Toronto Free Broadcasting
Season 1: Call for Instructional Videos
“How to make a revolution in your kitchen.”
This fall, a learning channel and production studio will occupy the Toronto Free Gallery. For its first season, Toronto Free Broadcasting (TFB)
makes this call for instructional videos on ways you navigate your
environment to yield (or envision) ways to move in-between, and across
boundaries separating "home," "school," "work" and "public space.”
Season 1 submissions will be accepted from July 29th – August 31st, 2009, and made viewable at torontofreebroadcasting.net
. The ongoing archive of instructional videos forms one part of Toronto
Free Broadcasting which also includes a series of live "educational
programs" by artists and instructional video-making workshop nights
held at the Gallery this September and October.
Videos should be between 1 to 10 minutes, documenting your
practical skills, tactics, and knowledges –or those of someone you
know– in forms such as “instructions,” “how-to’s,” “lessons,” “plans,”
and “demonstrations.” Lessons might range from navigating the quickest
route from point A to point B (fence-hopping techniques), to a
step-by-step on negotiation tactics (dancing the tango with three),
etc. These are some examples of knowledges which may not have use in
predetermined day-to-day surroundings, though are useful in their
personal, provisional and speculative grappling with the built
environment. We love to see skills created, applied to situations
particular to you, or which engage in the productive misuse of objects
and spaces.
