Call for New Media Artists and Designers
Technology + Art + Design Exhibition Overview CAM is accepting submissions from new media artists and designers for artwork to be included in a Technology + Art + Design exhibition at the new Contemporary Art Museum (CAM), a museum of art and design in Raleigh, NC. CAM intends to include a broad range of artistic practices and is particularly interested in proposals of site-specific work that fully utilize our space or engage the space in a nontraditional manner. Strong proposals will be clear and concise, will present innovative and engaging ideas, and will intend to draw a diverse group of participants and visitors. Artworks chosen for the exhibition will:+ Use digital technologies such as open source programming software or modified game engines (for example) + Engage our visitors physically as well as intellectually through interactive design or tangible user interfaces + Vary in scale, from room sized projected environments to smaller more intimate objects.
