Rhizome Commissions '08

Part of New Silent
 
Discussions, New Media

The last 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 most 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.

This event features Annie Abrahams, Nadia Anderson, Fritz Donnelly, John Craig Freeman, Will Pappenheimer, Lee Walton, Marek Walczak, and Martin Wattenberg.
