2006 Commissions

Eleven projects were awarded grants for the 2005-06 cycle; ten were selected by a panel of jurors, and one by the Rhizome Community through secure web-based ballots. Each one pushes formal and conceptual boundaries of works made with the Internet or networked technology, and present innovative models of new media art that are sure to have a wide and lasting resonance.

These artworks were presented at the New Museum Store on October 24, 2006.
