CALL FOR ENTRIES – LITE SHOW, a project of the Boston Cyberarts Festival

LOW-BAND IS THE WAY!

Still using a dialup modem? You're not the only one getting older while
that fat file loads. In a world where everyone needs a bigger pipe,
bandwidth is at once an important political issue and a significant
creative constraint.

In recognition of bandwidth's centrality in a networked society, Web
artists and developers are invited to submit their best low-band
productions to the LITE SHOW, an international festival of cutting-edge
low-bandwidth animation and interactive web-based art planned for Boston
CyberArts 2001.

Work by LITE SHOW artists will be featured on the web, at
CyberArtsCentral, and at a live interactive screening. An
educational/workshop component is also planned.
