VP's 25th Anniversary: Call for Anecdotes

It's Video Pool Media Art Centre's 25th Anniversary, and we're thinking back on the great times we've had together...

Dear Members,

2008 marks 25 years since Video Pool Media Arts Centre came into being. As part of a month-long celebration that involves the commission of six intriguing new media art projects, we are creating a commemorative poster, and we invite all of you to contribute.

In point form, tell us something you remember about Video Pool that stands out in your mind as being an important part of it's history or your history as a member.
  • Did Video Pool resources help make it possible for you to finish work for a significant screening or exhibition?
  • Do you remember the day an exciting new piece of equipment was taken out of its box and plugged in?
  • Do you have fond memories about a particular exhibition, screening, lecture, or party?
Your contributions will be assembled into a creative, organic, unofficial, speculative, events-oriented, and of course, anecdotal picture of Video Pool's quarter century.

Please send in your memories and ideas to Milena Placentile, Programming Coordinator via e-mail: vpprogramming [at] videopool [dot] org.

The deadline for participation is January 11, 2008.

We appreciate the time taken to submit an anecdote, story, or interesting fact and we will aim to include as many as possible. Please note that it may be necessary for us to edit submissions for length.

Thank you in advance; we look forward to your contributions!
