Phoenix cinema and art centre in Leicester, UK is pleased to announce ‘The Wall: Digital Revelations’, a new media wall open call opportunity for artists and code-based practitioners.
Commissioned artworks will accompany Phoenix’s upcoming exhibitions, Virtual Textual and Digital Femininity, expanding upon their themes and offering audiences an interactive opportunity. There will be one media wall commission per exhibition. Proposed artworks need to use one of two code templates, Java Script Web App or Unity Body Tracking, that are available to download from GitHub. The Virtual Textual commission will be installed on 13 October 2023, and the Digital Femininity commission on 19 January 2024.
Selected artists will be paid a fee of £1000 and will receive conceptual and technical support. Additional costs associated with the production will be considered.
Selected artists will also be supported with a programme of online mentorship in the month preceding the launch of their commission. The mentorship programme will be aligned to the development of the commissioned work, featuring a mixture of conceptual and technical discussions and support. Phoenix advise that the development of the commission should be concentrated within this month.
