<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;">Would
you like to create a piece of sound and moving image based multi-screen work
and have the opportunity to show it at <b><span style="font-family: Times;">The
Engine Room</span></b> in Somerset from <b><span style="font-family: Times;">13-17 December</span></b>?</p><p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><i><span style="font-family: Times;">Then get your ideas together and make a pitch...</span></i></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;">Deadline
for entries is <b><span style="font-family: Times;">12 noon</span></b>
on <b><span style="font-family: Times;">Friday 15 October</span></b><br>
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;">Intended
for up-and-coming digital artist/ film-makers, the <b><span style="font-family: Times;">Reveal Innovation Award</span></b>
comprises <b><span style="font-family: Times;">£500.00</span></b><br>
and the exclusive use of our studio and selected equipment for a 3 day build
and a widely publicised 5 day show.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><br>
Phil Shepherd, Facilitator for Somerset Film, says “Our Reveal partnership works
strategically across<br>
the county to raise the profile of the visual/digital/applied arts but till now
has only been occasionally visible ‘on the ground’ in Bridgwater.<span> </span>For many people here and across rural
Somerset contemporary work is rarely available.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;">The
Innovation award addresses that and is all about making a piece of imaginative<br>
and inspiring work using the assets of The Engine Room to be supported by our
studio<br>
manager and crew. We are looking for a truly innovative piece of work – in any
media,<br>
single or multiple - video, photography, sound, games – offline or online which
pushes<br>
boundaries, challenges preconceptions of what digital art is all about and
above all<br>
engages with the wider public.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><br>
Let’s have your ideas, surprise us with your audacity and fresh approach, we’re
looking<br>
for something that may challenge, may amuse, may take us out of our comfort
zones<br>
but above all we want a work that truly engages, that opens conversations in
all sorts<br>
of people’s heads, that is accessible without being patronising, that reminds
us how art<br>
can change people’s lives.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><br>
There are very few caveats – it’s got to be legal and achievable using the kit
we can<br>
offer and the £500 expenses available. It’s got to fit our building without
impeding<br>
the Internet Coffee Bar trade and upsetting the neighbours! There may or may
not be<br>
some space available outside the building depending on what you want to do.
There<br>
is just one award available but could be given to a small team if it’s the idea
we think<br>
will work best.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><br>
You might well want to get in touch to discuss your initial idea before
submitting<br>
something to us but this is not a pre-requirement. You almost certainly need at
least<br>
to know the geography of our site and probably the ‘feel’ of the place also.<br>
Let’s start the conversation soon, get in touch as you need to get your ideas
to us on<br>
two sheets of A4 max (e-mail is fine) with CV by 12 noon on 15 October latest.
Please<br>
note, absolutely no previous experience is necessary to apply for this award,
if you<br>
don’t even have a CV, still apply!<br>
