VECTOR FESTIVAL 2025: Screening

Call for Submissions

We invite the submission of time-based video, film, and moving image works for screening consideration.

The 12th edition of Vector Festival, 404_not_found, will resurface our forgotten realities of the 1:1 relationship between digital representations of the physical. If we held close the understanding that our digital memories had physical footprints – motherboards that can corrode or servers that require maintenance – would we still expect immortality from the web? How can we build websites that are meant to decay, perennial files, or computers that are only awake with the sun? Can our machines teach us to celebrate impermanence?

Artworks included in the festival are asked to respond to the festival theme.
