Open call for proposals - Workshop in the Woods 2016

We are accepting proposals for tutorials and talks, demos and posters, art installations, and performances for Dartmouth's 4th annual Workshop in the Woods. The Workshop will be held October 21–23 at beautiful Pierce's Inn in Etna, New Hampshire. Workshop in the Woods is a collaborative, interdisciplinary conference for artists, musicians, composers, designers, architects, scientists, engineers, and all others interested in procedural, parameteric, algorithmic, and generative means of creating audio, video, and objects.

The goal of the Workshop is to foster a community of practioners and facilitate discussion across disciplinary lines. Accordingly, Workshop attendance is limited to active participants. There is no participation fee, and two nights at Pierce's Inn plus meals are included. (Transportation to and from the Workshop is not included.)

Workshop in the Woods will consider proposals for:

Tutorials and talks. The workshop features tutorials and talks about art, music, design, performance, and research involving audio and visual synthesis, broadly construed. Talks will be 30 minutes plus extra time for questions.

Poster/demo sessions. The Workshop features several poster/demo sessions. Posters and demos are set up around the Inn, and participants roam freely, talking to presenters one-on-one about their work.

Performances. The Workshop has limited evening slots for visual and sound performances 30-45 minutes in length.

Art installations. Space is available both indoors and outdoors for art installations. The Workshop prefers installations that engage with the natural environment around Pierce's Inn. Proposed outdoor installations must be weather-proof.

Additionally, all participants are invited to contribute to the Workshop's nighttime audio-visual jam sessions and campfire singalongs.

Proposals are due before September 21 and can be submitted at http://aum.dartmouth.edu/~avsynth/2016/
