Greetings,
+ please forward +
This email is a call for submissions from theorists and practitioners in the following fields: Art, Architecture, Communication, Comparative Philosophy, Computation, Computer Audio, Critical Theory, Design, Literature, Media (New and Old), Music, Performance, and Software Design.
SCALE (http://scale.ucsd.edu) would like to encourage you to submit "work" for its upcoming online-only August & September issue. SCALE is a non-profit journal that explores new modes of production and dissemination based on open-source and networked communities.
The theme for the August/September SCALE is APOCALYPSE. As we look forward to the coming election in November, it seems prudent to reinvest ourselves in exploring the possibilities of our own self-destruction. Often rooted in religious and science-fiction genres, apocalyptic themes have proven fruitful as a framework from which to question our collective hopes, fears, and concerns, on a local and universal scale. In your submissions, feel free to explore and exploit your personal imaginations of APOCALYPSE as a loose starting point for your submission. Please keep in mind that SCALE likes to abide by terms obliquely, and as such encourages all types of submissions, from dirty sketches and musings, to polished images and essays.
Initially formulated within the graduate programs of the Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, SCALE was created by Jon Phillips (http://www.rejon.org) and Patrick W. Deegan (http://www.pwdeegan.org) as a strategy of response to a growing interest in developing Open Source communities across the globe. SCALE is a monthly publication living in both PDF print and online PDF/WIKI format.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
+ Additional instructions for submission can be found at http://scale.ucsd.edu under “Read the File and Style Guidelines.”
+ Text or Image submissions must be in PDF format NOT exceeding 10MB and 8.5” x 11”in dimension. Because this month is ONLINE-ONLY, color submissions are encouraged. Images must be 300dpi.
+ Multimedia submissions will be hyperlinked for download from a page within in the compiled PDF publication. If submitting a file for linkage, it is recommended you also submit some type of graphic image in consideration of how your piece will be represented in the layout. By doing so, we can include the URL to your file within the image provided by you. If other circumstances are desired, please let us know.
+ For Multimedia submissions, please upload the actual file and NOT the URL to where it is located on behalf of your own site. WE WILL BE HOSTING THESE FILES ON THE SCALE SERVER. However, mentions of your respective websites are allowed.
+ All work submitted will be initially accredited to you unless suggested otherwise, however, in its online format the work will be deemed Open Content (as defined by http://www.creativecommons.org) and could possibly be subject to artistic reinterpretation (at a later date) on behalf of SCALE’s community of readers.
