Cimatics aims at supporting innovative experiments and outstanding productions in the fields of audiovisual and digital culture. Cimatics Platform is a framework for initiating and facilitating audiovisual productions, events, publications and workshops. Cimatics Festival focuses on presenting to a large and diverse public what is taking place at the cross-roads of art, media, music, design or technology.

For this 7th edition of the Cimatics festival, we try to go at full throttle again with todays image culture. As an audiovisual festival Cimatics puts the focus both on art, media, design and music. We invite you for a mix of concerts, film-screenings, exhibitions, workshops, conferences, public interventions and parties.

Cimatics is spread out all over the city of Brussels. For 10 days and nights it will be hosted by numerous venues, both underground and above. It intends to be a citywide international festival for advanced creativity, a node where underground, pop and art become mixed in an exciting cultural mash-up.

Cimatics is an ongoing experiment. What was initially a festival for VJing, and soon after for live audiovisual art, has now become an exercise and celebration focusing on ‘advanced creativity’. Todays urban and digital culture in all its diversity.

Festival theme: ‘Participatory Culture’

In 2011 we are hosting an unusual festival-edition with a global urban scope focusing on participatory culture. The event is open for any collaborations of public initiatives aiming at art, media, music and people all over the world. Contact us to take part with your project wherever it is located.

Poole Literary Festival New Media Prize

Jonathan Munro — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:08:30 +0000

Poole Literary Festival is delighted to announce their partnership with The Media School at Bournemouth University to establish a Prize for New Media Writing. The prize will allow writers working with New Media to showcase their skills, provoke discussion and raise awareness of new media writing and the future of the written word. The competition is now open for entries. The deadline for entries to reach us is Midday, 15th September 2010. Click here for information on how to enter and here to see who is on the judging panel.
Michael Bhaskar, a member of the judging panel, said: “This award is breaking genuinely new ground in looking at how digital technology is transforming written communication. As the first award of its kind globally it will be a landmark in the increasingly exciting arena of new media writing and I am thrilled to be involved.”
http://www.poolelitfest.com/new-media-prize.php

What it is:
Storytelling, whether fiction or non-fiction, written specifically for delivery and reading/viewing on a PC or Mac, on the web, or via mobile phone.
Could be thought of as a short story, a novel, a documentary, or poetry.
However, ‘writing’ and ‘literature’ in the digital age now can include words, images, film, animation, and interactivity for the audience.
New media writing can be created using any equipment you wish, from a word processor, to a DV camera; you can shoot photos on your mobile phone, or scan objects on you desktop scanner – anything goes, as long as you have an engaging story to tell (or poetry to express).
You can tell your story by combining any number of media elements, e.g. words on a screen combined with images and video clips.

What it isn’t:
A story/poem written for print which you upload to a webpage or place on a CDROM.
Simply screens of words uploaded to your blog.
Simply a slide show of photos uploaded to Flickr.
Simply a video uploaded to YouTube.

What do we mean by ‘interactivity for the audience’?

Typically new media writing exploits the potential of the web, and so offers the reader/viewer of the narrative a range of ‘activity’ beyond simply reading text or watching film.
For example, a viewer might need to click the mouse on a word or image on screen to activate the next sequence of text, or to link them to the next ‘chapter’.
In some cases, interactivity might involve the reader/viewer in making choices about how the story progresses (remember those ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books).
There might be game-like elements, e.g. answer a question before the next episode or chapter is activated.
There might be a choice of themes for the reader/viewer to explore, rather than follow the conventional chapter 1,2.3,4 pattern.
Some new media narratives allow readers/viewers to follow characters, again rather than the usual chapter structure.
It’s up to you to use new media inventively to build your narrative; and it’s up to you to include interactivity engagingly for the reader/viewer.

What do we want when you enter the New Media Writing Competition?
Your work must be a complete story, i.e. have a discernible beginning middle and end; or be a complete poem or collection of poems, i.e have a title/s and clearly defined textual and visual boundaries.
It must be clearly your own work. If we can’t work out where your piece ends and someone else’s work begins we may have to disqualify your entry..
It must use interactive elements for the reader/viewer, and these must be effective in telling your story or expressing your poetic ideas.
Make sure you supply us with an active link (URL) to your story or poem – your work must be online for us to be able to read/view it.
Make sure you are not breaking anyone’s copyright if you have sourced material from anywhere other than your imagination, e.g. an image downloaded form Google. If we suspect copyright has been infringed we may have to disqualify your entry.
Our judging criteria:
Innovative use of new media to create an engaging, satisfying narrative, or poetry
Ease of accessibility for the reader/viewer
Effective use of interactive elements
Show us that new media can do things ‘old’ media can’t!

Mobile Digital Interactive Storytelling

Jonathan Munro — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:10:32 +0000

Call for papers:

New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia ( http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/13614568.asp )
Special Issue on ‘Mobile Digital Interactive Storytelling’

Until recently a location’s memory could mainly be accessed through media surrogates, such as books, drawings, film or audio files, or through face?to?face encounters with people who were able to knit people into the rich but hidden experience fabric of a place. The integration of low cost pervasive and personal technology in the form of mobile devices and augmented reality into our everyday life starts to change our expectations about how to perceive the world around us.

We are now able to leave traces of our emotional or intellectual experience as virtual attachments to any location. As a result we expect that any place, indoors or outdoors, reveals itself to us by confronting us with connection, context, and uncommon perspectives. Yet, any exploration is in itself an experience and so we desire that the revelation is compelling and enjoyable on an individual and group level. We expect to experience the world around us as a continuous, flexible, and networked exchange of ideas that are routed in where and who we are and how these intrinsic facets of our experience are connected to those of others.

For this special issue we solicit novel papers describing approaches in digital storytelling that address the challenges posed by real world environments experienced through mobile devices. We look for work solutions for redefining our understanding of narrative structure and theory through interactivity in computer?generated story worlds that are tightly interwoven with the places we visit, the objects we touch, and the people we meet. Emphasis will be given to work that seamlessly integrate computerised story telling with real world experiences, including but not limited to:
• Real?time techniques for interactive storytelling
• Story generation and plot management engines for mobile environments
• Interactive digital storytelling: theories, methods, and concepts applied to real world environments
• Emotion design for storytelling
• Educational digital storytelling
• Experience design for interactive storytelling
• Mobile urban drama
• Novel narrative forms inspired by new technology
• Storytelling and augmented reality
• Collaborative environments for interactive storytelling
• Interactive storytelling and gaming
• Interactive and pro?active authoring environments
• Evaluation and user experience reports of interactive storytelling applications

Papers should be not longer than 7000 words including references and should follow the NHRM author instructions. Authors should submit their papers online via the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia Manuscript Central site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tham

Important dates:
September 10, 2010 – Paper submission deadline
November 8, 2010 – Authors notification
December 14, 2010 – Camera?ready version
Summer 2011 – Publication
