Experimenta media release

2004 New Visions Commissions

Experimenta is calling for proposals from ACT digital and new media artists, filmmakers, video makers, animators, visual designers and architects for the development of new media artworks for inclusion in our next major exhibition in 2005.

We are seeking new media art projects that explore the concept of illusions in all its forms - optical, sensory and aural. We are particularly interested in projects that not only evoke wonder, magic and mystery, but also attempt to uncover issues of social and political relevance.

What illusions exist in our world today? How do they affect our lives? What do they reveal about our current existence? What illusionary experiences can be created through media art works?

Seven projects will be funded and developed in collaboration with an industry partner.

To submit a proposal, download an application form from www.experimenta.org.

Deadline: 12 July 2004
