CfP Full Bleed 5: Adaptation – MICA

Full Bleed, an annual journal of art and design, seeks submissions for its fifth issue, forthcoming in May 2021. We publish criticism, belle lettres, artwork, design, illustration, fiction, poetry, and graphic essays. For Issue Five, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of adaptation.

Media-N CFP – No Template: Art and the Technicity of Race

Zach Duer

UPDATED Deadline for submission of abstracts: July 31, 2020 A decade ago, Beth Coleman and Wendy Hui Kyong Chun introduced the concept of race and/as technology.* Turning to Heidegger’s notion of techne as prosthesis or skill, Coleman and Chun imagine race itself as a technology that can be leveraged, a tool for navigating systems of power. This distances race from its mythological status as biological fact, creating a critical framework that returns historical agency to the individual and helps us understand how race and ethnicity function in the visual–and technological–world. Recently, the concept has received renewed attention as the intersections…

BOT_ISH – Ely Center of Centemporary Art

Zach Duer

BOT_ISH is an unjuried exhibition about touch and tech. From “Siri” in our pockets and “Alexa” in our homes awaiting questions and interaction, to the ethics of coding and the systems of self-driving cars, we ask: how are robots working both in tandem with and in spite of the human body? This exhibition calls all culture producers and all genders—artists, writers, thinkers, makers-to participate with work that addresses issues of consent, gender, equity, health, spirituality and identity. www.elycenter.org About: The Ely Center of Contemporary Art’s mission is to reaffirm Grace Ely’s testamentary wishes for an art center where artists, arts…

Call For Submissions: Media, Materiality and Emergency – MAST: Journal of Media Art, Study, and Theory

Zach Duer

CFP MAST Issue 2: Media, Materiality and Emergency Deadline: 30th June 2020 In what ways do questions of materiality matter in a time of crisis? What does it mean to explore the matter of things at a time when we are threatened with the annihilation of that matter, its disappearance, or its disintegration? The second issue of MAST journal seeks to answer and further explore these questions through essays from arts practitioners and theorists. Questions of materiality have been central to both media arts practice and media and communication theory. In most accounts, media is situated as the ‘inbetween’ of…

Call For Papers: Video Game Art Reader – Issue 4 – Deadline 3/20/20

Zach Duer

Video Game Art Reader Issue 4 Call for Papers Video Game Art Reader is accepting submissions through March 20th! Issue 4 Theme: OVERCLOCKING In computing, overclocking refers to the common practice of increasing the clock rate of a computer to exceed that certified by the manufacturer. While the concept is seductive—buy the slower, lower-cost central processing unit (CPU), accelerate the clock speed, and presto! you have a cheap, high-end processor—overclocking may destroy your CPU, motherboard, and system memory, or irreparably corrupt your hard drive (voiding your warranty being the least of your problems). This issue of the Video Game Art…

Zach Duer

Since then many of the artists and educators who participated in the roundtable have developed practices in Virtual Reality / Extended Reality experiences. This represents a distinct shift from a materialization of the digital object back to the liminality of virtual space. Using the roundtable format once again, Clarke and Burtonwood are interested in exploring the physical-virtual shift that has occurred, and…

Call for papers for special issue on Forking Paths in New Media Art Practices: Investigating Remix for Media-N Journal

Zach Duer

We invite paper proposals for a peer reviewed special themed issue for Media-N Journal titled “Forking Paths in New Media Art Practices: Investigating Remix.” Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “The Garden of Forking Paths,” this issue aims to include essays that function as samples of the sprawling role remix continues to have on cultural production beyond the arts.
