DIGITAL BROADWAY is now seeking applications to its DIGITAL COMMISSIONS.

Broadway Cinema and Media Centre Nottingham has launched DIGITAL BROADWAY, its new exhibition programme of digital art and moving image. Broadway now has 4 distinct areas to exhibit moving image artwork within the building:

The Glass Screen - Large scale projections on the glazed front of the building. Viewable from the street and inside the Mezzanine bar.

The Bar Screen - large projections in the popular ground floor cafe bar space.

The Small Screens - an LCD screen network located around the building.

Cinema Screen - Monthly screenings of artists’ film and video (last Tuesday each month)

We are looking to commission exclusive art work for Broadway’s Bar Screen and Glass Screen.

6 x Glass Screen commissions at £1000 each. The work will be shown for six weeks.

8 x Bar Screen commissions at £500 each. The work will be shown for four weeks.

These commissions are possible with the assistance of Arts Council England funding.

We are also looking to curate a wide range of new and existing artists’ film and video, short films and networked art works on the Small Screens and welcome your submissions Cinema Screen.

DIGITAL BROADWAY’s visual direction is ambitious and iconic and we are interested in work that goes beyond the cinema screen, animates the widely used public building and creates links between the cinema, moving image and digital art.

Please visit the Broadway website for more: https://www.broadway.org.uk/digital_arts

You are open to apply for more one than one Call for Entries separately, but can only be selected for one.

Places are available for the Methods Network funded workshop on

REAL TIME COLLABORATIVE ART MAKING

Date: July 20th 2007
Venue: The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design
Organiser: Dr. Gregory Sporton

This workshop is focused on developing and applying technologies in the Visual and Performing Arts, exploring technologies that can be adapted for use in the arts and networking technologies being developed for use in the blurred area between the visual and performing arts.

The workshop is geared for artists and academics in the visual and performing arts who are interested in the potential of networked technologies as a creative platform. The workshop will support and encourage work in this area, introduce some of the technologies and demonstrate applications. This is a free workshop but registration is required and numbers are limited, so please register as soon as possible.

More information and a link to the registration form is available at: http://www.biad.uce.ac.uk/vru/collaborativeart/index.php

riverIsland is a navigable text movie composed from transliteral morphs with a few interliteral graphic morphs. It is a spatialized aural poetic environment in which you may also investigate procedures of textual transformation associated with translation, which are here proposed as transliteral.

riverIsland has been rewritten for QuickTime, June 2007 - Version 1.0

Please contact John with comments, bug reports and suggestions.

“If you were to make use of geotagged audio, what would you use it for? What kind of interfaces into a geotagged audio database would interest you?”
