Description
4Culture’s Storefront Media Gallery, formerly called e4c, presents electronic artworks to an urban audience on the go. Its four storefront screens face Prefontaine Place South, where more than 20,000 pedestrians, bicyclists, and bus riders pass each day. The program offers digital media artists a public presentation opportunity while enlivening the urban core.
Media artists working in all genres may propose new work or submit completed work. Selected artists present one to three artworks in rotation for up to one year. Works up to five minutes are desired, and artworks should not depend heavily on sound because of street noise and the moving audience. Selection emphasizes demonstrated or potential artistic merit, engaging media content, regional and cultural diversity, and appropriateness for a public location.
