Call to Artists: Art in Motion V: SYZYGY 
(The Human Remix) 
2003-09-24 until 2003-11-30

AIM, the University of Southern California 
School of Fine Arts’ international 
festival of time-based media, in 
partnership with the Armory Center for the 
Arts, Pasadena, is pleased to announce AIM 
V: SYZYGY (The Human Remix). AIM V: SYZYGY 
calls for entries that explore the 
question of the human/machine ‘remix’. 
Derived from a Greek root meaning “yoked 
or paired”, syzygy implies a state of 
interdependent duality that speaks to the 
increasingly permeated relationship 
between human and machine. 


In this renegotiation of what it is and 
means to be human, we are exploring the 
ramifications of the ‘remix’ – its impact 
on human relationships (from global to 
interpersonal), on perception and the 
expression of subjectivity (human and/or 
machine), and on the experience of being a 
body (physical or virtual, flesh or 
machine). 

The AIM V: SYZYGY (The Human Remix) 
exhibition will be held March 7 – June 6, 
2004 at the Armory Center for the Arts, 
Pasadena. AIM V will also include 
screenings on the video billboards on West 
Hollywood’s Sunset strip and satellite 
lectures and events in Los Angeles, Hong 
Kong, and Cusco, Peru. 

SUBMISSION CRITERIA: 

Works must be 'time-based' and address the 
festival theme (however obliquely). Works 
may be submitted by anyone working in any 
discipline and/or medium. 

Submission to AIM is free. Submit 
proposals and/or copies of projects (no
