+Statement+

Advances in digital technology are calling into question a panoply of
issues, some of which include the ways such technology alters the role
of the arts in culture in methods of production and propagation of ideas
throughout culture, and the way institutions represent the digital arts.
Through the Looking Glass is an exhibition that will survey digital art
forms (video, net, print, installation, etc.) to examine critical issues
in digital art, and to explore the ways in which these aesthetic
practices engage with the audience.

We are especially interested in works from artists located in the
Pacific Rim, Asia, South/Latin America, India, Eastern Europe, the CIS,
and Africa.

+Call for net.entries+

We are looking for Net-based and CD-ROM works which offer unique
perspectives on the use of the digital medium as art form, as well as
works that examine critical issues relating to technology's effects on
society, identity, and perception.

Currently, our physical gallery space is almost full, but physical
artists are welcome to apply.

+Call for Essays/Texts+

Also planned for this exhibition is a section dedicated to critical
texts examining the effects of technology on artistic practice, the
gallery/museum, and the role of the audience. These criteria
intentionally offer a wide range of subjects, and all submission are
welcome. The purpose of the entire exhibition is to present a diverse
array of viewpoints in contemporary technological art practice,
therefore we welcome all submissions that fit within our criteria.
