International Teletext Festival 2012

Yes. I did say Teletext Festival, Teletext lives on (in Finland in this case). They are having an open call for entries for teletext art. The Festival is in Helsinki in March and submissions will be broadcasted on Finland’s national broadcast service (by the way the examples in the post have been taken from the 2006 teletext event by the same organizers, but they get you in the mood...)

ITAF is organised by FixC cooperative (http;//www.fixc.fi) in collaboration with YLE the national broadcast corporation of Finland. Artists are welcome to participate with 24 - page animations (1 page + 24 sub -pages) or single image works (much easier).

Call for entries here: http://www.fixc.fi/itaf/ 
Send your works by 25th Jan 2012 to: itaf@fixc.fi
