International Teletext Art Festival 2012
To be held in March, exhibits and submissions will be broadcasted on Finland’s national broadcast service.
To anyone unfamiliar to Teletext, it was an information service that was supplied through televisions (mainly Europe) throughout the 80s (more at Wikipedia).
Anyone is eligible to submit work, but the deadline is the 25th of January. To make your own, and you have a PC, you can find instructions plus software via here.
I will warn you - despite the lo-fi level of the graphics, it’s a bit more trickier than expected. Here is an example I put together a year ago:
More information about the event can be found on the official page here
Artist Max Capacity has created works using the Telextext format as a canvas - examples can be found on his Tumblr here (he has submitted work for the event!)
PS - the above examples have been taken from a teletext event from 2006 by the same organizers - you can see the rest of the entries here.
Wow, who knew you could get art out of teletext!
