Stranger of the Month
Part of the 2008 Next Wave Festival - www.nextwave.org.au
Call for Expressions of Interest
Deadline: Friday 12th October 2007
Combining the collaborative impulse in contemporary art with
user-centric trends in new media, Stranger of the Month
draws upon the wisdom of the crowd.
Taking the stranger as its subject, artists conduct a viral
marketing campaign throughout media platforms to engage and
produce a community of participants. Through this process,
it becomes apparent that publics emerge by virtue of being
addressed; they are relational, not static.
Interaction with its publics will be entirely mediated;
artists may either inhabit social networking sites to
contact their participants, such as Facebook, or 43Things,
or alternately, they may use traditional spaces for public
broadcast, such as the classified sections of the local
newspaper or community bulletin boards.
Written instructions may stand-alone for their critical
merit, or alternatively invite a variety of responses from
participants. Both written instructions and generated
responses will be presented throughout public spaces such as
Federation Square, during the 2008 Next Wave Festival, and
be reproduced in an online instructional manual.
