CerCoN -1st Ceramics Competition on the Net
Artsource brought you the world's first Virtual Ceramics Exhibition, now
CLAYNET brings you the world's first Ceramics Competition on the Internet.
Entries are called for from potters and ceramic artists from all over the
world, whether on-line or not. The competition will be judged by submitted
images only, so slides and photos need to be of the best possible quality.
More and more ceramic artists are appearing with sites on the Web, so a
ceramics competition on the Web seems a natural extension of this
development. But not only are we seeing more artists on the Web, the Internet
is becoming more and more an integral part of many people's lives. Tomorrow
the Net will be as natural and accustomed to us as TV is today. We are also
seeing an emerging new class of Virtual Ceramics or CyberCeramics, 3D images
of quasi ceramic objects, which open new worlds for contemplation and
inspiration. While this is still relatively new, other exciting developments
are emerging, such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language), which I'm
sure will soon find applications in ceramics as well.
All entries to CerCoN will be displayed on CLAYNET. Selected entries will be
part of the CerCoN Competition Virtual Exhibition, which will run for an
unlimited time. Runners up will also get the opportunity to have their work
displayed for a limited time.
Looking forward to your entries,
Steven Goldate
