CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
THE BIG M - NEW PROGRAMME & TOUR 2002/03
DEADLINE: MONDAY 18 MARCH 2002
Isis Arts is seeking submissions of short video works for presentation in
The Big M, an inflatable and mobile touring venue that presents contemporary
video and digital media.
From motion pictures to mega pixels, The Big M celebrates moving image
culture and the possibilities for experimentation created by digital
technologies. Unique in both design and function, The Big M provides an
alternative to the conventional gallery setting.
Via a touch-screen interface, viewers choose their own programme by
selecting individual works, each with a running time of 5 minutes or less.
Three video projectors show work on DVD in a three screen arrangement with
stereophonic sound.
Since June 2000, The Big M has toured to over 20 sites in the UK and Europe
and was seen by more than 30,000 people. The inaugural programme featured 21
works by 16 artists (for images & programme details, please see
www.isisarts.org.uk).
We are now seeking 10 - 15 new works that push the boundaries of video
production and challenge conventional attitudes towards broadcast media. The
programme will not be thematic - it will show the variance of practice
within the field and appeal to broad audiences.
In order to be considered, individual works must:
have a running time of not more than 5 minutes (shorter works are
encouraged);
be single channel and non-interactive;
be completed since January 2000;
For submission guidelines & further information: www.isisarts.org.uk or
[log in to unmask] or 0044 (0) 191 200 7349.
