VIDEOART & EXPERIMENTAL AUDIO-VISUAL ART CALL FOR MADATAC & TRANSFERA TV

CYBORG CULTURE AND AUDIO-VISUAL ART FOR THE END OF TIMES

Spain and International/ It is left open without restrictions a call to 
select, by means of a criteria in which will be valued particularly  the 
experimentation, the innovation, the quality and risk, the creations of 
all those audio-visual artists who wish that their works are promoted 
and broadcast through the independent program Transfera and MADATAC04 
Festival.
The content of the TV program Transfera is exclusively dedicated to 
divulge Video Art and Audio-Visual Art in all its modalities, any 
processes of image-sound interaction, without exclusion of 
experimental-expanded cinema, with the aim to disclose to the great 
public a view of the consolidated video artists and offer a platform for 
all those emergent video artists with a future projection who contribute 
with renewing proposals, avoid conventional visual language and does not 
find their place in other mass media spaces.
Due to the difficult challenge that supposes to maintain a project of 
this spread, destined essentially to compensate the well-known media 
absence,  the relation with the artists will be based on a principle of 
promotion and visibility, a guideline directed to strengthen the 
sustainability of the program.
However, all the received material will enter, unless the authors 
express the contrary, in the selection for the IV Edition of MADATAC, 
the Contemporary New Media & Audio-Visual Arts Festival, that Transfera 
organize on December 12th, 2012 in Madrid, Spain,
. This event will serve to prize the best videos among the selected and 
emitted in the program during the related period
