TransX Transmission Art Symposium: Call for Papers & Performances
Deadline:
Thu Jan 31, 2013 00:00
Location:
Toronto,
Canada
New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) is pleased to announce the 2013 edition of the TransX Transmission Art Symposium
May 17 - 20, 2013
We are now inviting submissions for papers and performances:
Rooted in the earliest experiments with radio, Transmission Art has continued to flourish into the 21st Century with experiments using wireless communications technology over the past 100 years, including the exploration of a variety of mobile-based platforms and lesser-known forms of transmission, such as VLF. The terrain of transmission art is dynamic and fluid, always open to redefinition.
The Trans-X Transmission Art Symposium, part of the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art, will focus on Transmission Art, with particular interest in contributions that summarize, examine or reframe traditions and histories of transmission art practices, technology, education and pedagogy. Additionally, we are very interested in presentations that go beyond the local contingent to give a sense of how new technologies of international transmission activity might be experienced. Proposed presentations and performances that combine the themes of Transmission Art and"Sonic Geography" are also especially welcome !

2012 Call For Submissions
SONIC GEOGRAPHY: exploring Space & Sound
Deadline November 15, 2012
Categories: Transmission Art/Radio Art, Electroacoustic Music/Sound Art,
Interactive Installation Art, Locative Media Art
New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme SONIC GEOGRAPHY: Exploring Space & Sound - for consideration in New Adventures in Sound Art's 2013 programming in Toronto, Canada.
The NAISA Space is located in a 100 year old building originally constructed as a repair barns for the city's streetcar trollies. The sound of these trollies over the past 100 years has become a signature of the Toronto soundscape. In recognizing this important local milestone NAISA is asking artists to consider sounds that speak of place and that help identify communities.
Preference in programming will be given to works that respond in some way to the theme of SONIC GEOGRAPHY: Exploring Space & Sound. Individual interpretations or variations on the theme are encouraged, but should be realized with sound as the primary component. NAISA would also like to encourage artists to submit works for performance, gallery exhibit, screening, webcast or audio stream, radio broadcast, network or translocal performance, mobile experiences and any other emerging formats that include sound as a primary element. Programming contexts include the long established festivals Deep Wireless and Sound Travels along with other events. Visit the other sections in this site to explore NAISA's programming activity.
Please complete in full the online submission form and upload your audio by midnight on November 15, 2012. Note: there is a $5 submission fee in order to defray the cost of processing the submissions. All works programmed by NAISA will receive an artist fee with the exception of works broadcast on NAISA Radio.

Trans-X Symposium - call for papers
Deadline:
Thu Mar 15, 2012 23:59
Location:
Toronto,
Canada
New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) is pleased to announce the Trans-X Symposium May 25-27, 2012.
We are now inviting proposals for papers (deadline: 15 March 2012).
Rooted in the earliest experiments with radio, Transmission Art has continued to flourish with experiments with wireless communications technology over the past 100 years. The 21st Century is not excluded from this experimentation as artists have ventured into exploring a variety of mobile-based platforms and more lesser known forms of transmission such as VLF to name but a couple of recent examples. The terrain of transmission art is dynamic and fluid, always open to redefinition. With NAISA being a sound art organization, we ask the question, what new sound experiences are possible in the transmission and mobile media platforms? We would like the new artists of today to answer our challenge.
The 2012 symposium takes place at the end of May during the closing weekend of NAISA's Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art. The Trans-X symposium will focus on transmission art, with particular interest in paper contributions that summarize, examine or reframe traditions and histories of transmission art practices, technology, education and pedagogy. Additionally, we are very interested in paper presentations that go beyond the local and contingent to give a sense of what new technologies of international transmission activity might sound like
The symposium will take place in Toronto at New Adventures in Sound Art’s facilities at the Artscape Wychwood Barns from May 25 to 27, 2012. As in preceding years as in the Radio Without Boundaries conference (this symposium's predecessor), the symposium will include workshops, panel discussions and performances during the final weekend of the annual Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art. The 2012 edition of Deep Wireless will explore emerging trends alongside established traditions in radio and transmission art. At the heart of the symposium will be a keynote lecture by Galen Joseph-Hunter (New York, USA), author of Transmission Arts: Artists and Airwaves and Executive Director of free103point9.
All symposium contributions will be webcast live, and text proceedings will be published on-line on the NAISA web-site. Please see below for specific guidelines on paper submissions. We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, collaborators and students in Toronto in May!
