ACM Multimedia Art Exhibit

Interactive Art

ACM Multimedia 2011

Materials needed September 1, 2011

The ACM Multimedia 2011 conference, which will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona

from November 28th to December 1st 2011, is seeking entries for its Interactive

Art Exhibit. In this year's exhibit we are showing interactive or responsive

screen based works that align with one or more of the major content areas of the

conference (see below). We’re looking for works that actively engage the viewers

in real-time with images, sounds, interactions that may range from didactic to

highly abstract. The work should however provide some kind of additional

viewpoint or outlook on the conference content areas, and do so by providing an

interactive experience for researchers in attendance. 

Please pick one or more of these conference themes that align with your work:

http://www.acmmm11.org/content-areas.html 

1. Multi-Modal Integration and Understanding in The Imperfect World 

2. Media Analysis and Search 

3.   Scalability 

4. Multimedia Systems 

5. Media Transport and Sharing

6. Multimedia Security 

7. Media Authoring 

8. Location-based and Mobile Multimedia 

9. Social Interaction 

10.  Education 

While not required, we preferworks that can run entirely on one of our 

“interaction stations” which include a computer, display, and various 

input devices. This greatly simplifies the process of transporting your work 

to the conference. Selected artists will be invited to present at the conference. 

Attendance is strongly encouraged but not required. We have created “Interaction 

Stations” which consist of:

• Mac Mini (Can boot natively into MacOS, Windows, Linux) 

• 42 inch 1080p screen with a native resolution of 1920x1080, mounted 

at roughly head height

• A color webcam or a kinect camera mounted above towards the viewers

• WiFi internet access 

• Optional high quality microphone and speakers or headphones 

Interactive work, which runs on our interaction stations, could

potentially consist of max patches, processing sketches, openframeworks

software, or any custom software. Screen based works that are non-interactive,

(still images, sound work, single channel video) will also be considered. For

sound and video work, headphones can be provided for viewers.
