Call To Artists:   

The Digital Pocket Gallery: Net Artists respond to their Hard Drives...

April 1st to August 31st 2002
 

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.    

We invite you to empty your digital pockets for inspection (whether real

or fictitious) for an online exhibition at  
http://www.ikatun.com/digitalpocketgallery/
