Rhizome's 2009 Commissions

We're pleased to announce that Rhizome's 2009 Commissions cycle is now open. This year we will commission seven new art works with awards ranging from $3000-$5000. The deadline for proposals is midnight on Monday, March 31, 2008.

This year, Rhizome has expanded our scope, formerly focused strictly on Internet-based art to encompass the broad range of practices that fall under new media art. This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies, as well as works that reflect on the impact of these tools and media in a variety of forms. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices.

We encourage you to get involved and spread the word!
