“Inter-passive Persona” - call for interactive installations and for
art/game works
http://www.a-m-b-e-r.net/
amber’08, the largest international event in Arts and New Technologies
in Turkey, will take place in between 7-16 November 2008 in Istanbul
with a variety of venues.
amber is an annual festival organized by Body-Process Arts Association
that aims to create, develop and promote a discussion platform, the
researches and the creation in performance arts and technology in
Turkey, by an art form that uses new technologies and the potentials of
the human body.
Interactivity is celebrated and enjoyed for the comfort and convenience
it brings into our lives, and the aesthetic and practical possibilities
it opens up for all creative activity. Efficiency, speed, fluidity, a
frictionless flow of things, precision of form and an infinite
multiplication of virtual possessions in the digital universe come to
mind. Interactive technologies rearticulate our relations to ourselves
and to others.
In today's digitalizing world, we access closed and invisible systems
that operate on a global scale via our network-connected personal
computers. We take on an ever-increasing role in this network of
relations that is itself based on interactive technology. Our bodily
disposition and movement, consciously or unconsciously partakes in
digital interactivity.
Amber'08 will focus on the emerging subjectivity under the reign of the
digital. Through a variety of artistic, technological and philosophical
exhibits, it aims to explore and question our new persona shaped by the
logic and concept of interactivity.
For amber'08 body process arts festival, We are interested in
installations that explore the theme of “Inter-passive Persona” in the
here and now of the digitalizing world. However we remind you not to shy
away from participating if you cannot readily link the festival theme to
your work. We see the festival theme as a tool to think and work with in
our larger collective effort of developing an artistic expression of
technology. You, the artist alone will define what it inspires and allows.
We also encourage outdoor interactive installations all over Istanbul.
The selected artworks among the submissions will be exhibited in amber'08.
This year amber’08 is featuring a new event called “interactive games”
as part of the festival exhibition.
It will feature various game concepts that can be experi¬mented and
played by the audience. This event will be very interesting and
attractive to the young generations and all game lovers. The games that
will be exhibited operate on new interaction concepts that are not based
on the mouse or keyboard. The player literally participates and
interacts in the game by using his voice, body and movement in a variety
of innovative ways.
