<p class="MsoNormal">Taking up Andy’s invitation, I would like to hear from people interested in doing a panel on historic participatory computer art/technology projects or events, for the upcoming SHOT conference in Chicago.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The possible topics are wide open, and I don’t currently have anyone else lined up for this, so this is a genuine call for others who might be working in this space and keen to develop a panel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposals are due at the end of March, but I’ll be travelling the second half of the month, so the sooner the better!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am thinking of developing a paper on the International Painting Interaction undertaken as part of SIGGRAPH in Chicago in 1992. This was a large scale, networked event billed as 100 painters, video and electronic graphic artists, 3D animators,
and musicians in 14 cities world-wide joined electronically and interactively for 44 hours. If anyone has done any work on this, please shout out!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please contact me off list if you’re interested and we can discuss developing a panel proposal.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In case you did not receive the message below from SHOT, I am forwarding it to bring it to your attention. In past years, SIGCIS has served as a “sponsor” for panel submissions for the main SHOT conference. If you are going to submit
a panel and would like the SIGCIS seal of approval, please contact me. Also, individual scholars can and should use this mailing list to float ideas and recruit panelists. If you’re feeling shy, or want some feedback/suggestions before reaching out to the
whole list, please feel free to contact me. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, SIGCIS will continue its tradition of hosting a Sunday workshop on the final day of the SHOT conference - this year, the date is October 29, 2017. We will issue a call for papers in the coming months, so please keep that in mind.
And if you are craving more SIGCIS in the meantime, stay tuned for the program and other announcements related to the SIGCIS meeting at the Computer History Museum on March 18-19, 2017!<o:p></o:p></p>

technology in history and society. We explore the production, circulation, appropriation, maintenance and abandonment of technology under specific historical circumstances. And we scrutinize the epistemic, economic, social, cultural and political conditions
of this development. Our approaches are informed by a broad concept of technology encompassing knowledge resources, practices, artefacts and biofacts, i.e. artefacts in the realm of the living. Accordingly, the Program Committee invites paper and session proposals
on any topic in a broadly defined history of technology, including topics that push the boundaries of the discipline. Submitters are encouraged to propose sessions that include a diverse mix of participants: multinational origins, gender, graduate students
and junior scholars with senior scholars, significantly diverse institutional affiliations, etc.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">To pay tribute to the venue of the 2017 annual meeting - Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed - we want to encourage proposals that engage topics
related to technology, democracy and participation. The birthplace of the oldest participatory democracy is the ideal setting for reflecting on, and interrogating, the overlapping subjects of technology, democracy, and participation. Philadelphia was not only
the first capital of the United States, but also an early capital of industrialization and the accompanying transformations of work, skill, creation and maintenance, all of which continue to shape modern participation in the world. Commercial systems, slave
economies, and immigration patterns developed locally alongside complex technologies of production and infrastructure in Philadelphia. Industrialization also led to an era of increased human intervention in the environment, now referred to as the Anthropocene.
City and region participated in the cyclical expansion and contraction of global trade and supply chains of commodities, labor, and cultures. As other urban and rural, industrialized and agricultural polities have historically contended with similar forces
of change, and transnational networks have carried the impacts of modernization agendas to both willing and unwilling communities, the cultural embrace of technology, notions of democracy, and ideologies of participation have played out in myriad ways around
the world. These cultural commitments and their interactions, as seen in Philadelphia's history and across a wide range of other global settings, thus form an appropriate theme for the 2017 SHOT meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
