Experimentopia Call for Proposals_
Date 10th July
EXPERIMENTOPIA is the theme of Experimenta's next International Biennial of Media Arts in 2009. Experimenta will be commissioning new works for up to $6,000 each to be included in our exhibition of exceptional Australian and international media artworks. Successful proposals for the commissions will respond to the exhibition theme, engage audiences, use technology creatively, and can be audio/visual, installation, or object-based. Preference will be given to proposals for interactive works.
In the rapidly shifting context of the beginning of the 21st Century - amidst personal, technological, economic, environmental, and political change – there are many different ways to move, directions to take, and personal choices to make. Located in the heart of this setting, Experimentopia asks: what matters to you?
Looking closely at your surroundings, both local and global, what would you fight for? What would you fight to prevent? What are you willing to put yourself on the line to protect or create? What is that world, neighbourhood, landscape, or object? And how does it look, sound, and feel?
Experimenta is inviting artists to create media artworks that allow audiences to engage with, act out, inhabit and experience utopic/dystopic scenarios and environments.
