>ACM Multimedia 2007 is the premier annual multimedia conference,
>covering all aspects of multimedia computing. The ACM MM
>Interactive Art Program seeks to bring together the arts and
>multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and
>push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology
>through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology.
>
>This fourth version of the Interactive Art Program will consist of
>an art exhibition and a conference track. We invite artists working
>with digital media and researchers in technical areas to submit
>their original contributions to the following tracks:
>
>¥ Multimedia art exhibition: ÒI / Other / Group.Ó We seek artworks
>that use multimedia to explore issues of 
>self-exploration, self- presentation towards 
>another, the self in a group or the group as a
>self. We particularly seek interactive multimedia works that by
>combining multiple media, technologies, and novel technical ideas,
>realize strong artistic concepts that give a new perspective on the
>topic of the exhibition.
>Deadline for submission to the Art Exhibition: May 8, 2007
>
>¥ Conference track: we solicit papers describing interactive
>multimedia artworks, tools, applications, and technical approaches
>for creative uses of multimedia content and technology as well as
>technical approaches for the management of art-related media
>collections. Emphasis will be given to novel works that use a rich
>variety of media and those that are interactive, particularly works
>that exploit non-conventional human-computer interfaces or sensors
>in new and emerging areas. We strongly encourage papers with a
>strong technical content written by artists. Papers may be long (10
>pages) or short (2 to 4 pages). Long papers are presented in front
>of an audience and short papers are presented in poster format.
