What exactly constitutes an artwork - the intent of the artist, the materials used in the production, the mode of presentation, the experience of the viewer?
Art Machine aims to explore these notions by staging an exhibition where artistic intent, content, production materials and final presentation of an artwork operate independently of each other and yet combine to create an art experience.
Art Machine is an exploration into the boundary between digital art, code-art and new media installation. Art Machine will pit locally coded digital art machines against text, images, video and sound submitted by YOU via Art Machine's 24/7 online submission system - artmachine.tv.
Art Machine is accepting submissions of text, image, video and sound via Art Machine's 24/7 online submission system - artmachine.tv.
