This is the second in a three-part series that features presentations by artists awarded grants through Rhizome's Commissions Program. Founded in 2001 to support artists working with technology, the Rhizome Commissions Program has awarded fifty-four commissions to date. Projects realized through the Program represent some of the forward-thinking and innovative works of media and Internet-based art. In this evening's program, the artists will discuss their commissioned projects and larger bodies of work.
