CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: NEW FORMS FESTIVAL 2004: TECHNOGRAPHY
<http://www.newformsfestival.com/>

EXTENDED Deadline: May 28th, 2004

The New Forms Festival is an annual event highlighting emerging forms at the
junction of art, culture and technology. It includes performances, panel
discussions, workshops, and interactive exhibits on contemporary Media Arts
issues. The NFF environment encourages new forms of Media Art to be
created, experienced, and understood. NFF04 will be held in Vancouver, BC,
from October 14 to 28, 2004. The theme is TECHNOGRAPHY: the inscription of
culture in technology.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY is a forum to explore and embody these inscriptions in
the form of artistic expression and discourse.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY looks at the ways in which cultures inhabit and
transform media spaces and technologies.

NFF04:TECHNOGRAPHY will bring together practitioners and theorists from
across grassroots, gallery academy and academic contexts and provide a
platform for conversations among the diverse voices of contemporary
digital regionalism.

NFF04: TECHNOGRAPHY programming incorporates the principles found within an
ecological model of the cultural sphere: complexity, variety and balance.
Like nature, culture is also a changing phenomenon, affected by the ways in
which technology inhabits the environment and relates to it.

Projects, presentations and performances
Proposals are invited for four areas of the festival: the Conference, the
Exhibition (digital art, performance, installation, immersive environments,

screenings).
