> Call for Submissions  > Online Submission Form CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Deadline January 15th 2005 Subtle Technologies Festival May 26 - May 29 2005 University of Toronto, Toronto Canada Subtle Technologies is currently inviting submissions for the symposium component of its 8th annual festival. Recognized internationally as a unique forum that encourages new insights and collaborations between artists and scientists, Subtle Technologies challenges physicists, geneticists, engineers, mathematicians, astronomers, architects, dancers, media artists and musicians to contemplate how art and science act upon one another and reshape perspectives. Throughout four days of presentations, we aim to cover a wide variety of subjects. People who have attended the festival remark that although the individual topics at the festival are extremely interesting it is often the unexpected threads that are woven between the various presentations that make the festival a unique experience for presenters and audience members. This year, while still offering a diverse program in many subjects, we will be celebrating the international "World Year of Physics" with a special session on the work of artists and scientists who investigate physics in their work. The "World Year of Physics" coincides with the centennial of the publication of three of Einstein's papers that changed the way we would think about physics. Apart from the session celebrating the "World Year of Physics", programming of the symposium is shaped by the submissions received each year and is meant to broaden the scope of disciplines or areas of research for those who attend. In the past, topics addressed have included architecture, quantum physics, quantum computing and other unconventional computing technologies, music, dance, neurology, imaging technologies, holography,animation, genetics, sonic explorations, sensing systems and devices, social systems, complexity theory, and artificial intelligence. We encourage demonstrations, and can accommodate / provide technical support for almost any type of presentation. Summaries of past presentations are archived on our website. We strongly urge those interested in submitting a proposal to acquaint themselves with our history of programming. Criteria The festival is open to the public and presentations must be accessible to a non-specialized audience. Each presentation must fill 40 minutes, followed by a ten minute question and answer period. It is strongly recommended that parties interested in submitting a proposal visit our archives better idea of our programming. All presenters receive an honorarium and their festival registration fees are waived. Deadline for Proposals January 15, 2005.
