“Then, what if?”- an exploration of intentionality and randomness

60 sound pieces and 60 videos will be selected from the call for entries. They will be subject to random and/or intentional pairings for public presentation in a variety of venues. A new web page will be constructed using these works. The web interface will allow visitors to randomly pair sound pieces and videos to create a wide array of juxtapositions and experiences of this collection of sound and image (3600 potential pairings). Additionally, visitors will have the choice to hear/view selected works independently with links to producers. See the existing page from the first call in 2009: http://www.nmnmne.org/what_if.php

Additionally, the project will be available as a screening event to galleries, museums, schools, festivals, etc. A new random shuffle will be generated to create a unique program for each screening event.
