With support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for<br />the Visual Arts and The Jerome Foundation, Rhizome.org will commission<br />three new net art projects (works of art that are made to be experienced<br />online).<br /><br />The fee for each commission will be $5,000.<br /><br />Rhizome.org is an online platform for the global new media art<br />community. We are committed to supporting the creation, presentation,<br />discussion and preservation of art that engages new technologies in<br />significant ways. We emphasize innovation and inclusiveness in all of<br />our programs and activities.<br /><br />Artists are invited to submit proposals in one of two tracks:<br />alt.interface or Tactical Response.<br /><br />Track 1: alt.interface<br /><br />alt.interface is an ongoing series of interface artworks that overlay<br />Rhizome.org's online databases of text and art. These interfaces provide<br />alternative ways to navigate and/or access the database and its content.<br />Three alt.interface projects have been completed to date: StarryNight,<br />Spiral and Every Image. For more information about these alt.interface<br />projects, and to access them, please go to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rhizome.org/interface">http://rhizome.org/interface</a>.<br /><br />For this track of the commissioning program, artists are asked to<br />propose new alt.interface projects that would function to visualize and<br />allow access to the data in the Rhizome TextBase and/or ArtBase. These<br />alt.interface projects will be listed and linked-to on the main<br />alt.interface page and will be included in the Rhizome ArtBase.<br /><br />Before submitting alt.interface proposals, artists are encouraged to<br />consult our &quot;Notes on Indexing&quot; page at<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://rhizome.org/artbase/2.php3">http://rhizome.org/artbase/2.php3</a> which offers a good description of the<br />Rhizome databasing and indexing process. All of Rhizome's indexing<br />information for both text and art objects is contained in an SQL<br />database. You should plan your interface accordingly. Here is a<br />description of how our database is set up. If you have further technical<br />questions please contact Alex Galloway at alex@rhizome.org.<br /><br />Although we will provide some assistance with final integration into the<br />Rhizome.org web site, artists are expected to develop alt.interface<br />projects independently and without significant technical assistance from<br />Rhizome.org.<br /><br />Track 2: Tactical Response<br /><br />Net art and tactical media have shared similar histories and<br />aspirations. For the Tactical Response track we solicit projects that<br />address the present political situation around the globe, particularly<br />events relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11. We encourage<br />artists to address the tactical dimension of specific aesthetic or<br />technological concerns. Tactical Response projects will be listed on the<br />main Rhizome Commission page and included in the Rhizome ArtBase.<br /><br />Although we will provide some assistance with final integration into the<br />Rhizome.org web site, artists are expected to develop Tactical Response<br />projects independently and without significant technical assistance from<br />Rhizome.org.<br /><br />+ How to Submit a Proposal +<br /><br />Proposals for a Rhizome.org Net Art Commission are accepted via an<br />online form at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rhizome.org/commissions">http://rhizome.org/commissions</a>.

This spring New York will host a different kind of art<br />biennial, The Free Biennial.<br /><br />The Free Biennial is an exhibition of free art in public spaces, open to<br />any artist who wishes to participate. It will be held in New York during<br />the month of April, 2002 (April 2 - April 30, 2002).<br /><br />Functioning both as an exhibition, and as a situational artwork, The<br />Free Biennial is a project of artist Sal Randolph who says: &quot;It's an<br />experiment in presenting a show which is completely democratic and<br />unedited. There's always an element of the unpredictable when you open<br />the doors.&quot;<br /><br />In an increasingly crowded field of international art expositions, the<br />Free Biennial offers a new artistic situation, both for the viewer and<br />the participating artist. For the artist, the Free Biennial eliminates<br />the selection process - the curator as gatekeeper or filter. It puts the<br />question of participation in the hands of the artist, and throws open<br />the question of value.<br /><br />For the viewer, the safety of traditional curatorship and spectacle is<br />removed, allowing an experience which is more direct, raw, and intimate.<br />The city is transformed into a place of potential where any encounter<br />could be an artistic one. Armed with a map and the idea that art might<br />be anywhere, the viewer is invited to step into the shoes of what<br />Baudelaire and the Situationists called the fl&#xE2;neur, the wanderer, ready<br />to experience anything.<br /><br />&quot;It's a new way of looking at public space,&quot; says organizer Sal<br />Randolph. &quot;We've gotten used to seeing public space as either<br />institutional or commercial. Here is a way for artists and viewers to<br />operate together as as citizens, engaged with the life of the city. It<br />holds out possibility for the values of generosity and civility, which<br />we are so in need of at this time.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;There's plenty of free artwork out there,&quot; Randolph adds, &quot;but there's<br />very little context in which to show it. It's one of the hidden art<br />movements of our time. This show aims to provide a context which will<br />make the underground gift economy of art more visible.&quot;<br /><br />Randolph's other recent projects have included &quot;Free Words&quot; in which<br />2,000 copies of a free book are being infiltrated into bookstores and<br />libraries worldwide (for more information: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freewords.org">http://www.freewords.org</a>).<br /><br />THE FREE BIENNIAL<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freebiennial.org">http://www.freebiennial.org</a><br /><br />A CALL TO ARTISTS<br /><br />The Free Biennial is an open exhibition of nonmonetary artworks to be<br />held in greater New York during the month of April, 2002.<br /><br />Any artist who wishes may participate with such works as ephemeral<br />installations, guerilla performances, d&#xE9;rives, situations, giveaways,<br />ambulatory declamations, parties, neo-happenings, apartment shows,<br />guided experiences, screenings, projections, mail art, downloadable<br />music, web-based work.<br /><br />During the exhibition, maps and schedules will be available on the<br />website to help viewers locate and experience the participating works.<br />Tours and events will be organized to support the show.<br /><br />ENTRY REQUIREMENTS<br /><br />Artists of all kinds are invited to participate in THE FREE BIENNIAL<br />which will take place in New York during the month of April, 2002.<br /><br />Any project which is nonmonetary in nature, and which takes place in<br />public or quasi-public space in the greater New York area any time<br />during the month of April 2002 is eligible.<br /><br />Works which are not eligible include those where an admission is charged<br />or where anything is for sale, as well as works not taking place within<br />the time and space designated for the show (greater New York City area,<br />month of April 2002).<br /><br />Web-based projects are welcome, and will be represented by a description<br />and a URL link. Mail art projects are also welcome, and will be<br />represented by a description and a mailing address (the address may be<br />anywhere in the world as long as participants in New York are invited).<br /><br />Projects taking place in ordinarily private space (for instance<br />apartment shows) are eligible if they are open to the public by<br />appointment or during publicized hours.<br /><br />Group projects and projects organized by collectives and independent<br />curators are encouraged.<br /><br />There is no deadline for participation, but if you wish your information<br />to be included in publicity materials it must be received by MARCH 1,<br />2002.

Using<br />a vast array of old and new technology the light surgeons roots in club<br />culture become manifest as they mix live digital video, film,<br />photography and audio tracks, projecting them into one seamless and<br />dazzling progression of sounds and images that take you or a feature<br />length trajectory through sound, music, narrative and light.<br /><br />The initial performance was developed out of a recorded interview with a<br />street philosopher, Rober Alan Weiser, who the Light Surgeons came<br />across in Venice Beach LA. His rambling stories and anecdotes became the<br />initial narrative anchor in this documentary journey and focused the<br />performance around an exploration of the social and political state of<br />America.<br /><br />Spoken word is interwoven with soundtracks and dj sets, as film clips<br />and slides are displayed and manipulated live, providing visual<br />illustrations and counterpoints to the collage images. This means each<br />performance produces different re mixes and cuts' of the film, sometimes<br />radically different as various visual and musical improvised elements<br />are inserted.<br /><br />+ LOCATION<br /><br />Off-corso, Kruiskade 22, Rotterdam<br /><br />+ TIME<br /><br />Doors open Main hall: 20.00pm<br />Start performance: 20.30pm<br />End performance: 22.30pm<br /><br />+ ENTRANCE<br /><br />1 Euro<br /><br />+ + +<br /><br />The doors will be closed during the performance, it is possible to join<br />the show between the 15 min break at 21.20pm.<br /><br />More info at:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thelightsurgeons.co.uk">http://www.thelightsurgeons.co.uk</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.off-corso.nl/sideshow/index.htm">http://www.off-corso.nl/sideshow/index.htm</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.adapter.nl">http://www.adapter.nl</a><br /><br />+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<br /><br />Rhizome.org is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization.
