neonascent

I have received a College of Fine Arts’ Students’ Association grant with which to setup an online emergent art gallery. Here’s a snip from my proposal to give you an idea of what it is:

The aim of the project is to set up an online gallery/exhibition platform for emerging digital and interactive artworks. It is intended to act as a showcase for such works, as well as providing a forum for related discussion. The name “neonascent” has been chosen for the gallery, being both a synonym for “newborn” – sympathetic to the type of artwork to be featured – and “neon ascent” – a toung-in-cheek evocation of glam sci-fi.

…Promotion will involve an email campaign directed at Fine arts mailing lists and academic staff, postering appropriate areas, and finally holding a quasi-opening for the gallery and its exhibitions.

Of course the opening is essential for any gallery, regardless of whether it is online or not!

I’ve created a photoset on Flickr for related images, but at the moment it’s just got me hamming it up for a faux-official giant cheque giving ceremony.
