Wavelength seeks video art for #pandemicprojections – Visions for a New Normal – a one night drive-in video event at Gardenship, an artist-run collider space on the site of a former shipyard in Kearny, NJ.

The screening takes place on the evening of Saturday, August 28th 2021.
THEME: Visions for a New Normal follows the first edition of #pandemicprojections, which took place over the course of 10 evenings at the height of the pandemic in spring/summer 2020. The events focused on themes of Nature/Spring/Rebirth.

One year later, Wavelength is once again inviting artists to consider the future. What do you hope for? What do you envision? What has been lost? What would you like to regain? What does the future hold? Artists are asked to submit work in response to these prompts. Wavelength is particularly interested in images that will read well outdoors on a large projection screen approximately 70 feet wide (i.e. – saturated colors, large shapes, bold imagery), and in experimental video and sound. The event will be a drive-in format with sound transmitted over FM radio as well as a speaker system.
