All around a fine evening. It was a bit of a set-up between artists of the older generation (T.Whid, the McCoys; artists who took part in &8216;net art 1.0&8217;) and artists of a younger generation (Petra Cortright, Damon Zucconi) with Tom Moody thrown in to prove that you can be over 30 and also a member of a surfing club.

While some prepare for last rights, others will contact voodoo priests and sharpen.http://www.mtaa.net/mtaaRR/news/mriver/_when_push_comes_to_shove.html Net Art 2.5 private beta- June 4, 2008 Apropos of my participation in the Net Aesthetics 2.0 panel with Rhizome this Friday, I typed out some words on why I think it&8217;s a bad idea to version art periods. It&8217;s just a couple paragraphs. Hopefully at the panel I&8217;ll be able to flesh out my thoughts off-the-cuff. Please don&8217;t version art periods&8230; Oh, alright. I&8217;ve resigned myself to using the term &8220;Net Art 2.0&8221; to refer to the current state of net art. But before I completely give in, I need to.http://www.mtaa.net/mtaaRR/news/twhid/net_art_2_5_private_beta.html Net Aesthetics 2.0- June 3, 2008 T.Whid (Tim Whidden) of MTAA is on this panel Friday. The upcoming program in Rhizome&8217;s New Silent Series at the New Museum, Net Aesthetics 2.0, will examine the state of contemporary art engaged with internet art. Convening leading artists, critics and curators, this panel will explore salient topics such as the relationship of artists emerging now to the first generation of internet art, the correspondence between online art and offline exhibition (as well as the phenomenon of...http://www.mtaa.net/mtaaRR/news/twhid/net_aesthetics_2_0.html Heeeeeeeeey Bo Diddley- June 2, 2008 You&8217;re dead at 79. :(http://www.mtaa.net/mtaaRR/news/twhid/heeeeeeeeey_bo_diddley.html |
