30S | Submission Guidelines

AGENCY has been selected to exhibit at the Venice Biennale (La Biennale di Venezia), acting as ambassadors for SUPERFRONT in collaboration with At Work With at the Nordic Pavilion to realize “30S”, a crowdsourced video installation addressing the role of the architect in the design of public space. Please see Exhibit Description for more information about the theme.

You can be part of the exhibit!

AGENCY kindly asks that you film your primary architectural workspace from a static vantage point, for 30 seconds, during your normal workday.
Contributors are encouraged not to edit, alter, or tidy their workspace for purposes of the video, to leave all traces of productivity, personality, and creative expression.
Filmed workspaces should be where you spend the most time during the day, and can include computer stations, drafting tables, model shops, fabrication labs, construction sites, classrooms, or a host of other environments conducive to architectural endeavor.
No one should be filmed while working at the workstation. Just step away from your workstation and film what you see throughout the day. Your workstation, through your eyes.
Upload exactly 30 seconds of digital video to your account on YouTube, and email a link to your video to 30S@agencyarchitecture.com with 30S in the subject line. Please send a link only. Video files sent to this address, and links to other online video services will not be reviewed or shown.
For crediting purposes, please name your video on YouTube in the following format:

30S_AGENCY_FirstName_LastName_City

substituting your first name, last name, and location of video in the appropriate spaces

Full credit will be given to all contributors whose videos are shown as part of the exhibit.

The exhibit opens on Tuesday, October 19. Join AGENCY, The Nordic Pavillion, and SUPERFRONT in person, or over Skype for a special introduction to the project at 5:00pm Venice time (CEST/UTC+2). ’30S’ will be on display from October 19, 2010 through the end of the Biennale on November 22, 2010.

Submissions will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until October 19, 2010. Late submissions will be reviewed and accepted on a weekly basis until November 21, 2010.
