Tracing Home
In the era of networked technology, we appear to live in an
Integrated global community where human relations and perceptions are
Conceived through various manifestations of a non-physical world of
connections.
We collectively build and spontaneously find refuge in virtual
communities whose inhabitants experience incongruity and fragmentation,
along with conformity and wholeness. The interplay of physical and virtual
within our lived experience opens up portals and wormholes enabling
simultaneous and discontinuous realities at the touch of a button, echo of a
voice, or nudge of a sensor. The new dynamics not only reconfigures our
relations with ourselves and with one another, but most importantly, it
reshapes our sense of identity, belonging, and place.
As the line between the virtual self and the physical self blurs, as our
engagement with the world becomes less dependent on the Physical space, and
as we simultaneously reside in a multitude of deterritorialized ubiquitous
places, what happens to our Understanding of home?
The SIGGRAPH 2011 Art Gallery: Tracing Home, seeks exceptional digital and
technologically mediated artworks that explore issues around the concept of
home in the networked age. Explorations may include but are not limited to
examining current functional, structural, cultural, emotional, or
metaphorical definitions, or constructing newrealities, experiences, and
meanings.
All forms of digitally mediated art completed in the last two years are
eligible for submission. International projects, multimedia installations,
three-dimensional works, and kinetic, mobile, or interactive pieces are
highly encouraged.
Works submitted to Tracing Home will be reviewed in a jury process, and the
selected work will be exhibited at a gallery space at SIGGRAPH 2011. In
addition, selected works will be published in a special issue of Leonardo,
The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and
Technology.
Artists and scholars are also encouraged to submit proposals for Talks or
Art Papers that address themes related to the exhibition.
