Announcing the recipients of Triple Canopy commissions for 2010 Triple Canopy is pleased to announce the recipients of our first round of commissions, initiated with an open call for proposals on March 1. Commissions were made in the five project areas listed below and will be published in the course of the next year. They are supported in part by a generous grant from the Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston. A second call for proposals will be announced in the coming months. In the meantime, we will continue to accept works in progress and proposals on equal footing, and on an ongoing basis. For more information, please consult our commissions page.

Anna Lundh An investigation into a "vision of a vision": Karl-Birger Blomdahl's unfinished computer opera, inspired by Hannes Alfvén's 1966 novel The Tale of the Big Computer. James Thomas & Meghan O'Hara On its fortieth anniversary, revisiting NASA's Tektite project, the sci-fi-inspired underwater habitat that provided America with a fleeting vision of technologically oriented utopia. Matt Wolf "What happened to Jason?" An inquiry into the life of Jason Holliday, the gay black prostitute featured in Shirley Clarke's 1967 film Portrait of Jason. Internet as Material Alyssa Pheobus & Murad Khan A study of the iconography of Pakistani and American passports and of the precarious relationship between personal identification, citizenry, and the state. Eve Sussman Whiteonwhite, a dual-stream thriller randomized in real time; an experimental film noir. Thinking Through Images Mary Walling Blackburn & Amy Huber From Joseph O'Donnell's photographs of the wreckage of Nagasaki to Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, exploring the relationships between violence, representation, and evolving technologies of vision. New Media Reporting Project Claire Barliant Revisiting Mankato, in 1862 the site of the largest mass execution in US history, and questioning the value of manufactured memory. New Programming Ilana Halperin, Karen Holmberg & Andrew Patricio Hand-Held Lava, a performative lecture on "volcanic field work" that mines the intersection of archaeology, geology, and visual art. Triple Canopy works collectively with writers, artists, researchers and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage them, both online and in the world at large. These investigations are realized in an online magazine as well as in public programs and print publications encompassing various fields and locales. We aim to present work and advance ideas informed by a multitude of disciplines and perspectives, and to disseminate them among a broad and diverse audience. Triple Canopy, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, was founded in late 2007; our first issue was published on March 17, 2008. Triple Canopy gratefully acknowledges The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston, and the Buddy Taub Foundation, as well as the many individuals and in-kind contributors who have generously given their support.
