CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Terrra Incognita. Tell Your story! 
new media workshop

27 October-2 November 2003
Cluj, Romania
_____________________________________________

Dear colleagues and friends,

We have the pleasure to inform you that the AltArt Foundation, with support
from the European Cultural Foundation, organises the workshop Terrra
Incognita. Tell Your story! which will take place in Cluj, Romania from 27th
of October till 2nd of November 2003.

The Terra Incognita project series is committed to the discovery of new
territories in cyberspace, by developing Internet content about socially,
politically, ideologically or geographically isolated cultures - ones
net-citizens aren't aware of. Terra Incognita 1 took place in 2000, and
explored the cultures and civilization of Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and
Nepal. Terra Incognita 2, within a computer game-like framework targeted
towards the general public- took place in 2001, taking a community of over
5000 members to various objectives in Cuba and Jamaica. 

Terra Incognita Tell Your story!  project focuses on exploring the diversity
of the urban environment. The workshop will bring together new media artists
from different countries in Europe. During the one-week workshop the
participants will explore the urban landscape in Cluj, meet people and learn
about their stories and then re-tell these stories using different new media
art forms - short films, animations, photographs, hypertext, and audio
sequences. 

The project intends to encourage a complementary understanding of European
culture as the rich cultural heritage of the past, by promoting the cultural
values of today's Europe. We hope that participation in the project will
help both artists and public appreciate more the cultural diversity of our
living environment. 

We would like to ask you to distribute this information to your colleagues,
friends and to other professionals who might be interested in taking part
and you consider appropriate candidates.
