> CALL FOR EXHIBITION ENTRIES AND PAPERS
>
> ACM Multimedia 2007 is the premier annual multimedia conference,  
> covering all aspects of multimedia computing. The ACM MM  
> Interactive Art Program seeks to bring together the arts and  
> multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and  
> push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology  
> through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology.
>
> This fourth version of the Interactive Art Program will consist of  
> an art exhibition and a conference track. We invite artists working  
> with digital media and researchers in technical areas to submit  
> their original contributions to the following tracks:
>
> ¥ Multimedia art exhibition: ÒI / Other / Group.Ó We seek artworks  
> that use multimedia to explore issues of self-exploration, self- 
> presentation towards another, the self in a group or the group as a  
> self. We particularly seek interactive multimedia works that by  
> combining multiple media, technologies, and novel technical ideas,  
> realize strong artistic concepts that give a new perspective on the  
> topic of the exhibition.
> Deadline for submission to the Art Exhibition: May 8, 2007
>
> ¥ Conference track: we solicit papers describing interactive  
> multimedia artworks, tools, applications, and technical approaches  
> for creative uses of multimedia content and technology as well as  
> technical approaches for the management of art-related media  
> collections. Emphasis will be given to novel works that use a rich  
> variety of media and those that are interactive, particularly works  
> that exploit non-conventional human-computer interfaces or sensors  
> in new and emerging areas. We strongly encourage papers with a  
> strong technical content written by artists. Papers may be long (10  
> pages) or short (2 to 4 pages). Long papers are presented in front  
> of an audience and short papers are presented in poster format.
