INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF VIDEO AND MOVING IMAGE ON SYNESTHESIA AND
VISUAL MUSIC
SALA DE LA DELEGACIÓN DE CULTURA DE LA DIPUTACIÓN DE GRANADA (SPAIN)
26-29TH APRIL 2009

CALL FOR KINETIC WORKS
MuVi2 invites artists, musicians, designers and performers, also professors
and university students, to submit proposals of kinetic works to be part of
a public exhibition, with performances and discussions. Visual Music
exhibition is part of the Third International Congress "Synaesthesia:
Science & Art", to be held from the 26th to the 29th of April 2009, Parque
de las Ciencias, in Granada, Spain.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS
Latest date for submissions is 30 November 2008 (date of postage).

TOPIC
The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synesthesia. For "visual
music", we intend every representation to be only visual or audiovisual,
suggested by the music.
The correspondences between the visual and music can be the results of
synesthetic perceptions (the visuals are the mental images suggested by the
music); or the correspondences can be the result of studies on the
analogies between the visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality,
texture, colours, etc.). The support of a narrative thread is not required.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The call is for two categories of participants:
. Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)
. Participant B: university (B1: professors; B2: students, or graduated
within the last 12 months).

WHAT CAN YOU SUBMIT?
Any Moving Image (video, animations, etc.) - only visual kinetic work,
audiovisual, or interactive
