- Turbulence's Comp_07: MIXED REALITIES, Call for Proposals
Juried International Networked Art Competition
Proposal Deadline: March 31, 2007
MIXED REALITIES: (1) a competition and series of simultaneous exhibitions that engage users in three discrete environments: the Internet (Turbulence), an online 3-D rendered environment (Ars Virtua/Second Life), and physical space (Art Interactive); (2) works that evaluate the concepts "virtual," "simulation", and "real"; (3) a series of experiences in which participants connect with one another and contribute to the creation of the work. Five commissions @ $5,000 (US) each. More info here.
For inspiration, visit Turbulence's Ars Virtua site on the web or in Dowden, now hosting an installation exploring the concept of borders. (Direct teleport at this link.)
- Fox Atomic's presents a Machinima and Photography Contest
Top winner claims a trip for two to Costa Rica; first place machinima entry takes L$100,000, grand prize screenshot winner takes L$25,000. Details at Fox Atomic's SL developer Millions of Us blog.
Full disclosure: Millions of Us is one of this blog's Second Life partner, and this April, I'll be speaking at Boston's CyberArts festival, on a panel put together and sposored by Turbulence.
If you are looking for more machinima inspiration, look at the second life machinima galler which I had up for some time now at Ochreous. More than a dozen different machinima artists now, each with their own unique cinema. Oh, yes, and I added just recently the first open air, drive-in/fly-in (you can bring your own helicopter) machinima cinema where we just the 2nd machinima screening last Sunday. Come and see Susi's Machinima Gallery, the permanent home for the best SLmachinima artists. All non-for-profit of course (until I am running out of money).
