Web Biennial 2003 starts at www.webbiennial.org

Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum and the Director
Mehmet Sinan is happy to announce the start of the
first ever Web Biennial in June 2003. Web Biennial
2003 is the first international bi-annual contemporary
art exhibition that will be located exclusively on the
World Wide Web (W.W.W). The Web Biennial has been
anounced, produced, exhibited and then will be
documented on the Web. This approach is unique among
other exhitions and Biennials as the consept is built
upon this de-centralisation. Technically the
navigation is based on a simple portal and a custom
search engine. In this structure the participants not
only host their own contents in their own servers but
they also voluntarily change the source code of their
index pages for navigation through the web. Hence the
Web Biennial not only aims to offer an alternative
approach for exhibiting online art but also an
alternative approach for exhibiting art online.
