Hi Sarah & all,
>In the meantime, perhaps someone from http can tell us how the
opening of Do It With Others (Open Curation) went last night? I am
curious about this model of exhibition making - where subscribers have
a say (a bit like fans being asked to program the next All Tomorrow's
Parties festival?) - does collaborative filtering create interesting
results?
Thank you for offering us the space to put across a context regarding
Furtherfield's/HTTP's latest project 'DIWO'. Some on here may already
know of the opening that was last night and, I know a few were actually
present as well.
It just so happens that I was writing a report about it for the
Netbehaviour list. So pending my own recovery rate after celebrations
last night. I will attempt to share some of the principles, concepts,
ideas and approaches of where we are coming from in respect of the
processes and experiences of the curation, collaboration, and the
exhibiting of such works etc...
In the meantime, if there any questions about it, feel free ask :-)
Here is link to the HTTP page/press release:
