Like the film, the exhibition explores systems of technological control and presents works that draw attention to historical shifts of network power: from cybernetics to free and open source software, and in turn to social networking platforms. Featuring: **Caen Botto**, **Wayne Clements**, **Geoff Cox** (for project.arnolfini), **Lutz Dammbeck**, **Jeff Gompertz**, **Rui Guerra**, **Linda Hilfling**, **Chun Lee**, **Aymeric Mansoux** and **Marloes de Valk** (GOTO10), **José Antonio Orts**, and artists selected from openKURATOR: **Burak Arikan**, **Bestiario**, **Carlos Katastrofsky**, **Abe Linkoln**, **Jimpunk and Mrtamale**, **Joseph Nechvatal**, **Cyril de Vroom** and **Jos Wabeke**. → More information [[http://www.observatori.com/pages/ob.php?anim=1&lang=en&pid=1:Observatori 2008]] → Images [[http://platforma.kurator.org/assets/images/after_the_net/:After the Net]] </div> <div class="news"> <b>#4 openKURATOR call announcement: After The Net, Valencia 5-29 June 2008 </b> For [[http://www.observatori.com/pages/ob.php?anim=1&lang=en&pid=1:After the Net]] exhibition, **Observatori: 9th Festival Internacional de Investigación Artística de Valenci**, [[http://open.kurator.org:openKURATOR]] presents a selection of works from an open call: [[http://www.projectinfomania.com/hidden:Infomania]] by Cyril de Vroom & Jos Wabeke (2008), [[http://www.bestiario.org/_proyectos/hipercontrol/:Hipercontrol^3]] by Bestiario (2007), [[http://transition.turbulence.org/Works/mypocket/:Mypocket]] by Burak Arikan (2008), [[http://aqua.subnet.at/carlos/temp/poor/:Netart for poor people]] by Carlos Katastrofsky (2006), [[http://triptych.tv:Triptych.tv]] by Abe Linkoln, Jimpunk, Mrtamale (2008), [[http://mediamogul.seas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Nechvatal/Nechvatal-Joseph_Viral-Syphony_2007.mp3:Viral Symph0ny]] by Joseph Nechvatal (2007). → More information, jury statement and to view projects [[http://open.kurator.org/:openKURATOR]] </div> <div class="news"> <b>#5 Research and Development: Curatorial Network</b> KURATOR is involved in developing [[http://www.curatorial.net/go/en/read/Home:Curatorial Network]].
