[spectre] Call for Artists: Stranger of the Month

[Kerrie-Dee Johns]

>Stranger of the Month
>Part of the 2008 Next Wave Festival -  www.nextwave.org.au
>
>Call for Expressions of Interest
>Deadline: Friday 12th October 2007
>
>Combining the collaborative impulse in contemporary art with
>user-centric trends in new media, Stranger of the Month
>draws upon the wisdom of the crowd.
>
>Taking the stranger as its subject, artists conduct a viral
>marketing campaign throughout media platforms to engage and
>produce a community of participants. Through this process,
>it becomes apparent that publics emerge by virtue of being
>addressed; they are relational, not static.
>
>Interaction with its publics will be entirely mediated;
>artists may either inhabit social networking sites to
>contact their participants, such as Facebook, or 43Things,
>or alternately, they may use traditional spaces for public
>broadcast, such as the classified sections of the local
>newspaper or community bulletin boards.
>
>Written instructions may stand-alone for their critical
>merit, or alternatively invite a variety of responses from
>participants. Both written instructions and generated
>responses will be presented throughout public spaces such as
>Federation Square, during the 2008 Next Wave Festival, and
>be reproduced in an online instructional manual.
>
>
