IF AL GORE CAN DO IT, WE CAN DO IT BETTER. WHAT: Artists and activists are asked to submit outrageous, playful, somber, or weird slide show lectures (aka Powerpoint/Keynote) about sustainable living, local foods, carbon emissions, ecological issues, green design, etc.
CONTEXT: This will be part of a 4-day exhibition called "You're not as green as you are cabbage looking", in which a Washington DC art gallery will be transformed into a mock accountants' office (H&R Cabbage), where visitors will be able to receive a report of their carbon footprint. MEDIA: Video documentation of slide lecture/presentation or live performance of slide lecture/presentation. Running time should be 3-10 minutes. WHEN & WHERE: Screening of presentations will take place at Transformer Gallery in Washington DC on Thursday 2 August 2007, 6:30-8:00 WHY: If Al Gore could do it, we can do it better. The presentations should interpret environmental subjects broadly: taking wild creative liberties, giving a straightforward presentation chock full of information, or a little of both. How can we exploit the theatrical, educational, or absurd aspects of this type of information architecture? DEADLINE: Please submit videos (NTSC mini-DV, VHS, or DVD) or detailed proposals for live performances of your slide lecture postmarked by 20 July 2007. If you propose a live presentation, please keep in mind that there is no stipend or funding for travel to Washington DC. Only submissions with SASE will be returned.
