INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF VIDEO AND MOVING IMAGE ON SYNESTHESIA AND VISUAL MUSIC
PALACIO DE LOS CONDES DE GABIA, GRANADA, SPAIN, 28 APRIL - 1 MAY 2007

CALL FOR KINETIC WORKS
MuVi (Visual Music) invites artists, musicians, designers and performers,
also professors and
university students, to submit proposals of kinetic works to be part of a
public exhibition, with
performances and discussions. Visual Music exhibition is part of the Second
International Congress "Synaesthesia: Science & Art", to be held from the
28th April to the 1st of May 2007, Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos, in
Granada, Spain.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS
Latest date for submissions is 30 November 2006 (date of postage).

TOPIC
The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synesthesia. For "visual
music", we intend every representation to be only visual or audiovisual, suggested by the music.
The correspondences between the visual and music can be the results of
synesthetic perceptions (the visuals are the mental images suggested by the
music); or the correspondences can be the result of studies on the
analogies between the visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality,
texture, colours, etc.). The support of a narrative thread is not required.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The call is for two categories of participants:
. Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)
. Participant B: university (professors, students, or graduated within the
last 12 months).

WHAT CAN YOU SUBMIT?
Any Moving Image (video, animations, etc.) - only visual kinetic work,
audiovisual, or interactive
- is eligible for submission. University professors can submit a collection
of didactic works. Students, one or more works, produced in an university
course.
The work does not have to be published and must be free from copyrights.

HOW TO MAKE SUBMISSIONS
Digital work can be submitted on CD-ROM. The files with the works can be
in the following
formats: .MOV, .AVI, .MPEG, .SWF. For other formats, send your questions
to: info@artecitta.es, or info@sinestesie.it . Each work, or collection of
works, must be accompanied with the appropriate "Entry Form" completed.
Please do not send DVDs or videotapes.
We cannot return CDs.

WHAT ARE THE FEES?
The fee is kept to an absolute minimum, and is used only to finance the
organisation of the project.

further charges.

Associate producer William Cameron Menzies designed some of the rich special effects for this imaginative Arabian Nights fantasy film produced by Alexander Korda, a loose remake of the original Douglas Fairbanks silent classic of 1924; they included a flying magic carpet, a six-armed mechanical assassin, a toy horse that could fly, poor Bagdad thief Abu's (15 year-old Sabu) battle with a giant spider in its huge web, and the sight of 50 foot tall genie or Djinni (Rex Ingram) in a tiny bottle.

"The original images come from historic Islamic arabesques. They were carved in plaster and wood, painted, and mounted in actual buildings in Andalusia and Morocco. These ancient artworks were photographed, printed in a book, scanned into a computer, adjusted with Photoshop, and animated with After Effects. Each step in the journey has left its tell-tale mark, from the lighting of the original photograph to the mask of the printer to the blocky pixels of the digital zoom. "

Gunvor Nelson - Film Video Artist

"Gunvor Nelson Retrospective: Personal Lens -October 20–23, 2006 [MoMA - New York]

This exhibition of work by film and video pioneer Gunvor Nelson spans four decades and offers a rare opportunity to experience the accumulated impact of Nelson's artistic vision. Her poetically expansive life's work-created in both San Francisco, her home and workplace for over thirty years, and her native Sweden, where she has resettled-has consistently, often courageously, privileged her subjective gaze and individual experience. Nelson relentlessly refuses predictability (and succeeds) in her search for a true relation between project and form. Among the most experimental of artists, Nelson illuminates such elusive and intimate subjects as childhood, aging, displacement, memory, women's roles, death, and the symbolic forces of nature and water via a potent exploration of the possibilities of sound and moving image. Her ephemeral, dreamlike images are simultaneously tactile and almost tangible, while her imaginative use of language and traces of music add considerably to the emotional impact of her works. Filmic collage and dynamic editing create tension and contrast. The unique characteristics of Nelson's works form less a definable style than a sustained aesthetic.
Organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film."

Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes - Google Video - 8 minutes

(following text from Google video, link above) "Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes has been very rarely performed in public. The complicated scenographic staging, the detailed ... all » preparation by hand, the need for around ten technicians to activate more or less simultaneously the 100 metronomes, makes the demand for performances limited. Thirty-two years after the premiere, the sculptor and installation artist Gilles Lacombe heard a recording of the work. Impressed, he decided to invent a machine able to perform the piece automatically. After six months, he set up this ingenious device. Ever since, Poème symphonique can be performed accurately, at any time, and in public." Video of the perfomace recorded in Rome, presented by an orchestra of 100 performers.

Google video broadcast



"Filmed in 1895, it was first shown to a paying audience in Paris, France on January 6, 1896. The 50-second silent film captures the entry of a steam locomotive into the train station in the French coastal town of la Ciotat. Like most of the other early Lumière films, L'Arrivée d'un train consists of a single, unedited "view" illustrating an aspect of everyday life...

The story goes that when the film was first shown, the audience was so overwhelmed by the moving image of a life-sized train coming directly at them that people screamed and ran to the back of the room."

"The sense of hearing is deprived of its traditional "privilege" and sight - which until now has not had a distinct role in listening to and evaluating music, is being given the opportunity for integral/interactive cooperation. This is an opportunity to equally enjoy both sound and visual contents without "slippind" into the trap of the visual environment or the visual story of natural contents and diminishing the fundamental qualities of MUSIC - that abstract, eternal and ever-welcome companion of mankind."
