>The Third International Conference on Live Interfaces
>
>Call for Proposals
>
>The third International Conference on Live Interfaces will be held on
>June 29th - July 3rd 2016 at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK.
>The conference will bring together people working with live interfaces in
>the performing arts, including music, the visual arts, dance, puppetry,
>robotics or games.
>
>The conference website: http://www.liveinterfaces.org
>
>The conference scope is highly interdisciplinary but with a focus on
>expressive interface technologies for performance. Topics of liveness,
>immediacy, presence (and tele-presence), mediation, collaboration and
>timing or flow are engaged with and questioned in order to gain a deeper
>understanding of the role that contemporary media technologies play in
>human expression.
>
>We wish to host work that will create a space of multiplicity, in order
>to investigate how disciplinary concerns inform different but overlapping
>approaches to interface design. The conference consists of paper
>presentations, performances, interactive installations, poster
>demonstrations, a doctoral colloquium and workshops. Works engaging with
>the principles and assumptions governing interaction design, including
>perspectives from art, philosophy, product design, and engineering are
>especially welcome.
>
>We invite submissions that address critical and reflective approaches to
>key themes in the design and use of live interfaces. A wide range of
>approaches are encouraged by people from all possible backgrounds. The
>submission categories are the following:
>
>Papers
>
>5-8 pages. We are interested in submissions that address the conference
>topics listed below. The papers must consist of an original contribution
>to the field of artistic interfaces for live performance, describe its
>context, and demonstrate a rigorous research methodology. Paper authors
>may additionally present their work in the demo session.
>
>Posters/Demos
>
>3-6 pages. These are shorter artistic demonstrations of work or concepts.
>Space will be provided for posters and tables for demoing work. A link to
>an online video is required for posters and demos.
>
>Doctoral Colloquium
>
>2-6 pages describing current work. The doctoral colloquium will be an
>opportunity for researchers to present their work and meet other doctoral
>students in related fields, to discuss current research and approaches to
>practice-based research, and receive guidance from more experienced
>researchers. The day will include a session of short presentations in the
>morning, a symposium in the afternoon, and a short workshop in live
>interfaces in the early evening, finishing with food and drinks in the
>Digital Humanities Lab.
>
>Performances, Installations and Workshops
>
>2-4 pages. Proposals should clearly articulate how the work or workshop
>develops the design, use or conceptualisation of live interfaces as
>related to one or more of the conference themes and should comprise: a) A
>description of the work (including duration), b) an image (where
>appropriate), c) a link to online examples of the work, d) a 150-word
>biography for each collaborator, and e) a technical rider (with stage
>layout, audiovisual setup, and equipment to be provided by the venue).
>Daytime and evening performances will be in concert halls on campus, and
>club performances will be in two live music venues in Brighton. Please
>indicate what setting would best suit the work. Installation proposals
>should include description of the space and set-up time required.
>Workshops proposals should specify the duration and number of people that
>can be accommodated. Workshops and installations will be located in
>spaces across the University of Sussex campus.
>
>Technical specifications of venues are available on request.
>
>The proceedings will be published online in collaboration with REFRAME
>Books (MFM, University of Sussex). They will be Open Access, with
>Creative Commons attribution, and with an ISBN number. Each individual
>paper will receive a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
>
>We are looking forward to receive your submission!
