Until now - July 2008 - there are 500 different answers, represented by 438 artists, 473 artworks, 483 tags, a dozen of curators and still 999 exhibitons to come. Finally it is time to open the folksonomic experiment for public participation. From July 15 to September 15 netizens are invited to contribute link-collections, to re-contextualise the existing material and/or to experiment with tagging as a curatorial practice within the framework of TAGallery. If you are interested in participating please go to http://tagallery.cont3xt.net/?p=35 and read about how to submit an exhibition. Do not hesitate to contact us via cont3xt-at-cont3xt-dot-net if there are any questions remaining. ----- ----- ----- TAGallery: http://del.icio.us/TAGallery About TAGallery: http://cont3xt.net/curating/tagallery Exhibitions TAGallery: http://tagallery.cont3xt.net ----- ----- ----- SELECTED REVIEWS: "The curator of internet art is working in and within the same medium as the artist and she filters, circulates and creates context. CONT3XT.NET is a Vienna-based media collective who has created an alternative exhibitionspace for collaborative, transparent curating and cooperation based upon linking and tagging." (Annette Finnsdottir, hyperform net gallery) "(...) the innovation concept of establishing connections between artifacts pushes the boudary of contemporary art and holds much promise for artists, writers, developers, performers and others interested in wasy to distribute, connect, and share digital media produced for and presented on the new screen." (John F. Barber, ISBN:978-3-540-79485-1) "Ranging from thematic groupings to discussions on curating as tagging, the initial TAGallery shows are as diverse as the taggers themselves, which demonstrates the innovative character of the new media field, always pushing the boundaries of the contemporary art world." (Miguel Amado, Rhizome) "Cette collection propose un espace pour imaginer le récit de leur existence, mais aussi de leur disparition. Elle soulève évidemment la question de la conservation de ces oeuvres et ses enjeux, notamment leur inscription historique. Elle met en lumière le caractère éphémère du net.art et la nécessité de l'action humaine dans la conservation des oeuvres Web." (Emilie Boudrias, DOCAM) "Over the last several months CONT3XT.NET has become one of my favourite resources for monitoring the pulse of art and discourse on the net. (...) In my opinion this is one of the most well executed projects I've seen on the web in a while." (Greg J. Smith, Vague Terrain) ----- ----- ----- This is a newsletter by CONT3XT.NET (ZVR: 999765999, Vienna/Austria). If you do not want to receive information anymore please reply with "NO newsletter".
