::net_art_review guidelines for Daily Reviewers::
Net Art Review focuses on net-art and its crossover to other new media
fields. The purpose of the site is to provide a space for sharing links to net-art works that contributing reviewers find interesting; these include actual net-art projects, exhibition opportunities, as well as resources. The daily weblog is not meant for straight promotional postings.
HOW THE REVIEWING POSTINGS FUNCTION:
Daily Reviewers post to the weblog whenever they like. There is no editing from our copy editor at this point – this means that reviewers are responsible for grammar and syntax errors. Every Wednesday, 3 to 5 reviews are selected and then edited by the copy editor. The writing is then posted on the next Saturday as weekly features. The weekly features as well as the daily logs are eventually archived for later access.
WHAT YOU CAN POST:
A link to a net art project. This means the actual art work. Although the website of the artist who created the net piece can be linked as credit to the work, the emphasis should be on the piece not the artist. (Look over the web log for examples.)
A short description or summary about the site, and, most importantly, why you find it interesting. The latter is most important since visitors are always interested in opinions. Your paragraph can vary in length, but should be no more than fifteen lines of text. (See weblog for details). Your opinion does not have to be "deep" – just honest. If you really like the recommended website, think why you like it, and write it down. It is best to be brief.
If the above sounds too complicated, then simply write an introductory
sentence and post the link. The important thing is to share material that you find important.
Contributing writers's contact info will be posted on the site as a thank you gesture for writing daily recommendations (publishing contact info is optional).
WHAT YOU CAN NOT POST:
A purely self-promotional posting. There are plenty of other sites that
already provide this type of opportunity such as Rhizome, Nettime,
Thing.net, very busy among others. Using Net Art Review's weblog for
self-promotion will lead to removal from the Contributing Reviewers list.
You can not post disrespectful comments. This does not mean that you can not be critical; it just means that if you do not like some aspects of a site, state your reasons in an objective critical manner.
You can not post statements that do not deal with a net-piece. Net Art
Review was developed to provide links to net art. Trivial ramblings and
comments that are completely unrelated to net-art pieces will lead to
removal from the Contributing Reviewers list.
Send all submissions to: info@netartreview.net.
