CURATING, IMMATERIALITY, SYSTEMS
A conference on curating digital media
http://www.kurator.org
Tate Modern, London
4 June 2005, 10.00 ? 18.30
If the assumption is made that traditional curating follows a centralised
network model, then what is the position of the curator within a
distributed network model? This conference investigates this question in
relation to recent ideas around the OEimmateriality? of cultural
production and dynamic systems leading to contradictory tensions between
increased collectivity and curatorial control. It asks how curators
respond to new forms of self-organising and self-replicating systems,
databases, programming, net art, software art and generative media within
the wider system of (im)material culture? What new models of curatorial
practice are needed to take into account the transformative nature of
objects, and production processes that are collaborative, shared and
distributed?
The conference also introduces 'KURATOR' - a free software application
designed as a curating tool for source code that can be further modified by
users.
