exhibitions in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006.

The exhibition will for the second time take place at Malmö Konsthall (also
2004). The duration of the biennial will be from mid November 2008 to
beginning of January 2009. Malmö Konsthall was opened in 1975 and is one
Europe's largest and most flexible exhibition halls for contemporary art.
The annual number of visitors are approximately 200 000.

The exhibition will present works by 5 – 8 artists or artist groups. To give
the exhibition a broad perspective we are looking for Nordic as well as
international artists.

Exhibition opening mid November 2008
Exhibition closing beginning of January 2009
Exact date will soon be announced.

Please feel free to re-distribute this call.

What kind of art are we looking for? Electrohype has since the start in 1999
focused on what we choose to call computer based art. Art that runs of
computers and utilizes the capacity of the computer to mix various media,
allow interaction with the audience, or machines interacting with each
others etc. in other words art that can not be transferred to "traditional"
linear media. This might seem as a narrow approach but we have discovered
that it gives us a better focus on a genre that in no way is narrow.

We are not looking for "straight" video art (even if it is edited on a
computer) or still images rendered on computers and other material that
refers to more "traditional" media forms. Forms were the traditional tools
have been replaced with computers and software.

Curators for the biennial are Anna Kindvall and Lars Gustav Midbøe.

*NOTE:* Please do NOT send documentation material as attachments via* *e-mail.
Put your material online and send us the download URL or ftp address, or
send us a CD or similar in the mail. Do NOT send 8 pages CVs and only
complement with enclosures if it is necessary.
Please read the form and follow the guidelines. We receive a large amount of
proposals and all of them are reviewed closely. To be able to do this we ask
you to follow the structure in the application form and the topics mentioned
above.


*Financial*
Due to a limited budget we will encourage everyone submitting material to
look for possibilities for local funding to help cover costs for transport,
travel and rent of technical equipment. This is not a requirement but a
request; external funding can help us during the financial planning. The
quality of the artwork will always be the determining element.

Electrohype covers all expenses, within reasonable limits, and also pays an
artist honorarium to participating artists. Electrohype does not support
development and production of unfinished artworks.

In previous exhibitions we have managed to keep a high level both in
artistic content and exhibition design, even on a modest budget. It is
therefore very important for us to avoid unpleasant surprises, so please
keep this in mind when filling out the various posts in the form, especially
when it comes to technical requirements, transport weight etc.
We are looking forward to see new and interesting works of art.


Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need additional
information

Best regards from the Electrohype team,
Anna Kindvall and Lars Gustav Midboe
