(2) Theory/Criticism: Exposition of a significant issue for contemporary art and design practice.
(3) Methods: Novel techniques for creative practice.

SIGGRAPH 2013 Art Gallery: XYZN: Scale
The 2013 SIGGRAPH Art Gallery theme, “XYZN: Scale,” draws attention to a key critical affordance of computer-based authorship: the ability to iteratively scale our digital representations at will: in-out-up-down, back and forth, + and -. These core functions enable us to change size and location over time, and at different degrees of resolution.The Art Gallery seeks projects that engage the artful transformation of these scaling techniques to explore an idea, tell a story, or create an experience in a novel and engaging way. All forms of electronic and digitally mediated art completed in the last two years will be considered. Artists may submit up to three projects. A special issue of Leonardo journal (Vol. 46, No. 4), published in conjunction with the SIGGRAPH 2013 conference, will include visual documentation of the works exhibited in the Art Gallery. Submissions deadline: 22 January 2013, 22:00 UTC/GMT. Find out more.
