Rhizome 2009 Commissions
In 2009, Rhizome awarded nine emerging artists. Seven grants were determined by jury and two were selected by Rhizome's membership through an open, online vote.
See here for the artists commissioned by Rhizome in 2009.
In 2009, the scope of the commissions expanded from strictly Internet-based art to a broad range of forms and practices engaged with media. With this expanded format, commissioned works will take the final form of online works, performance, video, installation and sound art.
