Participating institutions include: University of Minnesota School of Music, the Walker Art Center, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. This Minneapolis symposium addresses current research, theory and practice related to art and electronics, with an emphasis on "the art factor". The term "art" applies broadly to forms that address sound, image, word and body either specifically or as intermedia. This includes works by visual artists, performers, musicians, and artists developing new electronic formats. Artists, scientists, arts critics, curators, educators, and others interested in the use of electronics in the arts are encouraged to participate. Beginning in 1993 this biennial series, first held in Utrecht in 1988, becomes an annual event bringing together experts from the worlds of art, science and technology. This 1993 symposium will focus on artistic procedures and information processing by artists. This includes technical procedures, related research, and aesthetic/critical assessment of such art. Panelists and speakers are encouraged to illustrate presentations with "works of art". Practicing artists, who use electronic technologies, will be welcomed to address procedures and applications. The symposium also seeks to stimulate dialogue on arts criticism and foster an informed critique of "the art factor" in the artist/machine dialectic. Deadlines, 1993: Workshops, Tutorials, Papers, Panels: April 15; Performance/Concert: May 15; Art Show, Electronic Theater: June 15; Slide Show, Listening Room: July 15.

An art gallery in Paris seems interested, and several artists, including Masaki Fujihata, are ready to participate. The purpose of the exhibition is to make the project for the International Computer Sculpture Atelier more widely known, especially to potential sponsors. Purpose of the Computer Sculpture Atelier: In this Atelier, artists will be able to produce sculptures on com- puter-controlled machines. Graphic artists could add a third dimension to their works, sculptors could experiment with a new tool and students could be trained. This symbiosis of Science, Industry and Art may be of universal interest, since apparently only a few experiments of this kind have been carried out. Therefore the Atelier could provide a prestigious showcase for manufacturers' most recent equipment. Various techniques may be used, such as milling, loviformage (coilforming by welding), stereolithography, joining or stacking of plates cut out with tools such as lasers or water jets. Current status of the Atelier project: Artists in several countries and schools are already interested. A technical school near Paris, which has produced several sculptures for the originator of the project, is willing to produce the Atelier if funds are provided. More potential participants, as well as sponsors willing to donate funds or equipment, are still being sought. Artists who have produced computer sculptures or who intend to produce some in 1992 and are interested in participating in the exhibition are encouraged to contact: Alexandre Vitkine 66, rue d'Auguesseau 92100 Boulogne, France ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Michael Benedikt ******************* A n n o u n c e m e n t *************** a n d -------- CALL FOR PROPOSALS, ABSTRACTS, AND PAPERS --------- 3 C Y B E R C O N F THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CYBERSPACE MAY 14 and 15, 1993 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN ********************************************************************** The Third Conference on Cyberspace will be held May 14 and 15, 1993 at The University of Texas at Austin.

Artists worldwide making images, texts, music together. We want to make authoring a collective experience and a collaborative process. The themes we hope will weave their way through our networking will recognize that it's Halloween - a kind of electronic, metaphysical, out-of-body trick or treat. We also want to use this 24 hour period, noon Saturday to noon Sunday, to create a new day of the week - the eighth day of the week. We'll use email like Earn, Bitnet, as well as Picturetel and fax. We'll use Macs and Amigas, modems and fax machines.
