Announcing Proteus a net art project by Conor McGarrigle
ANNOUNCING
PROTEUS
The ineluctable modality of the visible - the continuing story of Artie
Doyle
A Net Art Project by Conor McGarrigle
http://www.stunned.org/proteus
Proteus is a meditation on place which takes place as our protagonist,
Artie travels on the DART commuter train into Dublin. For a few minutes
on this journey you can see Sandymount strand, the sea and the sky
before you are plunged once again into the heart of the city. This
episode is set against the background of those few minutes and the
train's movement as Artie's thoughts in the form of images of place and
notebook sketches are made manifest.
The project is part of a non-linear episodic narrative work in progress
which follows artist Artie Doyle on his travels through Dublin, each
episode corresponds to a chapter in Joyce's Ulysses. This is the second
episode of eighteen, the first being Cyclops.
http://www.stunned.org/cyclops
While on first appearence the scenes have a realistic look, it is soon
obvious that they are purely digital creations. The Dublin that is
presented in these narratives is an enhanced city, a city of grand
gestures and declamatory statements where the inner life of the
citizens, their thoughts, hopes and desires become manifest in the
streetscape and the fabric of the city like a contemporary take on
pathetic fallacy. As Joyce's stream of consciousness revealed the inner
lives of ordinary Dubliners these narratives seek to reveal the creative
processes of our protagonist, Artie Doyle, an artistic everyman and to
connect him to both the physical city and the iconic Joycean city where
the strands of history and culture bind us to the past.
Conor McGarrigle will be presenting both Proteus and Cyclops at the 5th
Symposium on Art and Multimedia Metanarrative(s)? at the Mediateca,
Fundacio "la Caixa", Barcelona 28th & 29th January

The Net Art Open 2004 : Call for entries
The Net Art Open 2004
---------------------
Call for entries
---------------------
Since 2002 Stunned.org ran the Irish Museum of Modern Art.com Net Art
Open. Now that the IrishMuseumofModernArt.com is no more the Net Art
Open will continue at Stunned with the Net Art Open 2004.
As before this is an open exhibiton with no thematic constraints which
is open to all artwork which is net based or has a significant net based
element. All work that meets the criteria will be shown. This is an
ongoing call for work with no deadlines and entries will be accepted
until the end of 2004.
2004 will see a change of format, rather then a single large exhibition
as in previous editions the 2004 exhibition will adopt a revolving
format which will focus on up to four projects per month with an archive
of all entries. The exhibition will continue until the end of 2004.

The Haunted Art Blog
++++++++++++++
The Haunted Blog
++++++++++++++
As part of the Civil Arts Enquiry's Haunted Event
http://www.cityartscentre.ie/hauntedvis.html at the City Arts Centre
Dublin, Net artist Conor McGarrigle has been commissioned to create a
blog based artwork.
Over the exhibition period the blog will conduct a virtual exploration of
the City Arts Centre from personal reminiscences, past exhibitions and
events placed in a context of it's location and the physical changes that
have taken place in this part of Dublin since the City Arts Centre opened.
As a regular blogger and a devotee of the blogosphere McGarrigle has always
been interested in the potential to use the blog format as an art medium.
Not just to blog about art but that the blog itself would be an artwork.
The Haunted exhibition has presented the perfect opportunity to put these
ideas into action.
The Blog runs from the 22nd September - 14 October with regular updates.
Online at http://www.cityartscentre.ie/blog and in the City Arts Centre,
Moss St Dublin.
Note: The first entry involves a substantial download, subsequent entries
will be more bandwidth friendly!
