BINARY KATWALK

Binarykatwalk.net

Binarykatwalk announces the launch of its first edition. Binary Katwalk is an on-line New Media exhibition focusing on work that is experimental and would benefit from this non-traditional exhibition space. The goal of the site is to unify works over time into one expanding and unified exhibition as opposed to specific exhibitions that open and then close or go to a secondary archive. It is co-curated by Jeremy Hight and Sindee Nakatani.

Come to Binary Katwalk to see the work of 5 strong artists from very different points in the spectrum of New Media.

We are proud to present the work of :
AGRICLOA DE COLOGNE
OLIVER DYENS
CATHY DAVIES
LISA TAO
BJORN WANGEN

New project at no-org.net http://no-org.net call for submissions

Blog?
http://no-org.net/blogs Blog, one of the most spread forms of expression on the web, varying from personal diaries to community weblogs, professional knowledge exchange resources, political campaigns and more. In their different manifestations, blogs (moblogs, videoblogs, photoblogs, etc.), became a phenomenon influencing in many cases upon social and cultural areas: journalism, politics, alternative knowledge sources, literature, art, etc.

The blog? project takes blog as art and as a stage for net artworks investigating the language, the aesthetics, the impacts and the practices of blogs, blogging and the blogosphere.

In this context, it's worth mentioning the blog.art project --one of the first projects dealing with the notion of blog as art-operating for about a year and publishing blog-defined art projects.

Blog? project acts (is envisioned to act) as a platform for an open discussion on the topic and as a pool for submitting works. No-org.net http://No-org.net invites submissions of art projects making use of blog as a tool, subject, or both as well as texts investigating the blog-art interplay in a broad sense.

Selected texts and artworks will be exhibited (separately) on the no-org.net website. The launch of the project will be accompanied by an opening event and the discussion, that will get documented on the no-org.net http://no-org.net website.
