STROBE Network is a temporary channel set to broadcast in June 2015 via live internet stream as part of Flux Factory’s 2015 programming. STROBE Network is a platform for artists to envision what they want out of mass communication that conventional programming denies. In addition to internet streaming, STROBE will welcome a studio audience for live tapings at the sound stage in the Flux gallery in Queens, NY and offer kiosks and viewing parties at a variety of offsite host spaces.
We welcome submissions for live and pre-recorded works that make use of broadcasting as a means of presenting artworks. We are interested in performance, sound, new media, objects and video art (though all media and concepts are encouraged to apply). There are three ways to get involved with STROBE Network:
1. Submitting works for broadcast (suggestions: episodic works, fine art, entertainment, pirated materials, humor, mind expansion, electric boogaloo, art objects, movement and noise).
2. Proposing a position at the Network (suggestions: abstract interpretations of major network roles, executive, weatherman, daytime host, late night band, food stylists, experimental marketers, coders, animators, GIF artists, sound designers, web technicians, graphic designers).
3. Joining the project as a host space (suggestions: art spaces, web publications and venues that wish to host viewing events or programming, spaces in the NYC area interested in hosting a kiosk).
