About
Submit moving image, sound, and hybrid media works exploring animality, non-human perception, ecological imaginaries, technological creatures, and emerging relationships between humans and non-human worlds.
Overview
Post-Animal Signal is an international open call for moving image, sound, and hybrid media works exploring animality, non-human perception, ecological imaginaries, technological creatures, and emerging relationships between humans and non-human worlds. Selected works will be presented in a physical exhibition at Molend Space, Glasgow, Scotland.
Themes
The exhibition explores how animals exist within language, memory, perception, and media, asking how animals are seen and narrated, how humans and non-humans coexist, and whether fictional, digital, or algorithmic creatures might be considered forms of life. Themes of interest include urban wildlife, AI-generated creatures, post-nature, non-human perception, machine ecology, virtual pets, sonic biology, mythological beings, deep-sea species, networked life, animality in video games, bio-horror, collective intelligence, ecological collapse, and algorithmic reproduction.
Media & Format
- Experimental film, video art, animation, audiovisual work, sound art, pure sound work, hybrid media, CGI and AI-generated video, video essays, expanded cinema documentation
Eligibility
This open call is open to artists, filmmakers, animators, sound artists, researchers, collectives, students, and independent practitioners from all countries and backgrounds.
