EXHIBITION: After the Net (2.0) September 12 - October 23, 2009 Opening: September 25; 6:30 pm (PERFORMANCE 4NX by Aymeric Mansoux @ 7:00 pm) Peninsula Arts Gallery, University of Plymouth, UK.
After the Net (2.0) explores the paradoxical development of the Internet. As the current Web 2.0 hype begins to wane, the exhibition reflects upon the promises of technological progress, global networking and instantaneous communication. Presented artworks draw attention to key developments: from cybernetics to free and open source software, and social networking platforms. Reflected in the title, the exhibition makes explicit reference to the documentary film ‘The Net’ by Lutz Dammbeck (2003), and has three iterations: for Valencia (2008), Plymouth (2009) and Toluca (2010). The selection of artists is updated for each venue as a new version. ARTISTS: Roy Ascott | Wayne Clements | Geoff Cox | Lutz Dammbeck | Jeff Gompertz & Caen Botto (Universomente) | Rui Guerra | Linda Hilfling | Aymeric Mansoux & Marloes de Valk (GOTO10) | Graham Harwood, Richard Wright & Matsuko Yokokoji.
