Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 20:30:28 -0700 From: Camille Baker <camib@telus.net> Subject: (Xchange) Digital Art Submissions Wanted WANTED: Digital Arts, Video, Animation, and Photography Submissions Tales of Slacker Bonding is for all slackers who've ever been hopelessly in love, fallen heartbroken and battered out of it, mourned over the lack of it, and then thought they had it all figured out. We are also the destination for web savvy Gen-Xers looking to share ideas about film, music and social commentary Tales of Slacker Bonding: www.slackerbonding.com is currently seeking digital artists, web video makers animators and photographers to submit work inspired by relationships, Generation X, pop culture and how they all intertwine. Before you check out what we?e after, understand that we can? offer payment as of yet, but you get a little fame and fodder for your portfolio in exchange. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GENERAL STYLE AND TONE FOR THE SITE: This site is meant to be simultaneously intimate, smart, emotional, and irreverent. Make your work dynamic, original and energetic, but also with a message and context. First person perspective is preferred. Explorations of sex and sexuality in the context of relationships are fine, but keep it relevant and not pornographic. Send us your finished piece or a concept for a piece that will strum or snap heart strings with a personal take on any aspect of modern love and relationships: The whip of cruel heartbreak, the fleeting fire of lust, the delusions of illogical crushes, the electronic joy of modem love, or the bad-for-you lure of destructive relationships. We also want digital poetry ? be it Flash or Shockwave or traditional video format. Again, all we ask is that it's edgy, compelling and original. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CURRENT THEMES LOOKING FOR WORK: "Children of Pop Culture" Are all Gen-Xers pop culture junkies worshipping at the Church of the Poisoned Mind?

Well, we can't fix your relationship, but we'll let you vent - Some ideas or themes to inspire your work: * Do you have an incredible fear of commitment that prevents you from having long-term relationships? * Have you had someone actually prevent you from breaking it off? Or stalked you after you did? * How did you feel when your girlfriend broke up with you over the phone or email or ICQ? * When is it over? Is there anyway to know? * Why did you leave when it wasn't time to ? * How did you tell your friend to dump that idiot already? * How do you feel as the "rebound" - insulted or complimented? Show us somehow * Are you in one of those relationships where you've split up but keep having sex? What's it like? * Create something that expresses your worst, your weirdest, your best breakups. * What's the worst reason you've been dumped? (Like to date their mom or something) Express it baby!
