Call: Exploring Worlds of Participatory Art, Architecture, & Music

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 08:19 AM PDT

overlaidrealities.jpgCall for Submissions ::Worldmaking as Techné: Exploring Worlds of Participatory Art, Architecture, & Music ::

The editors of this book project were drawn together by a common outlook that the creation of work is the creation of concepts, joining the efforts of theory and praxis in one process (techné), and that the results of our works are the expression of an ontological proposition (worldmaking). This connection was the catalyst to host the panel discussion, The Volatility and Stability of Worldmaking as Techné, at the Inter-Society of Electronic Arts conference 2011 (ISEA 2011). Along with invited panelists, Roy Ascott, Jerome Decock, and Marcos Novak, the panel presented a wide range of perspectives on the topic that covered theory and practice in the areas of art, architecture, and music. While
well received the discussion was all too short and only scratched the surface. Thus the inspiration to launch this book project comes from a desire to further explore Worldmaking as Techné in participatory works.

The book, Worldmaking as Techné: Exploring Worlds of Participatory Art, Architecture, and Music will focus on the involvement of the techné of worldmaking in participatory art practice. Such practice can be found in all areas of art, however, under scrutiny for this particular book are: interactive, generative, and prosthetic art, architecture, and music
practices that depend for their vitality and development on the participation of their observers. The book editors are seeking contributions that will challenge the level of involvement and integration of the observer within the generative praxis in a technoscientific agenda. In this spirit, contributions that cover philosophical, theoretical, and practice-based research are all welcome.
