Culture" and in the general areas of Interactivity, Virtual Reality,
Cognition, Information Technologies, Applications in Video and Film, Music
(composition, performance, theory, interactivity, etc.), Experimental
Theater, Compositional Process, Innovative Use of Technology in Education,
Computer Simulations of Physical Phenomena, Scientific Visualization and
Social and Ethical Issues in Arts and Technology. Paper submissions are
especially encouraged to be submitted by email. Upon acceptance, finished
papers must be submitted electronically following the specific format of
the symposium and in camera-ready form in one of the following formats by
January 15, 1999 : Word or Wordperfect. Papers may be grouped in panel

are being solicited. Available instruments are: flute (doubling on
piccolo), oboe, clarinet (doubling on bass clarinet), bassoon, trumpet,
horn, trombone, percussion (two players), guitar, string bass, piano, and
strings (2,1,1,1).
Works should not exceed 15 minutes in length and should be submitted with
accompanying score, where appropriate. Tapes for selection purposes
should be on cassette, CD's or DAT. Works for performance should be CD or
DAT. Video works should be 3/4 inch Umatic or 1/2 inch VHS. Musicians,
dancers and actors are available for live performance pieces.
Artworks:
Works of computer-generated or computer-aided art, or computer-controlled
interactive art are encouraged. Animations, video or other works of
computer art on tape will be shown in concert settings and less formal
settings throughout the Symposium. Complete technical requirements must
be included. Slides or video (VHS) and complete descriptions of works
should be submitted by November 1, 1998.
Art works accepted for exhibition must be received by February 1 for
inclusion in the
pre-symposium gallery showing, February 15 - March 11. Black and white
photographs and images on disk (PICT, TIFF, PCX, GIF) for publicity
purposes must be sent by January 15, 1999 for accepted works.
Choreography, Dance and Theater Studies:
Computer-generated or computer-aided choreography is being solicited for
live performance or for videotaped presentation. Specially produced dance
or theater videos are of particular interest as opposed to concert tapes
or other archival uses of video. Also of interest are proposals for
workshops, demonstrations of software for dance or theater notation,
choreographic analysis, or for interactive studies and/or multi-media
studies of performance in dance, theater and hyperspace.
Complete technical requirements must be included. Videotapes or complete
descriptions of performance works (not longer than 20 minutes),
demonstration or workshop proposals should be submitted by the general
deadline of November 1, 1998. Tapes for selection purposes should be VHS.
Musicians, dancers and actors are available for live performance pieces.
Panels:
Proposals for panels are welcome. The proposals should include
prospective panelists and should be directed to general topics including
social and ethical Issues in arts and technology and explorations of
cross-disciplinary approaches to arts and technology.
Scientific Visualizations:
Submissions are solicited for computer animations and virtual realities
used to visualize complex scientific processes. Special emphasis will be
given to works emphasizing artistic content or educational modules.
Submissions should be on CD-ROM, or Mac or IBM Zip disk format.
