## Rhizome.org Launches Revamped Web Site

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 26, 2002
Rhizome.org Launches Revamped Web Site
Announces New Features and Enhanced Functionality
NEW YORK, NY, June 26, 2002 Rhizome.org, an online community focused on
new media art, announced today that it has redesigned its web site and
added several new web site features, including a global new media art
Calendar, Opportunity Listings, and a Community Directory.
The redesign and expansion are intended to make the site easier to navigate
and more useful to Rhizome.org members. Informed by two member surveys and
a focus group, the revamped site is part of Rhizome.org's strategic plan to
achieve long-term sustainability through community growth, community-based
revenue and scalable efficiency.
Highlights of the new site:
Calendar: http://rhizome.org/calendar
A significant percentage of the world's new media art events are already
announced on Rhizome.org's email lists. This new feature makes these
announcements accessible on the web via a familiar calendar interface and
allows members to post events via email or a web-based form.
Opportunity Listings: http://rhizome.org/opportunities
Similar to the Calendar, members can now both post and access new media art
opportunities -- such as jobs, grants, residencies, commissions, festivals,
conferences, and calls for papers -- on the Rhizome.org web site.
Opportunities are organized chronologically.
Community Directory
Each Rhizome.org member can now create a page on the Rhizome.org web site
that includes, at the member's discretion, contact information, a
biographical statement, an image and a resume. The Community Directory also
displays a list of members who are currently logged on to the web site.
Alphabetical lists of all members and member search functions are in
development.
"The new web site will be much more useful for our members around the world
and an essential resource for the new media art community," said Mark
Tribe, Founder and Executive Director of Rhizome.org. "For example, a
Korean museum curator could use our existing ArtBase to find Spanish
artists for an exhibition in Seoul, look up the artists' email addresses in
the Community Directory, and announce the opening reception in the Calendar."
Rhizome.org is a New York nonprofit organization that provides an online
platform for the global new media art community. Founded in 1996,
Rhizome.org serves as a grass-roots community center for new media artists,
curators, students, educators, writers and enthusiasts. Rhizome.org's
programs support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of
contemporary art that engages new technologies in significant ways.
Rhizome.org takes its name from the botanical term for an underground stem
that connects plants into living networks, a metaphor for the
organization's non-hierarchical structure. Widely considered to be the
world's leading online resource for and about new media artists and their
work, Rhizome.org connects, supports, and educates the new media art
community and the public through cost-free programs including email-based
discussion groups and publications, online archives for new media art works
and writings, a new media calendar and opportunity listings, a community
directory, a new media art commissioning program, outreach events, and an
international internship program.
Rhizome.org has 12,500 members in 118 countries. The Rhizome.org web site
receives six million hits each month, representing 50,000 unique visitors.
The Rhizome.org text archive (TextBase) contains 2,500 articles, while its
art archive (ArtBase) contains 650 works of new media art.

>Last summer, Katchadourian was on a residency at CCA7 in Trinidad. While

>"Natural Car Alarms" consists of a fleet of three cars, each outfitted

>researchers at the Macauley Library of Natural Sounds at the Cornell Lab
>of Ornithology to find birds whose calls closely matched the car sirens.

>In the art world, a work of art is called an "art piece." The word "
>piece" designates a thing that actually exists, but since software
>creations exist only as binary data, calling them an "art piece" doesn't
>suit well. Substituting "bit" for "piece," we have decided to call such
>a work an "art bit."
>
>In the case of software, which is used as a medium, material, tool,
>and environment for art, it is necessary to know the conditions of the
>"art bit"; under the present circumstances, however, when the market is
>glutted with high-performance application software, it is becoming
>increasingly difficult to stretch the individual's imaginative powers.
>Some people have even become convinced that no new software is needed
>beyond what already exists. Software ought not to be simply a tool that
>allows us to imitate actual operations and rationalize routine work. We
>must delve down and discover new possibilities that are latent in
>software and experiment with them through trial and error as "art bits."
>
>The "Art.Bit Collection" exhibit brings together and displays works that
>explore software possibilities in this sense -- programming language
>(especially visual programming language and language environment
>software for computer music), network community (software available on
>the Internet for creating and exhibiting artwork), software for visualization
>for the World Wide Web, new application software, and interactive works.
>Although we cannot perhaps say that these art bits have as yet evolved
>into major works in this sense, we can say that each of them contains a
>"bit of art" that shows extraordinary creativity.

## NYSCA Funds The Distribution Of New York Media Artists Work

Deadline:
Mon Jun 17, 2002 01:00

The New York State Council on the Arts' Electronic Media & Film Program announces the availability of funding towards the distribution of recently completed independent media arts projects by New York artists.
With management assistance from National Video Resources, awards of up to $5,000 will be made on a competitive basis for audio/radio, film, video, computer-based work, and installation art incorporating these media. This funding category was established to help professional artists in the State gain greater exposure for their work.
These awards can be used for distribution expenses such as marketing, dubs/prints, transfers, closed captioning, subtitling, or CD-ROM release costs. Funding decisions will be based on the artistic quality of the work and the relevance of the distribution plan.
Deadline for submission is August 15, 2002. Applications will be available by June. Awards will be announced in December 2002.
To receive the guidelines and application contact NYSCA's Electronic Media & Film Program by:
