Art in the Age of Pervasive Data, Leonardo Electronic Almanac
500 word abstract due September 10, 2010
Deadline Extended
Art in the Age of Pervasive Data is a call for papers and artworks for a new issue of the Leonardo Electronic Almanac edited by FutureEverything.
This issue of LEA will seek cross disciplinary thinking on art in the age of pervasive data.
LEA is soliciting texts and artworks by artists, researchers, and scholars involved in the exploration of themes including:
The networked city
Data visualization
Open data
Hyperlocal data and the interpretation of proximity
Community use and generation of data
Novel means of navigating the data terrain
Cities today are vast repositories of information, endlessly collecting and archiving data. The growth of databases and libraries that we access and update in the course of our everyday lives, and new techniques of accessing, visualizing and using that data, leads to new forms of representation and social interaction.
The editors seek cross disciplinary essays and artworks on the networked city, data visualization, open data, hyperlocal data and the interpretation of proximity, community use and generation of data, and novel means of navigating the data terrain.
Linked activity exploring the Art in the Age of Pervasive Data theme is being led by FutureEverything and its OpenData Cities project.
The Leonardo Electronic Almanac will produce an online and print on demand paper and gallery issue edited by FutureEverything, as well as host curated images and videos online in the LEA gallery.
The FutureEverything editorial group consists of Karen Gaskill, Drew Hemment, Michelle Hirschhorn, Michelle Kasprzak, Julian Tait and Kate Taylor.
