GENERATE! - call for entries

GENERATE! consists of workshops, an exhibition, and an extensive performance program. It is possible to put forward proposals for all three sections. Called for are submissions from all areas of art. They should correspond or relate to the outlined topic above.

The submission is possible via our online form.

Deadline is September 5th, 2015, 10 am

Possible suggestions are:

Interrelations of technology, science, and art 
Contributions in the area of artistic research 
Technology, science, and art in context with society and social spheres 
Questions about the significance of art and aesthetics in the sciences and humanities, also vice versa
Discussion of digital technologies, as a topic but also a means of art 
Discussion of the status/meaning/significance of digital technologies and scientific research for life and everyday situations. This also concerns changes of communication and perception
We are especially looking forward to works that use media and technologies in an unorthodox, original, and alienated way
This can include: generative art, parametric sculptures, kinetic objects, interfaces, visualization of data, sonifications, robotics, augmented and virtual reality projects, and projection of mapped architecture and sculptures, but also the classical fields of media and video art 
We welcome proposals for light installations (2015 is the UN’s International Year of Light and light based technologies ), subversive games developments, projects and interventions in public space, and internet based art etc.
Also possible are proposals for workshops, presentations, experimental music, and works created on site, for example connected to a workshop.

The submitted works are the basis for creating audio guides/podcasts for visitors. We are looking forward to submissions of suitable material (can be recorded by us or independently). Furthermore, there will be interviews with artists prior to the festival. It is planned to offer guided tours with artists on all three days of the festival. Please indicate in the submission form if you are interested in these options.
