WHAT IS NANOFESTIVAL?

ZEROGLAB NANOFESTIVAL is a parasite, portable, 
adoptable, resizable, open source, international 
art festival for extreme short (10 sec.!) web 
movies and software art. Nanofestival as an event 
is also establishing a new model for cultural 
engineering. Not only the individual works that 
are open source, but the whole festival can be 
'picked, taken and presented' for free, and by 
anyone on a single cd-rom.

The event is organized by ZEROGLAB, an 
independent art-lab in Rotterdam. 
[http://www.xs4all.nl/~are ]
The festival is a sequence of events, with a different theme every time.

If you like the idea and want to participate, 
please fill the entry form at the end of this 
page and send it to:

2. CONTRIBUTION / MODERATION / ETC.
Anyone can contribute. After sending your entry 
form, please place your work at your own website, 
or in a place where anyone can access it. We have 
only a limited web space on our own, so we are 
not able to store large movie files. 
Nevertheless, we are building a archive of the 
submitted works.

The screenings are editions, and not presenting 
all the submitted works. The reason for this is 
rather technical. Because many works are not in 
movie file format, it is sometimes not possible 
to convert them to mini-dv or streaming video, or 
the like. The nano website contains all 
submissions in the form of a somewhat criptic 
database.

PLEASE MAKE SURE, YOUR WEB LINKS ARE WORKING BY 31 OCTOBER 2003


4. COPYRIGHT ISSUES
By submitting your work to the festival, you 
agree that you let others copy, distribute, 
display, and perform your work and derivative 
works based upon it but for noncommercial 
purposes only, and only if they give you credit.
