Dear Michel,
we have extended deadline for ENERGY publication - now it is March 31, 2010,



(((((((((((((((((((( acoustic space 8 ))))))))))))))))))))

CALL FOR PAPERS:

ENERGY. Scientific and artistic, utopian and critical visions of future
terrestrial energy.
Acoustic Space (Issue nr. 8)

       "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be
transformed."
       (The law of conservation of energy)

RIXC Centre for New Media Culture is seeking manuscripts for the upcoming
Acoustic Space journal entitled "ENERGY" (nr.8).

The journal will be published in between the previous Art+Comunication
festival with the title ENERGY (organized by RIXC in 2009, http://rixc.lv/09)
and the forthcoming 2010 festival conference - NETWORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY.
This conference event will be held in Riga, June 16-18, 2010 (moderated by
Armin Medosch and Rasa Smite), and it will be a part of the 6th European
Meeting of SLSA (the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts) taking
place in Riga and Liepaja, Latvia, June 15-20, 2010 (
http://www.e-text-textiles.lv/SLSAeu2010/home.htm).

Following the theme of ENERGY, the next issue of 2010 will focus on
different social and cultural aspects of energy in the contemporary human
society, investigating the notion of 'sustainable development' from various
perspectives - artistic, scientific, technological, architectural,
environmental.

The print journal, Acoustic Space is a forum for new media culture and
creative explorations in the networked (electro-acoustic, electromagnetic,
wireless, radio, electronic) environments.
For the second time, Acoustic Space journal will come out as 'peer review'
(refereeing) publication. It will be published by the MPLab (Art Research
Lab) of Liepaja University in collaboration with the RIXC, The Center for
New Media Culture.
