zAZ Corner Specs and Technical information

ZAZ CORNER is a project at ZAZ10TS: a digital art exhibition being displayed on an LED screen billboard (67X23.5 feet) in Times Square.

Located on the corner of 41st Street and 7th Avenue in New York City, the video billboard will showcase curated artwork on the exterior of the office building at 10 Times Square (1441 Broadway). ZAZ10TS is currently working with organizations, cultural institutions, and universities to collaborate and organize additional video content for this initiative.

For organizations who wish to partner with us, we are now accepting video artwork proposals. Our goal is to liven up the office building that we reside in at 10 Times Square, and with the opening of ZAZ CORNER, we seek to bring a unique artistic element to the hyper urban streets of Times Square.

Submission Guidelines

About the Artwork that can be submitted:

• Content must be original works of moving-image art. In few exceptions, we will accept video composed of/from still images or photography.

• Content must be appropriate for programming in a public space for all audiences and cannot include any nudity, sex, drugs, violence, religious iconography, overtly political messaging, expletives, etc.

• Content cannot be construable as an advertisement for anything and should include no logos or brands.

• The artist (and/or the partner organization) must be the owner of the work and responsible for all licenses.

Artist Commitment:

• The artist (and/or the partner organization) is responsible for creating or adapting one original or archival piece of digital art per the tech/content specs.

If you have any other questions regarding the exhibition or submission, email info@zaz10ts.com and follow @ZAZ10TS to view current programming

Content Considerations:

• Avoid the use of large regions of white or light colors. Deeper richer tones display more effectively than lighter, pastel-oriented tones.

• Avoid large amounts of text. The display is optimized to showcase bold imagery, video and graphics.

• Avoid using thin horizontal or vertical lines.

• Avoid bad tonal contrasts.

• Avoid rapidly-changing, strobing content.

• Avoid letterboxing video.
