[Ada_list] Call for Film/Video Submissions- Quick Response Needed

Call for Film/Video Submissions- Quick Response Needed


The Number 8 Collective is currently in residence at Casa Tres Patios arts
project space in Medellin, Colombia. We have been asked to collate a series
of short films/videos around the thematic of water to screen at a film
evening evening at Casa Tres Patios. This is part of a larger project, see
below for a bit more detail. So send us a link so we can preview you work
if you are keen in participating. We need link by Friday 1st June. From
there we will be in contact with Drop Box details.

The Un Litro de Agua project premise is to initiate and support dialogue
between Colombian, New Zealand artists and the wider public through a
series of collaborative arts events.
Through the thematic of water, Un Litro de Agua explores similarities and
differences between cultures with an emphasis on shared aquatic
environments  locally and globally. The reflexive nature of the project
draws together artists with an eclectic range of concepts as diverse in
origin as they are in their rendering.
Un Litro de Agua is a Number 8 Collective project supported by Casa Tres
Patios, Medellín, Colombia.
Cheers Ana Terry & Don Hunter (#8C)

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

What is interesting is that this highly visible display of wealth transfer
(stockmarket reports, or the art work itself) is happening at a
corporate/private level, (increasingly so with the worldwide privatisation
of state assets) yet the fortunes of the public are increasingly dependent
on this very system they are being excluded from.

cheers,
Colin

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

Hi Zita and ADA's.

Some of Lettingspace's series of works might fit your interest - and more
specifically, the project I did with them last year - Market Testament -
which was an installation/intervention that broke into the inner
architecture of a Wellington office block and ran the building's lighting
system via a data feed conversion of the day's stock market activity.

Interestingly to me the work appropriated the building's architecture
without changing its form - from the outside the building might appear to
be untouched, but it was being driven by a unique agency - that of stock
market changes. In the sense of public space - I find it interesting that
the private/public boundary is blurred - this private space broadcasts
publicly by its visibility, but the broadcast itself is hermetically sealed
within the building's insulating glass walls. In a way both
inviting/teasing (the curtains are left undrawn) and yet gated.

Letting Space commissioned an essay by Martin Patrick:

Re: [Ada_list] Media art and the city?

There was a project in christchurch c1993, where the city was treated as a
magazine. Different building walls were used as different pages. Imight be
wrong but i think Kate Fielder helped curate it.

Greyworld from London do a lot of interesting work. Some older pieces i
really liked were Sound awards where they asked people to nominate certain
places with interesting recurring sounds to nominate them for a sound
award. they also tuned the rails of a fence to play the girl from epanema
as you ran a stick along it.

not sure if this is the sort of thing that you were after...

[Ada_list] Media art and the city?

Dear ADA

I'm doing some research into, broadly, media art + the city: media artists and projects that engage with public space and / or the fabric of a city,

and I'm hoping to do some crowdsourcing / discussing here : )

Obvously as I'm in Christchurch I'm particularly interested in projects that relate to recovery, remembering, reimagining, and looking to the future, but any suggestions, recommendations, reflections would be most appreciated!

Thanks
Zita
