[ANDREA POLLI]

Submissions have just now opened for ISEA2012 Albuquerque: Machine Wilderness, Re-envisioning Art, 
Technology and Nature at http://www.isea2012.org/ - deadline October 1st

ISEA2012 Albuquerque: Machine Wilderness is a symposium and series of 
events exploring the discourse of global proportions on the subject of 
art, technology and nature. 

Proposals may include:

    * Artworks/Performances

    * Panels

    * Workshops

    * Papers

    * Residencies/Site Projects

The ISEA2012 symposium will consist of a conference September 19 - 24, 2012 based in Albuquerque with outreach days along the state's "Cultural Corridor" in Santa Fe and Taos, and an expansive, regional collaboration throughout the fall of 2012, including art exhibitions, public events, performances and educational activities. This project will bring together a wealth of leading creative minds from around the globe, and engage the local community through in-depth partnerships.

Machine Wilderness references the New Mexico region as an area of rapid growth and technology alongside wide expanses of open land, and aims to present artists' and technologists' ideas for a more humane interaction between technology and wilderness in which "machines" can take many forms to support life on Earth. Machine Wilderness focuses on creative solutions for how technology and the natural world can sustainably co-exist.

The program will include: a bilingual focus, an indigenous thread, and a focus on land and skyscape. Because of our vast resource of land in New Mexico, proposals from artists are being sought that will take ISEA participants out into the landscape. The Albuquerque Balloon Museum offers a unique opportunity for artworks to extend into the sky as well.

The lead organizations hosting ISEA2012 are 516 ARTS, The University of New Mexico and The Albuquerque Museum of Art & History. There are a total over 50 partnering organizations to date representing museums, colleges, nonprofit arts organizations, environmental organizations and the scientific and technological communities.

Spread the word!
