Too Much Freedom?
LA Freewaves 10th Celebration of Experimental Media Arts


Institutions have historically struggled to find a balance between the expressive rights of the individual and the innate desire for societal stability. Throughout modern history, artists have been in the forefront of those dialogues.

Freewaves 10th festival re-examines freedom and its consequences with film, video and new media exploring a multiplicity of cultural values, including artistic invention, political experience and human need.

The showcase will present experimental media art from around the world at art venues in Los Angeles in November 2006 and through the Freewaves web site. Media art works include experimental video and film (narrative, documentary, art, animation, etc.), DVDs, web sites, simple installations, and video billboards. Works from the festival will also appear on public television, cable stations and video-streamed on the Internet. Competitive selection process will be conducted by a group of international and local curators with diverse specialties and backgrounds. Notification of acceptance is in July 2006. Artists will be paid $200 for selected works.
