Papers

<DynamicPageList> mode = unordered category = Papers </DynamicPageList>

Here are three journals we should aim for related to interactive art:

Leonardo, MIT Press http://www.leonardo.info/leoinfo.html NOTE: this one also has 2 page short papers for CHI-like grad students. Carefully read what kinds of papers they accept — Tyler and my paper didn’t get published because it was simply not one of the types of papers they publish. It was about the Haptic Creature (furry robot). We weren’t the main developers/artists, and it also wasn’t quite theoretical enough either.

If you read the abstracts of any of the journals, you’ll see that most are written by artists or artists-scientists or both, about their own work. Some focus on the work itself and the artists’ intentions. (emphasis on artwork) Some focus on ideas that are explored through the art work. (emphasis on idea explored BY the artwork) Some are a little more CHI-like (I do mean “a little”), but would never be published by CHI.

Technoetic Arts (interactive art + consciousness, senses), Intellect (UK) http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-issue,id=2819/?utm_source=Visual+Arts+newsletter+March&utm_campaign=VANewsMarch&utm_medium=email Example articles: Floating Reverie: A networked curation experiment Digital hustling: ICT practices of hip hop artists in Grahamstown Technology arts education in South Africa: Mutant collaborations This is not an app, this is not an artwork: Exploring mobile selfie-posting software Disrupters, This is Disrupter X: Mashing up the archive ‘The Stone Sky’: Dwelling and habitation in other worlds Are we our fictions?: The narrative boundaries of self Excavating the ghost from the meat-covered skeleton: An aesthetic engagement with technologically mediated medical imagery

Digital Creativity, Routledge (UK) http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/digc;jsessionid=7avbakkcb1oos.alice Example articles (this was special issue re: museums) Between control and creativity: challenging co-creation and social media use in a museum context Fictional institutions and institutional frictions: creative approaches to open GLAMs Designing infrastructures for creative engagement Towards children's creative museum engagement and collaborative sense-making Participatory heritage innovation: designing dialogic sites of engagement Empathic negotiations through material culture: co-designing and making digital exhibits

International Journal of Arts and Technology, Inderscience http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJART Example articles: Supporting intense physical interaction in technology-enhanced therapeutic play Re-sensitising the body: interactive art and the Feldenkrais method. Dance interaction with physical model visuals based on movement qualities. Balancing justice: comparing whole body and controller-based interaction for an abstract domain
