Read_me 2.3

Software Art Festival

May 30 - 31, Media Centre Lume, Helsinki, Finland

Deadline for entries: March 1

Read_me 2.3 is a festival of software art that explores the territory between art and software
culture. Read_me 2.3 draws connections between histories and practices in both software culture
and art, and aims at creating an extended context, against which software art may be mapped. 

Read_me 2.3 is the second edition of Read_me, the first festival dedicated entirely to the
phenomena of software art (Read_me 1.2 at: http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me ).

Read_me 2.3 continues with the open structure of Read_me: all projects are submitted on-line
to a publicly accessible database. However, the second Read_me edition has logically developed
this idea further: the simple database / submission form has turned into the software art
repository Runme.org (http://runme.org).

All projects, submitted to Runme.org up to the Read_me 2.3 deadline (1 of March) will be reviewed
by a collective of  "experts" (http://m-cult.org/read_me/experts) and the best ones will be
presented on the Read_me 2.3 event.

Read_me 2.3 is not a competition in the traditional sense, and it will not have monetary prizes.
The festival event on May 30-31 will present, discuss, and celebrate a selection of works singled
out and featured without ranking by the Read_me experts collective. Read_me 2.3 will
focus on the variety of discrete contexts and will aim at building bridges between them.
