The PureData Convention Steering Committee is now accepting proposals for participation in L'oeuvre ouverte (the Open Work), the 2nd International PureData Convention. L'oeuvre ouverte invites an open relation between the artwork and the public as well as open attitudes and practices in the fields of programming, artistic creation and scientific research. It will bring together artists, developers and writers who develop, use and reflect on PureData.
The Convention will acknowledge the broad range of artistic and technical disciplines that make use of the software and will address questions of openness and accessibility. It will provide a theoretical and artistic context for the understanding of the aesthetics and
politics of Free / Open Source Software culture.
Selected proposals will reflect varied perspectives and outlooks on the artistic possibilities of free software and hardware that emanate from a wide-ranging community. These include, but are not restricted to connections to art, science and society as well as demonstration of innovative and intuitive interactions. We encourage a wide range of submissions from all levels of proficiency with the software as well as from emergent and diverse PureData communities. Submissions will be evaluated by peer review committees.
Proposals are sought in the following categories:
Artwork/Performances:
The selected artworks should make use of PureData. All forms of audioand visual art including real-time interactive works, improvisations with technology, instrumental/electroacoustic mixes, sound installations, performances, network art, robotics, software art and interdisciplinary work are welcome.
Papers and posters:
We are accepting papers that offer varying perspectives on technical, social, cultural as well as art theory/historical aspects of PureData or the aesthetics and politics of Free / Open Source Software (FOSS) culture.
Demos:
