Submission Dates: Friday, June 12 – July 3, 2009
FotoFest is reserving one spot in the upcoming fall exhibition POKE! - Artists and Online Social Media, September 10 – October 24, 2009, for an artist chosen through an online open call.
The exhibition, POKE! focuses on artists responding to the internet and utilizing web-technologies and online social media, i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Google Maps dating sites, Twitter, etc. FotoFest is interested in viewing artist-created “hacked” websites, “crowdsourced” projects where artists act as facilitators and recruit others to implement the scenarios they create, appropriated online content, and interactive work that is able to function in a gallery setting.
POKE! is a group exhibition that will take place at the FotoFest Gallery in Houston, Texas. FotoFest is looking for original, well thought out, content driven work about contemporary life as lived through the filter of the internet. FotoFest will provide financial support for shipping, insurance, and an artist honorarium. Please contact Jennifer Ward with any questions (exhibits@fotofest.org, 713-223-5522 ext. 18)
