Call for Submissions

SonicSENSE at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco: open-call for Processing visualizations for their TRANSMUTATIONS exhibition opening March 26, 2011.

We are currently accepting Processing visualizations to be exhibited with our up-coming exhibition TRANSMUTATIONS at the Gray Area Foundations of the Arts (GAFFTA) in San Francisco, CA. Submissions will be accepted throughout the duration of the exhibition, however priority will be given to sketches received by 3/15/11 for inclusion at the opening reception on March 26, 2011. Visualizations should include one or more of the following phenomena: stellar evolution, star structure, star properties, nuclear fusion, spectrum luminosity and or chemical composition of a star as an inspiration for the visualization. 

TRANSMUTATIONS builds upon an electronic information ecology framework consisting of a complex series of sound sculptures, machines, video projections and sensors that employ viewers' reactions as one of the interface systems. This interactivity produces a range of soundscapes, data projections and mechanical noises that collect and distribute media into the exhibition space at GAFFTA. Programming content for TRANSMUTATIONS will consist of sound files from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, data parsed from UCLA's research in upper atmosphere and space physics, audio from the California Library of Natural Sounds at the Oakland Museum of California, MAST astronomical data archive, and on-site data from sensors placed near the gallery.

*** SUBMISSIONS for inclusion at the opening reception must be received by 3/15/11. We will continue to accept submissions through May 9th. Accepted submissions will be projected on a rotating basis throughout the duration of the exhibition. Sound will be generated from data in you sketche(s) so please do not include audio in your submissions.

You can use your own data, mine it from on-line sites, (ie: http://sdss.lib.uchicago.edu/dr7/en/tools/started/, or you can use data that we’ve listed here on the righthand side>

Send all submissions via email to sonicSENSE@ultrafuzz.net

Please include a brief statement describing how your work addresses the topic for the open call and the data sets you are using if appropriate.

Please include your CV and brief bio.

The first round of submissions shall receive a reply by 3/20/11. The show will take place in March 26 – May 13, 2011. There will be an opening along with viewings by regular viewing hours and by appointment. Please acknowledge that we cannot accommodate all submissions.

*sonicSENSE and GAFFTA will not provide any financial assistance for artists or the creation of artworks.

 

 

DATA-SETS FOR STELLAR VISUALIZATIONS PROVIDED BY THE ARTS & PHYSICS LAB AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ

Age range of a star-life Masses of Star (relative to sun mass)
Stars' Luminosities
Temp of Star given its' age and mass (G) Stars gravity. If a star is 'puffy', or bigger than a star that is burning at the same temperature, its spectral lines will be closer together. G is the measure of how much closer together they
are.
