60X60 Call for Music and Video
60 second sound works and 60 second videos are being sought from composers and artists living and/or working in New England, USA: CT, RI, MA, NH, VT & ME. project description: conceptual focus: an exploration of intentionality and randomness live event/exhibit: 60 sound pieces and 60 videos will be selected and intentionally paired based on the curators’ responses to both media. These 60 sound & video pieces are intended for presentation or installation in a wide variety of venues. web installation: a web site (currently under development) will be constructed using these same 60 sound and video pieces. The web interface will allow visitors to randomly pair sound pieces and videos to create a wide array of juxtapositions and experiences of this collection of sound and image. Additionally, visitors will have the choice to hear/view selected works independently with links to producers. The web site is also intended for kiosk installation in unexpected locations. We are currently making arrangements for showings and installations throughout New England.
