[artinfo] BabelFiche - a microfilm museum

[Dave Griffiths]

'Babel Fiche' is a crowd-source animation that collects and remixes 
documentary images.
During spring 2011 we are gathering contemporary video clips that 
describe everyday life around the Earth. It asks which conflicts, 
objects, traditions and fads we want to communicate to a future 
world. These frames will be condensed and printed on microfiche - a 
film medium lasting 500 years.
'Babel Fiche' is an imaginary media for future anthropologists. 
Today's human cultures, physique and technology will inevitably 
develop out of all recognition. How might a future species translate 
our current times?
Be a part of this unique time capsule - submit a 20 second clip 
online - deadline is extended to 1 June 2011. It is totally free and 
open to anyone.

Submit video. Get involved in art direction, writing and sound 
design. Remix the results.

and Video Umbrella, London; and supported by North West Film Archive,
