COMMUNITY DOMAIN CALL FOR PROPOSALS #2 (Final)

This is an invitation by the ISEA2006 Symposium and ZeroOne San Jose:
A Global Festival of Art on the Edge to groups and individuals to
submit proposals for exhibition of interactive artworks and projects
reflecting on the thematic of Community Domain.
 	
ABOUT THE ISEA2006 SYMPOSIUM AND ZEROONE SAN JOSE FESTIVAL

The 2006 edition of the internationally renowned ISEA Symposium will
be held August 7-13, 2006, in San Jose, California. See
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu for more information.

The Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international
non-profit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse
and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals
working with art, science and emerging technologies. Prior host cities
include Helsinki, Paris, Sydney, Montreal, Chicago, Manchester and
Nagoya.

ZeroOne San Jose is a milestone festival to be held biennially making
the work of the most innovative contemporary artists in the world
accessible. In 2006 it will be held in conjunction with the ISEA2006
Symposium.
 	
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DOMAIN CALL

ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose seek to engage diverse communities -- of
interest, geography, ethnicity, race, or belief. In particular, we
seek projects that recognize the hybridity of communities and take
transverse routes across communities.

Many of the members of these communities have no specific interest in
art or technology or their intersection. Yet they have stories to tell
and images of the city to map. ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose are
looking for exemplary projects that actively engage these audiences
and help build bridges between them in ways that may utilize digital
technologies, but which are not necessarily specific to those
technologies.

In other words, the goal is not to train community members to become
artists but to use digital and networked technologies to allow them to
participate in the creation of their own stories -- to become dynamic
producers rather than only static consumers.

Proposed projects can derive from any local context and do not need to
be related specifically to San Jose and the surrounding Silicon Valley
region, although projects can, of course, engage San Jose / Silicon
Valley audiences as well.

For this call, unlike with the early Community Domain call
(http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/communitydomain1/), we do not have available
funding to support accepted projects, although we will do what we can
to provide materials necessary for and helpful to fundraising as well
as a venue and an audience for the work.
