Hi all,
As you know the ADA -emerge- symposium occurs just before GRAPHITE - a major international conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques. We are hoping that lots of ADA people will take up the opportunity to show as part of Graphite; and we are still working on a specific ADA exhibition/ performance event at the time of the symposium. - all suggestions appreciated.
see attached call for works from GRAPHITE below.
cheers

GRAPHITE 2005: International Conference on Computer Graphics and
Interactive Techniques in Australasia and Southeast Asia
29 November - 2 December 2005
Dunedin, New Zealand
Call for Digital Artwork
The Graphite Art Gallery exhibition will take place at the University of
Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand from the 29th November to 3rd December 2005.
Graphite 2005 Digital Art Gallery is looking for digitally based works
that explore the nature of creative practice, especially works that deal
with the dialectic notions of local/global, digital/physical,
internal/external, the body/the machine, or other technologically framed
dialectic pairings that contain a digital, computer, or electronic
component within the process of creation. These topics may be expressed
in the following types of work:
* 2D and 3D fine art
* Animation or sculpture
* Interactive or online works
* Small-scale installations displayable in light environments without
the need for dedicated darkened rooms
NOTE: All pieces for Graphite 2005 Digital Art Gallery must be original
work, completed after June 2004.
Submission date deadline: 15th August 2005
Submission details:

The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Centre for Contemporary Art and Politics, UNSW present the
Transforming Aesthetics Conference 7-9 July 2005
Key speakers include: Nicolas Bourriaud, Andrew Benjamin, Ernst van Alphen, Jane Taylor and Sean Cubitt
See the website for programme and registration details: http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/aaanz
PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR COLLEAGUES. THANKYOU
Register for the full conference, one day or the keynote address by Nicolas Bourriaud.
Transforming Aesthetics explores the response of aesthetic theory to new forms of art and exhibition practice, emerging in relation to post-9/11 politics, globalisation, post-colonialism and the demise of Euro-centrism.
The entanglement of art with politics frequently prompts art theorists to import concepts from cultural/political theory. But art is not simply a field of application for theory; rather, concepts and theories may be understood to emerge from the visual. For this reason it is crucial to attend to the specifics of visual or aesthetic languages. New forms of political and post-colonial practice call for a new set of critical terms - for an expansion and re-evaluation of the field of aesthetic theory. Thus this conference maps the ongoing transformation of aesthetics.
This project has been assisted by the Federal Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.

hi
i dont say much but often read so i hope no one minds me butting in all of a sudden.
it seems to me that the review process suggested by susan is an excellent one. it doesnt mean it has to buy in to the old boys network of academic peer reviewing. but the underlying premise of giving feed back to applicants, focusing the overall symposium discussion, avoiding doubling up or undue overlap while at the same time offering a degree of legitimacy for those operating with the backing of an institution are all positive reasons...and most importantly, the ADA is after all pretty much 'the authority' in this arena isn't it? it seems to me there is some pretty amazing talent in this 'group'. universities award authority and legitimacy on themselves and others all the time.
i suggest that the hosts assemble a peer group by whatever means, propose and implement a structure for review and solicit the help they feel they need. go dunedin (hi caro)

Su,
I'm watching this topic with some interest. Re the academic scenario and
funding, I can go with the feeling and what your saying about point 1, but
in simple terms to be called a spade, its best if the spade is actually a
spade. That is, if it is a peer reviewed doodah then it needs to follow the
doodah scenario (apologies for the technical language). I think it would be
better to have a section for non peer reviewed papers in addition to peer
reviewed, which is the intention I think.
The benefits are legitimacy for all and for some, being able to apply for
funding. It would be handy to have a legitimate side to the symposiums. In
the future, the symposiums could go big or small, but having legitimacy for
a component might be useful.
Legitimacy means hierarchy, and hierarchy imposes values, but then given
money might come into it, the imposition of values somewhere along the line
will occur as a matter of course. Hierarchies have the money, and seek
legitimation to dispense it.
I agree that a 'paper' can be many things. They could be research based
creative projects or just plain projects that would be presented, but if it
is submitted to the peer reviewed channel then it's peer reviewed. Which
means it might not make it.
Utilising the email list for intro of the 'paper' is a good idea. Simply
putting it on the web someplace doesn't work as well as having it come into
the inbox, in my experience. If readers have to go to a page, it is too easy
not to.
Collated and circulated prior sounds OK, but would be extra work for the
organisers and I can see this turning into pile of papers I must read before
the symposium, and turning up to the symposium with unread papers. Know what
I mean?
Be interesting to see what others have to say.
