Lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.

In order to apply, the University of Georgia student must have a 3.4 grade point average, along
with thirty UGA hours, and must also be willing to commit to the following:
1. Enroll in any two sequential Honors undergraduate research courses totaling six hours of
academic credit during the summer semester: HONS 4960H, HONS 4970H, HONS 4980H, and
HONS 4990H. The expectation is that approximately 320 hours of research will be invested in
research during the summer session, arranged by the supervising faculty mentor and the student.

of an intensive, immerse research experience. A stipend of $2500 is awarded to each Summer
Fellow at the beginning of the summer term.

9. PROFESSIONAL SURFER
Rhizome.org online exhibition featuring recent UGA graduate John Michael Boling
Professional Surfer is a group exhibition that considers web browsing (aka 'surfing') an art form. It
brings together individual and collectively run websites whose work presents found digital
material next to remixed graphics, video, performance and commentary.
Framed as individual artworks, the websites employ appropriation in ways that are reminiscent of
pop, video or conceptual art, yet set apart by a deep immersion in their surrounding digital
environment. Presented in blog posts, or across a series of web pages, their projects transform
the anarchic territory of the Internet into an intentionally incoherent aesthetic that combines the
profound with kitsch. This aesthetic could only be borne out of a territory in which commerce and
creativity, amateurs and professionals, as well as divergent cultures and styles are in constant flux
and uncomfortable proximity.
Significantly, some of the featured artists grew up with the web, and aspects of their work chart
the digital half-life of pop cultural images or icons from their youth. Others took up the Internet
later on, after working with painting or other mediums. In this way, professional surfing is not
restricted to a certain generation but shared by all those who engage the overwhelming
atmosphere of the web by embroiling themselves deeper in it. Together, their projects follow the
evolution of the web, powerfully blending humor, criticism and a sense of the sublime.
