Art on the Net 2002
"9.11"
Now Open to Entries

Since 1995, Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, Tokyo (MCMOGATK), has been
sponsoring the world's first Internet art and web contents open competition,
"Art on the Net," exploring the potentials of the Internet as a medium of
art. Twenty countries were represented in the "Art on the Net 2001 --
Post-Cagian Interactive Sounds,"  and the prizes went to Estonian and
Netherlandish artists. In the past seven years since its first show, "Art on
the Net 1995," over 600 entries have been submitted and artists from 40
countries have participated. Net art entries in each show reflected the
cutting-edge technology of that time. We believe it has been presenting a
completely new status of art created at the the crossroads of art history,
technology and the society.

The theme of the 8th "Art on the Net 2002" is "9.11." We again are open to
any entries that are experimental, that have power to turn around the
conventional concepts of art. This year, we'll take the system of election
by mutual vote --- for further details, please read our "indroductions" on
our web.

Acceptance of the entries, jurying, and exibition are all done on the
Internet. The deadline for the entry is September 20, 2002. For further
information and application procedure, please visit our website:

We look forward to your entries.
