7th ANNUAL PIXEL POPS! 2011 Paris + Copenhagen
7th ANNUAL PIXEL POPS! 2011 Paris + Copenhagen. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 July 2011. Online Submissions Only.
Pixelpops 2011, curated by Philip Tonda Heide, will take place in a TPTP art space in Paris and simultaneously in a yet unknown location in Copenhagen. It will consist of video-performances accessible to the public each night between the 6th and the 16th of October.
The theme of this years exhibit is "Performance From Far Away". With this we seek to make a program that explores performances presented through the format of video; to play with and question both mediums (video and performance) and to encourage dialogue between the artist and the public. This dialogue will be presented in the art works themselves, but also on a blog where some of the works are shown together with documentary videos of the project and comments from the audience which can turn into written conversations/discussions between the artist and the viewer. Artist can participate with performance-videos of various duration.

7th Annual PixelPops! Call For Submissions
PixelPops 2011, curated by Philip Tonda Heide, will take place TPTP art space in Montmartre, Paris and simultaneously in a yet unknown location in Copenhagen. It will consist of video-performances accessible to the public every night during 2 weeks in October.
The work-title of this years exhibit is "Performance From Far Away". With this we seek to make a program that explores performances presented through the format of video; to play with and question both mediums (performance and video) and to encourage dialogue between the artist and the public. This dialogue will be present in the performance videos themselves, but also on a blog where the dialogue can continue in the form of comments from the audience which can turn into written conversations/discussions between the artist and the viewer.
Artists can participate with performance-videos of various duration
(max 5 minutes). The performances should be made as and for the video format. The idea is not to show merely documentation of performances, even though there might also be space for a few of those in certain cases. There is also the possibility to do live performances in one of the hosting venues, which will be video recorded and also shown in the partner city.
Online submissions only - here.
Deadline Approaching: 6th ANNUAL PIXEL POPS! 2010 Newark, New Jersey, USA.

2010 THEME: URBAN REALITIES
The selected short films (5 minutes or less) will address issues faced by urban communities in America and aim to include the broadest number of interpretations on the theme. Films that highlight both the challenges and joys of urban life will be shown. In doing so, a balanced portrait of New York metropolitan area will highlight difficulties, and advantages of urban living and of those cities' inhabitants.
The films will be projected onto vacant buildings, idle billboards, crumbling structures such as stanchions, bridges, piers, etc. Selected screening sites shall be chosen for their proximity and line of sight to highways, airline flight patterns, rail lines and areas with heavy foot traffic. Locations will be in heavily-populated urban areas to facilitate viewing by the maximum number of non-traditional art audiences.
The selected films will present what perhaps those passing by on highways, planes and railways may have never paused to contemplate.
