Submissions are now open for ISEA2012 Albuquerque: Machine Wilderness,
Re-envisioning Art, Technology and Nature at
http://www.isea2012.org/isea2012/ - deadline October 15th. In addition to
the main exhibition, there are over 20 funded special projects artists can
apply to and the list is growing!

ISEA2012 Albuquerque: Machine Wilderness is a symposium and series of events
exploring the discourse of global proportions on the subject of art,
technology and nature.

Proposals may include:
* Artworks/Performances
* Panels 
* Workshops 
* Papers 
* Residencies/Site Projects

The ISEA2012 symposium will consist of a conference September 19 - 24, 2012
based in Albuquerque with outreach days along the state's "Cultural
Corridor" in Santa Fe and Taos, and an expansive, regional collaboration
throughout the fall of 2012, including art exhibitions, public events,
performances and educational activities. This project will bring together a
wealth of leading creative minds from around the globe, and engage the local
community through in-depth partnerships.

Machine Wilderness references the New Mexico region as an area of rapid
growth and technology alongside wide expanses of open land, and aims to
present artists' and technologists' ideas for a more humane interaction
between technology and wilderness in which "machines" can take many forms to
support life on Earth. Machine Wilderness focuses on creative solutions for
how technology and the natural world can sustainably co-exist.

The program will include: a bilingual focus, an indigenous thread, and a
focus on land and skyscape. Because of our vast resource of land in New
Mexico, proposals from artists are being sought that will take ISEA
participants out into the landscape. The Albuquerque Balloon Museum offers a
unique opportunity for artworks to extend into the sky as well.

The lead organizations hosting ISEA2012 are 516 ARTS, The University of New
Mexico and The Albuquerque Museum of Art & History. There are a total over
50 partnering organizations to date representing museums, colleges,
nonprofit arts organizations, environmental organizations and the scientific
and technological communities.
