"Dystopia...",
Exhibition
on Net.art
by : Alessandro
Ludovico
Recently
closed at Tribes Gallery in New York was:
"Dystopia
+ Identity in the Age of Global
Communications",
an imposing exhibition curated by
Cristine
Wang, who reunites established and emerging
net.artists.
Many of the works, realised with some of
the
most varied and latest software + hardware
techniques
(and for the most part online), demonstrate
the
positive and apocalyptic approaches taken by artists
as
they comment upon the network.
Filled
with luminaries like Mark Amerika, Natalie
Bookchin,
Heath Bunting, Critical Art Ensemble,
Ricardo
Dominguez, Fakeshop, Marina Grzinic,
Fran
Ilich, Eduardo Kac, Tina La Porta, Mark
Napier,
Carsten Nicolai, Francesca da Rimini,
Linda
Wallace and many others.
