Dear film makers, researchers, producers, circuit benders, painters, sculptors, VJs, DJs, students and teachers, dear friends of EMERGEANDSEE!

As you probably know, our three festival sections (short films, audio/visual exhibition and lectures) now centre on an annual topic.

The festival topic for 2011 will be: En Détail.

We thought the Detail to be a small but strong unit in our everyday perception, thinking and creating. The philosophical fascination with Micro-/Macrocosm, optical tools and artistic techniques have a long history. Today, where most digital stuff surrounding us consists of huge amounts pixels and samples, the obsession with the tiny details has probably even increased. We want more megapixels, higher sampling rates, higher FPS, slower slow motion, shorter tweets, so we can read faster, zoom in further, investigate more closely.

On the other hand: We need the big picture.

So, after looking at the Metropolis in 2010, a rather big unit, when talking about space and society, we  now look forward to gathering artistic and theoretical views on the Détail of people from all around the world in order to present them at the Berlin Event in May 2011.

Our call for entries goes out to anyone creating images, thoughts, sounds or objects that could add their detail to EMERGEANDSEE 2011!
