Tracing Lines Project, Call for Entries

Through this project, we aim to collect images of the lines that intersect our daily paths, telephone poles and electrical power lines, radio towers and other parts of the electrical grid and infrastructure that supports our lives that can be a beautiful nuisance to our eyes. The project began in southernCalifornia and Ohio in the US and we are now seeking to collect images from around the world, tracing the lines that connect us to the landscape.

Only digital submissions will be accepted, photographs taken using the iPhone and other mobile devices or other lower resolution images are invited as they are often linked to the geographic coordinates which will assist in tracing the lines across the globe.


Deadline for the first exhibition, Jan 1, 2010 11:59pm EST


There is no fee to submit, please email images to tracinglinesproject@gmail.com with your name and "submission" in the subject heading. Please include your contact information, proper photo credits and as much information as to where the photograph was taken as possible (i.e. intersecting roads, city, state and county). All work submitted will be considered for online exhibitions, future publications and traveling exhibitions.


Locations for 2010-2011 are currently being arranged. If you are interested in bringing the exhibit to your location please email us at tracinglinesproject@gmail.com with "exhibition" in the subject heading.
