Deadline for proposal submissions: 26 August 2016

The Internet of Things promise is to endow all sorts of objects with sensing, computing and communication capabilities that augment their functionalities. The opportunities opened are exciting, in domains as diverse as entertainment, health, transports, the workplace. A great effort is being put in addressing the technical problems connected with deploying and handling this infrastructure, while the human side of the IoT is receiving relatively less attention. Users are often relegated at the periphery of an otherwise autonomous network of ‘smart’ objects.

A complementary and more human centric vision places sensors at the fingertips of their users, rather than pointing at them, therefore allowing, ideally, for greater agency at the human side of the interface, yet such vision builds on rather utopian scenarios.… read more. “Call: Social Internet of Things 2016”

TRAVELOGUE is a survey of audiovisual artworks made with or inspired by video games. Using machinima and interactive installations, fifteen artists examine the virtual automobile as medium, message, technological commodity, status symbol, interface, and prosthetics. Created through a process of appropriation and remix, these works lie at the intersection of fiction and documentation, performance and simulation, video art and experimental cinema.

TRAVELOGUE takes the viewer for a ride through landscapes that are simultaneously familiar and uncanny, featuring dematerialized vehicles in autopilot mode; glitches, ghosts and algorithms; weapons of mass distraction and feedback loops; sudden acceleration, absolute speed, and endless stasis.… read more. “Call: Travelogue and Festivaletteratura”
