To anyone anywhere for instant release:
I'm doing a proposal called "Purgatorio" for eaem3 and need a few
collaborators.
Artists who work online in any format, genre, medium, or language are
welcome. The work is based primarily on the word "Purgatorio," the Walker's
call and theme (Translocation and see call below), and this at

EMERGING ARTISTS/EMERGENT MEDIUM 3: CALL FOR PROPOSALS
http://www.walkerart.org/gallery9/jerome/
Deadline for proposals: July 19, 2002
Gallery9/Walker Art Center (WAC) announces a third round of net art
commissions: "Emerging Artists/Emergent Medium: Translocation" (EAEM3).
With support from The Jerome Foundation, WAC will commission three new
net art projects.
The fee for each commission will be $5,000 plus a budget of up to $4,000
for technical support. A writer will also be commissioned to write a
critical essay in relation to the project, and completed commissioned
works will be presented as part of a global (translocal?), online
exhibition to be presented in February 2003.
The Walker Art Center's Gallery 9 (http://gallery9.walkerart.org) is an
online platform for project-driven exploration, through digitally-based
media, of all things "cyber." Past commissions in the Emerging
Artists/Emergent Medium series have gone to: 0100101110101101.org,
Natalie Bookchin and Alexei Shulgin, Auriea Harvey, Ochen K, Diane
Ludin, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, r a d i o q u a l i a, and Vivian
Selbo.
EMERGING ARTISTS/EMERGENT MEDIUM: TRANSLOCATION
The theme of EAEM3 is the "translocal." There is, potentially, an
important difference between what has been termed McGlobalization and
the translocal. If one version of globalization is the transnational
ubiquity of global brands and the dominance of global capital, can the
translocal be a counter-example, specifying an individual, local
environment yet situating it in a global context? If the topology of the
network is one of connected nodes, every node is global. Is any node
local? No node is the center. Is every node is a center?
These and many other questions are raised by the notion of the
translocal. In the spirit of project-driven exploration, EAEM3
encourages proposals that broadly explore and interpret translocal,
particularly in relation to issues of situatedness, embodiment, and
agency in a connective, global context. Projects must be able to be
experienced compellingly online.

HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL*
Notification to the Walker of a proposal for an Emerging
Artists/Emergent Medium commission is accepted via email only. Email
notification will be accepted until 5:00 pm CST on Friday, July 19,
2002. Proposals must take 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.
+ Project thematic (500 words maximum) that discusses the relation of
your project to the translocal.
+ A production timeline and a project budget. These can be modified on
acceptance, but projects must be doable with available funding. 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 5 work samples. Note: more is not necessarily better. You should
include only work samples that are relevant to your proposal. 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; so try to make your site clear and concise. When your
web-based proposal is ready, complete the submission form above.
