Call for Music and Sound Artworks: Sounds, Images and Data 2015




July 23 – 24 – 25, 2015

Conference Venues: New York University, Steinhardt School.

Sounds, Images and Data 2015 is a conference that analyzes the role of the artists and curators in creating new experiences and aesthetics in the 21st century. The conference is calling for abstracts but also for Music Scores and Sounds Artworks.

OCR as part of its institutional scope is partnering with international institutions in order to develop a curated exhibition that will be displayed both in physical and online spaces. Curated by Lanfranco Aceti and Tae Hong Park the artworks will challenge established notions of contemporary aesthetic and experiment with media technology and data. Contemporary artworks and music scores from artists will be selected and allocated in a series of venues, in order to provide an understanding of the developments that have characterized the past fifteen years: 2000 to 2015.
