TELENESIA - call for work/papers

HIDRAZONE -call for digital art and papers on the theme of TELENESIA.

Ever since the medium of television took on a global dominance artists have created works that both celebrate and critique the power of the ubiquitous TV screen. Reaching its zenith in the global village of 100 channels of satellite TV has it imploded in the face of laptop viewing and downloadable/interactive programming?

sculptural installation, computational narrative, video for handheld, games. multi screen work, expanded television, live performance, video sampling
