The Award Exhibition will take place Friday, May 17th at 9:06 PM following Andrew Benson’s site-specific projections in the courtyard of the Phoenix Hotel during the ArtSlant Afterparty at ArtPadSF. Top submissions to the Award contest will be projected onto the wall adjacent to the Phoenix Hotel (shown above) and viewable in virtual exhibition on ArtSlant.com following the installation. We will also be putting top submissions throughout the submission period on our tumblr. An error 415 is the HTTP response status code for an unsupported media type; the award refers to new media practices which have yet to be fully supported by the art establishment. We are proud to present the first iteration of this award in the tech-savvy Bay Area.
