Artist Statement: Don't you just love it when accidents come together?

ABOUT THE DIGITAL POCKET GALLERY

How to Submit: http://www.ikatun.com/digitalpocketgallery/submit.htm

The digital pocket gallery effort began in March 2002.

The digital pocket gallery was inspired by the real-life Pocket Gallery at =
536 gallery in Vancouver, Canada.

Pockets contain miniature biographies and testaments to our lives and forgo=
tten stories. The crumpled train ticket speaks of journeys taken, the handf=
ul of confetti in your 'best' jacket of a wedding years before or the telep=
hone number on the back of a matchbook given by a someone who's name and fa=
ce is long forgotten. Files and folders are the 'digital pockets' of the in=
ternet artist. The hard-drive is an autobiography in coded form. Dreams, id=
eas and waste lie hidden in these cryptically labelled pockets that have be=
come the maps and landscapes of our
virtual lives.

All entries that meet the submission guidelines will be included in the exh=
ibit. Each month the curators will select a number of works to feature in t=
he gallery that, in their opinion, are particularly strong and/or original =
interpretations of the concept.
