Accepting proposals for new media artwork in progress or existing works to be shown in a virtual group exhibition presented by the New Media Artspace of Baruch College. Proposals are due April 3, 2026.
Reckless Abandon is an invitation to create within abandonment (relinquished, deserted, forgotten) and with abandon (spontaneous, impassioned, wild). Rediscover what’s been discarded: lost media; WIPs squirreled away on old hard drives; forgotten bookmarks; unsent letters; ghost towns; obsolete technologies; identities shed like old skin. Lose yourself in the freedom of letting go: deliberately broken rules; late-night texts; Wikipedia rabbit holes; punk rock; a one-way ticket to somewhere new; bacchanalian bonfires; frolicking through fields.

Dear Artists,
SoMad invites your submissions for the fourth annual Mad World, an event and exhibition of experimental film, fine art, and performance exploring ecological crises through an intersectional environmentalist lens, opening on April 18, 2026.
This year’s theme understands environmental collapse not as a distant abstract condition, but as something shaped by systems of power: colonialism, borders, racial capitalism, and extractive industry. We are interested to see your work that considers how land, bodies, and movement are governed, and how other ways of knowing and caring could reconfigure our relationship to the earth and to one another.
