The latest Currents CFP says that "Currents invites—along with traditional academic submissions—audio essays, podcasts, oral histories, interviews, and other audio recorded genres, as well as webpages, videos, animations, slide presentations, etc.,that address sound-related issues." What does it mean to have a piece that theoretically and practically advances ideas about sound, retaining a focus on the auditory sense, while incorporating video or imagery? Some pieces to inspire you follow after the break. The deadline for the CFP is January 10, 2011.

We are really digging the poster for the upcoming DJ Spooky event!  The artist who did the poster for the event is named Rob Mack.  His new collection of art is displayed here at Philistine Workshop, and his more commercial portfolio is Eternal Return.  For more on DJ Spooky, see my post from last week on Spooky's Art.
