[Hughes, James J.]

Call for Artists, Musicians, Writers:

"Visions of Utopia and Dystopia"

Submission Deadline: 2006-01-30
Exhibition: 2005-02-15 until 2006-04-15
Online Exhibition Space: World Transhumanist Association Gallery

Many objections to technological progress cite examples from dystopian
fiction, from Frankenstein to Brave New World to Gattaca. At the same
time there is a long and broad tradition in the arts, literature, music
and film depicting technological progress in its full complexity,
envisioning societies as enriched by emerging technologies as they are
challenged by them. The curators of the World Transhumanist Association
Transhumanist Art Gallery would like to invite artistic submissions for
our upcoming online exhibition "Visions of Utopia and Dystopia" which
depict, evoke or engage images of humanity transformed by emerging
technologies.  We will accept any artistic product that can be viewed,
read or listened to in an online format, including graphics, poetry,
short stories, photography, music, film, electronic games and multi
media. 

Deadline for submissions will be January 30, 2006.  There is no entry
fee for submissions. Please submit an artist's statement with your piece
as well as a short biography.  We intend to have the exhibition open for
viewing from February 15, 2006 to April 15, 2006. After April 15, 2006
the work will remain in the online gallery, but in the permanent
collection rather than in the exhibition space. Please submit no more
than three [3] works for consideration. Please do not submit work larger
than 100 megabytes.

Send all materials under 2 megabytes in size as an attachment to:  WTA
Co-Curator Dr. Amy Hale at amy at transhumanism.org

If your work is larger than 2MB please send Dr. Hale a link to your work
so that she can peruse and download it.

organization and no profits will be sought from its submissions and/or
