Dear list,
Barbara London actually did three important web projects, one in Japan, one
in Russia and the other (mentioned by Packer) in China. All three
demonstrated a curatorial strategy, that revealed new information, openly.
These projects are relatively unrecognized by the media or art community.
It might also be interesting to some younger curators to know about the
project 'Siberian Deal' (1995) which has been archived at the Wayback
Machine (although some functionality is lost):

l.htm
This project was a collaboration between Eva Wohlgemuth (artist, Vienna) and
myself (curator), each taking on the important roles of the conceptual and
practical organization for the project.
It's a pre-blog, pre-research (as it is called today) information
sharing/location-based project. It was supported by Public Netbase, Vienna,
a now extinct, but important center for international internet culture in
the 90s, which offered us free web hosting. It was a wonderful era of open
source information sharing. Many of us continue this practice today.
Cheers, Kathy

Curatorial Practice
To add some history to curatorial research blogging (perhaps you know about
this already), MoMA media curator Barbara London wrote a pre-blog research
blog in 1997: Stir Fry, a Video Curator's Dispatches on China, which is
archived on adaweb.
