Blur + Sharpen Call for Submissions

Blur + Sharpen is a monthly screening series at the University of
Southern
California, dedicated to showcasing recent, experimental digital media
that hovers at the intersection of design, motion graphics, animation
and
video.

We are currently seeking submissions for our 2006/2007 season, which
will feature a series of theme-driven programs of short work. We
seek projects that are relevant to these general themes:

Text: for a show highlighting the pleasures of reading, we seek
videos or
graphics pieces based primarily on text, or that incorporate text in
interesting ways.

Submission deadline: September 20

Horror: projects rife with blood, guts and/or psychological mayhem are
sought for a program of experimental and short work that grapples
with horror, disgust and repulsion.
Submission deadline: October 20

Remix: we believe that creativity always builds on the past and
culture should not always be for sale to the highest bidder. Show us
what happens when you rip, mix, mash and burn your way through the
ideas, images and sounds of media culture.
Submission deadline: October 30

Blur+Sharpen was founded in 2001 and is currently sponsored by the
Institute
for Multimedia Literacy at USC’s School of Cinema-Television. The
series is
co-curated by Steve Anderson, Peter Oleksik and Holly Willis and is
free and
open to the public.
