CALL FOR ENTRIES: CONTACT ZONES: THE ART OF CD-ROM

An exhibit of CD-Rom based art projects curated by Timothy Murray to
take place in rotation at multiple sites at Cornell University: The
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell Library, and Cornell
Information Technology, from early March to early April, 1999 (exact
dates TBA). The curator seeks art on CD-Rom that investigates various
zones of contact: between thoughts, memories, and cultures, between
bodies, between genders, sexes, and sexualities, between art and
literary genres, between commodities and sites of exchange, etc. The aim
of the exhibit is to foreground the possibilities of CD-Rom and digital
technologies for exploring the realities and representations of contact
in its multiple forms.

The exhibit will be held in conjunction with a "Workshop on Artistic
Discourses of Digitality" to be take place at Cornell University's
Society for the Humanities on March 12-13, 1999. Held in dialogue with
the Society's seminar on the focal theme, "The Virtual: Old and New,"
the workshop will provide an informal, intellectual environment for the
presentation and theoretical consideration of recent work in digital
art.

The curator is reviewing submissions for consideration through February
14. NO ENTRY FEE.

Please submit work with SASE, an artist's biography, a brief conceptual
description of the work, and a brief description of technical
requirements to:
