1. Digital Fringe 2008 call for submissions

*Digital Fringe* is now accepting entries (video, stills or audio).
Ferret around your hard drives, dig out those gems and have your work seen on hundreds of public screens. Uploaded content will play on an extensive network of screens around the world: from retail television display walls to huge urban screens, hospitality venues, galleries, libraries and many other public nooks and crannys. Artists retain full copyright of their works and have the option of utilising the Creative Commons licensing scheme.

Digital Fringe is also chasing *more screening venues* - so if you know of any idle screens in need of interesting art content in your area (in bars, shops, ....wherever) put them in touch with us or let us know at: people [at] digitalfringe [dot] com [dot] au

Visit www.digitalfringe.com.au to submit your works, and for more
festival info.

Digital Fringe is produced by *Horse Bazaar* as part of the Melbourne
Fringe Festival (September 24 - October 12)

2. OUTPOST workshop and jam, La Trobe University Art Museum
17, 18, 19 September 2008, 7pm start each night

Join new media arts collective OUTPOST for a free open jam and workshop. The collective are accomplished sound engineers, musicians and artists who work with the mediums of film, video and audio. In this workshop OUTPOST will take the exhibition Neomorphics (Neugemüse), by local visual artist Vera Möller, and use her work as a stimulus to create new audio and visual work projected on to the walls of the gallery. Participants are invited to bring their own video footage, mp3 players, synthesisers, samplers and any other noise making device and a laptop to process the sounds and images live. Those without their own gear are welcome to come along and join in the experience. The OUTPOST crew will be there to provide a flavor of what a live audio visual jam looks, sounds, and feels like as well as offering the opportunity to talk about the hardware and software used in the performance. Melbourne’s OUTPOST are Lucy Benson, Eugenia Lim, Byron Scullin, Joe Talia and Dan West. They are part of Share, a support and infrastructure mechanism for new media communities worldwide, hosting open multimedia jams in public venues. Encouraging experimentation with sound and vision, OUTPOST work in the innovative realm of the new media artist. The collective creates work using technologies and software, the majority of which is unique to our current digital age and time.
