What we expect from the artworks?

The artworks should deal with the topics of electronic tribes and should contribute to test new ways of reaching electronic tribes, the way the art discourse is altered in this context, and the difference an artwork can make in an electronic tribe. The artwork should contribute to exploring new perspectives on communicating with audiences and bringing electronic communities a deeper understanding of the new social structures engaged.

The artworks should be designed to work and be primarily exhibited in the virtual space, in electronic communities. They have to be interactive and may take the form of/include video, installations, photography, performative acts, text, augmented reality without being limited to these forms and media.

We will provide a production budget of 500-1000 EUR per artwork. The exact budget of the artwork will be agreed upon once the art project concept and format will be finalized.
