Just got this mail courting me for the Net Vision category at Ars. I don’t have any new net.art this year, but did send in some Compressionist stuff as performative/interactive analog/digital art for the obvious category… Would be great to see some South Africans represent – in any category!

Net Vision
The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed and-especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this category.For further information about Net Vision donÂ’t hesitate to contact us.
