V I D E O S O U N D A R C H I V E Season 16  –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.
