This Lunch Bytes event asks how artists, curators and representatives from art-related institutions use the internet to distribute and exhibit art. How do artists engage with and make use of current online infrastructure and which formats have proven to be productive? What are the dangers and pitfalls of producing and promoting art online, using platforms such as for instance Facebook? What new formats/ideas pertaining to the dissemination and exhibition of art on the internet have materialized? Is curating art in digital spaces different than curating art in a museum space? And how does online culture redefine the function and labor of the curator as well as the artists when it comes the promotion and exhibition of art?
