CALL for ENTRIES: New Media

Posted on May 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NEW to ME

Innovation in cooking (and in art) moves slowly. If you watching cooking shows, you would think that sous vide cooking preparation is a hot new technique. But the sous vide method has been around since the 1970s. Digital Art and New Media have not moved quite that extreme of slow, but slow nonetheless. Shows like the one in this next Call will put New Media in the forefront in no time. It is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for the New Media Festival from LACDA (Los Angeles Center for Digital Art). The entry fee is reasonable, and I know that new media shows can be hard to find. This isn’t a show for everyone, but new media shows can be rare finds. Investigate…

SUMMER,
Summer,
SUMMER!

Am I the only one that lives on cold foods during the summer? When the thermometer hits 90, the temperature of food in my house goes to 50 degrees. Marinated meats are grilled and chilled. Steamed veggies are dressed with vinaigrette and chilled. And fresh salad of crunchy cabbage and carrots are served ice cold. The next call has no theme, but it opens in the Summer heat. Have some antipasto at the opening for me…

I enjoy unexpected pairings of food and wine.

This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…
