Just came across this quote in a text by Josephine Bosma, which I think is
very straightforwardly put and apropos.
Shulgin and Goruniova explain it like this: łArt naturally resists
classification, but is nevertheless always classified and labeled when
presented at, for example, exhibitions and festivals. By using the familiar
interface of an online software database, Runme.org could play with the idea
of storing, classifying, labeling, collecting, while at the same time taking
advantage of the democratic possibilities of open databases ˛.
