The4thScreen: a global fest of art and innovation for mobile phones
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 1, 2006
Contact: Tamas Banovich: 212-229-9736
The4thScreen: a global festival of art & innovation for mobile phones
launches today with a call for works. The deadline for submissions is June
4, 2006. Ten awards of US $5,000 will be given to winning entries.
The4thScreen festival is the first event of its kind to focus on the mobile
phone as an emerging social, cultural and technological phenomenon.
The festival was conceived by Tamas Banovich, curator and co-director of
Postmasters Projects and Postmasters Gallery in New York:
"We are at the moment when everybody, from the media moguls to Vietnamese
peasants - artists, hackers, activists, businesses and governments, are
trying to grasp the impact, the power, of this new phenomenon…. trying to
claim a part of it. There is still a lot of space for great ideas, to
fulfill dreams and real needs. I hope the Festival will serve as a catalyst
and influence this process…"
Artists, movie makers, designers, technologists, programmers, game designers
and all creative thinkers are invited to submit their creations, inventions
and revolutionary ideas in one of two categories:
Moving images- including videos, animations, and games made specifically for
mobile delivery
Wise technologies - including SMS based projects, sound, software art,
software and hardware projects proposing new or extended use of mobile
devices, applications that impact the life, the cultural, social and
economical conditions of people living in diverse cultures.
The mobile phone is at the center of a radical cultural, technological, and
social shift. The4thScreen is a platform for those who are shaping the
present and want to influence the future of this new medium, exchanging
ideas over the boundaries of cultures, to participate in the global village.
The4thScreen festival'06 is produced by Postmasters Productions in
partnership with the Museum of the Moving Image and Polytechnic University,
New York.
