Ubermorgen,

Excellent project!

This may be a silly question, but can you tell me more about why this is Artbase material? Why do you consider Voteauction.com to be an example of an online aesthetic practice? 

Thanks!

Ubermorgen,

hi j

Excellent project!

thx;

This may be a silly question, but can you tell me more about why this is Artbase material? Why do you consider Voteauction.com to be an example of an online aesthetic practice? 

actually i should not answer that, cause if its not clear&logic for rhizome then you just better leave it out... you claim to be part of the curators of this new stuff; so identify the quality or someone else will...

... its plain and pure euro-us MEDIA HACKING at its best, beautiful and hard, sexy and pervert.. just the way we love it and do it..,

actually we see it as the first universal '""digital legal art"" example.. more to follow.. etoy is a nice copy-cat, doing their now active attack vs eToys; hehehe... ;)

[V]ote-auction // ubermorgen / james baumgartner / RTMark // has laid the grounds for this new and strong movement.. 

greeetZZZ

Don't be offended.

I see the quality here...no need to offend my intelligence either. 

I know exactly where the Voteauction guys are coming from. 

But it is my job to get the facts right, I would hope you would understand. 

Thanks for writing and of course I will approve your entry.

Subject: ArtBase--Congratulations!

Hi hans,

Congratulations! Your artwork, [V]ote-auction, has been accepted for inclusion in the Rhizome ArtBase. 

The next step is to follow the URL at the bottom of this page to provide information about your artwork, upload your statement and bio, etc.

*Please note that if you do not follow this link and complete this process, your work will not be included.* 

But before you do, please prepare your bio or CV and a statement about the work so you can copy and paste them into a web-based form.

And please also give some thought as to whether you want your work to be included as a linked object or a cloned object.

Linking gives users the ability to find your work in the Rhizome ArtBase and access your work via a link. Linked objects include a thumbnail image, an artist's statement and bio, a description and other metadata such as title and keywords. We do not store copies of linked objects on our servers-you remain responsible for the preservation of your work.

Cloning is the best way to ensure that your work is preserved for the future. Cloned objects include an archival copy of your artwork that is stored on our servers. Many Internet art projects evolve over time or disappear. The cloned version serves as a snapshot of the artwork as it existed when it was archived. 

Please go to this URL:

Subject: Rhizome ArtBase Submission Received--[V]ote-auction 

Hi hans,

Thanks for adding your artwork, [V]ote-auction, to the Rhizome ArtBase as a linked object. We will now review the information you've entered and revise it if necessary. We will send you an email to let you know when your art object goes live. 

Please find a copy of your Rhizome ArtBase Linked Object Agreement below. Save a copy of this email or print it out for your records. 

+ + +

RHIZOME ARTBASE LINKED OBJECT AGREEMENT

This agreement sets out the terms and conditions by which you agree to allow us to include "[V]ote-auction" ("your artwork") in the Rhizome ArtBase as a linked object.

1. General Information

The Rhizome ArtBase is an online archive of net art projects that is assembled and maintained by Rhizome.org, a nonprofit organization based in New York City. The goals of the ArtBase are to preserve net art for the future and to provide access to net art in a context of relevant information and critical discourse.

The ArtBase includes two main types of artworks: cloned objects and linked objects. Cloned objects consist of information about an artwork and an archival copy of the work.

Linked objects include information about an artwork ("metadata"), such as the artist's name, the date the project was created, the project's title, original URL, keywords, technologies used, an artist's statement and a thumbnail image. Artists who submit artworks as linked objects provide us with such metadata, which we may then edit to ensure completeness, consistency and accuracy. To access the artwork itself, users click on an "Original URL" link that leads to another server. 

You have submitted your artwork as a linked object. 

2. Your Rights

Even though you submit metadata about your artwork to Rhizome.org for inclusion in the ArtBase, and execute this agreement, you retain all rights in your artwork.

By including metadata about your artwork in the ArtBase, you are not precluded from any form of exhibition, online or offline. Neither of us will seek or be entitled to any compensation from the other by reason of Rhizome.org including metadata about your artwork in the ArtBase or by our linking to your artwork.

You may use the fact that your artwork has been included in the ArtBase on your resume or curriculum vitae, or to promote your artwork in other ways. You may also link to the ArtBase or to the metadata about your artwork in the ArtBase.

If you ask us to remove the metadata about your artwork from the ArtBase, we will endeavor to do so within 60 days of receipt of your request. Requests may be sent via email to artbase@rhizome.org. Note: removing the metadata about your artwork means removing it from the ArtBase web site. We may not be able to remove metadata from backup copies of the web site in archival storage. 

If you decide that you want us to include your artwork as a cloned object, you may request that we do so by sending an email to artbase@rhizome.org. Due to limited resources, we may not be able to comply with all such requests.

3. Our Rights

You grant Rhizome.org the right to link to your artwork and to use your name, the title of your artwork, and all other metadata about your artwork that you submit to us, including the thumbnail image of or taken from your artwork, both on the Rhizome.org web site and elsewhere for promotional and fundraising purposes.

You grant Rhizome.org the rights to create a thumbnail image of or from your artwork if you either do not provide one or if the thumbnail image you provide does not meet our standards, and to include such image in the ArtBase.

We reserve the right to make changes to the metadata you provide about your artwork for the purposes of completeness, consistency and accuracy. 

We reserve the right to remove the metadata about your artwork from the ArtBase at any time for good reason. Good reason includes, but is not limited to, claims that we may have some legal responsibility for linking to your artwork if it infringes the rights of third parties, is libelous or is defamatory. If we remove the metadata about your artwork from the ArtBase, we will attempt to notify you by sending an email to the email address you provide.

4. Your Obligations

You agree to keep the contact information in your member record on the Rhizome.org web site up-to-date and accurate. 

You agree to notify us of any changes to the URL at which your artwork is available so that we can keep the Original URL field up-to-date. Such notice shall be sent via email to artbase@rhizome.org. 

5. Our Obligations

We agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that the metadata that you provide about your artwork remains secure and accessible for the future by providing high web server availability and redundant backups. We also intend, but are not obligated, to provide access to obsolete software. 

If Rhizome.org is no longer able to maintain the ArtBase, we will endeavor to find a trusted third party to take on and maintain the ArtBase. At that or any other time you may ask to remove the metadata about your artwork from the ArtBase.

We agree to notify you if we remove the link and any metadata that you have supplied from the ArtBase in accordance with Section 3 above. 

6. Representations; Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability 

You represent that the thumbnail image and the other metadata that you provide to us do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any other person, that you have the rights to authorize Rhizome.org to include such metadata in the ArtBase and to link to your artwork and that you are authorized to enter into this agreement. 

We represent that we are authorized to enter into this agreement, and we disclaim all other representations and warranties, express or implied.. 

Neither Rhizome.org nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, information providers or licensors ("Affiliates") represent or warrant that the ArtBase will be available or will be uninterrupted or error free, or that access to the ArtBase will be secure, or that information contained in the ArtBase will be accurate.

In no event will Rhizome.org, or any of its Affiliates be liable to you for any direct or other damages arising out of our linking to your artwork, this agreement or the ArtBase.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Rhizome.org and its Affiliates from and against all third-party claims and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of our including metadata about your artwork in the ArtBase, including, but not limited to, any breach of any of your representations.

We agree to defend, indemnify and hold you harmless against all third- party claims and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of the ArtBase (other than claims and expenses arising out of any breach of your representations), including, but not limited to, any breach of any of our representations.

8. Survival

Sections 7 and 9 and this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9. Miscellaneous

This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Rhizome.org and you and may only be amended in writing by mutual agreement. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. 

Agreed and accepted by:

hi hans-i

hab rtmark eine reply geschickt, so richtig cheesy, ich weiss auch nicht ob er nicht versteht oder nicht will.

egal.

dafuer hab ich am basis-problem gearbeitet: ich hab meta-tags (waren 0 drinnen) in die index seite von voteauction eingebaut, dann haben wir auch die moeglichkeit fuer besseres listing. das ist ja wirklich nicht rtmarks problem.
und submitted hab ich auch wieder etwas, werd aber noch nachfassen.

ich denke wir sollten sowieso einen tag
anstetzen an dem wir unsere listings von unseren sites ueberpruefen und gegebenenfalls verbessern.

best
love
liz
