Call for entries: Electrohype 2010 – CLOSED
 
– the sixth biennial for computer based and technological art
Ystad Art Museum – November 27nd 2010 – January 30th 2011
 
The call for entries for Electrohype 2010 is now closed. The process of selecting works for the exhibition will be done during the months of June.  
Electrohype is proud to announce that we are celebrating ten years as an organization and at the same time organizing the sixth biennial for computer based and technological art. This year the exhibition will be shown in Ystads Art Museum (Ystads konstmuseum) a well renowned art museum located 60 km south of Malmo. The city of Ystad is located close to the sea and at the same time part of the scenic south Swedish countryside. The art museum has a long tradition of combining traditional art, from its collections, with experimental art and music from the contemporary art scene, both local and international.  
This year’s biennial will be shown on a smaller exhibition surface than the previous biennial in 2008, we will therefore focus on smaller installations and objects. So please keep in mind that we do not have space for installations requiring large floor space.  
The exhibition will be presented in the art museums main gallery but there will also be a possibility to integrate smaller works in the galleries housing the museum collection.  
Electrohype 2010 will be the sixth biennial for computer based and technological art in Sweden. The biennial is also the largest reoccurring event for electronic art in the Nordic region. The previous Electrohype exhibitions in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 was shown in Malmö and Lund.  
The 2010 biennial will present works by 8 – 10 artists or artist groups. To give the exhibition a good and broad perspective we are looking for both Nordic and International artists.
