Rhizome 2007 Commissions: Open Now!
Rhizome is pleased to announce that in 2007 we will commission eleven
new works of Internet-based art with awards ranging from $1000-3000.
The deadline for proposal submission is April 2! This year, we are
funding in two categories: (1) New Works of Internet-based Art and (2)
A Community Project. In the first category, the works may manifest
offline, in an exhibition space, on a handheld device, or on other
media, but must use the Internet as a primary source. The second
commissions category is new this year and will be awarded to one artist
or group whose project will benefit our community by enhancing
communication, participation, or the user experience on the Rhizome
website. The commissions are awarded both by jury and by Rhizome
Members through a community voting process. In addition to receiving an
award, the commissioned art works will be exhibited on Rhizome.org,
installed at the New Museum of Contemporary Art for a celebratory
event, and archived in our ArtBase! archive of digital art. We
encourage you to get involved and spread the word! - Rhizome.org
