submit-art.com

I thought of this one tonight in the shower –

http://submit-it.com is one of those services where you can fill out
a standard form about your web site, and then the service formats
your data multiple ways and submits your site to several different
search engines all at once.

So someone should make http://submit-art.com (the URL is still available).

It would be a service where you fill out a standard form about your
net art, and then the service would format your data and submit your
artwork to multiple art festivals and grant organizations:
transmediale
ars electronica
FILE
ISEA conference
SIGGRAPH
turbulence
etc.

As an added bonus, submit-art.com could partner with this handy
service to offer free, automatically-generated artist statements:
http://playdamage.org/market-o-matic/

Heck, why stop there? The Fluxus Performance Workbook contained
pre-fab conceptual instructions on how to implement your own
performance piece. Why not make a meta-Fluxus Performance Workbook
containing pre-fab meta-instructions on how to implement your own
conceptual performance instructions? Why stop there? Why not
automate the whole thing to generatively output random conceptual art
instructions?

How about a companion site called http://submit-crit.com (the URL is
still available).

Same type of service, except it would submit your critical paper on
new media theory to multiple symposia.

Don't have a paper on new media theory? Not to worry. All that has
been automated too:
http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/postmodern/
Just keep hitting refresh until you see something that fits (or let
submit-crit.com hit refresh for you until it sees something that
fits).

Once you build submit-art.com, you can conceive of submit-art.com as
art, and then simply use submit-art.com to submit itself. [cf:

Boy howdy! This very email is starting to smell like art. Or
meta-meta-meta art. Or something pungent.

enjoy,
curt
