RomaEuropa Fake Factory Competition - 100Spaces call for entries

REFF / RomaEuropa Fake Factory. A detourned competition

RomaEuropa FakeFactory is an international Videoart, Music, Literature, GIF-Art, Architecture, Design, Landscape and Law Art competition started in January 2009 to develop an action/reflection on the meaning of art, culture and creativity in the contemporary era, on the models for access and on the relations among intellectual property and new business models.
The competition, revolves around the “Freedom to Remix” theme, and is dedicated to young creatives, new media artists, writers, musicians, architects, designers, landscape artists, jurists and to intellectual property enthusiasts and researchers, but also to all those cybernauts that have a will to get their creativity involved.

PRIZES

The competition does not assign prizes or create linear rankings. The prize consists in the critical review of the works and in their active promotion through operators and distribution circuits, starting from the international network of the 70+ partners that are currently supporting REFF, and in the creation of public events creating involvement and visibility.

With this goal in mind, the works will be reviewed by the curators through an open, transparent and monitorable online process. The scientific committee will participate to the evaluation process, just as the public audience, that will be able to contribute through the mechanisms of voting and commenting, available on the platform.

The works will be used to form a catalog that will be the final product of the overall evaluation and review process.

Everything will flow, in fall 2009, into a big exhibition/performance happening, distributed around several locations in Rome, London, New York, and possibly some more.

100 Spaces / Call For Entries
The REFF competition in a series 100 Spaces contest is an international design, architecture, landscape competition for students and young architects/designers/landscape designers (under 40).
The subject of the competition is Freedom to remix where remixes gain value as an opportunity to create an “in progress” archive of design/architecture/landscape propositions, that are project/methodological explorations models, capable of reacting in the face of continuous transformations of contemporary social needs and that, transcending all permanent and immobile characteristics, may be created and recreated according to the needs of inhabitants/users/consumers who become producers of different meanings within an aesthetic vision of an infra-ordinary universe. 
The competition’s theme requires design/architecture/landscape proposals that are examples of mutation/dynamism/ubiquity/multi-functionality/eco-responsability; interactive projects, diversified factors’ containers, sign montages, representations of moving landscapes, solutions that may be re-interpreted by the individual who, having re-gained the creative process, uses/lives/explores them according to a self-regulating principle. 

Our goal is to realize a map where the coordinates are able to subvert the idea of a centre, where the user/consumer is to become the protagonist of an ideal, transitory, continually evolving scenario, populated by multiple centralities, a privileged location for differences.

The most meaningful and innovative works will be inserted in a catalogue and exposed in a specific exhibition.

The jury is composed of: Francesca Canu, Serena D’Ambrogi, Antonin Josef di Santantonio, Maurizio Gargano, Maria Rita Intrieri, Fulvio Lenzo, Andrea Masciantonio, Rossella Ongaretto, Stefano Ostinelli, Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, Paola Zampa

curator: Rossella Ongaretto
