Open Call – V I D E O S O U N D A R C H I V E – S14
V I D E O S O U N D A R C H I V E Season 14 –Calling for video and sound works that reconsiders the current restructures and parameters. Rather than a festival or exhibition, we are carving out a space to encourage a literal pause in life and ‘mindful use of this easily accessible medium’ by underscoring critical thought and creation. Leaning away from social media and insta- “content creation” (vanity metrics) we hope to allow a straightforward space without the unnecessary pressure of views/likes. Ideated on January 13, 2020, we are both artists working in this medium. Our hope is to build a network to foster connections, and create a place for your work to exist in a broader conversation — a pure art exchange to experiment and express without buzz words, vanity metrics and artspeak.
- Please submit works with a maximum running time of ten (10) minutes.
- Please submit works that include both your original video and sound in the same piece. If you are not the sole creator of the video and/or sound, please include all collaborators, and/or list public domain/open source.
- Please read over our FAQ before submitting.
*To be considered for S14, please submit by August 31, 2025 11:59pm PT
or use this link:
https://forms.gle/17g7DUTNkBGSj2aR8
Notification of selected works for S14 will be sent via email on September 12, 2025.
We appreciate your time and look forward to getting to know your work.
Thank you and take care!
