In preparing for this exhibition, please note that ICECA can provide 
only equipment for exhibition of works, and is extremely limited on 
financial assistance in case of special hardware required. Therefore 
the Festival will generally only accept works which it can 
accommodate using available equipment (PCs computers, video 
projectors, sound equipment, video/web cameras, vcd/dvd/cdrom 
players, still cameras and alike.

One of our sponsors is providing international airway transportation 
for selected works. In case your work/installation requires such 
transport please mark clearly: “support in transport required” and 
include detailed information about the cargo (detailed description, 
dimensions, value and several images of the equipment being part of 
the work).

Many media installations require complex installation and custom 
hardware, in case you wish to submit a work which requires special 
setup please mark your proposal clearly and please include technical 
specs advance (in Thai or English) together with videos of exhibited 
works. These videos will be presented in lieu of the work itself in 
case the festival is unable to find the financial/technical solution 
to present the work itself.

ICECA also requests your (the artist’s) permission, to include a copy 
of the submitted work in ICECA’s Digital New Media Art Library 
(already including nearly 100 international works from previous 
events).

Submissions will be reviewed by the advisory board of SWU Faculty of 
Fine Arts with the help of volunteer art students. A final decision 
will be made by artistic director of the Festival Francis 
Wittenberger. The Festival reserve the right to reject works, yet a 
detailed note will be issues to each artist both in case of 
acceptance or rejection.

notes:



* ICECA has moved its centre of activity to Thailand's Capital – 
Bangkok and has nothing to do with the pretentious "Supernatural 
Media Festival" which is organized by those who forced ICECA to quit 
its non-profit activity in the northern city Chiang-Mai. This 
therefore, and no other is the only authentic call for proposals for 
“Thailand New Media Art Festival 2004 - Bangkok”



* a single e-mail attachment should not exceed 1 Mb;







With Best wishes for the New Year,
