Small clarification. The deadline is posted on the submissions page (http://www.cpe.vt.edu/cpts/submissions.html), namely: Proposal Submission Opens - Monday, December 17, 2012 Proposal Submission Deadline - Monday, February 11, 2013 Authors Notified of Proposal Acceptance - Friday, March 1, 2013 For additional info please see: www.cpe.vt.edu/cpts/ Finally, we are not anticipating programming any concerts but we may have a "listening room." For your convenience, below is also a summary description that may help answer some of the commonly asked questions: ICAT's IMPACT Studio invites proposals for art, installations, and technology demonstrations with focus on contemplative practice. All submissions will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary panel consisting of ICAT faculty. Selected projects will be showcased as part of the ICAT Open House and on display throughout the conference. Where appropriate, some submissions may be also presented in a paper and/or poster format as part of the "Technology" track. Authors of selected submissions will be expected to attend the conference. We seek any art, installations, and technology demos with focus on contemplative practice. While proposed art and installations should also leverage technology, within the context of this submission we define technology in the broadest terms possible. Please provide as much information as possible, including space and technology support requirements, to help us determine the best venue for your work. While limited funding may be available to help offset the cost of shipping the equipment, applicants for the ICAT Art, Installations, and Technology Demos track should assume that all unique exhibit/demo-specific equipment and supporting hardware will have to be shipped at presenter's expense.
