As part of Leonardo's 50th Anniversary Convening CODAME Art + Tech will be presenting "Intersections"

Below is a call for artists and performers.

What are the mutual interests of these “two cultures” and how do they drive each other to ask different questions? We invite works that explore the intersections and defy the boundaries of art, science, and technology, be they at the borders of disciplines, the borders of knowledge, the borders of perception, or the borders of the skin. 

Consider: How might art history and the languages of art have shaped the emergence of new technologies? How has artistic method shaped scientific process, and vice versa? In a world rife with imaging and tracking technologies (digital cameras, surveillance, data-mining), how might art envision these new and emerging forms of seeing, moving, and being? As new technologies license unexpected forms of perception (enabling us, for example, to look at the very small - dust, bacteria, atoms - and the very large - stars, galaxies, massive corpuses of data), how can aesthetic projects reflect or refract these perceptual shifts? How might advances in science and technology create new aesthetic mediums? How have these intersections fostered new forms of expression? In what ways might works of art offer critical resources for addressing some of the more euphoric or ominous futures portended by technological advances? 

Send us any relevant artworks and description to be considered for your project proposal. All mediums and formats accepted.

We look forward to hearing from you!
