CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Subtle Technologies 2007

in situ
art • body • medicine

May 24th – May 27th 2007
University of Toronto, Toronto Canada

Submission Deadline January 3, 2007.

Subtle Technologies is a four-day multidisciplinary Festival exploring
complex and subtle relationships between art and science. The annual
international event combines symposia, exhibitions, workshops and
performances that juxtapose cutting-edge artistic projects and
scientific exploration.

For the 10th Annual Festival, Subtle Technologies invites
practitioners of arts, sciences and medicines, and those who study
their context, historians, ethicists, and other critical thinkers to
contemplate how these disciplines can work together and reshape
perspectives on the body.

As scientific and technological breakthroughs prominently occupy our
culture, we ask where the boundaries are. We are interested in
investigating how we relate bodies in situ: as parts, as a whole, as
systems; how we identify, map, modify, protect, violate, and heal.

We invite a wide interpretation of bodies including the molecular,
physical, cultural, economic, legal, political, energetic, electrical
and spiritual.

A range of approaches are welcome, including interdisciplinary work,
specialized presentation proposals that focus on a single topic in
depth, and general discussions that draw upon multiple topics. We
welcome a diversity of presentation formats, including those
practitioners who may not emphasize the use of science and technology.

Proposals for the following will be considered:
workshops, performances, poster sessions, and symposium presentations.

How to Apply:
Details are available on the online submissions form.
