Art(ists) On the Verge (AOV2) is an intensive, mentor-based fellowship program for 5 Minnesota-based, emerging artists or artist groups working experimentally at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture with a focus on network-based practices that are interactive and/or participatory.

For 2010, 5  fellows and their proposed projects have been selected:

• Arlene Birt, Visualizing Grocery Impacts
• Kyle Phillips, Empathetic Architecture
• Janaki Ranpura, The Egg Alley Cat
• Tyler Stefanich, Recent History
• Tectonic Industries, Perhaps this is the only way of knowing if anything was ever important to you.
