DIGITAL ARCHIVING AND THE NEW SCREEN: ISBN 978-3-540-79485-1
"Although the first TAGallery show focused on the hyperlink as the primary medium for networking and forging relationships between separate contents, the innovation concept of establishing connections between artifacts pushes the boudary of contemporary art and holds much promise for artists, writers, developers, performers and others interested in wasy to distribute, connect, and share digital media produced for and presented on the new screen." (John F. Barber) read original HYPERFORM NET GALLERY: CURATING NET CURATING "The curator of internet art is working in and within the same medium as the artist and she filters, circulates and creates context. CONT3XT.NET is a Vienna-based media collective who has created an alternative exhibitionspace for collaborative, transparent curating and cooperation based upon linking and tagging. CONT3XT.NET invite curators to choose a theme for the exhibition and to bookmark according to the chosen context. The visitors then have the possibility to bookmark these bookmarks into their own del.icio.us account, create new tags and hereby curate for their own gallery." (Annette Finnsdottir) read original RHIZOME NEWS: BREAKING THE RULES "Some of these contributions are classic net art pieces already experiencing the interestingly adverse effects of time on web-based media, but all of them are important contributions to this discussion of communication. Surf them for yourself and then add to the show, if you'd like. That's right! Curators CONT3XT.NET have adopted an open curatorial model that allows visitors to chime in and widen the vocabulary used "in the exploration of our language with its arbitrary systems and rules, its corresponding functions within society, as well as with its absurdities and restrictions for the individual."" (Marisa Olson) read original IN|AD|AE|QU|AT: @ ONLINE EXHIBITION "Wer das Kuratorenduo und deren Plattform PUBLICCURATING nennt und kennt , weiss, dass es hier hoch reflexiv hergeht . Das der Ausstellung zugrunde liegende Konzept ist daher in seiner Komplexität nicht eben leicht in einfache Worte zu bringen . Ausgehend von de Saussures binärer Auffassung des Sprachlichen Zeichens in Manifestation ( signifiant >< parole ) und bedeutungsträchtiger "Meaning" ( signifié ) wird überprüft, was in den ephemeren Sphären des digitalen Zeitalters überhaupt noch an kommunikativer Verbindlichkeit hergestellt werden kann." (Christiane Zintzen) read original KURATOR PA NETTET: WEB 2.0 OG NETKUNST "PUBLICCURATING er et website som gerne må inspirere os i arbejdet med dette site. http://publiccurating.cont3xt.net/ er et researchprojekt skabt af CONT3XT.NET, der har base i Wien, hvor de samler metoder, ressourcer og teorier om kuratering af new media kunst, netkunst og videokunst." (Annette Finnsdottir) read original PABLO MANCINI: ÉTICA HACKER MADE IN ROSARIO "Es el caso de TAGALLERY, una iniciativa de artistas austriacos que clasifican en una base de datos online propuestas artísticas. Hacen del hipertexto un dispositivo al servicio de la curaduría." (Pablo Mancini) read original IN|AD|AE|QU|AT: RICH.TXT - FIN DE PARTIE + FORTSETZUNG "2006 bis 2008 heisst es in der Unterzeile von RICH.TXT lakonisch, meint allerdings keineswegs, dass das bemerkenswerte Archiv (...) damit getilgt sei. Die Gruppe CONT3XT.NET bleibt glücklich weiter aktiv und führt die theoretische Rede auf PUBLICCURATING fort und erweitert ihre virtuelle Stichwort- | Code- bzw. TAGallery. Was für ein im besten Sinne babylonisches Labyrinth!" (Christiane Zintzen) read original WRYTING-L: INTERVIEW WITH MEZ BREEZE "[The mez interview] seems like something young artists should see and read... I'm having the experience over and over in school now, that "text" has become mathematics to many of our young people. Mez's textuality seems so vital and alive and personal, it needs to be taught more...or shown around in different contexts." (Lanny Quarles) read original RHIZOME NEWS: TAGGING AS CURATING "Ranging from thematic groupings to discussions on curating as tagging, the initial TAGallery shows are as diverse as the taggers themselves, which demonstrates the innovative character of the new media field, always pushing the boundaries of the contemporary art world." (Miguel Amado) read original DOCAM: QU'ARRIVE-T-IL QUAND ... "... un lien Web représente à la fois l'oeuvre, le contexte et l'exposition? C'est l'interrogation formulée par la TAGallery, une fraction du regroupement CONT3XT.NET. Cette collection propose un espace pour imaginer le récit de leur existence, mais aussi de leur disparition. Elle soulève évidemment la question de la conservation de ces oeuvres et ses enjeux, notamment leur inscription historique. Elle met en lumière le caractère éphémère du net.art et la nécessité de l'action humaine dans la conservation des oeuvres Web." (Emilie Boudrias) read original SERIAL CONSIGN: TAGGING AS CURATION "Over the last several months CONT3XT.NET has become one of my favourite resources for monitoring the pulse of art and discourse on the net. (...) In my opinion this is one of the most well executed projects I've seen on the web in a while." (Greg J. Smith) read original INTUTE—ARTS&HUMANITIES: CONT3XT.NET "There are a details of a number of ongoing CONT3XT projects, some of which are hosted as external websites. Notable are: Re: MAGAZINE which is a PDF magazine; PUBLICCURATING which is a lively weblog about curating the new media arts; and ATCALLS which features current calls for artists." (D. Haden) read original ALMA MATINAL: ARTE Y FOLSKSONOMÍAS "CONT3XT.NET puso en marcha el proyecto TAGALLERY, que consiste en un experimento artístico de creación folksonómica. Los artistas curadores que participan de la exposición utilizan delicious para taggear en forma colaborativa los sitios más interesantes vinculados al arte, la literatura y los nuevos medios." (Lorena Betta) read original RHIZOME NEWS: CURATORIAL CONTEXTS "In between established museum curators' practices and emerging curating models, the presentation of new media art demands more and more theoretical frameworks that still need to be developed, and this project constitutes a step forward in this direction." (Miguel Amado) read original CCAP RESEARCH COMMUNITY: LINK.OF.THOUGHT_THOUGHT.OF.LINK "Extending the blog format of their very cool collection of feeds, CONT3XT.NET bloggers launch a del.icio.us powered tag gallery that teases out the digital environment's problematization of gallery space and expert curatorship while." read original CURATING NETART: NET ART SPACES "Netart curators, as we can read in the introduction of the catalogue CURATING MEDIA/NET/ART by CONT3XT.NET, are often deemed cultural context providers, meta artists, power users, filter feeders or simply proactive consumers. Their task is not only the mediation of the artwork itself, but the handling of communication processes and methodologies surrounding each artwork, while addressing different audiences on different levels of knowledge." (Ela Kagel) read original DISPOSITIVOS DE VISIBILIDADE: BLOGGER SKINS E TAGALLERY "Dois projetos reportados no Rhizome lidam com as relações entre arte, artista e curadoria no âmbito dos mecanismos de busca e de ordenação da informação na Internet. Blogger Skins coloca em questão as identidades construídas pelas buscas no Google, bem como as relações entre crítico e artista. A TAGallery e o coletivo CONT3XT.NET realizam um experimento de curadoria a partir dos procedimentos de categorização da web 2.0, particularmente da geração de tags por usuários de redes como del.icio.us." (Fernanda Bruno) read original THE HIVE: LOOPS, RINGS, CIRCLES, AND INFINITY "I was recently invited by the lovely folks at CONT3XT.NET to curate a 'TAGallery'. I think this kind of 'immaterial' curating is quite fascinating, and an interesting step beyond the net.art curating that came before. Like the Blogumenta project I mention elsewhere on this blog that used Facebook as a platform, TAGallery and other initiatives use the growing scope of social software and tools that are out there as drivers for cultural discourse." (Michelle Kasprzak) read original DIGIMAG: TAG GALLERY "TAGallery by CONT3XT.NET estende l'idea di un di un'esposizione 'tagged' e trasferisce i principali compiti di uno spazio espositivo non commerciale a un discorso di data-spazio virtuale (elettronico). Il metodo dei tagging permette l'attribuzione di artworks a differenti campi tematici." read original INTUTE—ARTS&HUMANITIES: TAGALLERY "It is, in practice, a simple procedure and TAGallery has extended it to create a new concept in online art exhibitions. TAGallery is an offshoot of CONT3XT.NET, an Austrian-based new media group comprising Sabine Hochrieser, Carlos Katastrofsky Franz Thalmair. The gallery uses the del.icio.us website to create its exhibitions." (Wayne Clements) read original KIBER DZEZVA: TAGIRANJE KAO KURIRANJE "TAG Galerija je eksperimentalni projekt koji ispituje praksu tagiranja u kontekstu svijeta umjetnosti i sudeci po razvoju projekta, cini se, da je u Web 2.0 kulturi vaznije kreirati link, otvoriti nove komunikacijske kanale izmedu razlicitih sadrzaja, nego pokazati nesto neponovljivo, lijepo, istinito ili izuzetno."
