ITALIAN VERSION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its fifth edition, Video Sound Art<\/strong> is back to select young artists through an Open Call<\/strong> aimed at rewarding the works of new talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE MAN INTO THE MAP<\/strong>, the two-year theme inaugurated in 2014, will guide the artistic selections and the new artistic productions of the 2015 festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last 15 years, maps have become one of the main means of expression.. Artists break up the neutrality feature which is at the basis of cartography and, through personal interpretations, they give life to a wide collection of works representing personal itineraries and personal territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographical maps, subways maps, conceptual and interactive cartography, data collection, sound mapping. \u201cArtists make maps\u201d.The man into the map is an invitation to explore the relationship between man and map, putting the individual at the centre of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants can optionally use a library of 12 videos selected from the Prelinger Archive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prelinger Archives was founded in 1983 by Rick Prelinger with the goal of preserving what he called \u201cephemeral movies\u201d, a collection of films about the cultural and social life of North America between the Thirties and the end of Fifties. It consists of advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The over 3.200 films are public domain and they are available for free downloading and reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Prelinger Archive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The archive was included in the Open Call 2015 for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)the movies pertain to \u201cThe man into the map\u201d theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)the movies are suitable for the creation of works that compare traditional forms of expression with digital technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) the ephemeral movies consisting of advertising, educational and amateur filmshave a strong aesthetic and expressive value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
