*Call for Artwork: BUSHWICK VISUALS by MeKaniKdolls**

BUSHWICK VISUALS - collective video project composed by MeKaniKdolls

On April 25th, Lumenhouse will be hosting a benefit to ensure their continued presence in Bushwick. Lumenhouse has been incredibly generous to Arts in Bushwick, donating their space for many events including AIB benefit for Bushwick Open Studios. Please help us help them.

We would like to compile a collection of digital visuals that will reflect on the creative energy of the Bushwick community, bringing the collective experience together to re-compose a video projection as part of the benefit event paired with the after party. We believe it is crucial in these times of economic hardship to stress the importance of creative community, and to keep alive the artistic support in the spirit of maintaining this important institution — Lumenhouse.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- Submit any digital visual (photography and/or video) that reflects your experience in the community and the neighborhood. The visuals should be in the manner of short snapshots of people, places, events, objects and experiences.

-Along with your submission please include: Name, E-Mail, and How you found out about the project.

-Preferred method of submission is via email attachment at BUSHWICKVISUALS@GMAIL.COM

*For large files up to 2GB, you can upload the file to our Dropbox on YouSendIt at : http://dropbox.yousendit.com/BushwickVisuals4535111

**Accepted Formats**

-Photographs should be in the following formats: JPEG or TIFF @ 72dpi (minimum)

-Video is accepted in the following formats: Quicktime MOV, MP4, or AVI (all compressed)

-The submissions should be: unedited, with no titles or credits, no trailers

**Please keep in mind that these images and videos will be re-composed as part of a new, live video piece, constructed as a dynamic visual as part of the after party DJ set. The new compilation will be manipulated by the performance sound project MeKaniKdolls. Participating individuals will be credited.**

-And remember — You do not need to be visual artist - We want submissions from everyone.

A semi-new video I did a while back with the help of my sister. She's a deaf educator, so I used her skills in sign language to convey meaning with out sound in this piece. More updates soon on all the things I've been up to. Enjoy!

MeKaniKdolls ON AIR! - NexusRadio 1650AM - 1/17/2009

HI friends. Tomorrow (Saturday) from 12pm-6pmEST we will be featured on a radio program titled RADIOART, by Cambra Moniz-Edwards. Moniz-Edwards, a sound artist from New School, will be performing a 6-hour live DJ set/Transmission piece featuring the work of HyperAcousia/Joan Schuman, MeKaniKdolls, and more TBA.

On air you will be able to hear a live recording of a recent performance, and an interview/artist talk about our work and upcoming projects with radio.

The only drawback, you can only tune in if you're in the Philly and nearby areas of PA, on 1650AM. Super analog, but a downloadable version should be available shortly after.
