GEEK CHIC
GEEK CHIC MONTHLY DIGITAL ARTS FESTIVAL AT LOOP
Loop Bar in Melbourne is presenting ‘Geek Chic’ an outdoor Digital Arts Festival to be held on the last Sunday of each month during spring this year. The laneway outside loop will be closed off around 5pm on each of the Sundays and filled with a variety of art forms including performance, screen-based and interactive works. As part of the festival and in conjunction with Tape Projects, submissions are sought by emerging video/new media artists to be a part of an outdoor screening that will take place each night during the festival. Artists are invited to respond to the era of the silent film. In particular its technically immature yet exploratory and adventurous attributes that enabled artists to capture a freshness and newness that challenges today’s artists. All video works will be projected in the laneway outside loop and must be silent. The audience will not be seated but free to move around and interact with the projection. Interactive works are encouraged. Be as playful as your imagination will allow and create with wide-eyed wonderment.
To contribute, fill out a Tape Projects submission form (available off the website) and add Loop? to the list ‘this work is to be used for’.
Submission deadline: 10th September, 2007
