Rhizome is pleased to announce increased funding for its Commissions Program. This year, eleven emerging artists/ collectives have been awarded commissions, for a total of $23,000, in support of new works of Internet-based art. The commissioned works will be presented on Rhizome.org and at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as archived in Rhizome's online archive, the ArtBase.

The commissioned artworks were selected by Rhizome members and a jury composed of Suhjung Hur, Curator, Art Center Nabi; Rudolf Freiling, Curator of Media Arts, SFMoMA; Marc Garrett, CoDirector and CoFounder of Furtherfield; Christina Ray, Founder and Director of Glowlab and the Conflux Festival; and Lauren Cornell and Marisa Olson of Rhizome. Rhizome members awarded three of the eleven commissions including our first ever Community Award, a new category created this year to support projects that enhance participation and communication on Rhizome.org. This award went to conglomco.org (Tyler Jacobsen & Kim Schnaubert) for zHarmony (see below for details).

The Rhizome Commissions program is supported, in part, by funds from the Greenwall Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Additional support is provided by generous individuals and Rhizome members.

Eavesdropping
by Jack Stockholm

Eavesdropping is a networked audio system designed for guerilla performance to raise awareness of our ambient communication in public spaces. This project highlights the intentionality and exhibitionism of bringing our private actions into the public sphere.

Ebay-Generator
by UBERMORGEN.COM, Alessandro Ludovico, Paolo Cirio

Ebay-Generator will generate songs based on the public data mined from Ebay sellers and buyers. Users' rating, sold objects, times and frequency of transactions and other data will be automatically transformed into a structured text, which a supercollider-application will use to generate music and lyrics.

JELLOTIME.COM
by Rafael Rozendaal

JelloTime.com will be a website with a single flash animation. You will see a green plate with a red Jello dessert. When you touch the jelly with your mouse, it 'wobbles'. It will shake and make a strange sound, the more you pull it, the more it will shake. I really want to emulate the feeling of jelly, something between solid and liquid. A feeling that is very familiar in real life that might seem strange on a computer screen.

Phrenology
by Melanie Crean with Chris Sugrue and Paul Geluso

Phrenology will investigate the perception of space, whether real, virtual or imagined, though writings created by incarcerated women in a workshop the artist will teach at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility . The piece will consist of a series of 360 degree photographic panoramas that interconnect through text included in the environments. Viewers will be able to move through the different environments to read the women's writing in a form of spatial poem, accompanied by an experimental sound track based on the text.

Remote Instructions
by Lee Walton

Remote Instructions is a web-central project that will utilize both the communication capabilities of the web and spectatorship of its users. From a central hub, Lee Walton will collaborate with strangers globally via the web and orchestrate a series of video performances that will take place in real cities, neighborhoods, villages and towns around the world. A Remote Instructions website will be created to host video projects and promote networking among collaborators.

Second Life Dumpster
by eteam

In Second Life each avatar has a trash folder. Items, that get deleted end up in that folder by default. The trash folder has to get emptied as often as possible, otherwise the avatars performance might diminish. But, where do deleted things end up? What are those things? Second Life Dumpster will explore these questions by starting and maintaining a public dumpster in Second Life for the duration of one year.

ShiftSpace - An OpenSource Layer Above Any Website
by Dan Phiffer and Mushon Zer-Aviv

While the Internet's design is widely understood to be open and distributed, control over how users interact online has given us largely centralized and closed systems. ShiftSpace is an Open Source platform that attempts to subvert this trend by providing a new public space on the web. By pressing the [Shift] + [Space] keys, a ShiftSpace user can invoke a new meta layer above any web page to browse and create additional interpretations, contextualizations and interventions using various authoring tools.

VF, Virta-Flaneurazine-SL, Proposal for Clinical Study Member Selection
by Will Pappenheimer and John Craig Freeman

Virta-Flaneurazine-SL is a potent programmable "mood changing" drug for Second Life (SL). A member of the "Wanderment" family of psychotropic drugs; when ingested it automatically causes the bearer to aimlessly roam the distant lands of SL for up to a full day. As the prograchemistry takes effect, users find themselves erratically teleporting to random locations, behaving strangely, seeing digephemera and moving in circuitous paths. Many users report the experience allows them to see SL freed from its limitations as a fast growing grid of investment properties.

The Wrench
by Knifeandfork (Sue Huang and Brian House)

The Wrench will recast Primo Levi's The Monkey's Wrench into a mobile phone text-message exchange between participants and an artificially-intelligent agent. Taking place over the course of a week, the dialogue is not pre-determined; it employs Knifeandfork's nonlinear narrative software engine. The system is intended to present a convincingly human agent within a realtime plot progression. The AI will have specific, dynamic narrative goals for each interaction, designed to intertwine the lives of the character and participant through the ubiquitous yet restrictive communication channel of text-messaging.

zHarmony Member Selection
by conglomco.org (Tyler Jacobsen & Kim Schnaubert)

zHarmony is an addition to Rhizome that will combine the Compatibility Matching System of online relationship services like eHarmony with Rhizome's existing database of artists. zHarmony will produce a unique artist profiling system that can automatically match artists with like-minded collaborators (or groups of collaborators) based on multiple points of compatibility.

Google Will Eat Itself
By Hans Bernhard and Alessandro Ludovico
http://www.gwei.org/rhizome05.html

"We generate money by serving Google text advertisments on GWEI.org. With this money we buy Google shares. We buy Google via their own advertisments! Google eats itself - but in the end we'll own it! By establishing this model we deconstruct the new global advertisement mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic model." - Hans Bernhard & Alessandro Ludovico

Triptych is an audio/video, web-based work approximately ten minutes in length, that is structured as a non-linear, generative triptych that explores three dynamics: motion, resistance and stillness. Each panel of the triptych will focus on one dynamic in the context of an urban environment and will be named accordingly. The dynamics will be employed as visual metaphors for universal emotive and cognitive states taken from the artist's personal experiences. As the work will be generative, and therefore self-structuring, each time the work is viewed it will be unique. Triptych aspires to expand the conceptual and technical parameters of net-based video.

Eternal Sunset continually presents live images of the sunset using existing online webcams from all over the world. As the sunset moves westward, Eternal Sunset tunes into different webcams, chasing the sunset around the globe. Eternal Sunset is a virtual space where time is passing but where the daily cycle of day and night has come to a freeze at sunset. Eternal Sunset comments on the collapse of space and time brought about by technology in general and the Internet in particular.

Panel Junction blends the graphic novel with forms of shared, online authorship. It merges spontaneous drawing with scripting and direction from online visitors. Participants from around the world will contribute dialog, graphics, caricatures, fonts, narrative ideas, internal monologues, jokes, backgrounds, puns, story-boards, coloring, anecdotes, and sketches. This will culminate in a printable (PDF) graphic novel of approximately ten pages.

music 4 100 computers
By Sean Kerr
http://www.people.auckland.ac.nz/seankerr/proposals/rhizome_project/

music 4 100 computers explores new music, the internet, multi-user environments, the role of the artist and audience in creating meaning from an event, and contains a strong component of social or community interaction.

Email Erosion
By Annie Brissenden, Ethan Ham and Tony Muilenburg
http://www.ethanham.com/rhizome/

Email Erosion is an installation (viewable via webcams) that automatically creates sculptures using email as a catalyst. A block of biodegradable styrofoam is surrounded by a steel frame. On each face of the frame is a mobile mechanism that can squirt water on the foam, causing it to slowly dissolve. Each mechanism is associated with an email address. Whenever email is received, the mechanism is triggered to either move or squirt water?-the particular action being determined by an algorithm that uses the email's content as input data.

To Be Listened To...
By MTAA (M.River & T.Whid Art Associates)
http://www.mteww.com/rhiz05/

To Be Listened To... consists of 10 thematic podcast feeds. Each feed is open to audio programming by the online public. A website (authored in PHP) allows users to upload audio files (MP3-only) and subscribe to the feeds. The artists will not edit the uploads from users, but will seed each feed with audio files commissioned from 8 artists to be determined.

Lakshmi is an experiment in the integration of narrative, illustration and interaction. Its story is the Indian creation story called 'the churning of the ocean' and its visual style is inspired by Indian miniatures. The main experiment of the piece lies in the hiding of the story interface, merging it with the illustration to make it as immersive as possible. There is no text, just a voice to which you have to listen carefully to decipher the contours of the story.

Fallenfruit.org
By Dave Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young
http://www.fallenfruit.org/grant.html

FallenFruit.org maps all the 'public fruit' planted on private property that overhangs public space. This project encourages people to harvest, plant and share public fruit. The project is a response to accelerating urbanization, as well as issues of grassroots community activism and social responsibility. The mission of the project is to expand our community fruit maps, photos and essays to create an online, global public fruit resource.

Citypong
By Jason Corace and Vicky Fang
http://www.citypong.com/

CityPong allows residents of rival cities to collaboratively compete against each other in a game of Pong. The game is played in the same fashion as the original, but the time, scale, and way in which the players participate is different. In a game of CityPong, players move their respective city's paddles by voting which direction to move the paddle. The voting takes place online or by text messaging a number found on a projected building-side gamescreen. Each player's vote moves their city's paddle a fraction of a pixel. CityPong requires group collaboration and consensus to successfully win the game, and relies on a sense of community and city pride, with team building and trash talking opportunities incorporated into the system. Games are played over the course of several days and matches are won on a best out of three game basis. Unlike professional sports however, CityPong demands active and direct participation. Its fans will also be its players.


	Current Research: ARTCOM is a San Francisco-based arts organization which runs The ARTCOM Electronic Network (ACEN), an on-line magazine forum dedicated to the interface of contemporary art and new communication technologies. ACEN runs on the WELL as a conference, part of which consists of an on-line art gallery. Among the works which have appeared are "Diagram Series" by Jim Rosenberg, "The Heart of the Machine" by Ian Ferrier, Uncle Roger by Judy Malloy, and "The First Meeting of the Satie Society" by John Cage. In Canada it may be easier to access ARTCOM through Matrix at Inter/Access. http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0211.html http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0276.html http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0267.html The Electronic Labyrinth is a study of the implications of hypertext for creative writers looking to move beyond traditional notions of linearity. Our project evaluates hypertext and its potential for use by literary artists in three ways: By placing the development of hypertext in the context of the literary tradition of non-linear approaches to narrative. This context provides a means of re-evaluating the concept of the book in the age of electronic text. Specific points of investigation include Cortázar's Hopscotch, Nabokov's Pale Fire, Pavic's Dictionary of the Khazars, and Sterne's Tristram Shandy. By investigating literary works created specifically for computerized hypertext. These include Joyce's Afternoon, A Story, McDaid's Uncle Buddy's Phantom Funhouse, and Wilmott's Everglade. By evaluating the hardware platforms and software environments available to writers. Criteria include ease of use, availability, methods of distribution and publication, and the tools available to the writer and reader. Our emphasis is placed on the assumptions each environment makes of the writing and reading processes, the metaphors reinforced by the environment, and the freedom allowed the writer to explore new forms. We have focused on IBM-compatible and Apple hardware platforms, and reviewed such software as Eastgate System's Storyspace, Claris' HyperCard, IBM's Linkway, and Ntergaid's Hyperwriter. Hyperizons Hypertext Fiction What I'm Onto "To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair." Binx Bolling, in Walker Percy's The Moviegoer What I'm onto here is writing and researching and thinking about hypertext fiction. For those of you familiar with it already, enough said--you may want to go back to the Contents. For those of you unfamiliar with it, hypertext fiction (aka hyperfiction, interactive fiction, nonlinear fiction) is a new art form that while not necessarily made possible by the computer was certainly made feasible by it. Its creators make use of hypertext--of which the Web is only one widespread albeit limited incarnation--to create fiction with many features uncharacteristic of print fiction: multiple paths through the same text; multiple endings (and beginnings); questions posed to the reader which, once answered, influence what the reader will read; audiovisual attachments; navigable maps; and so on and so on. Readers seeking more extensive definitions of hypertext fiction are invited to browse through the Theory and Criticism section or, better yet, simply start reading a few works--artists always outstrip their would-be definers. http://www.duke.edu/~mshumate/hyperfic.html --------------------

Our main focus is on questioning and analyzing as well as reporting and discussing these new art forms as they develop, in hopes of encouraging dialogue and possible collaboration with others who are working and considering similar issues.

By pressing the [Shift] + [Space] keys, a ShiftSpace user can invoke a new meta layer above any web page to browse and create additional interpretations, contextualizations and interventions using various authoring tools. *VF, Virta-Flaneurazine-SL, Proposal for Clinical Study* Member Selection by Will Pappenheimer and John Craig Freeman Virta-Flaneurazine-SL is a potent programmable "mood changing" drug for Second Life (SL). A member of the "Wanderment" family of psychotropic drugs; when ingested it automatically causes the bearer to aimlessly roam the distant lands of SL for up to a full day. As the prograchemistry takes effect, users find themselves erratically teleporting to random locations, behaving strangely, seeing digephemera and moving in circuitous paths. Many users report the experience allows them to see SL freed from its limitations as a fast growing grid of investment properties. *The Wrench* by Knifeandfork (Sue Huang and Brian House) The Wrench will recast Primo Levi's The Monkey's Wrench into a mobile phone text-message exchange between participants and an artificially-intelligent agent. Taking place over the course of a week, the dialogue is not pre-determined; it employs Knifeandfork's nonlinear narrative software engine. The system is intended to present a convincingly human agent within a realtime plot progression. The AI will have specific, dynamic narrative goals for each interaction, designed to intertwine the lives of the character and participant through the ubiquitous yet restrictive communication channel of text-messaging. *zHarmony* Member Selection by conglomco.org (Tyler Jacobsen & Kim Schnaubert) zHarmony is an addition to Rhizome that will combine the Compatibility Matching System of online relationship services like eHarmony with Rhizome's existing database of artists. zHarmony will produce a unique artist profiling system that can automatically match artists with like-minded collaborators (or groups of collaborators) based on multiple points of compatibility. - Rhizome Commission Award Winners Google Will Eat Itself By Hans Bernhard and Alessandro Ludovico http://www.gwei.org/rhizome05.html "We generate money by serving Google text advertisments on GWEI.org. With this money we buy Google shares. We buy Google via their own advertisments! Google eats itself - but in the end we'll own it! By establishing this model we deconstruct the new global advertisement mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic model." - Hans Bernhard & Alessandro Ludovico Triptych By Peter Horvath http://www.6168.org/rhizome_proposal/ Triptych is an audio/video, web-based work approximately ten minutes in length, that is structured as a non-linear, generative triptych that explores three dynamics: motion, resistance and stillness. Each panel of the triptych will focus on one dynamic in the context of an urban environment and will be named accordingly. The dynamics will be employed as visual metaphors for universal emotive and cognitive states taken from the artist's personal experiences. As the work will be generative, and therefore self-structuring, each time the work is viewed it will be unique. Triptych aspires to expand the conceptual and technical parameters of net-based video. Eternal Sunset By Adriaan Stellingwerff http://www.eternalsunset.net/ Eternal Sunset continually presents live images of the sunset using existing online webcams from all over the world. As the sunset moves westward, Eternal Sunset tunes into different webcams, chasing the sunset around the globe. Eternal Sunset is a virtual space where time is passing but where the daily cycle of day and night has come to a freeze at sunset. Eternal Sunset comments on the collapse of space and time brought about by technology in general and the Internet in particular. Panel Junction By Andy Deck http://artcontext.org/act/05/panel/ Panel Junction blends the graphic novel with forms of shared, online authorship. It merges spontaneous drawing with scripting and direction from online visitors. Participants from around the world will contribute dialog, graphics, caricatures, fonts, narrative ideas, internal monologues, jokes, backgrounds, puns, story-boards, coloring, anecdotes, and sketches. This will culminate in a printable (PDF) graphic novel of approximately ten pages. music 4 100 computers By Sean Kerr http://www.people.auckland.ac.nz/seankerr/proposals/rhizome_project/ music 4 100 computers explores new music, the internet, multi-user environments, the role of the artist and audience in creating meaning from an event, and contains a strong component of social or community interaction. Email Erosion By Annie Brissenden, Ethan Ham and Tony Muilenburg http://www.ethanham.com/rhizome/ Email Erosion is an installation (viewable via webcams) that automatically creates sculptures using email as a catalyst. A block of biodegradable styrofoam is surrounded by a steel frame. On each face of the frame is a mobile mechanism that can squirt water on the foam, causing it to slowly dissolve. Each mechanism is associated with an email address. Whenever email is received, the mechanism is triggered to either move or squirt water?-the particular action being determined by an algorithm that uses the email's content as input data. To Be Listened To... By MTAA (M.River & T.Whid Art Associates) http://www.mteww.com/rhiz05/ To Be Listened To... consists of 10 thematic podcast feeds. Each feed is open to audio programming by the online public. A website (authored in PHP) allows users to upload audio files (MP3-only) and subscribe to the feeds. The artists will not edit the uploads from users, but will seed each feed with audio files commissioned from 8 artists to be determined. Lakshmi By Thomas Laureyssens http://www.toyfoo.com/lakshmi/rhizome.html Lakshmi is an experiment in the integration of narrative, illustration and interaction. Its story is the Indian creation story called 'the churning of the ocean' and its visual style is inspired by Indian miniatures. The main experiment of the piece lies in the hiding of the story interface, merging it with the illustration to make it as immersive as possible. There is no text, just a voice to which you have to listen carefully to decipher the contours of the story. Fallenfruit.org By Dave Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young http://www.fallenfruit.org/grant.html FallenFruit.org maps all the 'public fruit' planted on private property that overhangs public space. This project encourages people to harvest, plant and share public fruit. The project is a response to accelerating urbanization, as well as issues of grassroots community activism and social responsibility. The mission of the project is to expand our community fruit maps, photos and essays to create an online, global public fruit resource. Citypong By Jason Corace and Vicky Fang http://www.citypong.com/ CityPong allows residents of rival cities to collaboratively compete against each other in a game of Pong. The game is played in the same fashion as the original, but the time, scale, and way in which the players participate is different. In a game of CityPong, players move their respective city's paddles by voting which direction to move the paddle. The voting takes place online or by text messaging a number found on a projected building-side gamescreen. Each player's vote moves their city's paddle a fraction of a pixel. CityPong requires group collaboration and consensus to successfully win the game, and relies on a sense of community and city pride, with team building and trash talking opportunities incorporated into the system. Games are played over the course of several days and matches are won on a best out of three game basis. Unlike professional sports however, CityPong demands active and direct participation. Its fans will also be its players.
