The Graphite Art Gallery exhibition will take place at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand from the 29th November to 3rd December 2005.

Graphite 2005 Digital Art Gallery is looking for digitally based works that explore the nature of creative practice, especially works that deal with the dialectic notions of local/global, digital/physical, internal/external, the body/the machine, or other technologically framed dialectic pairings that contain a digital, computer, or electronic component within the process of creation. These topics may be expressed in the following types of work:

• 2D and 3D fine art
• Animation or sculpture
• Interactive or online works
• Small-scale installations displayable in light environments without the need for dedicated darkened rooms

NOTE: All pieces for Graphite 2005 Digital Art Gallery must be original work, completed after June 2004.

Submission date deadline: 15th August 2005
