ABC Online’s POOOL Project for digital artists
Submissions are invited from regionally based artists to be
part of POOOL, an ABC online initiative for digital artists. POOOL is
seeking ‘Digital Artbites’ from rural and regional artists reflecting
developments and explorations in new media arts. Contributions can be from
individuals, collaborations or artist collectives of any age, and can
include digital stills, mobile art, animations, music, documentaries,
audio, text and video art, etc. Each contribution can be complete or
excerpted works of up to a maximum of 5 minutes duration. Your submission
does not have to be especially created for the POOOL project, it can be
something you made 1-2 years ago. There is no fee for artists publishing
on POOOL. All works will be published on a ‘rolling basis’ between 1 July
2007 and 1 July 2008.
