Casa das Rosas <rosas37@dialdata.com.br> WEB ART CONTEST - WINNERS http://www.dialdata.com.br/casadasrosas/ 1 - HQX - 156 by Jodi (Holand) http://www.jodi.org/100/hqx 2 - LandsBeyond by Thiago Celso Reeks (Brazil) http://www.distopia.com/LandsBeyond 3 - My Boyfriend Came Back From The War by Olia Lialina (Russia) http://www.design.ru/olialia/war/ jury: Artur Lescher Chris Locke Maria Ercilia Rachel Greene Rejane Spitz Sara Diamond comments from Rachel Greene: I very much liked the way Lands Beyond explored idioms of urban web space, and the simple language of buildings and construction. LANDS BEYOND also references a Borges story about a city wich exists in a version of an Encyclopedia(but not in other versions). Its a very nice reference , and appropiate, in particular, for an internet that hosts so many virtual communities. There was much delicacy in organization and detail. And a nice sense of color. Finally, what I will remember most about this project is that if provided a cultural space, a virtual city, but no sense of home. Of the other projects I enjoyed seeing Teo Spiller's Tibet for the first time. It's a thougtful piece but not so exciting. Also, ROVE was really nice-committed to a simple idea - suggestive about interaction, trace , and physics. I gave 7s to Lialinas 2 pieces and to JODI. It is disappointing, though that I knew all of these works already - they are pehaps too wellknown and celebrated for me to feel they merit so much money. I suggest next time Casa das Rosas either requires that new works is submitted, or offers less money to a greater number of projects.
