Call for Entries in Digital Film/Video, Audio and Multimedia
OPEN ENTRY: DEADLINE 14 JANUARY 1998
Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival Sheffield 23-25 April 1998
Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival 1998 invites entries of digital art and
media to feature in a substantial exhibition of CD ROM, audio work,
internet art and screenings of films and videos which make explicit use
of digital technology.
A wealth of exciting and innovative new work is being generated out of
the fusion between digital art, graphic design, interactive multimedia
and film and video making. The aim of Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival is
to connect up this emergent energy and present it to an audience of
artists, media professionals and the public as part of a three day
conference and exhibition programme.
If you produce film/video, audio or multimedia using computers and
digital processes this is your opportunity to get it shown. If selected,
your work will be featured as part of an extensive programme exploring
new media technologies, alongside a conference which seeks to make a
significant contribution to defining 'digital art' through critical
debate.
Established five years ago, Lovebytes has a growing reputation as a
regional, national and international meeting point of digital arts and
cultures. Lovebytes 98 will take place at the new Sheffield Media and
Exhibition Centre which is the largest independent cinema and
multi-media centre in the UK. There will be a Multimedia Gallery
offering open access to computer based multimedia, a Digital Soundspace
for music and audio works whilst film and video screenings will be
presented in the new Showroom Cinema.

What are we looking for?
INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA WORKS. Interactive works can be anything from, a
1Mb piece sent on a floppy disc, to a CD ROM or console game. We will
endeavour to show the widest range of work. Work will be shown as part
of a multimedia gallery at the Festival. Some of the most intriguing
work may also be projected. Audio, sound and music work very welcome.
FILM / VIDEO PRODUCTIONS. We are looking for imaginative uses of
computer based media in film and video, which explore the conceptual and
creative aspects of digital processes. All films and videos must have
some kind of digital input which is evident in concept or content - this
may include, for example, animation, special effects, tricks and
transformations and digital post-production. We welcome work produced
using high-end computers or lo-fi productions made on desk-tops or in
back bedrooms.
INTERNET ART. Send your URLs for the Multimedia Gallery Bookmarks and
links from the festival website. Please supply GIF pointers on black
backgrounds as e-mail attachments to lovebyte@syspace.co.uk
PRINT: Print work and supporting material may be submitted but wall
space is limited so we cannot guarantee it will be displayed. Please
send digital previews of work for selection and please do not send
originals.
