PLAN TECHNOLOGY CAMP
Venue: Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham
Date: Sunday 2 October to Saturday 8 October 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.

Deadline for Expressions of Interest: Monday 4 July 2005

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 where 
possible.
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
