NET.ART EXHIBITION
Montreal, September 2003

will address the notion of time as experienced in art and through technology. Most technological equipment (VCRs, CD-ROMs, Cassette players, DV and Hi-8 cameras) are equipped with a "pause" button – offering a momentary stop in the flow of information. The Web, in contrast, is a mediator for all digital media (sound, video, hypertext and images) which has historically been compared to a highway (Baudrillard) and exists through the constant ebb of information. will aim at intercepting this stream of information in order to provide a disruption within this endless expanse of data - by providing the viewer with a vantage point, a moment of reflection and a slowing down in his/her interactive viewing habits.
The exhibition will focus on web productions centered around AUDIO/SOUND or VIDEO and will be divided into these 2 categories.
+ Net.artists are invited to submit proposals for an on-line exhibition entitled to be presented by MobileGaze on its website.
+ Projects considered for this curatorial investigation should be created specifically for the web and should focus on audio/sound or video.
+ Only new projects will be considered (2003).
+ Artist fees will be paid.
+ The exhibition will be launched with a conference / event at the Sociéte des Arts Technologiques in Montreal in September 2003 and will remain online for a minimum of one year.
+ SUBMISSIONS +
All submissions must include:
+ Name, home address, telephone, email.
+ A short bio (200 words max).
+ URL of previous web project(s).
+ A short description of the Web project proposed (200 words max).
+ List of required plug-ins.
+ Applications should be sent to in the body of the email.
+ For more information contact: Valerie Lamontagne
+ Or consult: http://www.mobilegaze.com/
+ DEADLINE +
+ MAY 1, 2003
+ Artists will be notified in June of the selection.
+ MobileGaze is an on-line artist collective dedicated to promoting, presenting and discussing digital media works. Founded in August 1999 in Montréal, MobileGaze showcases: digital and net.art; interviews with artists and cultural producers; critical writing about the Web; and live Webcast events with artists and art critics.
