About this Call for Proposals
This Call for Proposal is an invitation to artists, designers and technologists to propose workshops under the banner: At the Crossroads. The aim of the workshop program is to present new and interesting crossroads by intersecting technological approaches with unique settings and diverse communities; unveiling insights and interests; and sharing impact and outcomes.
By considering the northern California region of Santa Cruz to Sacramento, we can envision a playground of diverse geo-physical locations encompassing diverse socio-economic regions. Workshop proposals should provide a platform for the recognition and response to these varied environments by situating critical inquiry and experiment in their midst. ISEA2006 workshops will focus on a cross-disciplinary, community interaction approach to arts and technology.
We are especially interested in work that interacts with other technologies or communities in original and unexpected ways.
The proposal should describe:
- the project in relevant detail
- infrastructural and site requirements it will need
- the approximate budget and expected sources of funding
A note about funding: As the premier electronic arts festival in North America in 2006, the ISEA2006/ZeroOne festival provides a unique environment for the presentation of work, but has limited ability to fund new projects.
