Description |
||||
This seminar focuses on curatorial strategies in the online environment, and the way they respond to the hyper-massification of the web by interfering with the assumptions and mechanisms of the platforms, interfaces and services of today’s network. Considering that the web has progressively become dominated by the logic of commerce and the relationship between the online and offline spheres have become increasingly blurred yet entangled, the seminar aims to explore the following questions: While exploring these questions through presentations by artists, curators and researchers (Rebecca Birch & Rob Smith of Field Broadcast, Constant Dullaart & Tereza Havlíková of distance.garden, Sebastian Schmieg of Gallery.Delivery, and researchers Annet Dekker, Marialaura Ghidini and Gaia Tedone), the seminar will also open up a discussion about the legacy of such projects, and the methods curators may adopt for researching and archiving work that takes place in the ever-changing landscape of the web. Discussions will accompany the presentations, and a collaborative exercise will conclude the seminar. The seminar is open to practitioners, researchers and students with an interest in digital curation and digital culture. The seminar is organised by curating.online in partnership with the Exhibition Research Lab (ERL) at Liverpool John Moores University – Liverpool, UK.
