Today this practice is branching into a several directions, ranging from performance, installation, video, or conceptual work situated in the space or space analogous environments themselves, to commercial gallery contexts and the realm of participation and public engagement with science. This session addresses the practice of contemporary artists who have developed new ways to appropriate space for their work, the conceptual and practical foundations of their engagement, and the implications of this emerging aesthetic paradigm for both the fields of space and art. Submissions are welcome from artists and art historians, and from space industry and space agency representatives as well as from the cultural sector facilitating or programming related projects crossing over the increasingly blurred boundaries of creative practice.</div></dd></dl><dl style="max-width: 40em; font-family: Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(237, 237, 237);" class=""><dt id="ipc-members" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 39, 93); margin-top: 1em;" class="">IPC members</dt><dd style="margin-left: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;" class=""><ul style="padding-left: 1em; margin: 0px;" class=""><li style="max-width: 50em;" class=""><div style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 50em; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.2em;" class="">Co-Chair: <a href="mailto:rclar@arttechnologies.com" style="color: rgb(120, 110, 150); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(120, 110, 150); text-decoration: none; padding: 0px 1px;" class="">Mr. Richard Clar</a>, Art Technologies, United States;</div></li><li style="max-width: 50em;" class=""><div style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 50em; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.2em;" class="">Co-Chair: <a href="mailto:tor@imachination.net" style="color: rgb(120, 110, 150); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(120, 110, 150); text-decoration: none; padding: 0px 1px;" class="">Dr. Tim Otto Roth</a>, Imachination Projects, Germany;</div></li><li style="max-width: 50em;" class=""><div style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 50em; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.2em;" class="">Rapporteur: <a href="mailto:tibor.balint@jpl.nasa.gov" style="color: rgb(120, 110, 150); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(120, 110, 150); text-decoration: none; padding: 0px 1px;" class="">Dr. Tibor Balint</a>, Art Center College of Design, United States;</div></li></ul></dd></dl><div style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 50em; font-family: Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(237, 237, 237);" class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div></div></body></html>
