OPEN SPACE/SINGAPORE/SOUTHEAST 
ASIA

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

We seek submissions for a curated online 
and on-site exhibition 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 arts exploration of the conference theme Im/Material.

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 forms/interfaces: online art projects, Alternate 
Reality Games (ARGs), social gaming, creative robotics and digital devices, 
locative media, mobile applications, ambient screens, user-generated 
community narratives and maps,  innovative digitally-based  cartography 
projects, web-based archival projects, social media interfaces and projects, 
installation, live DJ/VJ remixes

Additionally, any other digital and 
analog forms that engage a collaborative aesthetic and participatory 
ethics are eligible for inclusion.

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)
