THE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF TIME-BASED MEDIA
PRESENTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION CALL FOR ENTRIES
Deadline: JANUARY 15, 2002

THE AIM FESTIVAL
AIM, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Arts, Los Angeles, is pleased to present AIM III: Luna Park - a series of critical inquiries into the crucial issues raised by the nexus of art, technology, entertainment and activism in the context of globalization and the rising privatization of culture.
At the core of this debate is the ascendance of entertainment and our ubiquitous, and largely unquestioned, fascination with the spectacular. Further festival details, on website.

THE AIM III INTERNATIONAL ON-LINE STUDENT COMPETITION
AIM III seeks student entries for its International Student Competition.
The selected entries will be hosted by AIM in an online exhibition, featured in an exhibition at the Helen Lindhurst Fine Arts Gallery, and will become part of the pool of works that the AIM festival draws on when touring internationally.
Prizes include the $1000 USC SOFA Award.
Awards will be made by a distinguished jury that includes designer, writer and researcher Brenda Laurel, and author, researcher, and curator Erkki Huhtamo.

SUBMISSION CRITERIA:
Works must be 'time-based' and created by a student, of any age, working in any discipline.
Works should also be capable of exhibition on the Internet, and address the festival theme.
AIM defines 'time-based' to include: websites, Internet projects, film, video, digital video, hand-drawn and digital animation, interactive computer games, sound pieces, digital media, CD-ROMs, and DVDs - as well as various emerging hybrids that elude traditional categorization.

All submitted works must be completed after October 1, 1999, and be complete enough for on-line presentation at the time of submission. All entries must be postmarked no later than January 15, 2002.

Submission to AIM is free.
