[Leonardo/ISAST Network] Call for submissions: Leonardo Art/Science Student Contest

[Leonardo/ISAST]

To the attention of Art/Science/Technology students in Northern California
 
Announcing the first Leonardo Art/Science Student Contest
 
Leonardo/the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology 
(Leonardo/ISAST, www.leonardo.info) is organizing a new digital media 
conference in Berkeley, CA which will take place on June 3, 2008 as part 
of the UC Berkeley Spring New Media Festival. As part of that 
conference, Leonardo would like to invite students to submit projects 
that blend the arts and the sciences.
 
The board of Leonardo/ISAST will select ten significant projects by 
students. Five of them will be exhibited at the closing event of the 
conference. The other five will receive an honorary mention. All ten 
will be given recognition in the journal /Leonardo/.
Projects must have been implemented and demonstrable. Projects that are 
close in spirit to the three panels of the conference (see below) are 
particularly welcome, but other topics are welcome too, and there is no 
restriction on the audio/visual format of the project. The five winning 
students will be responsible for setting up and (if needed) operating 
their installations. Leonardo/ISAST regrets that it will not be able to 
provide for transportation to Berkeley.
 
Submissions can be emailed or mailed to Leonardo/ISAST. Each submission 
should contain a brief abstract (500 words maximum) in Winword, PDF or 
HTML. A CD/DVD or a hyperlink to a website that contains the audio 
and/or video demonstration is very welcome (all major video/audio 
formats are acceptable).
 
Deadline for submission is March 31, 2008.
Winning students will be notified in April.
 
Conference panels:
"Osmosis": What can the arts do for the sciences?"
"Brilliant Noise: how data becomes experience for artists and for 
scientists"
"The New Sensuality: Epistemologies of the Very Very Small"
