BIO
Call for Work on basic.fm
Deadline:
Mon Jun 11, 2012 17:00
Location:
Newcastle upon Tyne,
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Basic.fm is an online radio station that forms part of Pixel Palace, an exciting programme of digital arts and new media at Tyneside Cinema. Basic.fm (Broadcast Art, Sound & Independent Culture) is an online space that can be inhabited by artists, curators, thinkers and interesting people with something to share.
Since launching in November 2011, basic.fm has commissioned an exciting number of leading artists, including Mark Vernon, The Noize Choir, Ed Carter, Sarah Boothroyd and Vicki Bennett (People Like Us).
In August, Pixel Palace is exhibiting a new commission, Mariner 9 by Kelly Richardson – an epic video art installation at Whitley Bay’s historic Spanish City Dome this August. This exhibition will coincide with the landing of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory aka “Curiosity”, on the planet Mars.
In a 12 metre-long panoramic installation, the work is a human-scale version of Mars a century or two from now, and a battlefield of real and imagined spacecraft in the centre of a dust storm. Taking NASA’s own imagery and technical data of the Martian landscape, Kelly has created an uber-realistic red planet, minutely replicating its distinctive geology, weather patterns and soundscape.
For more on Mariner 9 visit: http://www.thepixelpalace.org/events/mariner9
What we are looking for
We are seeking participation from artists, curators, collectors and archivists on the themes surrounding Mariner 9 e.g. space, mars, the environment and sci-fi. Contributions will be scheduled to play on basic.fm from 1st August 2012. Submissions can include new or existing work, collections, archival material, sound art, spoken word, curated programmes and interviews.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 11th June 2012 at 5pm (GMT)
Artists will be notified via email regarding the outcome of their submitted or proposed work(s).
This is an unpaid opportunity but all selected contributions will be fully credited and linked appropriately to relevant websites and/or sources. This call is open to all, regardless of nationality, age, or career stage.

Tyneside Cinema is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the Pixel Palace Artist in Residence programme 2012 in collaboration with The Factory.
The Factory is an informal drop in space for young people from 14 to 19 years old to make and learn about digital art, film and technology in their own time. The group meet every Monday from 5pm till 7pm at the Tyneside Cinema. With professional equipment and experts on hand, The Factory is a peer-led environment with the opportunity to learn about everything from film and animation to motion graphics and anything in between.
The residency offer is to artists of international calibre working in new technologies and moving image with a focus on participatory practice that compliments and informs the current Pixel Palace programme. The residency will be an active period of time for an artist to develop exploratory / inquiry based work in collaboration with The Factory group.

In addition, the artist will also have access to a residency space which will be shared with other artists and is based in the social environment of the cinema, creating opportunities to produce live events and develop formal and informal discussions.

About Pixel Palace
Pixel Palace is the exciting programme of digital arts and new media at Tyneside Cinema. This programme takes the form of arts residencies, commissions, live events and exhibitions. We experiment with new ways of sharing creative work, ideas and stories as we move towards the future of cinema.
Tyneside Cinema’s mission is to bring together people to experience, enjoy and engage with the past, present and future of cinema. Pixel Palace aims to extend and deliver this mission by working with new media artists and curators embracing digital arts, not only to reflect upon the cinema’s past, but to engage new audiences in its expanded present and pervasive future.
Jean Luc Goddard’s classic film “Alphaville” provides a creative starting point for Pixel Palace to explore the influence technology has upon us, shaping our behaviour and understanding of the world.
As Godard predicted, life is indeed shaped by computers. In Alphaville, in our world today, the cinema is everywhere, in the flick of a cigarette lighter, in the glow of a light bulb… it is in the way we perceive our world, in the way we speak, in the way we dream. We have no need of entering a movie theatre to experience cinema; life itself is just like a movie.
Kelly Brougher (2008). ‘The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving image’
Pixel Palace aims to work with artists to investigate the way in which the cinema reflects life but also the way in which technology has an “Alphaville” effect.
