WindowZoos: Open Call
About WindowZoos
For the exhibition "Window Zoos", the DAW International is looking for a few additional artworks that use Augmented Reality and Geo Tagged images. The project "WindowZoos" is inspired by an image of a car driving down Singapore’s legendary Orchard Road with its windshield plastered with stickers of popular cartoon characters. In keeping with the idea of the car and the experience it provides those inside it, a concept was developed to transform Orchard Road into a virtual exhibition by overlaying the entire road with geo-tagged media common to game technologies and augmented reality systems. Like the car's windshield, participants' mobile device screens become windows onto the virtual world that is emerging around us, expanding our notion of what constitutes public space and how art can be exhibited. Whether traveling by vehicle or by foot, artworks will augment the "stop and go" journey down the road adding to the hustle and bustle of the people and the glare and flash of window displays and neon signs.
Submission Procedure
Thematically, the theme and content of the works is open. We particularly welcome works that are suited for presentation in Singapore. All artworks must be finished and submitted and peer reviewed by the appointed jury. Only the best-finished and publicly accessible work will be accepted and included in the show. All accepted works will be included on a comprehensive tour map of the works will be provided with QR Code keying so that visitors can easily select the works positioned along the segments of Orchard Road in Singapore.
Submission deadline: March 17, 2013 Application by email:exhibit.windowzoos@gmail.com Email attachments should not exceed 4 MB, image files in 300 dpi

The event provided a fertile ground for international networking on both the culutral, politcal and scientific levels and brought Swiss cultural and technology to China in a blend of culutral exchange in reagard to tradtion and innovation.
The exhibition was crowned with a prize for „Innovation in Science & Art“ awarded by Shanghai Association for Science and Technology.

"The Digital Art Weeks (DAW), an annual event organized by the ETH Zurich, presented a variety of art, technology and the ideas that bridge both through workshops, symposiums, exhibitions, soundscapes and performances. A Finnisage held at the former power plant ewz- Selnau wrapped up the events. From 10-14 July 2007 the city of Zurich was transformed into what the DAW set out to create, “a meeting point between art and technology.”

"Während das Zürcher «Tweakfest» diesen Frühling die Medienkunst mit der (Kreativ-)Wirtschaft engführte, sind die vom Lehrstuhl Computersysteme der ETH Zürich organisierten «Digital Art Weeks» an der Schnittstelle der Medienkunst mit Natur- und Computerwissenschaften angesiedelt. Das Festival überzeugte in seiner vierten Ausgabe durch die Vielfalt der medienkünstlerischen Positionen und die Konsequenz, mit der Symposium, Ausstellungsorte und Abendveranstaltungen aufeinander bezogen waren"
