[spectre] call to artists / appel au artistes

[:: Garrett ::]

+-----------------------------------------------------------+

hi everyone

I have started working for a site (http://www.bannerart.org/) which hosts 
banners created by different artists in gif, jpeg, flash or shockwave 
formats.

The concept is for artists to claim a commonly used constuct on the 
internet, the "banner", as their own, to use the form and space normally 
used by the commercial domain to propagate ideas and artistic talent and to 
encourage other sites  to host these works of art.  A complete "call for 
atists" is included at the bottom of this email.

We would encourage you to contribute works in any of the four formats and 
look forward to seeing works that push the boundaries of what banners are 
and can do while still complying to the Internet Advertising Bureau's 
(http://www.iab.net/) guidelines.

Call to artists

All net artists and web designers are invited to contribute to the
Banner Art Collective (http://www.bannerart.org).

The BAC collects and host art and poetry that is created and
distributed within the limitations of web advertising (as defined by
the Internet Advertising Bureau).  Artists can create works to add to
the collection, and users can host any work in the collection on
their own page by adding a bit of code to their own HTML.

By creating and distributing art within the limitations of web
advertising, web artists and writers are forced to practice their art
under stringent rules that allow the artist to 1) hone their skills
under strict guidelines and 2) pull off something magical by working
against and within the limitations of a strict form. Artists can more
fully explore the intersections between art and commerce, and (quite
literally) the marginal status of art created for distribution on the
web. And users are forced into a position of enpowerment; as they
discover banner art pieces, they will 1) become aware of the both the
pervasion and possibilities of advertising space on the web, 2)
experience new art in new contexts, and 3) be granted a sort of
patron status, as they can host on their own websites work they find
compelling.

Currently, the project has collected works from artists in Italy,
Germany, France, Belgium, the UK, and the US.  BAC works have been
added to sites in Italy, Canada, the UK, and the US.  The project has
been mentioned at several web publications: Random, TijdNet, Neural,
and the Hypertext Kitchen.

Please address any concerns or queries to "brandon@bannerart.org".
