Vision'R Calling - AVit France : january 2007 - Paris
 

Hi,
The International Project deadline is november 30, 2006.
The French Project deadline is november 15, 2006.

Vision'R takes place in january 19, 20 & 21, 2007. at Paris & Mains d'Oeuvres as last year.

Here is the calling :

To build together the program of the 2007 cooperative VJ Festival Vision'R - AVit France, on a various, complementary tone, with meetings, experiences, pleasures, surprises, artistic peculiarities of production and reception, immersive strokes and blows, possessions and suggestions cast, among
others, on the others, and on ourselves, according to us "VJs" and the like -- media hybrids; technoid mutants; experienced, curious, confused, lost people; fans of our images, and our tools, our influences, our connections, our news, our memories, our saturations, our commitments and demands-- here is the 2007 call to positions and propositions !

Because there is still so much to do on all levels ? and that is fortunate, even if by caprice we would often prefer that things went faster so that we could spend our time on what is important, even if ?what is important? does not exist as such but is invented along the way, as is the vj performance, its acceptance, its brilliance, its sharing or its refusal, its understanding, its different faces and its exploration.

General line of the Festival extracted from the debriefing of the 2006 vision'R Festival :
" A festival as a gathering of artists with complementary practices, as a meeting of the different participants of an emerging professional sector, as a collective event, helping the structuralization and the recognition of the art of VJing, as a place dedicated to art mediators who value the interactions with the public (talks, initiations, workshops, sharing of experiences), and as a valorization of technologies and know-how that are enriching for all the media and the cultural worlds"

Hi Laurent.

have you got an application form or guidelines that can be downloaded?

any ideas if contributors will get a fee or travel expenses/accomodation paid for?

how long are the sets you're looking for?

are you planning to have the presentations/debates in french only or in english too?


good luck with the festival.

Looks pretty intresting, but I cant speak french very well so dont get too far on the site!

oui!
fantastique!

thanx! cat

so yeah is there an apllication form for this?

seems that even the VJfrance thread is vague on the matter.

presumably, the "appel a propositions" was closed on nov 15th so it isn't likely that we'll get an entry form in English at this stage.


nae luck.
