ABOUT THE DIGITAL POCKET GALLERY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Digital Pocket Gallery: Net Artists respond to their Hard Drives…
April 1st to August 31st 2002
Submissions Deadline: July 31, 2002
Pockets contain miniature biographies and testaments to our lives and
forgotten stories. The crumpled train ticket speaks of journeys taken,
the handful of confetti in your 'best' jacket of a wedding years before
or the telephone number on the back of a matchbook given by a someone
who's name and face is long forgotten. Files and folders are the
'digital pockets' of the internet artist. The hard-drive is an
autobiography in coded form. Dreams, ideas and waste lie hidden in these
cryptically labelled pockets that have become the maps and landscapes of
our
virtual lives.
We invite you to empty your digital pockets for inspection (whether real
or fictitious) for an online exhibition at http:www.ikatun.com
