Am not sure - I'd say some points in the chart leading to today are the
Salon des Refuses, Dada, and MailArt.
Another interesting experiment is the MySpace investgation that I launched
this week. Of course, people are revealing the issues quite well, such as
intellectual property, the issues of application/selection, certain aspects
of formalism, the nature of curation when there are technically no
constraints to who can be a curator, curating in a commodified space, and so
on.
As someone who is eternally curious about what online culture can tell us
abotu how cultule reconfigures itself, I look at the "Summer of MySpace"
exhibition as a real learning experience.
I hope that this was not too far off topic.
