[CC] "circulating contexts--curating media/net/art"
1 June - 31 October 2007

The curating of Internet-based art on the Internet is a multifaceted
communication-process between Internet-users with all kinds of different
backgrounds regarding the content. Along with the changing conditions of
production and reception of art on the Internet came new possibilities of
curation which deserve study. [CC] "circulating contexts--curating
media/net/art" is a series of experimental long-term research projects
hosted by the Vienna-based organisation CONT3XT.NET, investigating current
tendencies in the curation of (New) Media and Internet Art. For the
catalogue which will be presented in October 2007 in Vienna as well as
online, we currently seek contributions to the following sub-projects.

--------------------------------------------

[CC] "curating media/net/art--discussions"
1 June - 31 August 2007

In a first move participants are invited to contribute to the mailinglist
[CC] "curating media/net/art--discussions", a slightly moderated
discussion-list which will be run from 1 June to 31 August 2007. During this
period five common topics concerning the curation of (New) Media and
Internet Art will be the starting point for discussions, lead by the
participants. Excerpts of the contributions to the mailinglist will be
published in the catalogue.
