Deadline for submission (fim&video/projects): 31. May 2008
********************************************************************
Urban Screens Melbourne 08 is the third, ground-breaking
international conference and multimedia exhibition in a series of
worldwide events around the redefinition of a growing digital
infrastructure of moving images in public space. It will mark the
official launch of the International Urban Screens Association and
will take place 3.-8. October at Federation Square, Melbourne.
Federation Square is a unique cultural and community oriented
multimedia precinct, centred around a significant 38m2 public LED
screen.
CALL FOR FILM&VIDEO and MULTIMEDIA PROJECTS ********************
The Urban Screens 08 exhibition is looking for Artists, Urban
Poets, Filmmakers and Multimedia and Interaction Designers to
submit film and videos or multimedia, interactive or participatory
screen based projects. A large diverse urban screens infrastructure
is available at Federation Square.
Criteria
We are looking for existing and potentially adaptable projects that
interrogate screen media as a medium| content and tackle the
festival’s key themes of issues of building community and
sustainability in relation to water. These two complex themes aim
to provoke discussion and spark questions such as: What is
community in times of the high-speed, global flows of the new media
scape? How can we explore the diversity of water, an element,
essential to the existence of life on earth?
For a detailed description of the event and curatorial framework see
www.urbanscreens08.net/art-+-events
For a detailed description of Fed Squares infrastructure see
www.urbanscreens08.net/technical
The projects should preferably employ one or more of the listed
existing infrastructure of urban screens of Fed Square and should
consider and adapt to the special circumstances of outdoor public
spaces, transforming urban spaces to foster dialogue and community
engagement. We are looking for:
A) Film and video such as
- Video art, text art, animation, animated slideshows, or
fictional advertisements and community information (under 3 min.)
- Silent works especially for the joint broadcasting or daily
screenings in-between (under 3 min.)
- Short experimental films, documentary and journalistic content
(under 15 min.)
- Small curated programs of the mentioned type of works
B) Interactive, performance based or participatory projects such as
- Interactive software applications for urban screens
- Participatory community projects using creative digital practices
- Live media art merging performance and new media
- Community displays for education and exchange
- Virtual/real world hybrid projects using streaming content
- Real-time generated content
- Screen related sound experiments
- Digital storytelling projects
- Mobile games using urban space as social and educative playground
- Connecting mobile culture of locative media with urban screens
CALL FOR POSTERS ********************
To bridge the Conference and the Multimedia Exhibition, we are
looking for posters about the latest development of Urban Screens.
They will be displayed in a public exhibition in the Atrium next to
the conference venue. Conference will be encouraged to get in
exchange with the authors during the breaks. Eight submissions will
be additionally shown in an experimental presentation on the four
outdoor I-sites around Federation Square. These are equiped with an
integrated screen, which offer the possibility to present remotely
via scheduled skype sessions, while the audience gathers in groups
around them.
Criteria
Posters are aimed at presenting the latest development in this
interdisciplinary field of Urban Screens. Posters are ideal for
presenting speculative, late-breaking results of ongoing research
projects, drawing important conclusions from practical experiments,
for giving an introduction to innovative art works or new practical
design applications, reports on cutting edge technologies and
content management systems under development.
Posters will be reviewed by the Poster Committee, soon to be
announced. Authors of accepted submissions must provide a one or
two page summary for publication in the conference proceedings.
Selected submissions will also be published on-line on the
International Urban Screens Association website.
