Curating, Immateriality, Systems
a conference on curating digital media
4 June 2005, Tate Modern, London
This conference investigates a range of positions currently occupied by curators in the context of digital media and immaterial production. 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 are the new models of curatorial practice that take into account the transformative nature of objects and processes and that are collaborative, shared and distributed?
