The first web art project commissioned by Tate is online. Uncomfortable
Proximity by Harwood@Mongrel takes the format of an alternative version
of the Tate website. The second commission, Le Match des couleurs, is a
sound and image work by Simon Patterson which will go online on 12 July.
Both can be visited at http://www.tate.org.uk and will be online until
30 June 2001.

Uncomfortable Proximity has the appearance of the Tate website in design
and layout and has parallel subsections. However, new images have been
inserted and texts have been altered to offer an alternative, often
witty or challenging, history of Tate and the Tate Collection. In this
work the artist collages together his personal responses to the
Collection and reflections on the history of the Tate Britain site. The
work is launched in a separate window which sits behind the Tate
website, emphasising its parallel position.

Le Match des couleurs features a recording of Radio France 1's football
commentator Eug
