| [Nettime-bold] 3RD INTERNATIONAL BROWSER DAY |
ANNOUNCEMENT THE SOCIETY FOR OLD AND NEW MEDIA, DE BALIE, PARADISO AND NL DESIGN PRESENT 3RD INTERNATIONAL BROWSERDAY - 19 MAY 2000 PARADISO AMSTERDAM For the third consecutive year the Society for Old and New Media, presents in co-operation with De Balie, Paradiso and NL Design the International Browserday. The Browserday will take place at Paradiso, Amsterdam on 19 May. The International Browserday is a competition challenging design students to offer an appealing alternative for the existing browsers. Students of international arts academies are invited to compete in the Browser Competition with an original design. This year's theme is The End of the Browsers. The integration of internet and television is almost a fact. What does this mean for users? An extension of the possibilities to be a producer of media oneself, or just a new way of consuming? The thirty best designs will be presented by their makers in a 3 minute knock out show. Showmaster is John Thackara, initiator and organiser of the Doors of Perception conferences. On top of the presentations, international interaction and multimedia designers will be invited to show their work. A jury of professionals from the design, media and IT branche will determine who gets the Browser Award. The award will be handed over ceremoniously. Earlier winners were Joes Koppers for his 'Browser' (1998) and Andrej Mrackovski for 'Enzyme' (1999). Invitations were sent to a.o.: Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Utrecht School for the Arts, Willem de Kooning Academy, Royal College of Art (UK), Academy of Media Arts (Germany), Domus Academy (Italy), Media GN (NL), HFG Wuppertal (Germany), Vienna Hogeschule fur Angenahme Kunst (Austria), University of Art and Design UIAH (Finland).
