Participate & shape the experience: February 1st—3rd
CrossTalk is an experimental online exhibition that explores interference as a metaphor for trends in contemporary net art.
Artists Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo, Dina Kelberman and Evan Roth present works that create visual interference in the virtual realm by appropriating and re-presenting the content of multiple other Internet users.
Using diverse but poetic tactics, each artist disrupts and deconstructs that content, opening it up to new meanings. This interference is echoed in the experimental format of CrossTalk, which places the virtual gallery in the same browser window as a real-time virtual critique.
How you can participate
Anytime from February 1st—3rd, you're invited to visit crosstalkexhibition.com and share your thoughts on the show's artworks in a virtual critique. The critique happens on a message board that is part of the exhibition's website. Registering on the message board is fast, easy and free. All you need is an e-mail address.
The critique is completely unmoderated. However, an international group of art curators and critics will be periodically stirring up the conversation. Critiquers are encouraged to pose questions, start new conversation threads and post related content. Images, .pdfs and external links that might broaden the discussion are welcome.
CrossTalk: Speech Acts and Interference in Networked Art is curated, designed and programmed by Zach Pearl. It culminates his thesis research for an MFA in Criticism & Curatorial Practice from OCAD University this Spring.
This thesis project has been advised thus far by Paula Gardner, Ph.D. (primary), Caroline Langill, Ph.D. and David Cecchetto, Ph. D.
Made possible in part by the generous support of the Graduate Studies Department at OCAD University.
