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.


Artist Talks
Presentation and discussion of works, techniques and themes with  
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).
