[spectre] lea special issue:Creative Data: Visualisation, Augmentation, Telepresence And Immersion call for abstracts
*Creative Data: Visualisation, Augmentation, Telepresence And Immersion* http://leoalmanac.org/cfp/calls.asp#cd Guest Editors: *Jack Ox, Jeremy Hight, and Erik Champion * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial Guidelines: http://leoalmanac.org/cfp/submit/index.asp Discussion Group: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Deadline: *8 July 2007 * ** *Call for papers - LEA Creative Data Special* *--* The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (ISSN No: 1071-4391) is inviting papers and artworks that deal with the emerging practice of data visualization as an immersive experience. Data has long been the property and domain of screen based collection, archiving, processing and interaction. The emergence of new processes, functionality and ways of interacting with information is opening up several new areas of great possibility in which the data allows newfound thematic and engaging forms of immersion, as well as innovative and perception-reshaping interaction. ** *Introduction ---* Consider a simple analogy; to swim in a pool is to understand three dimensionality, interaction, spatial relationships and a macro-micro view, as well as contextual and embodied interaction. Can we swim with data? How do we build, debate and discuss the future and shape of immersivity in its relation to data? Can the representation of data as an immersive environment be considered a creative accomplishment or support creativity in action or as spectacle? How does this change the way we collect and archive information? How does it relate to our ways of interacting with information in study and analysis? How can this enhance or fuse key aspects of image projection, virtual reality, augmented reality, new media and even locative media? We are looking for essays, interviews, reports and other forms of writing that look at spatialization and layering of information, a greater sense of immersion, new forms of visualization and depth of field, precedents, future applications and connotations, our relationship to immersion and information inherently as how this applies to this new area. Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to): case study related analysis, historical context and related precedents, future and new applications of the technology, spatial relationship analysis and analysis of immersive interaction, screen based graphic visualization, project and concepts of augmentation, relationship to augmented reality, virtual reality, locative media and spatial interaction, data visualization, creativity and the drawn line between science and art, applications to spatial interpretation of architecture (from buildings to architecture of data, form, etc.), or new paradigms of the kinesthetic and proprioception applied to multi leveled or layered data and information processing (data/and/or human) in ways that creates or enhances immersivity. There is a nexus point of technology, information, creativity and interaction that connects back to essential concepts of seeing, ordering, interacting and interpreting. This call invites papers that explore the myriad ways this is now possible. *Key topics of interest * *-* *** CREATIVE DATA VISUALISATION: * How can scientific data be streamlined and filtered to immerse the public in an intuitive and explorative yet also educational manner? Or allow them to explore their neighborhood, world or even universe at vastly varying scales and detail without cognitive overload? *** AUGMENTED AND INTERMEDIAL REALITIES: * How can various fields and disciplines and areas of artistic endeavor take advantage of new digital technologies to mediate new spatial experiences and perspectives? *** STREAMED EXPERIENCE, SOCIAL PRESENCE AND TELEPRESENCE:* Which networking and distributed technologies and systems have and can be creatively used to share the thoughts, actions and feelings of artists, scientists, actors and/or participants? Immersive environments are not standing alone today. They are more often part of a network of immersive environments. For instance, the OptiPuter consortium ( http://www.optiputer.net/) has developed and distributed OptiPortals to many of its members. An OptiPortal is an immersive SAGE WALL that is connected to the LambdaRail ( http://www.glif.is/). Huge data sets do not have to be stored at more than one site as it is less expensive to communicate them over optical networking that has a capacity of up to 10Gb per second. *** THEMATIC IMMERSION AND INTERACTION:* How can virtual reality technology and thematic interaction combine to create immersive and engaging digitally mediated experiences? For example, what new types of audience participation, setting, interfaces, interaction devices and metaphors, background story etc can help add to a specific sense of space place or time in order to enhance engagement and a sense of immersion in a virtual environment?

Liebe Freunde der 8KHz Opern-Übertragung
Wir haben der Oper das Telefonieren gelehrt! Opera Calling erweitert das
Zürcher Opernhaus weiterhin um einen zusätzlichen Klangraum. Über Wanzen,
die im Zuschauerraum platziert sind, bekommt die Zürcher Bevölkerung
freien Zugang (frei wie in freie Meinungsäusserung, nicht wie in
Freibier!) zu den Vorstellungen. Dabei werden die Vorstellungen nicht
ausgestrahlt, sondern die ZuhörerInnen angerufen und direkt ins
Opernhaus verbunden.
Was bisher geschah: In den letzten beiden Wochen hat Opera Calling zehn
Opernaufführungen an 1489 Haushalte übertragen. Die Zürcher Oper
behauptet zwei Wanzen gefunden und zerstört zu haben. Mit der Oper in
frenetischer Suche engagiert und einer unbekannten Anzahl Wanzen, die
noch gefunden werden wollen, geht das *Spektakel* weiter...
Die ZuhörerInnen zuhause waren bisher übrigens durchwegs erfreut über die
aussergewöhnliche und unerwartete Möglichkeit am Telefon den Vorstellungen
des Opernhauses zuhören zu können. Die bisherigen Anrufe können während
des Tages in der Installation im Cabaret Voltaire angehört werden. Ein
paar Beispiele finden sich auch online unter:

Dear friends of the 8KHz Opera retransmission
Opera Calling, the intervention into the Zurich Opera, is still up and
running! Through audio-bugs placed within the auditorium of the opera
house, the outside public is given free (as in free speach not free
beer) access to the performances on stage. The performances are
retransmitted to the public not through broadcasting, but by telephoning
each person in Zurich individually.
And since «man was born a spectator» the show will go on.
The story so far: For the last two weeks Opera Calling has retransmitted
ten live performances of the Zurich opera to 1489 households in Zurich.
The Zurich Opera claims to have found and destroyed 2 bugs. With the Opera
in frantical seek and destroy mode and an unknown number of bugs still
to find the *spectacle* continues...
