> CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

> exploring the theme of Open Space.  This exhibition will be  
> showcased at
> the International Communication Association (ICA) Conference in
> Singapore from June 22-26, 2010. Open Space is mounted as the digital

>
> WHAT IS OPEN SPACE?
>
> Open Space imagines a zone of horizontality mobilizing collaboration,
> participation, complex interactive dialogues, process, permeability,  
> and
> community.  The term open space originates in landscape design, where
> space is privileged over mass to stage meaningful  and often  
> surprising
> encounters and interactions. It has also emerged as a key  
> environmental
> concept in the greening of global cities, in architecture, and in
> international organizational design. Indeterminancy, flexibility, and
> contingency  constitute  key strategies in open space.
>
> Open Space proposes a relational mode rather than a fixed object. Open
> Space suggests work that mobilizes an ethics of convenings and
> encounters in a sustainable zone.  Open Space spurs collaborative
> knowledges and produces new provisional microterritories through
> engagement. Open Space is where technologies meet people meet spaces.
>
> WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
>
> We seek works and makers exploring the concepts and practice of Open
> Space in Singapore and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam,  
> the
> Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Burma/Myanmar, and Indonesia).  We are
> particularly interested in makers, artists, collectives, and
> collaborative projects from these regions.  Works that are  
> transnational
> and translational with a central concern of  Southeast Asia  as nexus
> will also be considered.
>
> The Open Space/Singapore/Southeast Asia exhibition is looking for
> digital arts  and design projects in any of the following

> ICA 2010 CONFERENCE THEME:  IM/MATERIAL
>
> Communication is in many respects im/material because it constitutes  
> the
> very nexus where the material and immaterial dimensions of our world
> meet each other.  Communication is indeed spectral or ghostal because
> our interactions consist of making present what could have remained
> absent from a debate, a discussion, a conversation and so on. (from  
> the
> conference website: http://www.ica2010.sg/conference.html)
