This is the second year of the Digital Photography Exhibit. The 1994 exhibit is still "open" on the World Wide Web. This, the 1995, exhibit opened on the walls of the Peoria Art Guild (and at this WEB site) on April 21, 1995. The images remained hanging until May 20, 1995 in Peoria (the city) ; they will remain at this web site indefinitely. If you were unable to attend the opening in Peoria (the song:154K) perhaps you would like to see the movie:

This juried exhibition sought entrants worldwide from artists working in "digital photography." For the purposes of this show, "digital photography" was defined as two-dimensional work which "originated in a 'lens-imaging' device and was then brought to completion on a computer." This would include images originally captured by conventional (film) cameras, video cameras, still-video cameras, digital cameras, and 3D scanners.

This WEB exhibit includes links intended to extend the connection between the artist and the viewer of the art. The artists each submitted an "artist's statement" in which they were invited to write about their personal artistic goals and philosophies. Most artists also provided a self-portrait, either a conventional photograph or a computerized exploration of their visual self-image. More than half of the artists have included linked sound files in which they speak about their work; some sent non-verbal sound files they feel provide an additional dimension to their photographs in the exhibition. Several of the artists have their own WEB home pages, linked from this exhibit. An alphabetical index of all artists is provided.

There were 153 images entered in the competition. Entries came from 53 different artists from 24 states and from Australia. The jurors selected 30 images for the exhibition, from 26 different artists. The jurors were Howard Goldbaum (the exhibit curator), Associate Professor of Communication at Bradley University; and Mark Siprut, who teaches art at San Diego State University and is the author of The Photoshop Handbook, to be published by Random House. After the opening, the jurors select the recipients of the First, Second, and Third prize awards, totaling $500.
