VOCENTO and ARCO announce a Call of Proposals to provide art galleries with web solutions in Internet adapted to their needs responding to the concept WEB 2.0.

Since its origins Internet has changed the face of the art scene, and this is true both from the viewpoint of creativity in the context of the Internet based art, often termed net-art, as well as its use by galleries, generating a forceful online presence of art.

 
Art galleries are addressing the challenge to develop tools to make themselves and art more versatile, modern and effective in the emerging scene of the Web 2.0 concept.

 
Web 2.0 should be optimised both for the needs in the specific working environment and the needs of the target public.

 
VOCENTO and ARCO announce this call for proposals to develop an innovative and experimental online platform and effective tool to foster and stimulate the presence, exhibition, communication and management of art on the Internet.


The prize money for the winning entry is 15,000 euros for the development of a tool or web environment which can optimize the presence of art galleries in Internet. Once designed, such web environment or tool will be made available free of charge to all galleries participating at ARCO for implementation in their own Internet spaces.

 

This Call of Proposals wishes to encourage specific research into the Internet needs of art galleries and to provide them with suitable solutions addressing these needs. The solutions will notably benefit communication between art and society.

 
This Call of Proposals aims not only to enable the development of a powerful tool or web environment serving art, but also to promote the development of a creative, striking and original environment appropriate to its target, ART, which can express the sensibility of both creators and a dynamic public eager for creative environments.

 
Therefore, this Call of Proposals is not only a search for efficiency but also for creativity, originality and innovation. A proposal made in collaboration between computer and software engineers and artists reflecting the special sensibility of art, and art’s ability to surprise.



ARTE 2.0 is a Call of Proposals open to participants anywhere in the world whose goal is to find and develop the most suitable, optimum and creative proposal for promoting the presence of art galleries in Internet. The organization has made available a web page for the Call of Proposals at  www.VOCENTO.com/castellano/accion-cultural/arte-web.html,  <http://www.arteweb.VOCENTO.com> where the conditions and registration forms can be downloaded.
 

Proposals will be assessed by an international jury, made up of two experts in art new media art (Joasia Krysa of KURATOR/UoP, UK and Santiago Ortiz, artist, moebio.com) and a representative of VOCENTO, meeting at the ARCO-IFEMA offices on Friday 15th February 2008. After deliberating, it will announce the winner on Saturday 16th February 2008. The winner shall realise his/her proposal in a maximum period of six months, making it available to the art galleries free of charge from the date the delivery period expires.
