Salzburg, Austria [see note below]
https://tei.acm.org/2021/art-performance/

Submission deadline: September 25, 2020

NOTE: “TEI2021 will currently stay on course with the planning of the physical conference in Salzburg, while closely observing the health and travel regulations as well as possible political or financial constraints for the community.” For more information please see https://tei.acm.org/2021/covid-19/

The art and performance track at TEI seeks interactive artworks and performances that articulate and provoke alternative viewpoints to facilitate the discussion around the TEI theme of tangible interaction design. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Artistic perspectives and critiques of human-machine-interaction
• Questioning established forms of digital-physical interactions
• Experimental materialities and speculative science
• Multimodal experiences provoking all human senses
• Embodiment of digital data and critical data representation
• Physical manifestations of artistic research methods
• Breaking sociotechnical constraints through cultural diversity

We welcome submissions from independent artists, academic researchers, professional practitioners as well as art and science students seeking the opportunity to exhibit/perform their artworks combined with a publication in an established academic research context.

Accepted artworks will be exhibited at Kunstraum 5020 in Salzburg for the extended period of two weeks after the main conference, freely open to the general public. This will emphasize the general visibility of the artistic contributions from the TEI community. We also invite performative pieces, which will be staged publicly at a cultural venue in Salzburg (TBD) during the first evening of the main conference. Works submitted to the art and performance track can either be extended to be presented as optional performances, or can be specifically handed as exhibit or performance only. Please indicate whether your submission should be considered as an exhibit and/or performance through the submission process.
