I think Geert is probably correct though - seems to me the art "establishment" aren't interested in internet/ digital art, though maybe they have a different view of it from us on here. The art world remains a mystery to me, so I may well be wrong. Thank god for Furtherfield, and I would love to

Well, happy to post polemics, it's a kind of a hobby. :^}. I think there has been a tendency for mainstream curators to approach more recent digitally-mediated works as if they were in effect a sort of hybrid old media, while still neglecting both historical and current "pure" digital media. This

I am one of those who isn't really waiting for curators to pick up digital art. The so-called art world is institutional, capitalistic, elitist - it thrives on money. In this article Geert says something very interesting to me : " We need to design new ‘stages’ where we can act out our collective

Hi Paul, Geert needs to be more specific and highlight the curators who are 'not' scared and who have been showing technical artwork such as Furtherifeld & others - his words are not grounded and are too absolute, they do not reflect reality... marc

Hi Paul, Dave, Annie & all, Regarding Geert's interview -- I actually agree with most of what he says. In fact, I tend to agree with most of his ideas and writings. I think as a group, we're in tune (usually coincidentally with his reflections) but, living through them within a grounded context,
