Subtle Technologies Festival
May 27 - May 30 2004
University of Toronto, Toronto Canada
Subtle Technologies is currently inviting submissions for the symposium
component of its 7th annual festival.
Recognized internationally as a unique forum that encourages new
insights and collaborations between artists and scientists, Subtle
Technologies challenges physicists, geneticists, engineers,
mathematicians, astronomers, architects, dancers, media artists and
musicians to contemplate how art and science act upon one another and
reshape perspectives. Throughout four days of presentations, we aim to
cover a wide variety of subjects. There is not an established
programming theme. People who have attended the festival remark that
although the individual topics at the festival are extremely interesting
it is often the threads that are woven between the various presentations
that make the festival a unique experience.
The programming of the symposium is shaped by the submissions of each
year and is meant to broaden the scope of disciplines or areas of
research for those who attend. In the past, topics addressed have
included quantum physics , quantum computing and other unconventional
computing technologies, music, dance, consciousness research,
holography,animation, genetics, sonic explorations, sensing systems and
devices, social systems, complexity theory, and artificial intelligence.
We encourage demonstrations, and can accommodate / provide technical
support for almost any type of presentation.
All past presentations are archived on our website. We strongly urge
those interested in submitting a proposal to aquaint themselves with our
history of programming.
Criteria:
The festival is open to the public and presentations must be accessible
to a non-specialized audience.Each presentation must fill 40 minutes,
followed by a ten minute question and answer period.
It is strongly recommended that parties interested in submitting a
proposal visit our archives at http://www.subtletechnologies.com to get
better idea of our programming.
All presenters receive an honorarium and their festival registration
fees are waived.
Deadline for Proposals: December 15, 2003.

4. Contribute to Xcp: Streetnotes WINTER 2004
Xcp Website is collecting STREETNOTES for its Winter 2004 Exhibition. We
are looking for ethnographic essays, photography, poetry and other
projects which explore the dynamics of the street as an interactive
zone. Streetnotes aims to exhibit experimental forms of documentation
and social description.
Special Section: STREET as METHOD
In the next issue of Xcp: Streetnotes, we will be displaying examples of
coursework or assignments, which integrate an analysis of public places,
buildings or streets. The idea is to show how observation or field
techniques can be applied to everyday experiences, as a means of
analysis, cultural production or critique.
Professors are asked to send for publication project synopses, where the
"street" has become a site for fieldwork, reflection, or performance.
Professors are also encouraged to recommend select students to submit
their own work as examples of successful course projects.
We hope that we will be able exhibit the various uses of fieldnotes (or
streetnotes) in the various disciplines. As well as expand the possible
observational techniques. Towards this end, we aim to publish short
accounts of research assignments or research problems, along with a
small collection of possible or innovative solutions.
We envision a display of innovative research projects from courses in
Cultural Anthropology, Urban Studies, History, Literature, Geography and
Visual Arts.
For more information about the guidelines for contributing to Street as
Method contact Xcp: Streetnotes Editor, David Michalski at
