> RHIZOME.ORG NET ART COMMISSIONS
>
> CALL FOR PROPOSALS
>
> + Deadline for proposals: March 23, 2005 +
> Rhizome.org is pleased to announce that with support from
> Greenwall Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, the Andy Warhol
> Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the National Endowment
> for the Arts, between eight and ten new net art projects
> (works of art that are made to be experienced online) will
> be commissioned in 2005.
>
> The fee for each commission will range from $US1,500 -
> $US3,500.
>
> Rhizome.org is an online platform for the global new media
> art community. We are committed to supporting the creation,
> presentation, discussion and preservation of art that
> engages new technologies in significant ways. We emphasize
> innovation and inclusiveness in all of our programs and
> activities.
>
> Artists are invited to submit proposals for new works of
> internet art. There is no required theme, but these works
> must be made to be experienced online, thus
> viewers/participants/players should be able to access the
> projects online, whether through a web browser, software, or
> some other use of internet technologies.
>
> When evaluating proposals, the jury will consider artistic
> merit, technical feasibility, and technical accessibility.
> Although we will provide some technical assistance with
> final integration into the Rhizome.org web site, artists are
> expected to develop projects independently and without
> significant technical assistance from Rhizome.org.
>
> + How to Submit a Proposal +
> The jury will only consider proposals from members of
> Rhizome.org. To sign up for Rhizome membership, please
> visit:
> http://www.rhizome.org/preferences/user.rhiz?action=1&new=user
>
> There are two parts to proposal submission:
>
> 1. You must create a proposal in the form of a web site that
> includes the following key elements:
>
> + Project description (500 words maximum) that discusses
> your project's core concept, how you will realize your
> project and your project's feasibility. If you plan to work
> with assistants, consultants or collaborators, their roles
> and (if possible) names should be included.
>
> + You are encouraged, but not required, to include a
> production timeline and a project budget, which should
> include your own fee. If you have other funding sources for
> your project, please indicate this in your budget.
>
> + Your resume or Curriculum Vitae. For collaborative groups,
> provide either a collective CV or the CV's of all
> participants.
>
> + Up to 5 work samples. Note: More is not necessarily
> better. You should include only work samples relevant to
> your proposal. If your proposal has nothing to do with
> photography, don't include images from your photography
> portfolio. Please provide contextualizing
> information (title, date, medium, perhaps a brief
> description) to help the jury understand what they are
> looking at. The work sample can take any form, as long as it
> is accessible via the web.
>
> When designing your web-based proposal, please note that the
> jury will have limited time for evaluations, so try to make
> your site clear and concise.
>
> When your web-based proposal is complete, you are ready for
> Part Two of the proposal process:
>
> 2. Submit your proposal for a Rhizome.org Net Art Commission
> via an online form at
> http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit/.
>
> We do not accept proposals via email, snail mail or other
> means. Proposals will be accepted until 5:00pm EST (that's
> New York time) on Friday, March 15, 2005. The form at
> http://rhizome.org/commissions/submit/ requires the
> following information:
>
> + Name of artist or collaborative group
> + Email address
> + Place of residence (city, state/province, country)
> + Title of the project (this can be tentative)
> + Brief description of project (50 words maximum)
> + URL of web-based proposal
>
>
> + Jury +
> Proposals will be reviewed by a jury consisting of Rachel
> Greene, Executive Director of Rhizome.org and author of
> Internet Art (Thames and Hudson, 2004); Francis Hwang,
> Director of Technology at Rhizome.org; artist Eduardo Kac,
> Professor and Chair, Art and Technology Department at the
> School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Sydney-based artist,
> writer and curator Melinda Rackham, also of the -empyre-
> forum; and the head of Tate Digital Programmes, and Net Art
> curator at Tate Online, Jemima Rellie.
>
> Rhizome.org members will also participate in the evaluation
> and awarding process through secure web-based forms. In this
> phase of evaluation, Rhizome.org members will be directed to
> the submitted web-based proposals. While this more open
> jurying process does mean that proposals could possibly be
> discussed publicly, there have been no reported conflicts or
> abuses of information reported.
>
> + Winners +
> Winners will be contacted on or after May 1, 2005. Each
> winner will be asked to sign an agreement with Rhizome.org
> governing the terms of the commission. Commissioned projects

> included in the Rhizome ArtBase.
>
> Winners will be announced on or before May 1, 2005.
> Commissioned projects must be completed by December 1, 2005.
