Liquid Architecture Sydney

LIQUID ARCHITECTURE (SYDNEY) is calling for submissions for sound-based installation works and video-based short screen works to be presented at Liquid Architecture 9, Sydney 2008.

Liquid Architecture is Australia’s premier sound-arts festival that celebrates the diverse methods of sound making and sound theory. Occurring annually since 2000, Liquid Architecture is a sense specific festival that focuses upon sound practice in all its manifestations. Due to the cross disciplinary potential of sound, the artistic content of the festival encompasses many art practices, presented in the form of live performances, exhibitions, installations, AV presentations and recorded works. A key objective of the festival is the promotion of artists practicing on the periphery of music and sound culture, particularly those with an experimental aesthetic and a critical approach to media cultures. Liquid Architecture is held annually in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and features performances and works by Australian and international artists.

1. Installations
Liquid Architecture Sydney is calling for submissions for sound-based installations. We are seeking discrete sound works that are “over-spill” sensitive or that utilise headphones. Installation sounds should be brief, soft or otherwise non-competitive with other installations.
