- For those non-winning works, ZEMOS98 reserves the right to make an
online display which will be developed on ZEMOS98.org and ADF-PHOTO.org.

TOPIC

-The topic of the competition is “Out of Control”

The searching process started by the ZEMOS98 group does not forget the
lines already seen in past editions about “Creation and collective
intelligence” and “Beyond TV”; moreover, these subjects are streams of
the same river, that of the critic reflection on Media.

The ZEMOS98 Festival has drawn a new line of investigation in its
particular work of cultural management. We live in the society of media
sham; reality has been downgraded to channel-hopping or oversized
consumption of images. No more do we live surrounded by images, but they
live inside us.

We want to reveal the myth, to unmask the rite, to demystify the media,
to move the spectacular upside down with the strategies of critic
thought, dropping equalization and celebrating the collective right to
be out of control. It does not have to do with the old debate between
philo and technophobe: we just want to turn off in order to have more light.

Is it possible a cultural critique of the controlled society? Avoiding
to fall into aesthetic virtuosity, we think that we have something to
tell from the audiovisual side. ZEMOS98 ninth edition will try to
understand and propose that there is a possibility of being out of
control, that we are able to cover security cameras with graffiti and to
send e-mails about “poetry of the out-of-control”.

CONDITIONS AND TIME LIMIT

- Authors will send to [email protected] their visual proposal based
on a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 images, JPG quality (not heavier
than 5 megabytes altogether) until October 30th. If wished, they can

his/her proposal, work and reach an agreement with ZEMOS98 on the final
work, being part of or a evolution from the initial proposal.

DISTRIBUTION AND REPRODUCTION CONDITIONS

so that they can create works derived from the original one (images
