The New Art Fest '18 - Call

Black Raven - The New Art Fest Award

Made in smartphone

The New Art Fest ‘18, Lisbon, November 2-30

OPEN CALL_1

You are terrified of your own children since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. John Perry Barlow, 1996

Not only digital natives, also known as the Generation Z (1995-2009), use more smartphones than desktop/laptop computers and tablets. We all do! But if we look at what statistics say (Pew) than we’ll learn that post-millennials will probably spend most of their communication, social and creative time online. At least for now, smartphones are the most advanced convenient mobile device to interact with location-based media and mixed reality. It follows from here that asking for made in smartphone art seems only natural, don’t you think?

This is a call for art made for/with mobile devices—made by smartphones, made with smartphones, made for smartphones, or not. Smartphones are as open as any digital device can be. Any art proposal for this section of the festival should only take this new realm into consideration.

Twelve artworks will be selected for exhibition on everyone’s smartphone.

A prize committee will decide which of these twelve nominees will receive the Black Raven for the best artwork made for/with smartphones.
