Here new wandering news from the GATES project.
For first thank-you to everybody who participated, wrote to us, who realized
events, tried to remain in the spirit of the project.
Thank-you also to everybody who sent to us a project for a performance, a
fest,
an installation; not everybody could realize it during Summer, but we
received really interesting ideas, so we decided continue GATE until
December to give everybody the possibility to finish the project.
But it is very urgent you to send a documentation (video VHS PAL, IBM CD
ROM, jpg files) of your GATES events in your country. We are planning the
presentation in Rome in Autumn.

Who had not time to work during Summer, has time until December.
Scroll down for the Call for Entries of the GATES Planetary Project - Part 2

-------------------------------------------------------

GATES - CALL FOR ENTRIES PART 2
Gates is a total new collaborative art experiment, it is a non-conventional
exhibition; one can participate not by sending video or digital work on the
topic, but creating a circulation of action-communication, between
real and cyberspace, between visual and word, related to the symbolic icon
of the Gate, with its metaphoric, symbolic, of computer science, and
telematic, implications, gates as ways of transit, as dimension of open, of
passages in every direction, at every level.

We are creating a new form of art that uses as matter e-communication,
relationship among persons, art debate, our real/virtual body, voice,
gesture (Karenina.it is all this); experimentals! artists, poets, critics,
theoreticians! e-post-Fluxus casseurs, e-post-post-duchamp-ists (?),
welcome!, Karenina.it is an open gate for what you think, and for what you
do.
Gates is dedicated to Pierre Restany
