Creativity and Technology Geography of the New Media Delimiting of a Liquid Art The MEDIATERRA FESTIVAL 10, 11, 12 December 99, on the field of Web Art, is accepting web based artworks and projects for participation to a virtual exhibition and competition. Deadline for Web Art submissions: 12/11/1999 The exhibition intends to realize a map of artistic works and intentions of the Mediterranean and Balkan area. We want to have an approximate view of the complex artistic image of this area. How is configured by the local artistic intentions, will and feelings toward the international net-space. What will emerge out of the submitted artistic works? well expressed cultural differences or unavoidable net-homogeneity? In order to participate to the net exhibition and competition the participants must come from the Mediterranean and Balkan countries. The works can be located anywhere in the net. The works we are more interested in, are works that use the net as the raw material. Independent and perverse works and projects based to the artistic (or anti-artistic) possibilities of the net, are also welcome. We are curious for works in local languages, related to the net space. Commercial commissioned works will be excluded. All the submitted and accepted works will be linked in the site of Fournos, and exhibited during the three days of the festival. For that purpose, about 5 PC's and 5 Mac's and a projector for screening the works will be available.
