crannys.

Digital Fringe 08 Screen call out


The Digital Fringe festival is seeking all sorts of Screens!


Do you have a screen, projector, TV or old computer monitor that you 
would like to play free digital art on?


Digital Fringe is seeking all sorts of public screening venues to

participate in 2008 - galleries, shopping centres, bars, cafes, pubs, 
retail venues, libraries and large public screens are all taking part.


Help us to bring cutting edge digital artworks by local and 
international artists to the Victorian general public.


No screen is too large or small - it may be in a back corner of a

library on a computer monitor, part of a shop's window display, a wall 
of TV's in JB Hifi, a projector in a foyer, or a huge public screen. We 
simply want to get this artistic content into as many nooks and crannies 
of public space as possible.


As part of The Age 2008 Melbourne Fringe Festival, Digital Fringe will

be broadcasting a curated playlist of digital art on public screens 
across Victoria. This playlist - the General Stream - consists of 
digital artwork that is submitted from around the world in response to a 
massive public callout. It is an eclectic mix of quality screen based 
digital art including animations, video, short film and stills. All 
artworks are G rated and do not required audio.


Screen Venues that sign up to broadcast Digital Fringe entries can play

the content whenever they like during the festival (24 September - 12 
October). Screening can be continuous, event focused, fitted in around

your normal programming, or be used if your screen has downtime where

nothing is playing.


All locations taking part in broadcasting the Digital Fringe General

Stream will be promoted on the Digital Fringe website, which will 
feature a list of screening venues with links to partner websites and 
provision for logo placement, as well as be featured on a Google Map of 
Digital Fringe Screen locations. Last year we had over 40,000 visits to 
the Digital Fringe website, and the main Fringe website had 76,000 
visits during the 17 days of the festival. We hope to double that this 
year! Screens locations may also feature in press releases.


Any screen playing Digital Fringe artworks during the festival will be

helping to support artists and the promotion of digital art in local 
communities across Victoria. Not to mention providing free entertainment 
to punters, customers, and your wider community.
