CALL FOR COMMISSIONS

enter – explorations in new technology art is pleased to announce that it will be commissioning three media art projects in 2006/07. enter is a festival that forms a key part of Arts Council England East’s overall strategy for arts and new technologies. Comprising of individual events and culminating with an international festival in April 2007 in Cambridge, enter is also designed to be a banner under which communities, arts organisations and practitioners in the field of new technology art can interact; sharing ideas, opinions and knowledge.
enter will work in partnership with a number of regional and national arts organisations and the higher education and business sector.

Unknown territories: Adventures in Space is the title of the festivalÂ’s showcase programme. The festival will take place between 25-29 April 2007 and consist of a showcase of events and a conference programme, focusing on two main thematic strands: artistÂ’s interaction with audiences and space (public / private / virtual / augmented); and bridging gaps and linking innovative ideas between new technology art, science and business.
COMMISSIONS: We are looking for projects that engage with audiences regionally, nationally and/or globally. Although Cambridge is at the heart of festival, the commissions should have a wider geographical and time-based reach.

For a limited time, we want to create an augmented environment within Cambridge and beyond where passers-by and the festival audience alike randomly encounter media art; influencing their understanding of space and interaction, working with peopleÂ’s responses to technology and stimulating new experiences. enter embarks with them onto their journey into unknown territories at unexpected locations within the city and its surroundings, including gateways, transport infrastructure, commercial areas or hidden pathways.
