<p>*****************************************************************</p>
<p> The third Augmented Human (AH) International Conference will be held in
Megève on March 8th and 9th 2012 after being in Tokyo last year. The AH
international conference focuses on scientific contributions towards augmenting
humans capabilities through technology for increased well-being and enjoyable
human experience.</p>
<p> The “Digital Art Section” category at AH2012 is dedicated to digital works
in all forms and formats, from software pieces to network art to installations
related to the topic of “augmented human”. The conference is looking for works
that exemplify the unique contribution of digital media to the human experience
and demonstrate the exciting perspectives that result from the reality of an
augmented human existence. Contributions should already be in an advanced stage
so that they can be realized at least partially in an exhibition space.
Consequently, works in a purely conceptual state will not be accepted. Artists
wishing to submit such concepts should consider a submission as a paper in the
main conference section.</p>
<p> Since the conference venue is an upper-class ski resort with many art fans,
a special Augmented Human and Art (AHA) exhibition session open to the public
will be organized on March 10th and 11th if enough demonstrations and art
materials are accepted to the conference. Works accepted to the exhibition may
be put on sale during the exhibition session.</p>
<p> Participation is open to individuals, groups, institutions, companies
etc.</p>
<p> Exclusively commercially oriented activities in the sense of product
advertisement are excluded.</p>
<p> Submission Details</p>
<p><span style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify">There is a </span><span style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify">special demonstration/art material paper
format: </span>each work has to be entered in the form of a paper (2 pages
maximum) formatted according to the ACM format and that may contain a link
to video or a website. It must include the name of the proposal, an artist
statement, a resume of the artist(s) involved, and a description of the
intended work. Additionally, the documentation should explain the essentials of
how the work functions (space requirements, materials, form of interaction, role
of the participants, interaction flow, mode of display, etc.) This information
is essential and no works will be accepted without this information. Additional
material (sketches, photos, etc.) may be included with all entered works.</p>
