4. RHIZOME.ORG NET ART COMMISSIONS
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
+Deadline for proposals: February 15, 2004+
Rhizome.org is pleased to announce that with support from The Jerome
Foundation and the Greenwall Foundation, five new net art projects
(works of art that are made to be experienced online) will be
commissioned in 2004.
The fee for each commission will range from $1,500 - $3,500.
Rhizome.org is an online platform for the global new media art
community. We are committed to supporting the creation, presentation,
discussion and preservation of art that engages new technologies in
significant ways. We emphasize innovation and inclusiveness in all of
our programs and activities.
Artists are invited to submit proposals for works of art that focus on
the theme of games.
+Games+
For the last several decades, computer-based games, through their
ubiquity, economic influence, and innovative use of new technologies,
have become a significant cultural force, surpassing Hollywood films in
total revenues.
For a number of years, new media artists have been exploring the
possibilities of gaming platforms and creating art games that mix the
best qualities of commercial games - accessibility, interactivity,
user-engagement - with critical and progressive approaches to narrative
and aesthetics.
Artists seeking a Rhizome.org 2004 commission should propose projects
that will contribute to the art game genre, or reflect in some way on
the following broad interpretations of "game" found at Dictionary.com,
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=game.
Viewers/players should be able to access the projects online, whether by
playing them through a web browser, downloading software, or some other
use of internet technologies.
When evaluating proposals, the jury will consider artistic merit,
technical feasibility, and technical accessibility.
Although we will provide some technical assistance with final
integration into the Rhizome.org web site, artists are expected to
develop game-related projects independently and without significant
technical assistance from Rhizome.org. Commissioned projects will be
listed on the main Rhizome Commission page and included in the Rhizome
ArtBase.
+ How to Submit a Proposal +
The jury will only consider proposals from members of Rhizome.org. To
sign up for Rhizome membership, please visit:
http://www.rhizome.org/preferences/user.rhiz?action=1&new=user
There are two parts to proposal submission:
1. You must create a proposal in the form of a web site that includes
the following key elements:
+ Project description (500 words maximum) that discusses your project's
core concept, how you will realize your project and your project's
feasibility. If you plan to work with assistants, consultants or
collaborators, their roles and (if possible) names should be included.
+ You are encouraged, but not required, to include a production timeline
and a project budget, which should include your own fee. If you have
other funding sources for your project, please indicate this in your
budget.
+ Your resume or Curriculum Vitae. For collaborative groups, provide
either a collective CV or the CV?s of all participants.
+ Up to 10 work samples. Note: More is not necessarily better. You
should include only work samples that are relevant to your proposal. If
your proposal has nothing to do with photography, don?t include images
from your photography portfolio. Please provide contextualizing
information (title, date, medium, perhaps a brief description) to help
the jury understand what they are looking at. The work sample can take
any form, as long as it is accessible via the web.
When designing your web-based proposal, please note that the jury will
have limited time for evaluations, so try to make your site clear and
concise.
When your web-based proposal is complete, you are ready for Part Two of
the proposal process:
2. Submit your proposal for a Rhizome.org Net Art Commission via an
online form at http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit_2004.rhiz. We do
not accept proposals via email, snail mail or other means. Proposals
will be accepted until 5:00pm EST (that?s New York time) on Friday,
February 15, 2004. The form at
http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit_2004.rhiz requires the following
information:
+ Name of artist or collaborative group + Email address + Place of
residence (city, state/province, country) + Title of the project (this
can be tentative) + Brief description of project (50 words maximum) +
URL of web-based proposal
+ Jury +
Proposals will be reviewed by a jury consisting of German critic Tilman
Baumgartel, artist Natalie Bookchin of CalArts, Rachel Greene of
Rhizome.org, Francis Hwang of Rhizome.org, and Japanese curator Yukiko
Shikata. Rhizome.org members will also participate in the evaluation and
awarding process through secure web-based forms.
Winners will be contacted on or after March 15, 2004. Each winner will
be asked to sign an agreement with Rhizome.org governing the terms of
the commission.
+ Winners +
Winners will be announced on March 29, 2004. Commissioned projects must
be completed by October 1, 2004.
+ Questions +
If you have any questions about the Rhizome.org Net Art Commissions,
please contact Feisal Ahmad at [log in to unmask] or 212.219.1288.

5. Ultrasound Call for Entries
Deadline: December 15th, 2003
http://www.thething.it/ultrasound
- Ultrasound is a graphic/musical collaborative project. An online and off
line compilation of high tech visceral narratives, acoustic images and intimate
connections. Selected contributions will be downloadable and eventually
published in a CD, with an accompanying booklet.
-The use of ultrasound in the biopower control circuits changed the
perception of pregnancy and foetus. During the First World War, high frequency
sound waves, not audible to the human ear, were deployed extensively in
underwater surveillance. In the following years research was developed on radar
systems. Such radar systems were the direct precursors of medical ultrasonic
systems. The increase in the research and application of ultrasound in
obstetrics and gynaecology appeared to boom from 1966 onwards.
-The use of these visualization technologies on female bodies has dissolved
the borders of the epidermis and turned the maternal biospace in a spectacle to
screen on ultrasound machines. In the spring of ?65 Life Magazine published a
sixteen page photographic reportage called "Drama of Life Before Birth?, by
the swedish biomedical photographer Lennart Nilsson. It showed ?an
unprecedented set of colour photographs of human embryos in their natural
state?. Such images also marked the birth of the techno-foetus, when it started
to become a fetish, the icon of life, personhood, nature, origin, identity. It
has become the favourite weapon in the hands of over-excited anti-abortion
groups.
-In many medical, media and social discussions, the empowerment of the embryo
coincides with the erasure of the mother?s subjectivity. Her body is turned
into a public uterus, a comfortable habitat for the embryo, the growing
environment and ecosystem for the foetus, the dark background of the scan.
-Ultrasound aim is to explore these narratives of detachement through images
and sounds, to produce jamming interferences against the fetish of the foetus
and its worshippers. Ultrasound invites you to glide in maternal depth and to
look at it in a different way.
-Ultrasound is a CD project open to human and non human synthetizers, (de)
gender music makers, and contributions from any species or space.
-To send your sounds and vocals contact: [log in to unmask]
Ultrasound is a project sponsored by http://www.thething.it
