals - DIS 2004 Boston
*Extended Submission Deadline: April 20th, 2004

Exhibition Overview

DIS 2004 is keen to further encourage interchange between artists and designers engaged with exploring the boundaries of interactive technologies, through the addition for the first time of an exhibition programme of design and art projects. Accepted submissions will also be eligible for the DIS 2004 Design Awards. If you wish your work to be considered for the design awards please see the Design Awards section of the DIS 2004 website - www.sigchi.org/dis2004

We particularly encourage:

- exhibits relating to industrial/commercial design projects
- interactive performance and installation based work
- site-specific interactive work
- work that 'leaks out' into the surrounding environment/community/context, or that encourages the surrounding environment/community/context to 'leak into' the conference
- web and screen based work
- interactive installations/performances
- work that explores new forms of interaction, or exploits emerging interaction technologies
- work that blurs boundaries between e.g. interaction design and product design, interaction design and architecture, interaction design and fashion, etc.
