For your interest>> [ the palimpsest project > version 2.0 ]
+ ABSTRACT: Like an audio cassette that has been recorded upon too many times, a palimpsest shows evidence of its past states of existence while producing something entirely new with the combination of its inherent layers of historical material. The creation of an artistic palimpsest can take on many forms and cover a variety of subjects. It may pose more questions than it answers. It may be a thing of beauty or a jumbled mess. But it must be infused with a sense of history, time and purpose. The palimpsest project - which began when version 1.0 premiered on 30 September - seeks to create an ongoing series of digital palimpsests, using an initial body of work as the basis for future work which will reference each previous layer of content. + GUIDELINES: Artists are asked to visit version 1.0 of the exhibition, located here: [ http://www.stasisfield.com/space/present ] Upon viewing the exhibition, interested artists should choose a piece to rework according to the following guidelines: 1. Taking into consideration the palimpsest concept [a detailed explanation of which may be found at http://www.stasisfield.com/space/present/palimpsest/catalog/palimpsest.html], participating artists should view the original pieces as SURFACES upon which to create a new work. The surface should be erased, yet still leave traces of the original work behind. The new work should be created ON TOP of these traces while allowing them to show through. 2. Careful consideration of issues such as duration, image size and/or functionality are crucial to the success of the project. The original piece MUST be present in some way within the new piece in order to merit inclusion within the upcoming exhibition. 3. While it is preferable that the new pieces remain the same media as the original [i.e. a sound file should be re-interpreted as a sound file, an image file as an image file, etc.], exceptions may be made depending upon the final output. + SUBMISSION INFORMATION: + To Submit a Proposal: Please email a proposal (NOT finished work) for your final piece to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your proposal should include the following: 1. Your name 2. The name of the original piece you will work from 3. The media of your final piece (i.e. mp3, flash file, digital photo, etc.) 4. A detailed description of your new version of the piece, including details of the process you intend to work with and how your additional work will relate to the original piece + Deadlines: All proposals must be received by 6 January 2003. Artists to be included in the exhibition will be notified of their proposal's acceptance by 13 January 2003. + IMPORTANT: All accepted work must be received by 17 February 2003. Final deliverable work will be accepted either on CD-R via conventional mail or preferably a URL to its location online. Artists whose works are accepted will receive more details about final delivery with their acceptance notification.
