Call for Entries: Turbulence New England Initiative II

Turbulence.org is pleased to announce its "New England Initiative II," a
juried, networked art competition. Three projects by New England artists
will be commissioned and exhibited on Turbulence (http://turbulence.org) and
in real space (venue to be announced). The jury consists of Julian Bleecker,
Michelle Thursz, and Helen Thorington. This project is made possible with
funds from the LEF Foundation.

PROJECT CONCEPT: Net art projects are "art projects for which the Net is
both a sufficient and necessary condition of
viewing/expressing/participating" (Steve Dietz). They live in the public
world of the Internet. Recently, however, wireless telecommunications
technologies have enabled computation to migrate out of the desktop PC into
the physical world, creating the possibility of "hybrid" networked art,
works that intermingle and fuse previously discrete identities, disciplines,
and/or fields of activity such as the Internet and urban space. (See the
