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

Call: Soil Digital Media Suite seeking Web Cinema production applicants

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Web Cinema

The Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative and Soil Digital Media Suite
are currently accepting applications for Web Cinema. Web Cinema is a
co-production that seeks to explore the connection between the Web
and film as artistic mediums.

Submissions will be assessed on the artistic merit of the project,
the capacity of the independent filmmaker / artist to complete the
project and the conceptual relevance of the work proposed. All
projects must be created with the Web as a screening venue in mind.
Works should be between 4 and 15 minutes in length.

Proposals must be for new work not previously presented to an
audience and will be selected by a jury comprised of representatives
from the Saskatchewan Filmpool Co-operative and Soil. Production
resources will be available from both the Filmpool and Soil. Projects
must be ready to launch in October 2007 and be archived on the Soil
Web gallery site at http://www.soilmedia.org. Artists retain all
copyrights to their projects which can be linked or stored on Soil's
server. Funding is to be applied to costs for domain names, technical
specialists, membership fees.

Five $1,000.00 production honorariums will be awarded to five
successful applicants who must be independent artists / filmmakers
and who will retain all copyrights to their projects.

Please submit a brief (one-page) synopsis and / or treatment of your
project, a C.V. and 1 example of past work by March 30, 5:00 pm to
