[Microsound-announce] call for audio artists/musicians - vague terrain 04: the body digital

[Neil Wiernik]

Context:

In his 1964 text "Understanding Media" media theorist & future-caster
Marshall McLuhan stated that electricity was an extension of the nervous
system.  The next issue of Vague Terrain is dedicated to continuing this
line of thought and exploring both the interface and friction between
contemporary digital technology and the body.  Vague Terrain 04: the
body digital will serve as a catalog of new conceptions of the
intersection between the physical and digital realms, one in which the
body is read as a dataset, instrument, and host to new economies and
discourses.

The Call:

Vagueterrain.net's fourth issue will be entitled "the body digital" and
we are currently seeking the work of audio artists and musicians whose
work deals with the interface between the body and contemporary
technology to showcase in this issue.  Vague Terrain 04: the body
digital will be published online in early September 2006 so work would
need to be submitted by mid August.  Vague Terrain audio submissions
generally consist of 30-40 minutes of original sound/music which is
distributed through our publication via an author sanctioned creative
commons license.

Please see http://www.vagueterrain.net for more information about the
scope of our publication.

If you are interested in contacting us regarding submitting audio work
to this issue, or have any questions please contact us ONLY via
submit at vagueterrain.net regarding your submission.

Thanks for your time!
