- call for artists http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com Projected Start of
Exhibition: 23 July 2002 How the project will develop/ guidelines for
submission

Artists are invited to submit proposals for inclusion in the cyber-kitchen
at http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com by emailing:
jessloseby@the-cyber-kitchen.com

Kitchens are traditionally both the hub of the family home and the icons
of domesticity. They are filled with a strange mix of technology in the
shape of labour-saving devices mixed with the mundanity of the
chipped cup or empty carton. There is a secret rhythm and motion
within these objects and surfaces: the endless cycle of consumption
and elimination, the formation bacteria and the ritual cleansing of the
space.

In the kitchen image (see http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com), a few
objects have been converted to buttons and these will lead the visitor
into the individual artworks. More buttons will be added as artists pick
the areas or objects they wish to interpret. Over time the kitchen itself
will change, as people 'enter' the space and objects are moved and
rearranged. Artists are invited to pick any object or area of the kitchen
for interpretation/representation. This might achieved literally (such as
in the digital interpretation of an object e.g., a teacup) or as a play on
the idea or meaning of an object (e.g. a teacup might result in a work
based on 'a storm in a teacup') There are also four doorways, a French
window and a corridor leading off the cyber-kitchen…where do they go?

There are no limitations to shape, format or creative interpretation of
the objects in the cyber-kitchen except for a few practical constraints:

1) Please submit proposals and/or works in progress rather than
completed works…this is make sure that the cyber-kitchen is full of a
number of 'objects' and not 20 fridges!

2) PC based artworks only (including zipped submissions, no .sit files)
please.

3. Artwork can be static jpeg, gif, flash movies, html, java low-res video
etc. providing it can be displayed/transmitted on the net. Larger works
(e.g. video may need to be hosted on the artists own site and integrated
through links)

4) One 'object' only per artist

5)Artworks will be 'displayed' on a black background unless otherwise
specified

Notes

As it is hoped this will become a collaborative project, artists are
invited to 'own' the project by inviting further artists to participate and
promoting the work. Also offers of help curating the project and advice on its
progression are welcomed.

Single images or detailed digital photographs of objects that can be
seen in the kitchen can be requested for artists to manipulate within
their work. Please email me here stating whether you require jpeg or gif
files and colour or greyscale.

Please see: http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com for more details. Cheers,
jess loseby.
