The Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) is Australia's pre-
eminent festival dedicated to showcasing innovative works of art in
the areas of new media, electronic screen, sound and interactive
media and is the largest and most visionary electronic arts event in
the region.
Through a broad program of exhibitions, conferences and public talks,
BEAP provides a focus for discussion and exploration of the emergent
aesthetic, social and technological implications that surround the
electronic arts, in all its possible forms, whether visual, audio,
interactive, temporal, experiential, digital, 'bio' or 'nano'.
The Computers in Art and Design Education (CADE) conference is a
major international event for those interested in the exploration of
ideas at the intersection of pedagogy, arts, design, science, and
technology. The 2007 conference will provide a focus for shared
learning, dialogue and interaction that directly informs professional
methodologies and practice.
In 2007 CADE partners with the Biennale for its first conference
outside Europe, creating a new focus for exploring the latest
research and practice within creative arts education at the point
where the 'digital' is both a challenge and a strength.
Perth, the capital of the state of Western Australia, has a distinct
creative community that celebrates the uniqueness of Western
Australia's stunning bio-diverse environment and combines Indigenous,
European and Southeast Asian cultures.
Internationally recognised for its commitment to research in bio and
electronic arts in tertiary education, Perth welcomes delegates to
explore and reflect on global perspectives from a pivotal point
within the Asia-Pacific region.
==============
Conference theme
==============
We invite educators, theorists and creative arts practitioners to
meet in Perth, Australia, to explore the paradox of "Stillness."
"Stillness" is the theme for the 2007 Biennale. The concept of
"stillness" will become an anchor for events in the ceaseless flows
of data and provide a reflective moment for new ideas to emerge and
interact, explode or coalesce, blossom or fade.
BEAP will be supporting and encouraging a community of artists to
explore:
* Stillness as Sound
* Stillness as Bio
* Stillness as Data
* Stillness as Duration
CADE will challenge you to confront these conceptual issues.
===========
Call for papers

interactive arts, computer games and mixed media performance and
traditional disciplines (such as fine arts, sculpture, photography,
