FWD: CALL: WIRED MADNESS

CALL: WIRED MADNESS

Wired madness has broken out! Regardless of the mode of expression,
this new era of performative art is upon us. This has been revealed
recently in many cases: the use of an embedded persistence of vision
display to flag a taxi, or the nerdy need to extend alternate-reality
games into the real world, or even ironically be more close to the
military's command and control digital networks to be employed on
unsuspecting audiences by trained insurgent-performers using
computational and conceptual couture as a 'secondary skin' in the act
of creating the newest New Media art experiences for them.

The Digital Art Weeks 2007 invites Performing Artists to submit
proposals in connection with wearable technology and the arts. We are
seeking works that empower the performer in an explosion of the
boundaries of the body and link the audience into the virtual of
technologically animated space. Any form of immersion should trigger
critical observation in the mind of the audience in order to counter
act the most logical form of evolution in the 21st century enabled by
technology: Intelligence without morals. A series of performances
during three evenings will be organized in partnership with the
Cabaret Voltaire of Zurich.

Deadline Friday, 2nd March 2007. Notification of acceptance of
proposals will be sent out on or before Friday, 2nd April 2007.
