“Communication Noise” | Open call for GIF animations and memes
“Communication noise” is an open call for GIF animations i memes organized as a part of the Media Mediterranea 21 festival program. We are interested in your interpretations of the problem of noise in digital communication and your creations of GIF animations or memes on this subject.
Communication noise can be an error or a glitch made in the usage of digital media. Some of the examples are incomplete downloads of the photos, corrupted files, glitches in live stream on Facebook, Instagram errors, misunderstandings in text communication on Messenger, online trolling, GIFs and memes that you sent or received in online communication and so on. Because of the fast way of life, we are often communicating with pictures, memes and GIFs, and we are interested in those that function as noise, an error or disturbance in communication.
You can send us your own GIF animations and memes or you can upload a photo on one of the internet service for generating GIF animations such as www.photomosh.com or use templates for memes imgflip.com/memetemplates.
