Call for Entries

The Digitalis Digital Art Society (http://www.ddas.ca/ddas) in 
collaboration with the New Forms Festival'05 
(http://www.newformsfestival.com/) announces DIGITALIS: Patterns: An 
Exhibition of Digital Print, to be held September 15 - 25, 2005 in 
Vancouver, Canada.

This exhibition will present digital print images that incorporate 
pattern to suggest or represent natural ecologies of thought, media 
or irritation*. Without necessarily defining what patterns 
subconsciously represent, this exhibiton acknowledges that patterns 
encapsulate primal and transcendental communications, where shapes 
and colours are ultimate embodiments of beings or living forms. 
Images can be decorative, geometric, iconically repetitive or 
reminiscent of wallpaper or 1970-80's pattern painting. Images will 
have been manipulated in some way by the computer.

Please send all submissions by email with attached JPEGS (and their 
framed print dimensions) with a short bio to Digitalis curator James 
K-M at electric at telus.net by May 1, 2005. There is no entry fee and 
the New Forms Festival'05 will pay return shipping fees.

*In Understanding Media (1964) Marshall McLuhan wrote: "What we are 
considering here, however, are the psychic and social consequences of 
the designs or patterns as they amplify or accelerate existing 
processes. For the "message" of any medium or technology is the 
change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human 
affairs."
