Deadline for proposals February 14
This project will consider how cities can use mobile and locative art to regenerate areas that have been bypassed by new economies and flows of commerce and transit. It will also address issues of disconnection, asking who is able to connect and who is dislocated from public space.
Seeking submissions of artists’ visual or audio works that can reside online to be linked via QR-codes, but also might lend themselves to additional content that can be printed, projected or reproduced by other means to transform designated storefronts that link to respective web-based or interactive artist projects. Artist proposals will be selected based on the following criteria:
- conceptual merits and relevance to the theme of dis/location
- artistic/design merits as web-based content
- level of interactivity and engagement with participating audience
Preliminary proposals should include:
- a detailed project description (300 words or less)
- short bio/cv (150 words)
- Up to 10 examples of previous existing work (jpeg, mp3, quicktime video)
- rough budget
Questions and submissions should be sent to dislocationsphila@gmail.com, subject line: DISLOCATIONS Submission.
