::fibreculture:: Electrofringe 2011: Call for proposals now open

[Estee Wah]

Electrofringe is now calling for proposals for the 2011 festival as  
part of the This Is Not Art (TINA) group of festivals in Newcastle,  
Australia. The five-day festival of electronic arts and culture will  
take place from the 29th September – 3rd October, 2011.
Electrofringe is committed to fostering creative and innovative uses  
of technology and electronic art forms, while focusing on artistic  
development and skills exchange. We are looking to unearth emergent  
forms, present innovative work and encourage interesting uses of  
technology. Electrofringe is interested in works that reflect all  
modes of creative practice.

For the 2011 festival, Electrofringe will be implementing a new arts- 
lab initiative for artists to work with and learn from one another. If  
you are an electronic artist (or a collective of artists) interested  
in presenting your work, discussing and developing it with feedback  
from members of your community, sharing your skills and/or  
collaborating with other artists to experiment and make work with  
during the period of the festival, we want to hear from you.

Proposals are accepted from a broad range of investigations including  
cross-disciplinary practice, media-based practice, networked and  
online collaborations, locative technologies, mobile artworks, live  
art, software art, electronics, experimental interfaces, sound, music,  
video, film, installation, performance and much, much more.

ALL PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY THURSDAY 31ST OF MARCH, 2011.
