ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

NCCA PHILIPPINE ARTS FESTIVAL
(PAF2008) / WEBSINING 2008
OPEN CALL FOR COMPUTER/DIGITAL ART

Have you created computer/digital art and would like to share your unique, innovative and courageous work with others doing similar work?

Would you like to exhibit your work together with other digital artists creating works beyond competition or commercial motivation?

Would you like your work to converse and interact with other works in a curated national traveling exhibition?

As part of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts-PAF2008 celebration, WEBSINING announces the Open Call for Computer/Digital Art!

The Open Call is open to works of various formats, including still digital image, animation, software art or aesthetic programs, web or net art, ASCII art, sound art and experimental forms of computer art) on the theme: "PROCESS/YON", a play on the concepts of “process” (change, movement) and “procession” (a public movement according to a formal or ritual ceremony).

The general rule on submission formats is for the work to be transmissible, executable and viewable through the Internet. Thus for static images, for example, these should be optimized for web-based viewing and not for printing. For software art, these should be executable/accessible via a browser. For animation, video and sound, these should be in formats suited to streaming. In principle, the works should take into consideration the Internet and the computer as creative mediums.

If you are an artist using FOSS and/or create art that is distributed under GPL or Creative Commons licenses, we encourage you to participate. Your work will be presented in a special category.

Filipinos working and residing outside the country, especially the large community of OFW creative workers: visual artists, graphic designers, digital animators, programmers, and entertainers - are also encouraged to participate.

"Connect the Dots" by Jong Pairez, Filipino artist working in Japan.

Works submitted to the Open Call will be exhibited on the WEBSINING website. The works will also be shown at the Philippine Arts Festival celebration in February 2008 and will be included in the WEBSINING: PROCESS/YON CDROM-Catalog. All participating artists will receive a copy of the CDROM-Catalog.

Queries about the Open Call may be sent to processyon@websining.net.

Submission duration is from January 15 to February 15, 2008.

SUBMISSION PROCESS:

Copy and fill-up the Submission Form below, and send on or before February 15, 2008 to processyon@gmail.com.

THE WEBSINING TRADITION:

An important aspect of the WEBSINING tradition is to encourage new developments in the use of modern technology in the creation and distribution of art. The Open Call for Computer/Digital Art opens WEBSINING and the public to a broader range of digital art formats that do not easily conform to the mechanics of a contest. WEBSINING is also hosting experimental workshops and forums to encourage and support artists in their development of a wider approach to art and technology within a local cultural context.

ABOUT WEBSINING: PROCESS/YON:

WEBSINING: PROCESS/YON is a National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) funded project, involving collaboration between the Foundation for Media Alternatives (FMA) and Korakora.org. It is part of the NCCA-Philippine Arts Festival celebration and is intended to expand and develop Philippine digital art practices within the continually evolving WEBSINING tradition initiated by the National Committee on Visual Arts (NCVA) in 2005.
