Select Media Festival 7 : Infoporn<br><br>Announcing the Seventh Annual Select Media Festival: INFOPORN<br>Deadline for submission: September 1, 2008<br><br>>start>>>><br>Heartbeats. Beverages. Products and byproducts. Things we make, and things that make us. Seconds, minutes, millennia. From the mundane to the majestic, it can all be documented, diagnosed, understood, dispersed. Right?<br>
<br>Graphs, charts, and maps record data, keep history, and document our existence. Sometimes, they provide visual and aesthetic stimuli too. Select Media 7: INFOPORN will be a visual explosion of these points and paths, these executions and exercises and maps. We want to put these moments on display, to measure them out out. We want to understand and appreciate; be enraged, enlightened, amazed by them. We want to feast.<br>
<br><br>WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR!<br><br>INFOPORN EXHIBITION<br>all media formats<br><br>Send your greatest hits or make something new. Use color, shape, form, sound. Use marbles or twigs. Use a computer, a camera, a crayon. The data is the art and you are the simple stenographer. Measure it. Record it. Jot it down, plot it out, pass it out, and capture it. Let us see it, let us relate to it, let us celebrate or begin to understand it.<br>
<br>A SUBJECTIVE ATLAS OF CHICAGO<br>all media formats<br><br>Document the thing that has the greatest effect on your existence in Chicago. Realign existing info, or imagine new ways of navigating the city. Maps political or personal, realism or utopia, rollerblades or red tape, online or inline: it's all legit. Draw conclusions if you want, but they are not necessary. A publication/project will be created and released/exhibited at the festival.<br>
<br>>>><br><br>Deadline!<br>September 1, 2008<br><br>Send PDFs, posters, boxes of dirt, publications, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, crayon boxes, maps in bottles, urls, ftp sites, etc. to:<br><br>Select Media Festival 7<br>
