Good to see MIX conference being mentioned in your VidPo forum – and it certainly is going to be a heady, international gathering of interactive thinkers e.g. Mark Amerika, Tom Konyves, Kate Pullinger and Maria Mencia – set amongst ruralist, Elizabethan splendour, Fluxus prints and the old English pub! We anticipate much chat and generative thinking – so if you’re visiting the UK for the Olympics why not come and join us!

It’s not too late for conference paper submissions which are still open till 30th April. Conference guest applications and video entries for Liberated Words screening are open till June 1st – see below.

Bye for now !

at MIX (Merging Intermedia XII)
call for video narratives
Submissions are invited for video narratives of 3 minutes or less to be exhibited at The Pound Arts Centre (July 17th), as part of the MIX Conference at Corsham Court, Bath Spa University, England, July 16th – 18th, 2012.
Curators Sarah Tremlett and Lucy English welcome all forms of video-based texts; however, following the discovery of a series of Fluxus-related prints at Corsham Court, (the original home of Bath Academy of Art and now a centre for postgraduate study), we would be particularly interested in videos which respond to the theme of Liberated Words (Parole in Libertà) referencing a print by Eugenio Carmi, 1967). Submission deadline: June 1st

MIX Conference
Hosted by The Research Centre for Contemporary Writing at Bath Spa University, Conference paper submissions are welcome on all forms of digital narrative – from interactive storytelling to gaming and conceptual videopoetry. The conference will produce a networked book of critical essays, examples of work and also an online forum where the debate can be continued. There will be an international line up of presenters from the U.S, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy and the UK. For further information, regulations and an entry form or conference paper entries, please see conference website: http://www.mix-bathspa.org and/or the conference co-ordinator Lucy English at l.english@bathspa.ac.uk

Cheers!

I am a filmmaker/student at Carleton College, and two fellow students and I recently collaborated with a poet to create this piece, called “a philosophy of language” (http://vimeo.com/37503669) which uses the poet’s body to literally inscribed the text of the poem in a moving-camera long take. We would love to have it shared here, and I am basically thrilled to have discovered this site – videopoetry is one of my passions and this is truly the best resource for it on the internet, hands down. :)

Thanks,

Just thought I’d get in touch and say 1) how much I love the Moving Poem site – and 2) that on World Poetry Day (Wednesday 21st March 2012) I’ll be making, writing and videoing Moving Poems with 25 teenagers at the South London Gallery in Peckham. We’ll be setting up a You Tube channel for them, and it’d be amazing if you and your followers – let them know what you think!

All the best,
Wendy
