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"
