OPEN
CALL FOR ARTISTS
Cyber Art Space (CAS) is an international experimental cybernetic exhibition of contemporary art, which will take place completely on the Web. This is a pioneering art project which approaches cyberspace as a real dimension and not as a virtual one.
The concept of this project was inspired from the atom’s microcosmos, where physics identifies it as a universe (real space) with all the fundamental forces, the same as in our real world. These fundamental forces include electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction and gravitation.
Atom’s
microcosmos
in Physics are considered as a universe (space), where gravitation is
not measurable and/or non-existent.
Cyberspace is the terrain,
which was either created or discovered by humans, existing within a
network of online systems, in order to assist their communication.
Throughout the years, this terrain transmitted into a new dimension (universe), where people are not only able to communicate, but to navigate too. Today, cyberspace contains objects (mails, files, graphics, etc.) with different modes of transportation, communication, delivery, etc.
CAS approaches cyberspace as a real space, identical to the atom’s microcosmos, with all the fundamental forces included; except gravitation, which is not measurable or does not exist at all.
Artists from all areas of Art (independently or in collaboration with curators) are invited to create an artwork in Digital Format for one of the determined spaces, which are available on the website of Cyber Art Space: www.CyberArtSpace.net.
There are 12 different available types of cyber-rooms for the artists to choose. Each cyber-room comes with three possible lighting configurations. All cyber-rooms of the chosen proposals will be structured into one 3 dimensional architectural grid.
The
visitors will be able to navigate within the space through their
browsers, then click and access the cyber-rooms
in order to see the artworks.
The
artists need to submit their digital proposals by July 31st, 2012.
The submissions will be reviewed by the curators of CAS
within the first days of August 2012.
The selected artists will be notified by email.
All artworks need to be submitted in 3D digital format. The selected artists/ groups will be advised by the organizers, for the process they will need to follow, in order to send their artworks. The selected artists/ groups will work closely with our programmers and curators. They will be responsible to send their final artworks in a 3D digital format, after they will be asked (no more than three days after the final selection).
Artists should visit our website to find more about the open call (including a video introduction) and the online procedure of submission, at: www.cyberartspace.net
The Exhibition opens on September 7th, 2012.
You
will be able to find related texts in the blog area, which will be
frequently updated.
CAS's spoken language is English.
