ELECTROFRINGE 2006 – CALL FOR PROPOSALS
DEADLINE WEDNESDAY MAY 31 2006
Electrofringe is now calling for proposals for this year's festival from artists, media makers, curators, researchers, writers, producers, enthusiasts, etc.
Part of the 'This Is Not Art' umbrella of Festivals in Newcastle, NSW, this year Electrofringe will occur from 28th September to 2nd October and will feature artists from all over Australia as well as visiting international artists.
A heads up, hands-on, all-in festival of experimental, electronic, digital and new media arts and culture. It is dedicated to unearthing emergent forms, highlighting nascent trends and encouraging participants to explore technology and its creative possibilities. The directors for Electrofringe 2006 are Ben Byrne, Cat Jones and Sumugan Sivanesan.
Areas for investigation may include (but are not limited to) hybrid performances, media based practices, web, networked & online collaborations, wireless, wearable and locative technologies, sensor based interactions, software art, custom electronics, experimental interfaces, alternative energies, sound, video, installation and more.
Electrofringe is a skills and arts development festival consisting of panels, workshops, masterclasses, artist presentations and performances and applicants are asked to make proposals under one of the following programming streams:
Panels
Panel-based discussion around a central topic or theme. If proposing
a panel, please include a preliminary title and the topic/theme/
argument to be discussed. Please also consider other possible
panellists and a moderator.
Workshops
Skills development sessions (2-3 hours) aimed at novices introducing
skills, concepts and techniques.
Masterclasses
Intensive workshops (generally run over 2 days), aimed at
participants with a more detailed knowledge of the skills/subject
involved.
Spa[v]ce
Artists presentations and discussions concerned with evolving sound
and audio/visual practices.

examples. Suitable for individuals, collectives and collaborations.
Other
What else can you throw at us?
To submit a proposal go to www.electrofringe.net and fill out the
'Call For Proposals' form.
We will contact you if we require any further information.
The call for submissions for the ElectroProjections screen program
will occur later in the year to allow for work currently being
produced. Also, there are only limited opportunities for exhibitions
and presentations of full works. Gigs will be arranged by the This Is
Not Art Festival Gigs Coordinators with artists drawn from the
festival program – please apply with the festival format in mind (ie
if you want a gig you should consider a panel / workshop as well).
