CALL FOR SHORT STEREOPHONIC SOUNDSCAPE & HOERSPIEL
WORKS
>A DIAMOND IN THE MUD<
A Miniature Audio Exhibition of Stereophonic Soundscape
& Hörspiel Works
PROJECT CONCEPT:
It is an Asian concept rooted in Buddhism that
self-cultivation can be developed at home as a householder and is not merely
confined to a temple or monastery. Buddhist believe that enlightened beings are
those who "grew" out of the "mud" of the material world.
So, like the lotus flower, which penetrates through sullied mud and water, but
emerges unspoiled, enlightened beings are beautiful and pure even though they
grow up in the material world. The phrase "a diamond in the mud" is
an analogy for this and in keeping with it the Digital Art Weeks would like to
issue this call to artists and to submit pre recorded works (Soundscape,
Hörspiel, Sonic Poetry) in regard to the beautiful and the sullied. The works will be
chosen on their ability to transcend the listeners into a "moment of
tranquilly" and out of the confines of the everyday, or as expressed in
the Diamond Sutra: "Dwell upon nothing and produce the pure mind."
PLAYBACK SYSTEM:
Constructed as a dock for Apple's famed iPod, the iCarta
stereophonic audio playback system will be used to play back all of the
selected works. The systems not only offers an interesting solution for public
pod-casting, but it also acts uniquely as a bathroom dispenser for the
indispensable: Le papier toilette.
- Art Clay, DAW, Artistic Director (c) 2008
DEADLINE: Moday, 15th September 2008. Notification of
acceptance of proposals will be sent out on or before Monday, 22nd September
2008.
