73 Providence Place M-Tu: 10am-6pm Image Above: hummingbird 004, by CW Roelle Call for Artists, Poets and Writers Context, a digital media installation curated by artist/composer Tim O'Keefe The Arts & Business Council of RI and Indie Arts RI are sponsoring an ongoing digital poetry, prose and art installation, curated by artist/composer Tim O’Keefe, that will be displayed on donated cell phones. The concept utilizes a common means of communication (the cell phone) and liberates it as an artful, interactive tool that individuals can use to create, interact, express and connect. Submissions of poetry and writing must be no longer than 160 characters in length including letters, numbers, symbols and spacing. The 160 character guideline is based on the capacity allowed for modern text messaging, and transforms text messages into an artistic medium. The challenge to the writer or artist is to stick within these guidelines. ASCII art will also be accepted and does not need to conform to the above guidelines. Submissions accepted will be seen on cell phones mounted in a public exhibition space in Downtown Providence in July 2008 and possibly other spaces within con·text Pronunciation: \kän-tekst\ Function: noun 1: the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs: environment, setting 2: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning. The Installation Cell phones mounted in the installation space will receive artist created text messages every 30 seconds from a hidden computer. The relationship between art, poetry and prose works will change with the random selection by the computer, but the overall environment will be cohesive. A donation basket for old cell phone(s) from visiting patrons will be on the premises to make donations to a selected charity. The Curator Tim O’Keefe is a composer, sound and graphic artist living in
