> DIGITAL MUSEUM OF MODERN ART LAUNCHES IN CYBERSPACE
>
> The Digital Museum of Modern Art opened its portals to the public July 31,
> 2003.
> It can be accessed from anywhere in the world - from a catfish farm in the
> outfields of Cleveland a high rise apartment in Kuala Lampur. Anytime, day
> or
> night: "Art Never Sleeps".
>
> Go to: http://www.dmoma.org
>
> DMOMA is dedicated to new forms of visual expression, as well as adaptation
> of
> old techniques and processes to new purposes. The immediate focus is digital
> art,
> including art in digital format, physical art made by digital process, and
> art in
> every media and format that speaks to the advancing technologies of our era.
>
> DMOMA tests the underlying premise: << All art can be reduced to a sequence
> of
> binary bits. . . zeros and ones in endless succession. >>
>
> Not only art, but architecture, can manifest itself solely as binary bits,
> and
> exist solely in cyberspace. To paraphrase Nicholas Negroponte in "Being
> Digital":
>
> << As we go online and deliver more and more bits and fewer and fewer atoms,
> the
> leverage of maintaining a physical museum will disappear. Even having a
> dedicated
> staff of officers, curators and preparators will lose some its significance
> as as
> the museum becomes an electronic venue brought directly into your office,
> home
> and classroom. >>
>
> And into space DMOMA will go also, with DMOMA Deimos scheduled to open in
> June,
> 2004.
>
> The paradigm shift is upon us.
>
> Artists are invited to submit their art, under the precepts of the Viridian
> Green
> Manifesto, for possible inclusion in the museum collection; or to send
> proposals
> for special exhibitions. Go to: www.dmoma.org.
