OPEN Call for Workshop Proposals and Presentations
Tending Networks: the ADA Symposium 2008
The next national Aotearoa Digital Arts symposium, Tending Networks,
will be held in Christchurch over the weekend of February 22-24,
2008. The Symposium is a space for New Zealand art practitioners,
researchers, curators, and audiences to share projects, skills and
ideas relating to digital and media art practices. Non-members, new
members and current members of ADA, and members of the broader
Christchurch arts community are invited to participate. This is a
call for proposals for short presentations and for workshops.
Presentations (5 minutes)
The brief presentations will be an opportunity to share any bite-
sized idea: a particular work, an aspect of your practice, a project
idea, a concept, a research proposal, or anything in five minutes or
less. Presentations can be illustrated with slides, video, audio or
other media. The brief presentation format aims to allow work in
progress can be presented informally, in an open context, without the
requirement of writing an entire paper.
Proposal format: please send a 200 word outline of your proposed
presentation and a 50 word biography to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] by December 12th 2007. Please
include ‘Presentation Proposal’ in the subject line of your email.
Workshops (1.5 – 3 hours)
We are currently seeking leaders for Symposium workshops. Workshops
are a chance to share knowledge and develop skills, to make
something, to open up new fields of inquiry or just learn some fun
new tools. Workshops can take many forms: they can be based around
technologies or ideas, as geeky or ungeeky as you like. Possible
themes might include: circuit bending, social networks, planning &
tactics, hacks & workarounds.
The length of the workshops may vary, but tasks will need to be able
to be realised in under three hours.
Proposal format: please send a 4-500 word outline of your workshop, a
list of technical and material requirements, and the ideal number of
participants to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by December 12th
2007. Please include ‘Workshop Proposal’ in the subject line of your
email.
About the ADA Symposium and Trust
ADA is a network of people who are interested in digital and media
art as practitioners, writers, curators, researchers and audiences.
ADA is a charitable trust that facilitates discussion around themes
related to digital and media art in New Zealand through an email
list, a website, and regular events. The ADA symposium provides an
important opportunity for the distributed network to spend time
together in real space, and to share and develop projects, ideas,
skills, and plans. This is the first ADA Symposium to be held in
Christchurch – previous events have been held in Hamilton, Auckland,
Dunedin, and New Plymouth.
Tending Networks will feature keynote presentations from significant
international digital art practitioners and panel discussions around
‘growing’ social networks, curating, and producing digital media art.
The symposium also features ‘Séance for Nam June Paik’, a screening
event curated by Dan Agnihotri-Clark, and an international exhibition
of network art curated by Adam Hyde and Julian Priest to be held at
the Physics Room. A call for proposals for ‘Séance for Nam June Paik’
will be circulated on the 30th November 2007.
Tending Networks is supported by The Physics Room Contemporary Art
Space, and the ADA Trust.
