[UC-ODDMUSIC] IMC-OMNIA

[Andrew Heathwaite]

CALLING ALL craftspeople, artists, makers,   do-it-yourself-ers:

ODDMUSIC-UC is hosting an open-space open-house 24-hour flash media fest at the 
Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center.

When and Where? 7PM Friday, November 19 to 7PM  Saturday, November  20, 2010.  
Participants meet in the Family Room of  the IMC at 7PM on Friday to start their 
projects.  The event culminates  in a public showing at 7PM the next day, so if 
you don’t have time for  the whole shebang, you can come just for that.

This is an opportunity for YOU to self-organize that   project you always wanted 
to do but never had the time. Give yourself   the gift of 24 hours and discover 
the value of a constraint!
Some  things you could do:
	* Write, produce, and stage a play… in 24 hours
	* Record an album … in 24 hours
	* Build a fort out of balloons… in 24 hours
	* Film a movie or write   a novel… in 24 hours
	* Design and create a costume or quilt… in 24 hours (the  theater  people may 
need it)
	* Teach a foreign language… for 24 hours
	* Build instruments out of bicycle parts or vegetables, and  start a  band… in 
24 hours
	* Design and build a network infrastructure… in 24 hours
	* Make authentic chai…which takes 24 hours
	* Produce your own radio or TV show, broadcasting live reports  of  the 
festival as it happens…
You get the picture. In other words, anything that you and/or a group  of  
people want to try… in 24 hours!

Interested but don’t know how  to start? We can help!

Ways to participate:
	1. Propose a project: fill out this   form right now!  Then meet up with 
everyone at the Family Room of   the IMC at 7 p.m. on Friday to get it off the 
ground.
	2. Get involved in somebody else’s project: show up at the Family  Room  of the 
IMC at 7 p.m. on Friday.  (Cost for participation is $12 per   person = 50¢ per 
hour = cheap!)
	3. Come to the free showing at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
Fill out this form to tell us you’re interested!
 
 Considerations
Timing: The 24-hour period will begin at 7 p.m. on   Friday, November 19, 2010 
and end at 7 p.m. the following day. You don’t have to stay up all night—if 
you’re more of a morning person,   consider doing a 12-hour mini-project 
starting at 7 a.m.—but that’s all the time you’ve got!
	* 7 PM Check-in with everyone in the Family Room (basement)

	* 1 AM Tea party + indoor water sports

	* 7 AM Breakfast + massage zone – welcome the half-dayers

	* 1 PM Lunch + IMC Pitch

	* 7 PM Public Exhibition & Performances (free)
Participation: The event is organized into projects,   each with one or more 
people. Projects can be open to public   participation or not.  Tell  us what 
you need.

Event Cost: $12 per person. That’s 50¢ per hour.   Public showing at 7PM on 
Saturday is free.  Also: becoming a member of  the IMC is strongly encouraged 
but not mandated.

Space: The idea is to maximize the use of  the  entire IMC space over a 24-hour 
period, so think about how much of  what  kind of space you will need for how 
long. Current tenants of the  IMC are  encouraged to participate and/or offer 
their space to projects!

Project Costs: Projects are responsible for covering   their own expenses. A 
suggested fundraising tactic: get  friends  and family to pledge 25¢ for every 
hour you aren’t sleeping.

For the whole scoop, see the IMC wiki  page.
