In 2009, Rhizome will award seven commissions to emerging artists with amounts ranging from 3000-$5000. This year, the scope of the commissions has been expanded from strictly Internet-based art to the broad range of forms and practices that fall under the category of new media art. This includes projects that creatively engage new and networked technologies or reflect on the impact of these tools and media. With this expanded format, commissioned works can take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation or sound art.
Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web or networked devices.

The 2009 commissions jury includes Barbara London, Associate Curator of Media Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Oliver Laric, Berlin-based artist and creator of the arts-centered website VVORK.com; Emma McRae, co-curator of the Melbourne-based arts festival Experimenta; and Rick Rinehart, Digital Media Director & Adjunct Curator at the Berkeley Art Museum. This jury will be joined by Rhizome’s curatorial fellow Luis Silva and executive director Lauren Cornell.
