The advent of the Internet and digitization of the image has brought about what appears to be a debatable democratization of the medium of photography. The “WWW” has expanded what images we experience and the way we experience them. It changed the avenues for the embodiment, dissemination and consumption of images, opening new channels for expression, participation and exchange.

The form and function of more traditional photography gatekeepers such as curators, book editors and publishers, museums and galleries, has been challenged by websites/galleries, blogs, and online publications as open platforms. As a result a serious viewer is now required to look harder and broader through the maze of images online.

The editors of VJIC are accepting complete PORTFOLIO PROPOSALS for Issue #4 (to be published September 2013) that are:

1. Inspired by the Internet (e.g. found photography, gifs, video, online archives, Internet cameras, Google and other search engines, social media, etc.)

The proposal has to include:

1. a 100 word description of the project

2. a LINK to where it is accessible online (a blog, website, social media, tumblr, flickr etc.). Please, do not send attachments (no pdfs or jpegs).
