(The law of conservation of energy)
RIXC Centre for New Media Culture is seeking manuscripts for the upcoming Acoustic Space journal entitled “ENERGY” (nr.8).
The journal will be published in between the previous Art+Comunication festival with the title ENERGY (organized by RIXC in 2009,) and the forthcoming 2010 festival conference – NETWORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY.

Following the theme of ENERGY, the next issue of 2010 will focus on different social and cultural aspects of energy in the contemporary human society, investigating the notion of ‘sustainable development’ from various perspectives – artistic, scientific, technological, architectural, environmental.
The print journal, Acoustic Space is a forum for new media culture and creative explorations in the networked (electro-acoustic, electromagnetic, wireless, radio, electronic) environments.
