Call: Rhizome.org is awarding commissions to new media artists

In 2009, Rhizome will award seven commissions with fees ranging from $3000-$5000.

This year, Rhizome has expanded our scope, formerly focused strictly on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art.

This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies to works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices.

This year, all applicants will be reviewed by a selected jury and several awards will be granted through Rhizome's membership in an open, community vote.

Proposal submission takes place online. The deadline is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008.
