Shadow Search
CIS in collaboration with NEWS announces an open call for proposals to explore the use of natural-language search algorithms that are able to find people and activities that embody the self-understanding of the kind of art we are seeking without specifically using the word art or a related vocabulary.
In particular this search engine would allow prospectors in the world of information and databases to discover ‘shadow art activities’ that are partially hidden, off-the-radar, stealthy.
The selection procedure will take place over several stages:
- 15th October 2009 – Call goes out, submissions can be uploaded at n.e.w.s.
- 15th November 2009 – Closing date for entries
- 20th November 2009 - Final Round submissions announced
- 23rd November 2009 – Winner(s) announced
Please send:
- A Pseudocode representation
- A plain text description no longer than 500 words
- If required, you can add a graphical representation along with the text
Please send all entries to: [email protected]
Cash Prize: EURO 1000
(the jury reserves the right not to award the prize if no submission fits the bill)
All submissions will be published online (with the exception of personal details)
