About the curator's pick for May 2002:

Artist: Lynn Cox

Title of Work: 'TLV (Snapshot)'

Medium/Technology: Audio (MP3)

Artist Statement:

'TLV (Snapshot)' is the baby in the 'TLV Family'. It has only learnt one
route through life and must continually retrace its restricted journey
down the same branches until it can break the bonds of the tree.

A strong constituent of all of the artwork is the concepts of mapping
and journeys, which have been undertaken through a variety of techniques
including Psychogeography (i.e. the mental relationship between areas
rather than their geographic proximity). The work is illustrated by
providing isolated glimpses, snap shots or remnants, that are only
partially conceived by the participants, of events in time and space.

ABOUT THE DIGITAL POCKET GALLERY

How to Submit: http://www.ikatun.com/digitalpocketgallery/submit.htm

The digital pocket gallery effort began in March 2002.

The digital pocket gallery was inspired by the real-life Pocket Gallery
at 536 gallery in Vancouver, Canada.

Pockets contain miniature biographies and testaments to our lives and
forgotten stories. The crumpled train ticket speaks of journeys taken,
the handful of confetti in your 'best' jacket of a wedding years before
or the telephone number on the back of a matchbook given by a someone
who's name and face is long forgotten. Files and folders are the
'digital pockets' of the internet artist. The hard-drive is an
autobiography in coded form. Dreams, ideas and waste lie hidden in these
cryptically labelled pockets that have become the maps and landscapes of
our
virtual lives.

All entries that meet the submission guidelines will be included in the
exhibit. Each month the curators will select a number of works to
feature in the gallery that, in their opinion, are particularly strong
and/or original interpretations of the concept.
