Call for Participation

Global Eyes, the 2007 ACM SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, is looking for 
innovative and creative digital media art from around the world for 
exhibition in San Diego, California, USA from August 5 - 9, 2007.

We are looking for works that:

* Illuminate the role digital media play in shaping, extending, and 
reflecting world views and cosmologies.
* Address ecological, social, and political issues in imaginative and 
innovative ways.
* Foster respect, tolerance, and empathy among people and nations.

The Art Gallery is considering (but not limited to) the following 
types of work:

* Still images
* Time-based work
* Art installations and environments
* Art sculptures and objects
* Digital communities, including alternative networks, mobile, and 
locative media
* Electronically mediated performances (to be held at Cal-IT2, at the 
University of California, San Diego)
* Interactive art, including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, web-based, and 
responsive media
* Trans-forms: emerging forms at the intersection between computing 
and the sciences, arts, and/or humanities
