<b>open call for works</b><br>
<br>
the 3rd near-field communication digital art biennale is calling for
works that use and interacts with P2P (peer-to-peer) dynamic and
distributed form of electromagnetic, light and wireless technology
standards.<br>
<br>
the idea of the biennale is to take advantage of the potential of near
field communication and other sharing technologies for promoting and
making web-based digital art accessible in physical settings. it's also
an attempt of bringing this art outside the framework of galleries and
institutions.<br>
<br>
#nfcdab 2018 will take place in Warsaw, Wroclaw(PL), Amsterdam(NL),
Trondheim(NO), Valencia(ES), and possibly Prague(CZ), Berlin (DE),
throughout 2018.<br>
<br>
this call is directed towards the trondheim leg, although the works will be shared between all nodes.<br>
<br>
<b>trondheim biennale date: 4-6 may 2018.</b><br>
location: trondheim, norway, in the context of metamorf and dangerous futures conference.<br>
<br>
technology<br>
NFC tags, QR codes, modified routers, 2 categories of sensors: A.
embedded human sensory pack, see: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense</a> ;
B. sensors in mobile devices, see: <a href="https://www.w3.org/2009/dap/">https://www.w3.org/2009/dap/</a><br>
<br>
suggestive descriptions of what we're looking for<br>
- contextual, parasitic, virtual, imaginary, descriptive, phenomenological, mapping art.<br>
- parasitic on art context and on human percpeption.<br>
- the character of the trondheim leg is low-tech and low profile, even
to to the degree of being 'bricked' (unresponsive) as a strategy against
the spectacle which is technology.<br>
- a focus on the relation between inert physical objects and their
virtual counterpart in a broad sense being objects of our perception -
coming alive, activated by innate or prostetic sensors.<br>
- fictionalization, obfuscation, and muddling of information, activating
associative, lateral, derailing storylines. a staging of events, not
for common digestion all bombyx (written on a box of canned silk worm
pupaes). there should always be the possibility that the biennale
doesn't exist. it may be a practical joke or simply a hallucinating of
arcane references found in public spaces, toilet walls, and bricked
streets. <br>
- the works can be textual descriptions of possible or impossible
artworks for the locations. invert works to 'prompts' for activating the
subject 'in place of the work'.<br>
- alternative mapping strategies between physical and virtual.<br>
- how the tech can be used to invert modes of exhibition and perception.<br>
- people can act like sensors, works can be prompts - an activation of your innate senses.<br>
- descriptive art, the code-tag can act as a prompt for people to write, to email, web or nfc message board.<br>
- a description of a virtual artwork ('imaginary works of art in certain
locations', joubin), or reinterpretation of a real (or virtual!) work
at site.<br>
- hybrid object, virtual-real, the tag refers to its virtual counter-part, complement/undermine/commenting it.<br>
- an object's memory, available to the decoder, and collected by (mail/web/nfcboard).<br>
- virtual graffiti, a camera obscura - creating of an inverted virtual-physical space.<br>
- ambulating, walking, tagging, flaneur.<br>
<br>
<b>submit your work to #nfcdab 2018</b><br>
- content playable or bricked on mobile, portable devices, human senses and imagination.<br>
- whatever you can conjure up related to the call, even being its contrary stance.<br>
- interventions and tripwires.<br>
