the beat’s on repeat…

an open call for entries to ok parking’s upcoming magazine:

Sometimes it seems we’re running around in circles. Sometimes things are better second time around. Repetition can be agonizing and hypnotic. In fashion, music, art and economy there seem to be recurring trends. Evolution is based on tiny variations in infinitely repeated loops. Robots replace people because of their fast repeating movements. Patterns from nature inspire designers. In which way is repetition influencing you?

Next to a selection of top visual and theoretical creatives we invite YOU to contribute to the magazine. Send us your visuals, short stories, compositions or even videos and interactive projects. The most interesting submissions will be published in O.K. Repeat.

Deadline: Wednesday June 17, 2009
Theme: Repeat
