Free103point9 and Rhizome are pleased to announce an online exhibition of web-based projects selected from an open call for submissions.
Surge includes works by artists 31 Down , Abe Linkoln and Marisa Olson , Angel Nevarez and Alex Rivera , NYSAE (New York Society for Acoustic Ecology), Jim Punk , and Leslie Sharpe . The featured projects employ new media tools to both conceptually and formally address different possibilities for transmission art online. Some consider the nature of signals as they move through the ether; others appropriate forms of wireless transmission, such as the military's aerial ‘drone' or the programming language AsCii, to propose new kinds of digital communication.
A public presentation in conjunction with the exhibition will take place at Participant, Inc. in New York on March 28, 2006.
free103point9 is a non-profit media arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating Transmission Arts. This genre includes experimental practices in radio art, video art, light sculpture, and installation and performance utilizing the wireless spectrum. free103point9 activities support and promote artists exploring transmission mediums for creative expression. free103point9 programs include transmission-based public performances and exhibitions, an experimental music series, an online radio station and distribution label, an education initiative, and an artist residency program and study center. Founded in 1997 as a microcasting artist collective, free103point9's goals during the formative years were focused on the microradio movement fight's for public access to the airwaves. free103's mobile operations made airtime available to community voices, local bands, and most significantly to a group of under-served artists shaping conceptual works specifically for radio transmission.
Rhizome.org is an online platform for the global new media art community. Our programs support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of contemporary art that uses new technologies in significant ways. Rhizome was founded in 1996 as a mailing list for some of the first artists experimenting with making art online. Since that time, Rhizome has established itself as a central hub for the new media art field and come to offer a variety of resources and services including archives of art and critical writing, new media arts-related publications, an annual Commissions program, and a youth outreach initiative. Rhizome became a nonprofit in 1998, and formed an affiliation with the New Museum of Contemporary Art in 2003.
