TAGallery by CONT3XT.NET extends the idea of a tagged exhibition and transfers the main tasks of noncommercial exhibition spaces to the discourse of an electronic data-space. The method of tagging allows the attribution of artworks to different thematic fields. EXHIBITION_003 was tagged/curated by Ursula Endlicher and Ela Kagel, who started the blog Curating NetArt in May 2006 as ongoing conversations about various topics surrounding media arts. Their exhibition " link.of.thought_thought.of.link..." for TAGallery is an extension of this blog in dialogue-form and a meta-curatorial statement of their perspective on the challenges of curating media/net/art.

To post a link and thus to relate two or more contents is a basic method to create a freely accessible and modular network of personal associations on the World Wide Web. The act of linking, which has come to be one of the most common cultural practices on the Internet and which is a simplified version of the copy/paste-technique, creates new contexts on Web-based platforms, personal homepages, blogs and last but not least (art-)databases.

Yet, what if a link turns into the representative of the artefact, the context and the exhibition at once?

[PUBLIC] curating

[PUBLIC] curating is an ongoing research-project by the Vienna-based organisation CONT3XT.NET, collecting methods, resources and theories concerning the changing conditions of the curation of (New) Media Art. The organisation CONT3XT.NET investigates the (perception of) communication in our society by means of experimental formation, starting from the concept of the context and its transfer into digitally networked interrelation.
