Introduction:
ICECA Chiangmai, in collaboration with CMU Faculty of architecture, 
is organizing the first New Media Art Festival in Chiangmai Thailand. 
The festival's exhibition is to be presented on the occasion of the 
opening of ICECA's collaborative media space and will be held in this 
space as well as in other parts of the university. A series of 
workshops for the public will be held from 29 March - 1 April and 
selected 25 best works will be presented after that in the exhibition.

Submission information:
Works should contain, but are not limited to, digital works of the 
artist's choice. Acceptable digital formats include:

-video/animation/movie: VHS, mpeg, .mov, Shockwave etc.
-sound: .mp3 .wav .mid
-executable PC or Mac software art
-media files on CD-ROM (DVD no recommended but possible)
-webpage (on CD-ROM)
-image: .jpg,.gif,.png, pdf etc. (no max. dimensions)
-small/lightweight installation/ electronic sculpture etc.
-URL's (for inclusion in the Festival's "virtual gallery")

In preparing for this exhibition, please note that ICECA can provide 
only equipment for exhibition of works, and cannot offer financial 
assistance.  Therefore the Media Festival can accept only works
which are exhibited using existing equipment i.e. PCs and 
Macintoshes, video/data projectors,
sound equipment, video/web cameras, still cameras. Many media 
installations can be quite complex. However, ICECA is only able to 
provide for works using our existing equipment. Artists requiring 
more than this should submit concept papers (in Thai or English) 
together with videos of exhibited works. These videos will be 
presented in lieu of the work itself and we expect them to form a 
major part of the Festival workshops and exhibitions. And, with 
permission, they will be the foundation of the CMU-ICECA New Media 
Library.

Works will be selected by a committee of the Chiangmai University Art Museum.

We cordially invite you to participate in this festival and 
contribute to the emerging media art scene in Thailand by submitting 
works for exhibition and as content for workshops about forms of 
media art reflecting the subject of your choice. Please keep in mind 
that ICECA can only provide assistance in setting up fairly ordinary 
equipment, such as your work, light, video player/recorder projector, 
PC, sound system etc.

If you require any special purpose equipment, such as special 
computer interfaces, please describe
these in detail on your submission so we can consider how to 
accommodate your needs.

Applications will only be accepted by Email, artists should submit 
their applications via email using attached files in the formats 
suggested above. After your submission is accepted we will provide 
you with a mailing address for sending CDROMs, videotapes etc.
