TRANSMEDIA :29:59
Year Zero One has extended its deadline for submissions
to TRANSMEDIA :29:59, an ongoing programme of media
art displayed on the pedestrian level video billboard
at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. Beginning July
1st 2005, one minute video works will be broadcast 24/7
every half hour on the 29th and 59th minutes.
The controversial Dundas Square was launched in 2003
as a new public urban space which operates as a joint
business venture between the City of Toronto and the
private sector. At the perimeter of the square is the
Eaton
Centre, Ryerson
University and one of Toronto's busiest intersections,
Yonge & Dundas Streets.
Year Zero One accepts video submissions from both emerging
and established media artists. Preference will be given
to works that respond to the site and its position in
a high traffic (pedestrians and vehicles) public location.
Two artists will be featured each month. Proposals for
real-time streamed video, live networked art and collaborative
projects will be considered. Send URL submissions to
info(at)year01.com
deadline for submissions: September 1st, 2005
