CONEXIÓN REMOTA: net.art @ Macba - Barcelona


CONEXIÓN REMOTA is a selection of net.art projects, curated by Roberta
Bosco and Stefano Caldana, as an online project of ³ANTAGONISMOS. CASE
STUDIES²,an exhibition of political art curated by Manuel Borja-Villel director of
Macba - Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (http://www.macba.es).


FEATURED ON: 
http://www.macba.es/english/09/conexion_remota.html
and from 26 July to 14 October 2001
at Macba - Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (Spain).


³This selection is not based on a need to monumentalise net.art and much
less to objectivise it or turn it into a fetish. Its aim is to establish
connections and open up a new area for debate, confrontation and critical
analysis. As well as testifying to the ever-increasing and improving
digital art efforts, all the projects selected reveal processes in which a
large number of people have intervened, dealing with the exchange of
information,action and reaction, real problems and situations which demand a stance.
Their authors want them to become catalysts for artistic expression and
public response, to serve as detonators and to point fingers, to make
understanding easy and if necessary, confrontation too.²
