AESTHETIC ARTEFACTS
NordiCHI 2006 encourages the submission of "aesthetic artefacts" and follows the trend that was started at NordiCHI 2002. The submission category promotes experiments into how artistic expression and praxis affect perspectives on interfaces, contexts and design.
Examples of possible artefacts include (but are not limited to): interactive artworks, computer games, interactive installations, net art, software art, artistic interfaces, aesthetic experiments with HCI-related issues. Accepted aesthetic artefacts will be exhibited at the conference in conjunction with the interactive event session. See the conference website for details.

June 30. IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization 2006
New this Year
InfoVis Art Exhibit
Information visualization is traditionally viewed as a tool for data exploration and hypothesis formation. In recent years, however, both the mainstreaming of computer graphics and the democratization of data sources on the Internet have had important repercussions in the field of information visualization. With the ability to create visual representations of data on home computers, artists and designers have greatly expanded the practice of infovis as artistic pursuit.
In its first edition, the InfoVis Art Exhibit examines the merging of artistic intention and visualization technique. We are looking for artwork that reveals data patterns in aesthetic, innovative ways.
The InfoVis Art Exhibit will consider the following types of work:
- interactive CD/DVD-ROM work
- interactive web-based work
- printed artwork
Accepted art submissions will be included electronically on the IEEE Visualization 2005 Conference DVD, shown during the InfoVis symposium, placed on the official infovis.org web site, and the summary will be distributed in a hardcopy compendium to all symposium and conference attendees.
For instructions on how to submit your work, see submission page at: http://conferences.computer.org/infovis/infovis2006/art_show_c.html
