Stasisfield and the Stasis_Space net.gallery present the call for submissions for a new exhibition of image and sound.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE RESONANT IMAGE : Contemporary Graphic Scores and Performances

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graphic scores are images created to convey instructions for the performance of sound or music without the inclusion of standard musical notation. The Resonant Image, a new two-stage exhibition in the Stasis_Space gallery, will explore the creation and interpretation of graphic scores by contemporary artists. In Stage 01 of the exhibition, a series of new graphic scores by a variety of artists will be displayed for a four month period. During those four months, another set of artists will be asked to create sonic interpretations of these scores. Stage 02 of the exhibition will present the best of these performances as downloadable mp3s.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: STAGE 01

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT TO SUBMIT:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions should take into consideration two factors: their ability to be displayed on the Web, as well as their ability to be used practically during a performance. Images should be accompanied by explanatory text with instructions for performance.

Scores should be inherently flexible in their ability to be performed by as few as one or as many as ten or more artists. The more flexible the score, the better chance it has to be recorded by an interested artist or group of artists.

Scores may take two forms:

+ STILL IMAGES should be able to be printed as a high-resolution PDF file, as well as be displayed on the Web as a GIF, JPG or PNG.

+ MOVING IMAGES are also acceptable. Again, practicality in their use during a performance as well as their ability to be displayed on the Web are the primary concerns. Acceptable file formats include MOV, MPG, SWF. Other formats may be accepted; submit a written proposal via e-mail before submitting your final piece.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT NOT TO SUBMIT:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please do NOT submit screen shots of MAX/MSP patches or other software-specific visuals. This project is intended as an investigation of human artistic translation into sound of visual imagery that may stand on its own as a work of visual art. While software patch graphics or screen shots may have an inherent beauty, they are not considered to be within the aesthetic bounds of this project.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO SUBMIT:
