We are seeking papers and artist presentations which interrogate,  
examine,
tease, put forward, discuss, postulate, propose, analyse, synthesise,
combine, hybridise, expound and tickle ideas around the above subjects.

The symposium will be held at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery on the  
final
weekend of the SCANZ residency.

Papers will be considered for peer reviewed publication in the SCANZ  
book to
follow the residency and symposium. Paper presentations at the  
symposium are
expected to be 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes for  
discussion. The
symposium is ‘all in’ – everyone will experience all sessions.  
Proposals for
artist presentations are open in terms of format - we expect but do not
limit proposals to documentation in the form of video, DVD, CD,  
animation,
website, speech, text, image, software, code and Open Source projects.
