]]> The Babelgum Metropolis Art Prize now has over 450 individual entries from five continents. Launched in September 2009 the Babelgum Metropolis Art Prize sought videos, of no more than 5 minutes in length, representing the work of the best and edgiest artists working in any medium, from performance art, painting and photography to sculpture, installation and new media. Last week we featured ‘London’ by Luke Jackson, this week we embed ‘drift’, captured using a still camera it is supremely well done:


Artists are competing for three prizes worth a total of $30,000 and prize winners and runners-up will see their videos screened on New York’s famous Times Square monitors on the 17th December. The “Grand Prize” and the “Best Street Art Video Award” winners will be selected by an illustrious judging panel led by iconic art-house actress and video artist Isabella Rossellini and the online and mobile community will vote on the winner of the “Audience Award”.

]]> Babelgum Metropolis is looking for the globe’s best and edgiest artists for what is being termed’the world’s biggest art show’. Winners will have their work shown on giant advertising screens this December in Times Square, the neon heart of New York City.

Out of the notable nominees is Luke Jackson’s Goodbye London video, directed by Murray John. The video features a mix of stop motion photography and drawn 2-D animation using After Effects. Having just moved to the heart of Camden Town ourselves we really like the video, in fact we love it:

Luke and Murray collaborated on the video via email, attempting to capture the bittersweet sentiment of the song’s lyric. They didn’t actually meet until the video was almost finished.

You can vote for your favorites by clicking the thumbs-up icon beneath the videos over at http://www.babelgum.com/metropolisartprize.

There are some fantastic videos featured, the voting period is 4th November – 2nd December.
