Banff Centre Locative Cinema Commission deadline Aug 3
The Banff New Media Institute is soliciting proposals for the Locative Cinema Commission, a joint project of ZER01: The Art and Technology Network, the Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre, and the New Frontier program at the Sundance Institute.
From their site:
The 2010 01SJ Biennial has issued a challenge to Build Your Own World, claiming that the future is not about what’s next; it’s about what we can build to ensure that what’s next matters. Fundamental to the conjuring of such worlds is the way in which the artistic imagination can use the tools at hand to provide access to ideas, methods for exchanging new interpretations, and markers that allow people to navigate between mixed reality and hard imagination.
The Locative Cinema Commission encourages artists to explore the narratives of place and space and seek new forms of description and experience. All variations on how to present your work will be considered, from cell phones to the black box of the cinema, from mixed reality to street theatre, from GPS to handhelds, from distributed to ambient. Proposals will be evaluated on their ability to engage people using place as a key element of the experience.
The commission includes a residency at Banff, to be completed by July 2010. Application deadline is August 3. For more information, see Banff NMI.
