Albuquerque, New Mexico

Deadline: 15 October 2011

The International Symposium for Electronic Art (ISEA) in Albuquerque has launched a call for proposals from artists and conference presenters who want to take part in the exhibition and symposium in 2012.

The title 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. Please see the website for information about project sub-themes including The Cosmos, Creative Economies, Wildlife, Transportation and Power.

The renowned ISEA symposium is held every year in a different location around the world, this year in Istanbul, 2012 in Albuquerque.

The  international exhibition for ISEA2012 will take place at The Albuquerque Museum and 516 ARTS, and outdoor, site-specific works will be located around Albuquerque and the region, some created in collaboration with scientific and technological communities. The exhibition will feature work that combines art, science and technology, demonstrating the role art can play in re-envisioning the world.

It will be juried and curated through the international call
