Artists will create a visual piece in response to one of five musical extracts, in a format of H.264@30 fps in a 9:16 (portrait) aspect ratio. The result will then be a fusion of both components into a resultant audiovisual work.
The call is open to artists living in the Czech Republic no older than thirty-five years old at the time their proposal is submitted.
The selected artists will be paid a fee of 15 000 CZK.
Send a concept for your audiovisual work as a storyboard or still frame (and, optionally, a referential piece of moving image; this can be a sample from an existing work), and a concept proposal for the piece (250–500 words). This text should include an explanation of the planned images, with a focused on the time-based media character of the work and an understanding of the artistic or formal connection between the audio and video components.
Send your proposals by e-mail to info@lunchmeat.cz by June 2nd, 2024, with the subject as “Hearing/Seeing Lastname Firstname”. If you need to send more data, please share your materials through any file sharing site and add a link to your email. Get in touch at the same email address with any other questions.
