About the Proposals
We are seeking project proposals that creatively address issues related to the themes of Reading and Noise. While the format of the journal is meant to explore innovative modes of multimedia scholarship, we are not necessarily looking for projects that are about new media. Rather, we are interested in the various ways that ‘old’ and ‘new’ technologies suggest a transformation of scholarship, art, and communication practices and their relevance to everyday life in an unevenly mediated world.

Applicants are encouraged to think beyond the computer screen to consider possibilities created by the proliferation of wireless technology, handheld devices, etc. Projects may translate existing scholarly work or be entirely conceived for new media. We are particularly interested in projects that reimagine the role of the user and seek to reach broader publics. Work that creatively explores innovations in interactivity, cross-disciplinary collaboration, or scholarly applications for newly developing scientific or engineering technologies is also encouraged.

Proposals should include the following:

- Title of project and a one-sentence description.

- A 3-5 page description of the project concept, goals, and outcomes. This description should address questions of audience and innovative uses of interactivity, address, and form. Please also clearly state the project’s argument and its contribution to multimedia scholarship and, more generally, to contemporary scholarship in your field. This description must include an explanation of how a digital format is integral to the goals of your project.
