Call for Online Digital Media: ‘Ubuntu’ at FLEFF 2008 – deadline 1 November 2007
Radically reconfigured for the 21st century in 2006, the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) is a multimedia festival that explores the theme of sustainability and the environment within a large global conversation that embraces a range of political, economic, social, and aesthetic issues, including labour, war, health, disease, intellectual property, software, remix culture, economics, archives, HIV/AIDS, women’s rights, and human rights.
‘Ubuntu’, the online digital media exhibition for FLEFF 2008, takes its name from Bantu-language African philosophies that foreground interconnectedness and interdependence through expressions such as ‘a person is a person through persons’ and ‘I am because we are’. The exhibition applies this conception of intersubjectivity to explore understandings of environmentalism—ways that it affects us collectively, suggesting that online digital media can affect awareness and positive change.
The curators of ‘Ubuntu’ are looking for submissions of online digital/new media art and video that explore issues related to the four ‘content streams’ of this year’s festival: camouflage, counterpoint, games, and gastronomica. (See details below.) We are particularly interested in collaborative work, interactive work, multiscreen or multilinear work, and work that underscore the aesthetics of the political and the politicisation of the aesthetic. Submissions from artists living and working in the global South are of particular interest. Selected works will be exhibited and archived on the festival’s official web site.

Broadway Video Joiners
Jeff Sutton
Inspired by the photographic joiners of David Hockney and by panoramas created on holiday as a child, Jeff has applied these techniques to video production, adding time and movement to create beautiful composites of a space.
Jeff has concentrated on the use of light in dark spaces, interested in the contrast between the screen and the silhouettes of the audience, both in the cinema and the bar.
Jeff is coming from a background in video production and installation art. He has worked on a wide range of creative video-based projects and commissions, including video work for MTV, Channel 4 and visual projections for the Coldcut world tour and the Big Chill.
Bar Screen

Barret Hodgson
Digital Broadway is presenting a joint commission between video artist Barret Hodgson and The Media Archive for Central England, Leicester.

Barret graduated from the Creative Collaborations MA and now heads Vent media, a company specialising in digital video production, live cinema, graphic design and installation.
Digital Broadway is curated and commissioned by Anna Petry and Jeanie Finlay with the support of the Arts Council England.
