CALL FOR ENTRIES
THE MUSEUM OF POCKET ART’S 2ND ANNUAL VIDEO EXHIBITION
CURATED BY GRAND DETOUR
With the proliferation of video recording devices and the variety of ways in which to view video, the video artist’s intent can get muddled. The initial experience of watching video meant for a large screen fluctuates greatly from seeing it on YouTube. For this annual series, the Museum of Pocket Art invites video artist to submit work with the intent of seeing work on a mobile device.
This year, Portland-based microcinema and experimental media center Grand Detour will curate a program culled from entries in video, film, and animation. We want your work!
Deadline: April 21, 2011
Parameters:
Must be created specifically for viewing on a MOBILE DEVICE (smart phone, ipod, etc)
Length must be 90 seconds or less
Preference will be given to new work (created within the 
past 12 months), but new work is not a requirement 
 
 Format should be a Quicktime file (H.264), up to 720p, 30fps, Main Profile
level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz

Please submit work via file transfer to info@grand-detour.org
(you can also contact the curators here with questions, etc)
About MoPA
The Museum of Pocket Art began six years ago in response to an idea by author Walter Mosley. Everyone should carry with them a small artwork in a pocket to enrich their day and share with others. MoPA took this idea and organized it into a formal venue for contemporary artists and patrons.
