*********************************************************
LA BIENNALE DE MONTR?AL 2000 -  CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
*********************************************************

La Biennale de MontrÃ?al 2000  will present ten works created for the Web

and centering on the theme of L'autre monde / Out of this World.

The exhibition will gather Web projects that establish an analogy
between cyberspace and that unknown, unfathomable space, the
other-world of spirits, of the dead, paradise or hell, however
designated by particular culture or belief.

We invite artists whose Web works relate to this theme to submit their
Web project (s). Only artworks specially conceived for the Web will be
taken into
account.Digitalized images, Web documents that promote an exhibition,
for
instance, will not be considered.

Link to the theme L'autre monde/Out of this world  is absolutely
essential. The exhibition is about space. Artists have established a
parallel
between cyberspace and the world of the after life because the nature of

cyberspace allows such comparisons:

   * continuity of the self
   * absence of the body
   * threshold  (from real to virtual)
   * infinite space
   * loss of spatial references

When submitting your work, please give the following information, before

20 January 2000:

   * a resume of the artist(s)
   * a description of the project
   * url
   * date of work

If the work is not completed now, please indicate expected date
of completion. Recent works are desired.

The selection will be made soon.

La Biennale de MontrÃ?al 2000 will take place from 28 September to 29
October 2000.

La Biennale is produced by Centre international d'art contemporain de
MontrÃ?al.
