Join a Worldwide Phenomenon: Telephone!
Attention all UWGB students and faculty: You are invited to join Telephone: A Game of Art Whispered Around the World.
Telephone is an international art project created in 2010 by Nathan Langston, a multimedia artist and software engineer. After moving from Portland, Oregon, to New York City, Nathan wanted a way to connect and collaborate with fellow artists. He came up with an art version of the childhood game Telephone.
“Telephone is an arts game in which a message is passed, not just from person to person, but from art form to art form. So a message could become a poem and then painting, film, music, sculpture, dance and so on,” writes Langston on the Telephone website. “[This] international art game connect[s] over one thousand artists from hundreds of cities across the world.”
Visit the site to learn more about the concept behind Telephone, as well as the people and the process of developing this collaborative game.
The third cycle of Telephone is now open for submissions, and you are all invited! Submit your name here and join the Telephone community.
“We’re calling all musicians, graphic artists, filmmakers, dancers, and more to apply — the application takes only five minutes and is the opportunity to join one of the largest cooperative multi-genre art projects in the world,” writes Langston.
