Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending

Contemporary advances in design are shaped by computational design methods, strategies and technologies, regardless of whether these advances are manifested in the design and construction of a building, in related theory and analysis, or in the ways in which future designers and scholars are educated. Architectural computation in the post-digital era calls for new ideas that will transcend conventional boundaries and support creative insights through design and into design. “Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending” provides an interdisciplinary context for challenging traditional paradigms and invites researchers and practitioners alike to (re)consider and (re)address design and computation with a particular focus on three themes:

• Innovative design conceptualisation and support through computational theories and technologies.

Call for Papers

ENVIRONMENT 2.0

Leonardo – Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology

Guest Editor: Drew Hemment

Leonardo calls for papers documenting cross-disciplinary thinking on participatory observation and mapping of the environment, climate and biodiversity; environmental data systems and services; and environmental sustainability in a networked society.

Leonardo is soliciting texts that document the works of artists, researchers and scholars involved in the exploration of citizens as environmental data gatherers, and new approaches to environmental data systems and environmental sustainability.

There is no deadline for this call – submissions may be made at any time.

Themes and issues may include:

• Participatory mass observation of the environment, climate and biodiversity ‚
• New approaches to accessing, visualizing and using environmental data ‚
• Open data and the environment ,
• Citizen science and issues of participation ‚
• Environmental sustainability in a networked society ‚
• Ubiquitous, pervasive, locative and mobile communication technology and the environment.

“Video Game Worlds” panel
Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference
New Orleans, LA
March 10-13, 2011

Submissions are still welcome for a panel on the subject of video game worlds, so be held at the 2011 SMCS conference in New Orleans, LA. Please submit your proposal as soon as possible.

This panel invites submissions addressing the history, analysis, and theory of video game worlds. Where do these worlds fit into the array of virtual and imaginary worlds presented by other media, other fictions, and other kinds of play? How can we characterize video game worlds as sites of spatiotemporal experience? What modes of critical analysis can we bring to bear on video game worlds, and what new theoretical concepts do these worlds motivate?… read more. “Call: Video Game Worlds panel at Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference”

Siggraph 2011, Vancouver (7-11 August 2011) – Game Papers CFP

Submissions due 18 Janurary 2011, 22:00 UTC/GMT

Full details about the conference and information about submissions at http://www.siggraph.org/s2011/for_submitters/game-papers

Researchers are encouraged to submit Game Papers in which they present original work focusing on the design and experience of computer game play. Creative communities that design and develop commercial and non-commercial video games, as well as academic scholars studying video games, game play, human-computer interaction, and game culture are welcome to submit rigorous innovative work in the field. Game Papers explore key issues in video games, inform and substantively advance our current state of knowledge and understanding, and foster new areas for investigation that will drive the next generation of design and player experience.… read more. “Call: Siggraph 2011 – Game Papers”
