Apologies for Cross-posting
-----------------------------
This is just a last reminder that the deadline for expressions of
interest for the second PLAN event is tomorrow -
Monday 4th July 2005.
Details of the event are repeated below:
PLAN TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP
Venue: Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham
Date: Sunday 2 October to Saturday 8 October 2005
Deadline for Expressions of Interest: Monday 4 July 2005
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST are invited for the second PLAN event which
will
take the form of a team-based hands-on workshop in Nottingham. Those
interested in taking part should submit a 2-page summary of their areas
of interest and expertise, so that working groups can be formed to
develop a seed idea into a hypothetical project.
The Pervasive and Locative Arts Network (PLAN) is an international and
interdisciplinary research network funded as part of the Engineering
and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Culture and Creativity
programme. The network aims to bring together practising artists,
technology developers and ethnographers with the aim of advancing
interdisciplinary understanding and building consortia for future
collaborative projects. Further details about PLAN and its membership
are available at http://www.open-plan.org
AIMS OF THE TECHNOLOGY CAMP
Cross-disciplinary teams will be formed to work on seed project ideas
and develop methodologies, encouraging cross disciplinary
experimentation. Proposals may develop into real projects or may be
entirely hypothetical. There will be opportunities to take the projects
further, in particular as part of the PLAN final exhibition at
Futuresonic 2006 in Manchester UK during July 2006.
We regret that due to the nature of this event, the number of
participants will be limited, and we will not be able to offer a place
to all those who could make a valuable contribution or who we would
like
to see attend.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please send a 2-page expression of interest, including details of your
areas of interest, experience and expertise to the address below by
Monday 4 July 2005. Suggestions for seed ideas in the area of
locative-based media are also welcomed. Places at the workshop are
limited and the steering committee reserves the right to seed ideas and
put together diverse teams from the best submissions, based on the
expressions of interest together with views generated at the ICA Event.
The expression of interest should also include:
Contact Name and postal address
Email address
Telephone
Webpage
EVENT COSTS
There will be no attendance fee for the workshop, but attendees will be
expected to pay their own hotel bills and travel expenses. We request
that participants seek support for travel and subsistence from their
institutions or funding councils. Limited support is available from
PLAN
for participants without institutional affiliation or other means of
support, please contact us for further details.
IPR/COPYRIGHT
Due to the explorative nature of the event, we are unable to provide
any
protection for IPR/Copyright of ideas. However we would expect
attendees
to respect each others rights in this regard.
