>The 2nd Annual Digital Art Exhibition
>September 12 - October 10, 1999
>in the Computer Gallery of the
>New York Hall of Science (NYHOS)
>Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, Queens, NY
>In late October, the show will move to
>the Brooks Gallery at The Cooper Union
>8th Street at Astor place, Manhattan
>http://www.asci.org/Digital99

> >From the cool, sophisticated design sensibilities of Abigail Doan's -
>Hypatia II - to the hot, 3-D intensity of Marjan Moghaddam's - Adoration of
>PacMan - and Jun-Ho Lee's introspective twist on Cartier Bresson's camera
>seizing just the correct moment in time (in this case "memory") - Digital99
>is a brief tour de force of digital hardware and software as expressive
>tools in the hands of imagination.
>
>ASCI creates this Open Competition and Exhibition as a way to find new
>talent and give their work visibility both in reality and online.  Probably
>20,000 children and families will see the work of this year's eight winners
>in the Computer Gallery at the New York Hall of Science and then in the
>Brook Gallery at The Cooper Union, which provides a Manhattan venue closer
>to the SoHo art scene.
>
>Seventy-five artists from around the world entered this Competition and
>eight winners in two categories (Digital Print and Web-Art) were selected.
>Last year's judge, Tim Druckrey, brought his vast experience in new media
>to the selection process. That exhibition can still be viewed at -
>http://www.asci.org/Digital98. This year, Therese Mulligan, Curator of
>Photography at the George Eastman House (http://www.geh.org) in Rochester,
>New York, was our juror. Although her experience with art websites was
>admittedly limited, the George Eastman House was the first museum in this
>country to collect a digital print for their collection. Therese said she
>surprised herself at how much she enjoyed the interactivity of reviewing
>the web-art entries and you can read more about her thoughts on the
>selection process in her Juror's Statement.
>
>We invite you to see the exhibition online at http://www.asci.org/Digital99
>(includes image, Artist Statement, bio and contact information)
