CALL FOR EXHIBITION ENTRIES AND PAPERS

ACM Multimedia 2007 is the premier annual multimedia conference, covering 
all aspects of multimedia computing. The ACM MM Interactive Art Program 
seeks to bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the 
stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both 
multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia 
technology.

This fourth version of the Interactive Art Program will consist of a 
conference track and an art exhibition. We invite artists working with 
digital media and researchers in technical areas to submit their original 
contributions to the following tracks:

- Conference track: we solicit papers describing interactive multimedia 
artworks, tools, applications, and technical approaches for creative uses 
of multimedia content and technology as well as technical approaches for 
the management of art-related media collections. Emphasis will be given to 
novel works that use a rich variety of media and those that are 
interactive, particularly works that exploit non-conventional 
human-computer interfaces or sensors in new and emerging areas. We 
strongly encourage papers with a strong technical content written by 
artists. Papers may be long (10 pages) or short (2 to 4 pages). Long 
papers are presented in front of an audience and short papers are 
presented in poster format.  Deadline for full papers to the Arts Program 
Conference Track May 8, 2007 Deadline for short papers to the Arts Program 
Conference Track June 1, 2007

- Multimedia art exhibition: "I / Other / Group." We seek artworks that 
use multimedia to explore issues of self-exploration, self-presentation 
towards another, the self in a group or the group as a self. We 
particularly seek interactive multimedia works that by combining multiple 
media, technologies, and novel technical ideas, realize strong artistic 
concepts that give a new perspective on the topic of the exhibition. 
Deadline for submission to the Art Exhibition: May 8, 2007
