Animate OPEN: Digitalis
19.05.2011
Animate Projects is pleased to announce a call for its first online exhibition selected from an open submission.
We are looking for works that - in a broad sense - explore, question, subvert or confound our expectations of art and the ‘digital’. Or which might be ‘anti’ the digital, emphasising the handmade, physically crafted.
The Animate OPEN is part of Digitalis, a strand of activities for 2011 that have a focus on the potential of the digital space as a site for artistic production.
The Animate OPEN is for complete works by UK-based artists, animators and filmmakers, produced since January 2009.
A Jury will select up to ten films for exhibition and there will be two cash prizes - one awarded by the Jury (£1000), and an Audience Prize (£300), open to a public vote. Each artist included in the exhibition will be paid a £100 fee.
Selected films will be presented online at animateprojects.org, along with short interviews with the artists. Selected films and artists will be featured in a ‘newspaper’ catalogue and may also be included in Animate OPEN: Digitalis screenings and events.
Animate OPEN: Digitalis will be online from July 2011.
Deadline for submission is 10am Monday 20 June.
Please download the guidelines and submission form in the opportunities section.
