ArtCast: open call for sound art

folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in Lancashire, Cumbria
and online, is developing ArtCast, an ongoing series of podcasting
programmes at http://www.folly.co.uk, as a platform for public access to new
and innovative sound art.

Building on the success of OWN [SOUND] ART (2007) at
http://www.folly.co.uk/soundnetwork, a series of podcasts specially
commissioned in partnership with SoundNetwork, folly intends to deliver a
quarterly series of podcasts exploring the possibilities of the medium, and
will launch the first in this series as part of VELOCITY, folly's second
Festival of Digital Culture:

VELOCITY Festival of Digital Culture - See the Bay differently
12th October - 3rd November 2007

VELOCITY is ground-breaking new arts festival where you can explore digital
art in the sublime context of the coastal rail route between Lancaster and
Barrow-in-Furness. Presented in and around train stations, online and for
download at http://www.folly.co.uk

VELOCITY is folly's second annual Festival of Digital Culture and builds on
the success of the f.city festival held in Lancaster city centre in 2006
which resulted in over 55,000 people engaging with new media art practice.

VELOCITY will open up new ways of seeing life around Morecambe Bay, engaging
with the vibrant communities that line the coast and furthering the role
that the arts has in sustaining the spectacular landscape of the South Lakes
and North Lancashire.

VELOCITY... celebrating the role of creative technology in connecting people
to places.

folly is calling for open submissions of existing audio work, from the broad
spectrum of contemporary sound art practice.  Submissions should address
themes and subjects broadly relating to the ethos of VELOCITY, including but
not limited to: travel, movement, landscape, engagement with communities,
rural sustainability.

VELOCITY will take place on and around the rail route from Lancaster to
Barrow-in-Furness in the North West of England, so folly is looking for
podcastable content which can be downloaded and experienced on journeys
through and around this area. As part of the festival, folly is also keen to
broadcast selected works via the loud speaker systems at stations along the
rail route.

Submissions are welcome from all artists working with sound, experimental
musicians and composers, writers and performance artists etc, basically
anyone who has created work which they consider to be suitable for an audio
podcast.

folly welcome submissions from international artists

The deadline for submissions is 14th September 2007

Sonic Arts Network will join folly in the selection of works in late
September 2007

Successful submissions will be published as podcasts from 1st October 2007

Please note that there is no fee available for selected works
