READ_ME 2.3 is a festival of software art that explores the territory between art
and software culture. Read_me 2.3 draws connections between histories and
practices in both software culture and art, and aims at creating an extended
context, against which software art may be mapped.
READ_ME 2.3 is the second edition of Read_Me, the first festival dedicated
entirely to the phenomena of software art. It will take place on May 30-31, 2003
in Helsinki. Read_me 1.2 was held in Moscow in May 2002.
READ_ME 2.3 continues with the open structure of Read_me: all projects are
submitted on-line to a publicly accessible database. However, the second
Read_me edition has logically developed this idea further: the simple database has
turned into the software art repository Runme.org.
All projects, submitted to Runme.org up to the READ_ME 2.3 deadline (1st of
March) will be reviewed by a collective of "experts" and the best ones will be
presented on the READ_ME 2.3 event. However, Runme.org will continue
accepting projects on an ongoing basis. Projects entered after the deadline will be
considered as entries to the future Read_me festivals.
READ_ME 2.3 is not a competition in the traditional sense, and it will not have
monetary prizes. The festival event on May 30-31 will present, discuss, and
celebrate a selection of works singled out and featured without ranking by the
Read_me experts collective. READ_ME 2.3 will focus on the variety of discrete
contexts and will aim at building bridges between them.
