AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

ELIGIBILITY RULES | 2011 CALL FOR ENTRIES

http://www.puntoyrayafestival.com/

Punto y Raya Festival explores the ultimate synthesis of the form·movement duality in different spheres of human endeavour. Due to the simplicity of its criteria, it seeks to reveal the limitations and achievements of our representation systems using abstraction's prime matter.

This entry call is addressed to audiovisual pieces built up entirely from dots and lines. No representation whatsoever, just dots and lines as ends in themselves!

:: GENERAL RULES

: The films must be made entirely with dots and lines avoiding representation.

:You can use any kind of illustration, optic and animation techniques. From the pen to the stylus, from the analogical·dot to the digital·pixel.
