International Festival on VideoPoetry in Buenos Aires

I've recently been invited to this new festival and they are looking for videopoetry works and installations. Their director writes,"The eye is an asteroid floating symmetrically along the boundaries of the brain galaxy. A planet requiring a geographical outline filled with poetic flora and fauna in which mankind takes in air as a blessing.

The ear is like a labyrinth funnel which goes twice into the human cavity. A corner which calls for a Minotauric Ariadnes to sing, to speak, to blow winds of echoing, to remain silent; where all that is possible lives and even what has not yet been imagined.

In a society remotely directed by screens, take them over suddenly and turn them into means of artistic transmission, electronic enriching, audiovisual poetry.
