The Takeaway Festival Open Exhibition 2007

The Second Takeaway Festival is here!

The three day extravaganza of talks, workshops, performances and 
exhibitions returns for the 2nd time to the Dana Centre in London. 
The silent revolution goes on! Technology continues to quietly 
transform creative possibilities, social structures, communication 
networks and business opportunities. This time the festival is 
seeking more participation from undergraduates from degree courses 
across the country to showcase their work in the Dana Centre's 
exhibition spaces.

What are we looking for?

This is open to all 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates of Digital Media, 
Digital Arts and Fine Art (with digital media),at UK colleges and 
those artists who graduated in 2006. Students on other sorts of 
course using digital media may also be eligible. Student group 
projects are also acceptable.

The Takeaway Festival tries to identify the changing interfaces 
between technology and practice. It celebrates a D-I-Y praxis that is 
infusing the creative landscape and challenging the status quo of top 
down software and proprietary licensing.
We want to put on an exhibition of student work that is ground 
breaking and original, that finds interesting solutions for old 
problems and that demonstrates new relationships between technology 
and other media.
If this describes your work, please make a submission as soon as you can.

A SILENT REVOLUTION IS TAKING PLACE
More and more people are transforming themselves from media consumers 
to producers - using the new tools, software and technologies now at 
their disposal. From the expanding realm of free and open source 
software (FLOSS), to peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution and 'pervasive' 
mobile and locative technologies, the possibilities exist as never 
before to create and disseminate our opinions and experiences through 
our own media. TAKEAWAY, the Festival of do it yourself Media, will 
help you to understand what it's all about and how to take part in 
the revolution.</x-flowed>
