Deadline extended until March 18th! CALL FOR ENTRIES | Public space_s
*Extended deadline for submissions: 18 March 2015
The International Festival of Digital Arts in Greece invites you to submit
proposals for its next edition taking place in late spring in Athens. Deadline
for submissions is 4 March 2015.
In our times, the notion of public space appears to be one of the most
contradictory concepts. With the rise of network and communication
technologies, our experience of public space has changed. Public space is not
only characterised by physical space and architecture but also by networks and
knowledge distribution.
While public space is mainly being interpreted through urban planning, digital
public space is organised through IP locations, URLs and protocols. Their
cartographies, as distinct as they may seem, are both informed by network
dynamics that add new layers of interpretation. Squares, parks, streets and the
Internet are all potential public spaces that are activated through
participation and engagement in order to acquire meaning.
The multiple interconnected spaces within which we act have redefined and
affected our perception of everyday life as well as our social and cultural
imaginaries. On the other hand, real-time data circulation and information
exchange have created new patterns of communication allowing communities to
surpass their localities and explore new modes of engagement and collaboration.
However, inhabiting at the same time a plethora of spaces that are potentially
public the question that arises is: how open and free are these spaces? Have
the visions regarding open access to public space and eventually public data
been fulfilled?
Through this call, the festival invites proposals to explore the notion of
“public” both in the digital and physical space.
