"Launch of Three Digital Artworks at x-space"
2000-06-08 until 2000-06-30
Institute of International Visual Arts
London, , UK

On 8 June 2000, the Institute of International Visual Arts (inIVA) will launch three digital artworks for x-space, a virtual gallery and online project space. For x-space, inIVA commissions emerging artists from diverse cultural backgrounds to create web-specific works, supported by web designers. Like many of the previous x-space artists, Katrine Hjelde, Una Walker and Freddie Robins are new to the internet as an artistic medium; the collaborative process, plus the artists ideas-based approach and their experience of working in other media, has led to the creation of some innovative digital artworks.

Katrine Hjelde: White

Hjelde is a painter and site-specific installation artist whose work looks at notions of architectural and conceptual space. White investigates the space between the exhibition of art in static, defined venues and the relative freedom of the internet.

Freddie Robins: Bugbear

Freddie Robins, a textile artist, explores the similarities between knitting, computers and the internet in this intriguing piece which invites the viewer to make their own 3D garments.

Una Walker: Metaphor is the key

Una Walkers previous work in installation considers military architecture, warfare and freedom of expression. Drawing on imagery used in 16th century war manuals, Metaphor is the key explores the overlap between these subjects, the internet and computer technology.

In 2000-2001, inIVA will be commissioning three artists to work on x-space projects; please note that the deadline for submissions from artists wishing to participate is 30 June 2000.
