*** NEW: DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30th, 2005 ***

CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS, PERFORMANCES, & INSTALLATIONS

INTERACTIVE FUTURES is a forum for showing recent tendencies in new=20
media art as well as a conference for exploring issues related to=20
technology. The theme of this year's event is Audio Visions. IF06 will=20=

explore new forms of audio-based media art from a diverse body of=20
artists, theorists, and sound practitioners. Sound poetry, web-based=20
audio and multimedia, mobile audio performance, new forms of music=20
theatre, synaesthetic performance, hybrid forms, sound-based=20
installation, video and sound, and environmental sound are all of=20
interest to Audio Visions.

The proliferation of audio technologies, audio-visual collaboration,=20
and hybrid forms of live performance in the new millennium is striking.=20=

Audio artists are exploring the areas of mobility, virtuality,=20
performance, and audience interaction from an experimental=20
point-of-view. Audio Visions invites scholars, sound-artists, and=20
performers of all stripes to submit paper, panel, performance or=20
installation proposals in one of the three following categories.

1. "Sound and Vision" lecture and panel series - Scholars, artists, and=20=

practitioners working in audio or audio-visual-based new media are=20
encouraged to submit proposals for IF06. We are interested in a broad=20
range of audio including: computational, interactive or generative=20
audio; the creation of digital audio tools; synchronization between=20
sound and visuals; performative art that explores language, voice and=20
body; streaming radio and mobile sound works. Presentations should be,=20=

in part, demonstrative. We recognize that sound art is evolving and=20
that categories have become increasingly irrelevant - we encourage=20
proposals that push the boundaries of the traditional conference paper.

2. "Earshot" performance series - "Earshot" is seeking experimental=20
audio-based performances that challenge assumptions about audio forms=20
and performance conventions. Avant-garde, post-avant-garde, techno,=20
electro-acoustic, synaesthetic production, liminal art and hybrid=20
performance are all within our desired range. "Earshot" is primarily=20
interested in new types of electronic audio-visual performance as well=20=

as models for audience participation in sound works. "Earshot" will run=20=

performances at Open Space for each night of IF06.

3. "Tangible Frequencies" installations -  We are interested in audio=20
installation works that consider site, space, vision, volume and=20
perception and how physical location 'matters' to the reception of=20
audio frequencies. IF06 has identified areas within Open Space Gallery=20=

to function as controlled locations for sound installations.* We=20
welcome proposals that respond to the particular characteristics of=20
these locations through their acknowledgement of private and/or public=20=

space and use. Installations may provide audio continuity to the=20
existing locations, or respond as intervention and critique.

INTERACTIVE FUTURES is part of the Victoria Independent Film and Video=20=

Festival and applicants are encouraged to check the Festival website=20
for more information on the broader program.
