[spectre] Ambience 2011 - Call for conference and Exhibition Participation

[Arne Kjell Vikhagen]

*CALL FOR CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION PARTICIPATION – FIRST CALL*

*
WELCOME TO AMBIENCE´11
<http://www.ambience11.se/>…where art, technology and design meet*

An international conference, and exhibition, which welcomes researchers 
and artists/designers/architects to the University of Borås 28-30 
November 2011.

The Ambience conference focuses on the intersections and interfaces 
between technology, art and design. The first international conference 
in the Ambience series was held in Tampere, Finland in 2005. In Tampere 
2005 the basic theme was “Intelligent ambience, including intelligent 
textiles, smart garments, intelligent home and living environment”. In 
Borås 2008 it was “Smart Textiles – Technology & Design” and in Borås 
2011 it will be the new expressional crossroads where art, design, 
architecture and technology meet; digital architecture, interaction 
design, new media art and smart textiles.

With a foundation in artistic practice the conference will be organized 
as a meeting place where art, design, architect and technology 
communities can come together to discuss and share ideas on the 
interfaces between art and technology development; a place where art, 
design, architecture and technology can meet and interact, to inform 
each other, and to bring new ideas back to their own community.

The conference will include sessions for paper presentations as well as 
an exhibition for the presentation of art, design and architectural work.

We welcome contributions from the areas of art, design and architecture 
where new technology plays a key role and also contributions from areas 
of technology where focus is on applications in contemporary art, design 
and architecture.

Keynote speakers will introduce discussions about, and critical 
reflections on, the future development of the intersections between 
artistic practice and technology. Concerts and performances will also 
display artistic perspectives on modern technology.

The conference is organized by The University of Borås in cooperation 
with Tampere University of Technology and is a part of the Smart 
Textiles Initiative – www.smarttextiles.se <http://www.smarttextiles.se/>
