***A joint venture betwwen VIROSE (Porto) and V2_Organisation (Rotterdam)

On Liga??es/Links/Liaisons

In 2001, the city of Porto (Portugal) and the city of Rotterdam
(Netherlands), are the chosen European Capitals of Culture. In the context
of Porto 2001, the Program on ?hought, Science and Interdisciplinary
Projects?is promoting an International Conference on cyberculture,
entitled ?iga??es/Links/Liaisons? which is curated by Jos? Bragan?a de
Miranda e Maria Teresa Cruz. The event will take place in Serralves Museum
(Porto) from the 29th October to the 2nd November. Researchers and artists
will be invited to react to the theme of the conference and all
collaborations will be gather in the website and in a book to be published
on the date of the conference. Each one will react to these questions, in
five specific sessions: free links; strange or uncanny links; dangerous
links; entangled links; on-off links.

In conjunction with this event, Virose and V_2 Organisation have put
together a contest consisting of the development of web.art projects. The
contest is intended to promote projects of an experimental nature, as
should any kind of initiative of this sort. As such, multiple and varied
responses are expected, but these should not drift away from the proposed
Links themes. However, there shall not be any limitations to the creative
conception of Links, which should be developed in a conceptually expansive
form or manner.

The competition is open to any art project designed and developed
specifically for the Web and produced after the 1st of January 2001. The
deadline for submission is the 5th of October 2001, along with the
submissions form properly filled out.

The Juries final decision will announce the winner. The decision will be
communicated to the winning participants on the 31st of October 2001. The
US $2500 prize money will go to the best project in competition. Runner ups
shall receive a written statement for their participation indicating the
outstanding quality of their projects as well as an invitation for future
developments within VIROSE's  activities.
