[Nettime-bold] 3RD INTERNATIONAL BROWSER DAY



ANNOUNCEMENT

THE SOCIETY FOR OLD AND NEW MEDIA, DE BALIE, PARADISO AND NL DESIGN

PRESENT

3RD INTERNATIONAL BROWSERDAY - 19 MAY 2000
PARADISO AMSTERDAM


For the third consecutive year the Society for Old and New Media, presents
in co-operation with De Balie, Paradiso and NL Design the International
Browserday. The Browserday will take place at Paradiso, Amsterdam on 19
May.

The International Browserday is a competition challenging design students
to offer an appealing alternative for the existing browsers.

Students of international arts academies are invited to compete in the
Browser Competition with an original design. This year's theme is The End
of the Browsers. The integration of internet and television is almost a
fact. What does this mean for users? An extension of the possibilities to
be a producer of media oneself, or just a new way of consuming?

The thirty best designs will be presented by their makers in a 3 minute
knock out show. Showmaster is John Thackara, initiator and organiser of the
Doors of Perception conferences. On top of the presentations, international
interaction and multimedia designers will be invited to show their work.

A jury of professionals from the design, media and IT branche will
determine who gets the Browser Award. The award will be handed over
ceremoniously. Earlier winners were Joes Koppers for his 'Browser' (1998)
and Andrej Mrackovski for 'Enzyme' (1999).

Invitations were sent to a.o.: Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Utrecht School for
the Arts, Willem de Kooning Academy, Royal College of Art (UK), Academy of
Media Arts (Germany), Domus Academy (Italy), Media GN (NL), HFG Wuppertal
(Germany), Vienna Hogeschule fur Angenahme Kunst (Austria), University of
Art and Design UIAH (Finland).

The Society for Old and New Media is a medialab and institute for
communications technology which facilitates, supports and advises specific
participants of the information society.
