Hello everyone,
Please take note that this project will be going on for a year so if you do not have anything ready for this call, feel free to submit works to be considered for future programming.
Urban Projections Artengine is currently seeking submissions for a projectable media arts series titled Urban Projections. With our recent move to the heart of the city, Ottawas Byward Market, Artengine is looking for works that survey its new surroundings. Works exhibited in Urban Projections will question and explore the city as a subject: its architecture, its people, and/or the ways in which it is inhabited. We will gladly accept works that employ live streaming, PureData ,Max/MSP patches and video. Artworks will be projected onto the 2nd storey windows of the Artengine lab during the evening (on the corner of York and Byward). The audience will be artists, art lovers and the masses of unsuspecting locals, tourists and nightlife seekers who pass by our central location every evening. Works will also be presented on small monitors in the stairwell of the Mercury Lounge (downtown down lounge).
Deadline for submissions: June 20th Submissions should include: -Artist statement -Documentation of project -technical specs
Please keep in mind that we will not be able to accommodate any sound components for this series. Please communicate any heavy technical requirements prior to deadline. Works will be exhibited every night at sundown from July 1st to September 30th.
