From Virtual to Real

The extended use of digital technologies in physical, biological and artificial environments enables artists to design and implement new forms of Art. Scholars from all over the world will explore these extending possibilities during XARTS 2013 Summer School and Conferences taking place in Syros island from 11-21 of July. The Conference From Virtual to Real is part of this Summer School where researchers cooperating with the PLEIAS and the Planetary Collegium Consortia will present their last findings in Extended Arts subjects.

This call for projects is intended to the artistic and scientific communities interested in Extended Arts.

The topics in XARTS 2013 International Conference include but are not confined to the following areas:

*History of Extended Arts

Digital Art was first confined in the research of specificity aiming at defining a domain that would be recognised as such by the artistic community. Very soon however, the artists explored hybrid solutions to integrate digital media in real or artificial spaces, targeting later the seamless integration of Human, Digital and Physical Activities in Holistic and Systemic Environments. We are interested in papers relating the passages from one era to the next, analysing the works of art and the artistic motivations with a critical thought.

*Theory on Extended Arts

Convergence of the New Media with Bioart, 3D Fabrication and Prototyping, Nanotechnology, Physical Computing, is examined in this conference session. Among the disciplines concerned, Cybernetics, Biosemiotics and Radical Constructivism are confronted in a pluridisciplinary approach. We are interested in papers proposing theoretical models explaining such a convergence, examining multiple parameters of this integration process.

*Artistic Practice

Digital Art, Interactive Art, Immersive Art, Open Art. Extended Arts, a lot of terms aiming at describing the artistic practice are proposed by artists and scholars in the field. In this session we expect papers that describe recent art works (from 2000-now) authored by the artists themselves or the producers of their works in a quest of self analysis of the artistic practice, no matter if it takes a distant approach or not.

* Research in progress

Ongoing research from undergraduates, graduates/postgraduates and professionals
