Guidelines for submitting sites to the
Digital Consciousness Internet Directory
To submit a site to a particular category, use the input box at the bottom of that category list.
Our editors will review it and add it at their discretion. For immediate and automatic linking,
enter the url of a site in our automated directory. Processing may take several seconds or more.
The directory editors select and rank sites based on artistic merit, popularity and technical
qualities, such as load time. Sites that have excessive advertisements or that use
plug-ins, java, flash, or script or code that may open pop up or other windows,
manipulate the location bar or otherwise interfere with the viewer's control,
are penalized. One should not submit a particular domain or any part of it more than once.
Many sites will fit more than one category. A robust site may, for example, contain
artist resources, such as image hosting, and a call for artists, as well as artist listings, a
search engine, and galleries. The single most appropriate category should be chosen.
Provision of concise and accurate titles and descriptions are important because they are cached by search engines.
The bot will pick up titles and descriptions in the meta tags so you will not have to retype or cut and paste them.
One should wait until a site is fully constructed to submit it because the editors assign each site a quality rating as
they work, and incomplete sites will fare poorly in this process.
The Internet Directory maintains and reviews quality sites in the specified categories
that may be of use to artist representatives, curators, dealers, gallery owners, critics,
printmakers, and others with an interest in contemporary art. Sites that promote the work of an individual
artist are generally not included in the Internet Directory. They are welcome in the
Artist section of the automated directory.
Individual artists are encouraged to register
directly with Digital Consciousness.
A character in a Steinbeck novel refered to business as curious ritualized thievery. Human
interactions should be less commercial in nature. Most commercial and promotional activity
can now be conducted through robots. Hence, there is no human salesman to talk to on the phone; there is, however, this
robot which displays these guidelines and which provides open honest services, many at no charge. Take care of business
with the robot, and may your human relations be about affection.
