Subject: Call for Contributors: 'share' and other M/C issues in 2003
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 13 January 2002
M/C - Media and Culture
is calling for contributors to the 2003 issues of
M/C Journal
http://www.media-culture.org.au/
The award-winning M/C Journal is looking for new contributors. M/C is a
crossover journal between the popular and the academic, and a blind- and
peer-reviewed journal.
To see what M/C Journal is all about, check out our Website, which contains
all the issues released so far, at <http://www.media-culture.org.au/>. To
find out how and in what format to contribute your work, visit
<http://www.media-culture.org.au/submission.html>.
Below, you'll find the issue topics we're planning for 2003, along with the
article submission and issue release deadlines, and a call for contributors
for the second issue of the year, 'share'. Please check the M/C Journal
site for further calls and topic descriptions coming soon.
Please spread this call far and wide, and remember to archive it for future
reference...
Call for Papers: 'share'
As we move into the information age, the network society, some see us also
as turning into a culture of collectors, a society of sharers. Electronic
information, especially once it is networked, is easy to copy, simple to
share, and seems to invite collaborative engagement; this leads to the
emergence of filesharing services and open source software development.
Financially, ever more people are hoping to share in the commercial
successes of the listed companies whose stocks they own, but all too often
find themselves sharing predominantly their losses.
On a wider and more fundamental level, offline, public, physical resources
also need to be shared more effectively: as we exploit our reserves of
natural fuels and foods more rapidly than we can replenish them, we attempt
to find ways to achieve sustainability. And on the sociopolitical level,
too, moves are underway to share the load of governance, administration,
and jurisdiction through shared transnational organisations ranging from
the UN to the International Court of Justice.
What is also becoming obvious, however, is that some are better at
sharing than others. Along with the invitation to share more effectively
comes the reflex to hold on to one's own property even more stubbornly.
Whole industries are now devoted to the development of patents for
inventions that are yet to be made, in order to extract immense fees from
anyone wanting to share these ideas; countries like Australia and the US
have atrocious records when it comes to fairly sharing and responsibly
sustaining the world's natural resources; and in the networked
environment, intellectual property has now assumed almost mythical status -
central to one's success, but difficult to grasp, and almost impossible to
protect. Is sharing the answer or the problem: does it open new
possibilities for a better, fairer future, or does it destroy existing
structures to leave nothing but an uncontrollable mess?
We invite you to share with us your thoughts on these and other issues
connected to the topic, in the 'share' issue of M/C Journal. Please send us
your articles (of up to 1500 words) by 3 March 2003.

the call for applications is extended til February 15, 2003. Selection results
will be published on the festival web site presumably in the end of March 2003.
All applying artists will also be notified about the decision concerning their
application personally.
Break 2.2 Festival, which will take place in Ljubljana (Slovenia) from June 17
til 28, includes the following categories: visual arts (comics, graphic prints,

Subject: runme.org software art repository
Runme.org
Software Art Repository
is now open for upload / download
http://runme.org
****************************************
About:
Runme.org is a software art repository. It is an open, moderated database to which people
are welcome to submit projects they consider to be interesting examples of software art.
Software art is an intersection of two almost non-overlapping realms: software and art. It has a
different meaning and aura in each. Software art gets its lifeblood and its techniques from living
software culture and represents approaches and strategies similar to those used in the art world.
Software culture lives on the Internet and is often presented through special sites called
software repositories. Art is traditionally presented in festivals and exhibitions.
The aim of Runme.org is to create an exchange interface for artists and programmers which will
work towards a contextualization of this new form of cultural activity. Runme.org welcomes
projects regardless of the date and context of their creation. The repository is happy to host
different kinds of projects - ranging from found, anonymous software art to famous projects by
established artists and programmers.
Runme.org and Read_me:
In winter/spring 2003 Runme.org will serve as the submission form and database for the second
edition of the Read_me festival. Read_me 2.3 (http://m-cult.org/read_me) will be held
in May 30-31, 2003 in Helsinki, presenting best software art projects submitted to Runme.org
up until the festival deadline, 1 of March.
However, after this date Runme.org will continue to function as a software art repository.
Welcome!

Runme.org is supported by NIFCA, The Nordic Institute for Contemporary

+ A Creative Response Initiative
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Call to Artists, Cultural Workers, Activists and Academics
Deadline: February 15, 2003 (postmark)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEGOTIATIONS is a multidisciplinary cultural event to be held in
Toronto, Canada, between June and July 2003. We aim to create
alternative public spaces where we can consider shared entitlement
and common responsibility for co-existence between Palestinians and
Israeli Jews. We are currently seeking collaborative projects for an
exhibition (may include websites), film/video screenings, literary
readings, performances, public art and creative workshops.
The ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine constitutes a
particularly dramatic example of the complex legacies of colonialism
and the two World Wars. Beyond its tragic impact on the daily lives
of Palestinians and Israelis in the region and in diaspora around the
world, this conflict raises questions of global ethical significance
pertaining to indigenous people¹s right to land, human dignity and
self-determination.
We invite artists of all disciplines, cultural workers, academics and
activists to tackle these issues in new and creative ways. Inspired
by Palestinian and Israeli peace activists, we recognize that genuine
peace negotiations demand co-labouring across divides in order to
reach an understanding and an agreement for a common good. Such
negotiations can only be formulated on an ethical ground where the
multiplicity of voices and the right to co-exist are acknowledged,
and where the desire to collaborate translates into action.
NEGOTIATIONS calls for projects that actualize these meanings through
processes of creative collaboration and shared authorship. We ask
that projects be either new or created after the start of the Second
Intifada (2000).
Please note below for a set of questions that will help to expand on
these ideas.
We are interested in submissions that conceive of collaboration in
relationship to other artists, activists or academics, to specific
communities with vested interest in the issues, and to audiences in
general. We encourage trans-disciplinary, trans-cultural and
trans-border collaborations, so we are open to projects that
challenge and expand the notions we currently hold about the format
and spaces of our event. We welcome projects that involve the youth
as creators, participants and/or audience.
+ PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS +
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposals must include:
- completed submission form (please download from website);
- project description (300-500 words max, include project title
and applicant(s) name, in 6 copies);
- CV(s) (max 3 pages, 1 copy only);
- support material (1 copy only, note below for more info);
- a self-addressed stamped envelope, if return of support
material is required.
Please mail your proposal by February 15 (postmark) to:

+ FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS +
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projects can respond to, but are not limited by, the following considerations:
1) How can artistic interventions in the public space help circulate
practices of peacemaking capable of confronting the material and
psychic dynamics of colonialism that sustain the historical and
current continuance of war, dispossession, repression and exclusion
in the region?
2) How can individuals and groups move towards a substantial mutual
recognition of histories of oppression while breaking present
repetitive patterns of violence?
3) How can religious and cultural differences serve as a forum for
conversation and respect rather than as a barrier to community
building?
4) How can we foreground the relationship between land and identity
as shared entitlement rather than as exclusive property?
5) How can artistic responses explore the intertwined and complex
relationship between imperialism, diaspora and dispossession in the
Israel-Palestine conflict?
6) How can Canada¹s diverse communities contribute towards building
the right conditions for peace? What specific role can diasporic
communities from the Middle East play in this effort? And, how can
the arts and artists facilitate this public process?
7) How can we tackle forms of censorship and uneven representation
in media and politics that hinder open dialogue? How can we
practice responsible politics of solidarity?

MASTERS IN CHOREOGRAPHY/ NEW MEDIA IN AMSTERDAM
****************************************************************************
Established in 2002, the Amsterdam Masters is a unique two year program
aimed at the facilitation of high quality research into the relationship
between choreography, performance, and new media/ emerging technologies.
The program combines traditional and innovative approaches including taught
courses, individual study, peer-to-peer contexts for discussion and debate,
reflexive documentation and practice/ studio based research.
****************************
****************************
The program's emphasis is to develop strong and sophisticated choreographic
work, extending and testing the boundaries of choreographic practice,
application and thought; at the same time to engage in theoretical/
critical discourse and a practical overview of relevant current and
emerging technologies. Subsequently, students will develop their own
research examining the relationships between these; involving varying
degrees of collaboration and the making of work in a variety of new media
contexts.
With cultural organisations such as STEIM, Waag Society, Montevideo and V2;
the Netherlands has one of the most active new media/ emerging technology
arts scenes in Europe. The Amsterdam Masters aims to facilitate and
coordinate interaction and collaboration within this context as well as abroad.
****************************
****************************
The Amsterdam Masters in Choreography is part of Dance Unlimited; a
collaboration with the Dance Academies of Rotterdam and Arnhem that offers
students the opportunity to follow modules in each of these three places.
The Amsterdam Masters accepts only four new students per year which means
that access to facilities and staff is optimal.
The program is ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS NOW for September 2003.
Core staff: Jeroen Fabius; Susan Rethorst; Scott deLahunta; Sher Doruff

===============================================================
Vol. 54: Nostalgia for the Class Society?
by Ozaki Tetsuya
At the end of last year I went to see Robert Altman's "Gosford Park."
As Oh Shomei pointed out in his article on our Cinema Picks page,
it's a brilliant movie stuffed with rogues. The film is set in the
England of the early 1930s, where an aristocrat and his subordinates
gather at a country house. Due to the numerous characters and the
complicated relations among them one first doesn't comprehend what's
going on, but by the middle of the film every viewer will have got
the intricate story. Then, suddenly, a murder provides another riddle
to solve. After "A Wedding" and "Pret-a-Porter," the maestro has come
up with another pleasant work.

Danshi wa damattenasai yo!: Danshi wa damattenasai yo! 2
This unit's name, translated "Boys Shut Up!," is indeed a stupid
but effective one. Playwright and director Hosokawa Toru is a
young theatre wizard who has been working also on the "Atarashii
tan'i" TV program introducing serious suggestions for totally
useless new units of measurement. Again, as an actor the staggering
pale dude is irresistible. Following part one that potrayed half
the life of Toru, the second volume of "Danshi..." is dedicated to
"Toru's New Year." Not only for boys but especially for all theatre
lovers in their 30s it's in fact difficult to be quiet once the
show begins! Appearing on stage this time is also illustrator
Sotome Keiko.

Subject: What is to be Done? Invitation to contribute to project in Lenin Museum Finland
From: "Susan Kelly" <hsp01sk@gold.ac.uk>
We are writing to invite you to participate in a forthcoming exhibition at
the Lenin Museum in Tampere, Finland. 'What is to be Done? Questions for
the 21st Century' appeals for your response to Lenin?s original question
"what is to be done?" posed in 1902. Your response, along with those of
others drawn from a local, national and international public, will be
documented, archived and displayed in the exhibition.
Lenin's ideas about revolutionary change, the relationship between local
movements and universal social struggles, as well as his predictions about
late capitalism and imperialism seem surprisingly relevant today. What is
to be Done? Questions for the 21st Century encourages you to write down
any thoughts you might have about possible social change today. Your
response can be something short, a slogan, an idea or a reference to a
specific situation you feel is important. Under late capitalism?s all
encompassing reach, it is our very freedom to think that is being eroded.
In the spirit of Lenin?s thought, we repeat the question ?what is to be
done? as a sincere appeal for your ideas and thoughts on our future.
The Lenin museum opened in January 1946 in the Tampere Workers' Hall where
Lenin had pledged to further the cause of Finnish independence. In the same
building, Lenin and Stalin met for the first time in 1905. The museum
preserves, exhibits and researches the objects, documents and symbols of
the Soviet era and has developed into a widely acclaimed institute of
culture and research. The downfall of the Soviet Union has left the museum
the last regularly operating museum of its kind in the whole world.
In the following e-mail there will be a series of short statements and
questions that we now ask you to respond to. We request that you e-mail
your response, which we will then transfer to a time card format for the
exhibition. All responses will be gathered together, translated in Finnish
and Russian, documented and presented as an archive at the Lenin Museum in
February 2003. With your permission, multiple copies of your response will
be made so that visitors to the museum can take some ideas away. A selected
number of responses will also be reproduced in a book publication later on
in 2003. Please indicate in your e-mail if you are willing to let us
reproduce your text. We need to have all of our responses in by Christmas
2002 or mid-January at the very latest, so that we have time to translate
everything!
This question is asked of individuals and groups in Tampere and broader
national and international constituencies in Finland, Russia, the US and
elsewhere. The questions also currently appear in several international art
journals with perforated response cards. Please feel free to pass on the
questions to any interested friends or colleagues. We would like to harness
the energies of those who think about change today and put them into
dialogue in this important public space.
Thank you for your time and participation!
Yours sincerely,
Susan Kelly and Stephen Morton
*****************************************************
What is to be done?
Questions for the 21st Century
Lenin's description of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism now
seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. After the collapse of the Soviet
bloc the total spread of unregulated global capitalism is seen as
inevitable. With this spread, a third of the world?s population lives on
less than $2 a day and the poorest countries in the world owe a $422
billion debt that can never be paid. Yet, events in Seattle, Genoa and
elsewhere show that global capitalism can be resisted. Do you think that
Lenin?s ideas are of any use today? What are the burning social and
political questions of our time?
****************
When Lenin wrote What is to be Done? in 1902, he mainly wanted to
distinguish between radical revolutionary politics and the reformists who
just wanted to patch things up. Lenin was intolerant of questions that
failed to really challenge the dominant political order. How can we provoke
significant change today and do you think any real shift can really happen
under our present system?
*****************
The Lenin Museum in Tampere is the site of Lenin and Stalin's first
meeting. Lenin's ideas are often seen as leading inevitably to Stalinism
and the terror of the Soviet Empire. This has been called the Leninist
Tragedy. At the scene of their meeting, is it possible to rescue some of
Lenin's ideas from this fate? How can we prevent social change from turning
into a situation where the same structures of power are re-established with
different players at the top?
*****************
In Tampere, 1906 Lenin made a pledge to honour the Finnish right to
self-determination after the Bolshevik Revolution. Lenin believed that
Marx's revolutionary ideas had to be adapted to the local and national
conditions of workers rather than being imposed from above. In Lenin?s
time, this mobilisation of worker's movements was the most effective way of
achieving international solidarity. The phrase 'workers of the world unite'
may now seem like an impossible ideal since late capitalism has crushed
union power and pitted the workers of the world against one another.
Despite this gloomy picture, from where you stand right now, what are the
possibilities for social change today?
****************
In short, what is to be done?

Katerina Karoussos of the Hellenic Centre for Fine Arts asks on Spectre =
mailing list:=20
"Is there any project concerning ''Berluscomania'' ?
My name is Katerina Karoussos and I am speaking as a director of the =
Hellenic Center of Fine Arts.
I think that I had received some e-mail infos about it but I am not =
sure.
Can you tell me if there is, what is the structure of it?
Best
Katerina Karoussos"
We answer:
Dear Karoussos
Yes, there is.
Definitely there is.
ART PROJECT!!
"BERLUSCONIMANIA" is to be considered an "Art Project" that involves us =
on several levels.
"BERLUSCONIMANIA" regards a political figure that cannot be criticized =
by standard political or social criteria.
The political figure involved has an intriguing, polysemantic nature =
that escapes activist thought and tools.
We think he can only be described by the transversal mutant thought of =
modern Art.
DADA MANIFESTO!
Therefore we decided to define him as an "Obj=E9t Trouv=E9" in the =
Dadaist meaning (mostly referring to Duchamp of course) .
TRUTH!!
For instance his continuous declaring and rejecting the same political =
point of view on next Iraq war cannot but beeing read as one of the =
famous lines of "DADA MANIFESTO" (1918):=20
"Extreme truth does not exist. Dialectic is an amusing mechanism that =
takes us/in a banal way/ towards opinions that we would have had anyway. =
Do we really believe that through the scrupulous refinement of logic =
we have demonstrated truth and established once for all the exactitude =
of our own opinions?"
CADAVRE EXQUIS!!!
And/Or sometimes (and more deeply, in more subtle way) as a "Cadavre =
Exquis" in the Surrealist tradiction.=20
A recent fact happened in nothern italian city, Trento where a member of =
his governement proposed different wagons for italians and foreign =
immigrants on the very frequented train line coming from south italy.
Here we may only triumphantly underline the obvious quotation from a =
basic surrealist concept:
surrealism is born from evidence of contrast. The famous phrase: =
"Surrealism is the meeting of an umbrella and a typewriting machine on a =

Titre: PassDoc (à travers les temps), œuvres de Domenico Olivero.
Derrière la série rencontre avenez in divers site, (25-29/04/02 a
Barcellona, 25-28/07/02 Berlin, 10-13/10/02 Ciudad de Mexico) debut la
construction de le site web. Ca site-web vien creé avec differente
sollecitation dan le precedente rencontrés, avec plu de 350 personne.
Action visive e dinamic, exiger, different tecnique e vision… visite-vous, e
donee votre contribuite et osservation. Il progetto durerà tutto l’anno
2003. et il va a changer ça forme chaque 15 jours.
PassDoc est un site artistique, une oeuvre multimédia en perpétuelle
mutation (work in progress), comme peut l'être un homme ou une ville qui va
a changer lentement, grandir et se ramifier. Il a été créé, et aura la durée
d'un anée , par l'artiste Domenico Olivero et se transforme avec
l'intégration de nouveaux travaux. Son nom signifie passage e documentation,
c'est un labyrinthe fantastique constitué de different forme de déplacement,
soit virtuel que réel..
Réflexion:
C'est toujous plus difficile, ma peut etre impossible, trouver des oeuvres
qui rappresentent la realité, dans une forme claire et univoque.
Oeuvres artistiques qui donnent substance estétique au monde qui nous
environne, pour décrire l'univers .
La tradition n'est plus capable de mener à bonne fin les valeurs presque
détaché de son contexte logique et historique, tout est nouveau, indépendant
ou tellement enchainé (con l'accento circonflesso sulla i) et on ne peut
plus dévisér l'écheveau des origines.
Aujourd'hui n'existent plus le vérités totales, ou elles resultent
inaccessibles et donc ne peut pas exister une oeuvre abosolue qui cherche de
décrir le temps de naissance.
Aujourd'hui n'existe pas une forme unique mais plusieures parties. La
totalité vient au monde après une segmentation. La vision fausse globale
révèle l'approchement d'une fragmentation. peut etre les parties
individuelles qui sont les plus significatives de la totalité.
Chaque nouvelle création est une forme qui necessite d'absorber et grandir,
instable, réflexive , qui veut etre cette oeuvre qui dans sa présence sur le
web est à meme d'exprimer au mieux une modernité qui sera toujours plus
incompréhensible et indéfinissable.

Title: PassDoc (across/Through the time), Works of Domenico Olivero.
After the series of meetings performed in the different centers (25-29/04/02
Barcelona, 25-28/07/02 Berlin, 14-17/11/02 Ciudad de Mexico) I begin the
development of the website. This virtual space was created following a
series of proposals from the former meetings, with more than 350 persons.
Visual action and dynamics, that exploit different techniques and shapes…
visit us and give your contribution. The project will last the whole year
2003. Every fortnight the site will change the thematic and shapes.
PassDoc is an artistic site, a multimedial work in continuous mutation (work
in progress), as a living being or a city, that slowly grows and develops.
It is a creation, and it will last for a whole year. It will be transformed
with the integration of new works by the artist Domenico Olivero. Its name
means passage and documentation, it is a fantastic labyrinth constituted by
different shapes and spaces, both virtual and real.
Reflection:
It is always more difficult, but perhaps impossible, to find the works that
represent the reality, in a clear and univocal way.
That can give aesthetic substance to the world around us, to describe the
universe where we live.
The tradition does not get forward a new meaning of today’s life, everything
is new, independent or so much concatenated that it is impossible to
understand its origin.
Today there are not total truths but different ones. The totality is born
from its segmentation. The false global vision reveals itself, when you come
near to it as …., fragment, probably the single parts are more significant
than the totality.
Every new creation is a form that needs to absorb and grow, fluid,
reflexive, and so wants to be this new art-web project, expressing as good
as possible the modernity always more difficult to be understood and without
a definition.

Titolo: PassDoC (attraverso il tempo), Opera di Domenico Olivero
Dopo la serie d’incontri realizzati in differenti sedi (25-29/04/02 a
Barcelona, 25-28/07/02 Berlin, 14-17/11/02 Ciudad de Mexico) inizia la
costruzione del sito web. Questo spazio virtuale nasce seguendo una serie di
proposte nate dai precedenti incontri, con più di 350 persone. Azione visiva
e dinamica, che sfrutta diverse tecniche e forme… visitatelo e donate un
vostro contributo. Il progetto durerà tutto l’anno 2003. Ogni 15 giorni per
tutto l’anno il sito muterà tematiche, forme.
PassDoc è un sito artistico, un’opera multimediale in continua mutazione
(work in progress), come un essere vivente o una città, che lentamente
cresce e si sviluppa. E’ stato creato dall’artista Domenico Olivero e si
trasformerà con l’integrazione di nuovi lavori. Il suo nome significa
passaggio e documentazione, come un labirinto fantastico costituito da
differenti forme e spazi sia virtuali che reali.
Riflessione:
Sempre più difficile, ma forse impossibile, trovare delle opere che
rappresentino la realtà, in forma chiara ed univoca.
Opere artistiche che diano sostanza estetica al mondo che ci circonda, per
descrivere l’universo in cui viviamo.
La tradizione non riesce più a portare avanti significati oramai slegati da
un contesto logico e storico, tutto è nuovo, indipendente o talmente
concatenato che non si riesce a dipanarne la matassa delle origini.
Oggi non esistono più verità totali, o risultano irraggiungibili, e quindi
non può esistere un’opera assoluta che cerchi di descrivere il tempo in cui
nasce.
Oggi non esiste una forma unica ma tante parti. La totalità nasce dalla sua
segmentazione. La falsa visione globale rivela all’avvicinarsi una
frammentazione, forse le singole parti sono più significative della
totalità.
Ogni nuova creazione è forma che necessita di assorbire e crescere,
instabile, riflessiva, così vuole essere quest’opera che nella sua presenza
sul web riesce ad esprimere al meglio una modernità sempre più
incomprensibile e indefinibile.

CONFERENCE SCOPE
====================
As in previous years, this third annual COSIGN conference provides an
exciting cross-disciplinary event for exploring the ways in which
meaning can be created by, encoded in, understood by, or produced
through, the computer (using systems or techniques based upon
semiotics). COSIGN is for anyone with an interest in areas of overlap
(or potential overlap) between semiotics and computers including
computer scientists, HCI and AI practitioners, digital artists,
designers, critics, theorists, semioticians, narratologists, etc. In
addition to the academic papers and artwork presentations, COSIGN will
include a range of participatory events such as papers, workshops,
tutorials, panel discussions to provide the space for the vital and
vibrant discussions that it is know for.
COSIGN 2003 invites submissions in the following categories. A brief
outline of the submission procedure is given below.
1. Academic Papers
2. Artworks
3. Posters
4. Technical Demonstrations
Media that make use of the unique capabilities of digital systems are
of particular interest to this conference. These include, but are not
limited to, the following: virtual reality systems and virtual
environments; hypertext, hypermedia, multimedia and the internet;
content analysis systems (particularly those that extract higher-level
meaning); the semantic web (and similar systems); digital art, net art
and other technology-based or technology-oriented art forms; computer
games, interactive narratives and other forms of interactive
entertainment.
Information about the conference are available at the following web
address: http://www-scm.tees.ac.uk/users/p.c.fencott/cosign2003
The programme and proceedings of COSIGN 2001 and COSIGN 2002 are
available online at the following web address. Please note, however,
that the proceedings of COSIGN 2003 will only be made available online
to conference attendees.
http://www.kinonet.com/conferences/cosign2002/program.html
CONFERENCE LOCATION
======================
COSIGN 2003 will be held in Middlesbrough, UK, hosted by the Virtual
Environments Group of the School of Computing and Mathematics at the
University of Teesside. Middlesbrough sits near the mouth of the River
Tees in the north-east of England. It is a lively town with a proud
industrial heritage and one of the main shopping and leisure centers
for the area. It is also an important location for business and
commerce, communications and civic administration. In the Tees valley
heavy industry mingles with wetlands and wildfowl reserves while just
a few minutes drive away are the North York Moors National Park and
the dramatic North Sea coast.
Teesside International Airport is less than 20 kilometers from
Middlesbrough and has several direct connections every day to both
London (Heathrow) and Amsterdam (Schipol) which are major European
hubs for international flights.
Further information is available at the following web address:
http://www-scm.tees.ac.uk/users/p.c.fencott/cosign2003/
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
====================
Authors of accepted papers will be required to prepare a written
version of their paper for inclusion in the printed and online
proceedings. Attendance at the conference is dependent on authors
providing this written version of their paper by the required date and
in the required format.
Acceptance is also dependent on at least one of the authors
registering for the conference by 13th of June 2003. As in previous
years, COSIGN will endeavour to support as much as possible the
registration fees and/or accommodation of those presenters who are not
funded by an institution or organisation.
1. ACADEMIC PAPERS
Papers are invited on any subject that explores areas of overlap (or
potential overlap) between semiotics and interactive digital
media. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- - The use of semiotics in artificial intelligence and expert systems.
- - Software architectures and technologies using, based upon or inspired
by semiotic theories, systems or models.
- - The use of semiotics in the creation of generative narrative systems,
interactive digital games, entertainment and artworks.
- - The use of semiotics in the study and criticism of digital interactive
media.
- - Narratology in games and new media.
- - Semiotic-orientated HCI.
- - Semiotics and Hypermedia.
Papers should demonstrate an understanding of - and engagement with
the principles of semiotics (understood here as the study of signs)
and gain something from this engagement.
Further details of the submission process (and templates for papers)
are available at
http://www-scm.tees.ac.uk/users/p.c.fencott/cosign2003/
