About the curator's pick for June 2002:

Artist: James C. Whitelock
Title of Work: seeingiswhen
Medium/Technology: JPG
Artist: spans
Title of Work: 11hour
Medium/Technology: Shockwave 
Artist Statement: Don't you just love it when accidents come together?
The sound loop [that is audible onmouseover the image] is a chorus of
banjo frogs. The voices of these critters were accidentally captured
using the sound bite facility of a digital stills camera while I was
snapping a shot of something else.
The pix came from errors that my PC makes when using the "print screen"
function. 
Artist: Damien Robinson
Title of Work: Damien Robinson
Medium/Technology: Flash 
Artist Statement: My digital pockets often contain work that doesn’t
make it to a public arena – early versions, failures, trials, things
which didn’t quite come off… Sometimes they come back to bug me when I
should be getting on with something else.

ABOUT THE DIGITAL POCKET GALLERY

How to Submit: http://www.ikatun.com/digitalpocketgallery/submit.htm

The digital pocket gallery effort began in March 2002.

The digital pocket gallery was inspired by the real-life Pocket Gallery
at 536 gallery in Vancouver, Canada.

Pockets contain miniature biographies and testaments to our lives and
forgotten stories. The crumpled train ticket speaks of journeys taken,
the handful of confetti in your 'best' jacket of a wedding years before
or the telephone number on the back of a matchbook given by a someone
who's name and face is long forgotten. Files and folders are the
'digital pockets' of the internet artist. The hard-drive is an
autobiography in coded form. Dreams, ideas and waste lie hidden in these
cryptically labelled pockets that have become the maps and landscapes of
our 
virtual lives.

All entries that meet the submission guidelines will be included in the
exhibit. Each month the curators will select a number of works to
feature in the gallery that, in their opinion, are particularly strong
and/or original interpretations of the concept.
