The Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP) is Australia's pre-eminent
festival dedicated to showcasing innovative works of art in the areas of
new media, electronic screen, sound and interactive media and is the
largest and most visionary electronic arts event in the region.

Through a broad program of exhibitions, conferences and public talks,
BEAP provides a focus for discussion and exploration of the emergent
aesthetic, social and technological implications that surround the
electronic arts, in all its possible forms, whether visual, audio,
interactive, temporal, experiential, digital, 'bio' or 'nano'.

The Computers in Art and Design Education (CADE) conference is a major
international event for those interested in the exploration of ideas at
the intersection of pedagogy, arts, design, science, and technology. The
2007 conference will provide a focus for shared learning, dialogue and
interaction that directly informs professional methodologies and
practice.

In 2007 CADE partners with the Biennale for its first conference outside
Europe, creating a new focus for exploring the latest research and
practice within creative arts education at the point where the 'digital'
is both a challenge and a strength. 

Perth, the capital of the state of Western Australia, has a distinct
creative community that celebrates the uniqueness of Western Australia's
stunning bio-diverse environment and combines Indigenous, European and
Southeast Asian cultures.

Internationally recognised for its commitment to research in bio and
electronic arts in tertiary education, Perth welcomes delegates to
explore and reflect on global perspectives from a pivotal point within
the Asia-Pacific region.

============== 
Conference theme 
============== 

We invite educators, theorists and creative arts practitioners to meet
in Perth, Australia, to explore the paradox of "Stillness."

"Stillness" is the theme for the 2007 Biennale. The concept of
"stillness" will become an anchor for events in the ceaseless flows of
data and provide a reflective moment for new ideas to emerge and
interact, explode or coalesce, blossom or fade. 

BEAP will be supporting and encouraging a community of artists to
explore: 
        *       Stillness as Sound 
        *       Stillness as Bio 
        *       Stillness as Data 
        *       Stillness as Duration 

CADE will challenge you to confront these conceptual issues. 

=========== 
Call for papers 
=========== 
We invite contributions for paper presentations, posters and panel
discussions that address the conference theme of "stillness." Papers
should provide theoretical understanding, analysis and documentation of
creative arts and digital technologies and related contexts for
educational development.

The term creative arts includes: new media, multimedia, web design,
interactive arts, computer games and mixed media performance and
traditional disciplines (such as fine arts, sculpture, photography,
printmaking, fashion and textiles, graphic design, illustration, 3D
design, product design interior design, architecture, drama, theatre,
dance and music).

All submitted abstracts, poster submissions and papers will be double
blind peer reviewed by an international panel. Submissions accepted and
presented at the conference will be published in the conference
proceedings.

500-word abstracts required by 12 January 2007 
Full submission can be made through the conference website.
