>> Who's Afraid of Blue, Red and Green? is an online competition and public
>> art project by multimedia Austrian artist Gunther Selichar. From
>> January
>> 21 - March 31, participants will be asked to design 15-second abstract
>> animations in an exercise designed to explore the elementary visual
>> building blocks of digital display screens: the colors blue, red, and
>> green. The online competition is presented in collaboration with the
>> Landesmuseum in Linz, Austria, host of a concurrent exhibition, January
>> 21
>> - February 28, 2004 of Selichar's work.
>>
>> Who's Afraid of Blue, Red and Green? is a direct reference to Barnett
>> Newman's abstract expressionist painting, Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow
>> and
>> Blue? (1966-70), one of several paintings, including the "Zip" series,
>> in
>> which Newman explored the nuanced relationship between proportion,
>> scale,
>> and color. Drawing inspiration from this investigative process,
>> Selichar's Who's Afraid of Blue, Red and Green? charges participants to
>> employ traditional painterly compositional criteria on a display screen
>> as
>> opposed to canvas.
>>
>> A jury consisting of the artist, curators, academics and others in the
>> creative community will select three winners to be notified in May 2004.
>> The winners will be screened in rotation in Creative Time's ongoing
>> series, The 59th Minute: Video Art on the Times Square Astrovision by
>> Panasonic as part of a group show of interactive projects in Times
>> Square
>> from late June through September 2004.
>>
>> We hope to disseminate information on the competition broadly, both
>> nationally and internationally, and thought that Rhizome and Media
>> Lounge
>> subscribers might be interested in participating.
>>
>> Thanks for your time and consideration.
