Art on the Net 2000 --- "Parody" __________________________________________________________ "In modern times," Bakhtin notes, "the function of parody has become narrower and unproductive. Parody has grown feeble and its place in modern literature is insignificant". Today we laugh unilaterally, at people and at things. Ridicule of the serious words is everywhere, but much of parody's ancient complexity and strength has been lost. ---Gary Saul Morson & Caryl Emerson: "Mikhail Bakhtin" (Stanford University Press, 1990) __________________________________________________________ "Art on the Net 2000," an online art festival sponsored by the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, Tokyo (MCMOGATK), is currently inviting artists to participate in this year's exhibition held under the theme "Parody." MCMOGATK has been actively pursuing various relationships the Internet can have with art through Art on the Net, the world's first online open art competition, since its first show in 1995. We now see the growing use of the Internet as a space for art and in fact, "net art" has been featured in many cultural festivals around the world. We strongly feel now is the time to redefine the "potentials" of the Internet as a medium of communications." MCMOGATK will keep pursuing this fundamental question through Art on the Net. This year, the exhibition will be held in fall 2000 and all are invited to participate in this project. Please read the application procedures and find application form on our site; http://art.by.arena.ne.jp/ The jurors of the "Art on the Net 2000" are; Shiroyasu Suzuki/Japan Professor at Tama Art University, poet and visual artist. Bernie Roehl/Canada Senior Software Developer at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo. VRML expert. Ingo Gunther/USA Artist working in multi-fields, including video art and installation. Olga Shishko/Russia Critic and curator of media art. Tetsuo Kogawa/Japan *Director for the "Art on the Net" Media critic, Professor of Communications at Tokyo Keizai University. Announcements regarding the exhibition, evaluation and exhibition of works will be done via the Internet as usual. The deadline for entries is 30 August 2000. The winners of prizes are scheduled to be announced in fall 2000. We look forward to seeing your entries! _____________________________________________________________________ -- You Minowa, curator Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, Tokyo http://art.by.arena.ne.jp/ http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/museum/info.html mcmogatk@po.sphere.ne.jp _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
