VideoSoundArchive 2021 Season 1 - Open Call

A working archive dedicated to video and sound works that reconsiders the current restructures and parameters. Season 1 will be our experimental inauguration. We are calling for video and sound artworks (up to 10 minutes).

To encourage a literal pause in life and ‘mindful use of this easily accessible medium’ by underscoring critical thought and creation. Leaning away from social media and insta- “content creation” (vanity metrics) we hope to allow a straightforward space without the unnecessary pressure of views/likes.

Requirements

-Videos should be linked to either your website or vimeo.
- We will not be selecting the still (paused image) from the video. You will need to send an image of your choice (a paused place in your video).
- Submitted works must include both video and sound in the same piece.
- Videos should not be longer than 10 minutes.
- Archives will exist on this website indefinitely. Our goal is to create a space for likeminded artists to find others working in the same medium. (please send us updated links if your domains or hosting platforms change)
- There is no cost associated with submitting or having your work remain in the archive. We want this to be accessible and useful for all.
- Please no artist headshots or documentation. It must be a still image from the submitted video.
- We will not have any ownership or rights associated with the submitted image. The still sent to us will belong to the Artist.
