The Digital Art Weeks is concerned with the application of digital 
technology in the arts. It consists of a symposium, workshops, and 
performances. The program offers insight into current research and 
innovations in art and technology. Artists and researchers will 
examine the use of electronic media in articulating the performer's 
presence through the possibilities of the multi-sensuality of 
electronic media. The possibility of blurring the divide between 
public and performer to bond them through the powers of dissemination 
and inclusion inherent within the technology used will also be 
considered. The organizers of the Digital Art Weeks at ETH Zurich 
seek papers, posters, and performances on themes specific to 
performance using electronic media. We seek proposals that explore a 
concept of the Performative Surround in terms of how 
computer-mediated communication and dialog takes place between 
performers and viewers and how it tends to aid in dissolving the 
divide between perf!
  ormer and viewer.
