After the first two calls, we received 16 submissions of very different
style and nature. Remember: Our main theme is *time*. We are starting
with our printouts tomorrow evening and we hope that you send more
submissions during the festival. Our WWW-Pages are in Preparation
and I hope that they will show up in the next days at out server.( See
below).


----->   We are looking for **your** contributions !!!     <------

We are a group of three students at the Academy for Media Arts Cologne
in Germany. We are working together on this project on very different
Backgrounds: art, computer science and design.

In the frame of the German festival of Universities of art, media und music
in Dortmund, we plan to print your pictures and texts using a self -
constructed printer. All contributions will be shown together, without
comment or censorship, on a paper surface of 3x4 meters. From 17 June 1994
to 24 June 1994 we can print about 10 sheets - approx. 8 contributions per
sheet - so that 80 contributions might be able to be realized.

Please send us your contributions to your understanding, feelings, and hopes
when you think about 

                                "time"

, e.g. pictures, drawings, sketches, texts, poems,
sheets of music, soundtexts etc.
On the spot, at any time. The contributions will be saved in the order of
receipt and printed at the time mentioned above.

All results and your contributions are documented in the form of a
World Wide Web Server and will be updated daily during the festival.
Try the URL

        http://www.khm.uni-koeln.de

and see what happens.


The festival will take place in Dortmund, a German town of about 600.000
inhabitants. Places of exhibition are the museum of art "Am Ostwall", the
city hall, and the galery of the Postbank. You can find our printer in the
galery of the Postbank, Hiltropwall 4-12.

Formats for your contributions:

We have built a low-resolution printer in black & white: 2cm dot size,
4x3m printable area. Due to this the pictures should be small, you can
send them in color if you like (for the presentation in the WWW), but
then we have to resize and dither them. I would propose 240 x 160 dots
pictures as normal size. We have to experiment with other dot sizes and
overlap between dots to achieve best results...

Text have to be short, they will also be changed to bitmaps in order to
be printable. If you like, you can do this yourself (then you see how
limited space is). 

Because I can't make up an ftp server for this project, submissions 
should be sent by e-mail. Encode your binary data with uuencode and
include into your mail. You can also add comments to your contribution
which will show up in the WWW-Pages.

Send submissions to:

     han...@obelix.khm.uni-koeln.de

We can process most of the well known picture formats: GIF,JPEG etc.

Thanks in advance 

Hans
