Wow!
I am just so shocked that HTTP/Furtherfield are not included in this...
We have been getting about 17 visitors a day in our humble space for our
recent show - and our current direction of exploring arts relating to
media art ecologies is well under way. We're perfect for the remit
proposed. Oh well, next time perhaps.
Have a nice time ;-)

> Showing time-based art is very different to showing art objects. But
> how is art which uses the Internet, interactivity, social systems, or
> real-time computing different from video, live art, or performance?
> Rather than progressing along a smooth curve of development, art
> practices ‘other’ than those traditionally supported by the mainstream
> often seem to lurch along a rollercoaster-like path from avant-gardism
> to hyperbole, rejection to appropriation. New and emerging forms of
> art, such as online art, can go from being cutting edge to
> out-of-fashion shockingly quickly, without ever establishing the
> longevity necessary to garner a critical vocabulary and appreciation
> around the work. Which histories, whether from the field of art or
> technology, could inform the life-cycle of 'art after new media'?
> Which histories might allow for a more reflective approach to newly
> emergent forms of art, and could help viewers with short-attention
> spans to see beyond the hype?
>
> This one-day conference aims to share the knowledge of those involved
> in exhibition practices beyond the object of art, and asks, should we
> abandon ‘normal’ curating practices, or adapt these modes to integrate
> ‘the new’? This event draws experts and researchers from the fields of
> art making, curating, history and criticism to confront the slippery
> question of time -- including the timelines of production, of showing,
> and of participation.
> Speakers and workshop leaders include:
>
> -Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media and
> Performance Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York.
> -Gavin Wade, director of Eastside Projects in Birmingham.
> -Mark Nash, Head of Department of Curating Contemporary Art at the
> Royal College of Art (TBC).
> -Franz Thalmair, co-founder of CONT3XT.NET collaborative curatorial
> group in Vienna with Michael Kargl (aka carlos katastrofsky) and
> Sabine Hochrieser.
