Various fetches brought me to the Rhizome Commissions page. A bright submitter from our new media group would be well rewarded. Do we have any takers? The second request looks interesting:
2) Community project
In 2007, Rhizome will also award one commission to an artist whose project will benefit our community, by enhancing communication, participation or user experience on the website. Artists will be asked to execute the Community Project independently and be prepared to work with Rhizome to integrate the work when complete. Projects must be feasible, and manageable for up to one year. Precursors include Rhizome’s ‘alt.interface’ which provided alternative interfaces, or visualizations, for Rhizome’s online archive, the ArtBase.
In addition to the above, some of students may be interested in this from Google. The Google Summer of Code is accepting student applications.
