Callout: Video Pool Thematic Call for Submissions – Off the Grid: The Creative Misuse of Technology

Video Pool Media Arts Centre
Call for Submissions – 2007/08 Programming
Theme – Off the Grid: The Creative Misuse of Technology

Deadline: March 23, 2007

Contemporary culture is permeated by a fascination with media and
trends in consumer electronics. Media artists often follow their own
fascination with technology and its creative potential into uncharted
territory. In an effort to free themselves from the technical and
aesthetic restraints of conventional approaches, artists create new
processes, strategies and systems for dealing with media. Technology
is creatively misused and repurposed; found or antiquated media is
reused and reinterpreted; and traditional approaches to media are
hacked, bent and reprogrammed to create unique artistic results.

Video Pool is inviting submissions on the theme Off the Grid: The
Creative Misuse of Technology for the 2007/08 programming season.

Video Pool invites submissions of:

New Media

Experimental Electronics

Installation (with media components)

Audio Art

Curatorial packages (with media components)

Video Pool’s 2007/08 programming season will include three programs
specifically focused on new media performance and single channel film
and video in the following three categories:

1. Machinima
Film and video made using avatars and/or video game environments.

2. Performance Lecture
Performances that bend the usual accoutrements of academic lectures –
slide shows, power point presentations, video clips, etc., – to
critically reflect on the form of the lecture and props used to support
intellectual authority.

3. Camera-free film and video
Submissions may explore the range of camera-free image manipulation –
from well established film techniques such as hand processing and
optical printing to computer-based image manipulation in programs such
as After Effects.


Submission Requirements
Due to funding requirements, primary consideration will be given to
Canadian citizens.

All submissions must include:

1. C.V. or artist resumé including current contact information
(address, telephone # and e-mail) for the artist/curator.

2. A short description of the project or video(s) including an outline
of the project’s curatorial and/or critical objectives.

3. The project and/or video title(s).

4. Artist’s name(s).

5. Project/video year(s) of completion and city(s) of origin.

6. Project’s exhibition history and any other contexts in which the
work will be presented in the coming year.

7. A statement indicating if the artist(s)/curator(s) plan to be in
attendance with the work and if so in what capacity they would expect
to participate in the screening/exhibition.

8. Support material: Please do not send originals. Video Pool will not
accept responsibility for the loss of or damage to, support material.
- still images should be submitted on CD.
- Video support material should be NTSC and submitted on either VHS,
Mini DV or DVD.
