Current call for works... New Langton Arts "packet"

We are looking for web based projects which fit the overall description of the "packet program" below.

However, I'm personally more interested in works which challenge the traditional design aesthetics of web based art, either by questioning or subverting this specific means of technological communication.

This program terminates with the presentation of jodi.org's 10 year anniversary
exhibition "WORLD WIDE WRONG: Thread//--1995--2005 10years WWW and 10jodiYears"

Packet Program description:

"data such as emails, web pages, and images sent across the network are broken down into smaller units called packets. These packets splinter off to take different routes, flying across the network to their destination. They end their brief lives as individual units when they reassemble back into the email or image one finally views. Packets are thus dynamic, small, ephemeral, and largely invisible, yet critical to the functioning of the system. Playfully named for these 'worker elves' of the networked world, the packet exhibition program showcases young artists who may not have exhibited before -- sometimes students or artists new to the medium who may not have developed enough work yet for a full-fledged show. The program is also intended to be clear of interpretive overhead and to highlight new works at the relatively quick exhibition pace of one every month." --Richard Rinehart
