ArtCast: open call for sound art

folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in Lancashire,  
Cumbria and online, is developing ArtCast, an ongoing series of  
podcasting programmes at www.folly.co.uk, as a platform for public  
access to new and innovative sound art.

Building on the success of OWN [SOUND] ART (2007) at www.folly.co.uk/ 
soundnetwork, a series of podcasts specially commissioned in  
partnership with SoundNetwork, folly intends to deliver a quarterly  
series of podcasts exploring the possibilities of the medium, and  
will launch the first in this series as part of VELOCITY, folly's  
second Festival of Digital Culture:

VELOCITY Festival of Digital Culture - See the Bay differently
12th October - 3rd November 2007

VELOCITY is ground-breaking new arts festival where you can explore  
digital art in the sublime context of the coastal rail route between  
Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness. Presented in and around train  
stations, online and for download at www.folly.co.uk

VELOCITY is folly's second annual Festival of Digital Culture and  
builds on the success of the f.city festival held in Lancaster city  
centre in 2006 which resulted in over 55,000 people engaging with new  
media art practice.

VELOCITY will open up new ways of seeing life around Morecambe Bay,  
engaging with the vibrant communities that line the coast and  
furthering the role that the arts has in sustaining the spectacular  
landscape of the South Lakes and North Lancashire.

VELOCITY... celebrating the role of creative technology in connecting  
people to places.

folly is calling for open submissions of existing audio work, from  
the broad spectrum of contemporary sound art practice. Submissions  
should address themes and subjects broadly relating to the ethos of  
VELOCITY, including but not limited to: travel, movement, landscape,  
engagement with communities, rural sustainability.

VELOCITY will take place on and around the rail route from Lancaster  
to Barrow-in-Furness in the North West of England, so folly is  
looking for podcastable content which can be downloaded and  
experienced on journeys through and around this area. As part of the  
festival, folly is also keen to broadcast selected works via the loud  
speaker systems at stations along the rail route.

Submissions are welcome from all artists working with sound,  
experimental musicians and composers, writers and performance artists  
etc, basically anyone who has created work which they consider to be  
suitable for an audio podcast.

folly welcome submissions from international artists

The deadline for submissions is 14th September 2007

Sonic Arts Network, www.sonicartsnetwork.org, will join folly in the  
selection of works in late September 2007

Successful submissions will be published as podcasts from 1st October  
2007

Please note that there is no fee available for selected works
