黑料不打烊

Rhizome presents an exhibition reflecting on the process of narrating archives and histories of online artistic practice.

鈥淭he Art Happens Here: Net Art鈥檚 Archival Poetics鈥� will feature sixteen works from throughout net art history, showcasing a wide range of forms鈥攚ebsites, software, sculpture, graphics, books, and merchandise鈥攚hile offering a space for considering the internet as social process, material infrastructure, and lived experience. The works on view have been selected from 鈥淣et Art Anthology,鈥� Rhizome鈥檚 major online exhibition featuring one hundred works that sketch a possible canon for net art. Presented online at anthology.rhizome.org, 鈥淣et Art Anthology鈥� represents a major archival effort, leveraging Rhizome鈥檚 unique expertise in the history of network culture and the display and preservation of born-digital artworks. Open-ended, performative, and ephemeral, artworks that circulate on and respond to the internet often survive only as fragments and traces, offering glimpses of a larger networked context that can never be fully grasped.
