Portable Document Format

Starting late August any written submissions will be converted into PDF files in order to assure that the work remains as is at the time of submission. Plus that probably means that I can get the submissions up faster. Just to let you know, Open Office allows you to convert documents over to PDF files within the software and it is a free office suite.

Other Art Projects

Ongoing art projects need their own directory of some sort. But this will not serve that purpose. This is merely for those who are interested in the current calls for the artistes. I’m sure participants are greatly appreciated.

01. Mail Me Art
02. Poetic Spam
03. Post Secret
04. The Visual Dictionary
05. Untitled Love Project
06. Various Projects; ISM
07. Visuals from San Francisco
08. What’s Your Project?

Current Challenges

01. The three week challenge is only for those that feel like taking that on. Every single day you are to create some kind of artwork and send it in. It can be anything so long as the effort is put in. For each day missed, as penalty, I added three more days, but you can choose your own penalty. And yes, it will be tough since you will find yourself busy or lacking energy or creativity but that is the point.

02. The collaborative challenge or the original proposition is for everyone who wants to participate. Reload, Remix, Revision is the way to think about it. This is the ultimate goal of the project which is to start working off one another; using the artwork provided to teach and learn new things.

03. Photowalks. If you’re not familiar with the concept, in short photowalks are when you grab your camera and take it for a walk, taking random shots along the way. If this seems like something up your alley, then go for it. I will also be linking blogs if requested so they do not necessarily need to be emailed.

04. Duo Photowalks. I’ve already explained photowalks, but another concept I had slightly varies. Grab another person or a bunch of people and take shots all along the way. Don’t stop one another or warn one another about what you’ll be shooting. After sifting through your pictures (remember to save a set for yourself) send them over to whoever you went with. Then have them alter it anyway they please and vice versa. Then set the pictures up side by side meaning the original you took and what they did to it. This sort of artwork once launched will be set up on blogs rather than the website itself. For this concept, you can either set up your own blog or use ((phnx))’s photowalk blog (make a request and permission shall be bequeathed to you).

05. This one is so obvious it will make you cringe. So you’ve mastered some form of art whether it is sculpture or programming, well, try something new.

((phnx))’s Official Blog

Initially I had no intent of creating an entirely separate blog for the project with the exception of the photowalk blog at Blogger. After pondering on this decision a bit, I rescinded and got a blog so that etc.tech would not carry the burden of being the sole blog. Additionally the participants will be invited to post as they please.

The first few post will be bland, a sort of reference if you will for the project. Then we’ll see where it goes from there. Perhaps this will replace the need for newsletters altogether.
