MY OWN PRIVATE REALITY
GROWING UP ONLINE IN THE 90S and 00S
May 12th - July 1st 2007
Opening May 11th, 7 pm
/“Audiences increasingly share control of the creation of information
through the act of reception. Data can be configured in many ways, but
only that embraced by audiences will determine the value of any exchange
of data (and in this process, the creation of information). This can be
the creation of art.”/ - Tom Sherman
/My Own Private Reality/ is a playful look at the hype surrounding what
is called Web 2.0 – the proliferation of publicly accessible websites
which allow communities of users to create and share content (writing,
photos, videos, music, etc.) – something that previously was only done
by professionals, self-taught enthusiasts, or organisations with staff
members with technical and software know-how. With blogs, wikis, and
centralised file-sharing sites, first-time users can now be as
productive as the well-paid experts. How artists play in the online
spaces between those populated by unpopular amateurs and well-known
professionals is at the heart of this exhibition.
