Facilities will be made available during >the conference to exhibit 2-D and 3-D examples of design research. >This may take the form of photographs, printouts, drawings, models, >software applications, prototypes or other examples of research >work in progress. An exhibition area will be available during the >conference to display this work. > > >What is Practice Based Research? > >The term 'practice-based' research may require some clarification. >For the purpose of this conference it refers to research that has >involved the development of 2 and 3 dimensional artifacts in response >to research questions. Essentially there is no difference between >this category of research and any other formally constructed >investigation. The work can not speak for its self. A written >commentary is required to contextualise the work and to explain its >significance and origin. The term 'practice based research' has in >some contexts been used to describe professional practice. However >the conference is only prepared to accept examples of practice based >research that has been developed in response to a formal research >enquiry. > >What you have to provide > >If you wish to submit a practice-based 'paper' you should include the >following: > >. A 300-word abstract detailing the research project. This should >include a title, authors, affiliations, and synopsis of the research. > >. Up to six 35mm slides of the work. The slides must be labeled >clearly. You should provide a list of the slides on a separate sheet, >including a caption and short description of the content with overall >dimensions and approximate value for insurance purposes. > >An exhibition space will be established during the conference for the >presentation of practice based papers. This will include a seating >area and projection equipment. The exhibition will remain in place >throughout the conference. Exhibitors/presenters will be allocated a >time for presenting their papers to fellow delegates. Presentations >will take place in the exhibition area along side the exhibited work. > >Details of the exhibition facilities (space, plinths, hanging >system and lighting) will be communicated directly to the presenter >of the work following acceptance of the paper for inclusion in the >conference. Entries in the conference proceedings will include an >illustrated abstract of the paper. Delegates presenting practice >based papers will be responsible for transporting and hanging >their work and removing the exhibits at the end of the conference. >Insurance for the exhibition will be taken out by the conference >organisers to cover accidental damage or theft, for the duration of >the conference only. > >Practice-based proposals should be submitted to Vasco Branco: >vas@ca.ua.pt. > >----------------------------------------------------- > >Jo Charlton >The Research Unit >University of Salford >Centenary Building >Peru Street >Salford M3 6EQ >UK > >tel: + 44 (0) 161 295 6148 >fax: + 44 (0) 161 295 6174 >email: J.Charlton@salford.ac.uk ------------------------------------- Tudo vale a pena se a alma nao e pequena. http://fcis.oise.utoronto.ca/~aviseu _______________________________________________ nettime-lat mailing list nettime-lat@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-lat
