Distributed art of invisible networks: Notes on network politics

Research output: Contribution to journal/Conference contribution in journal/Contribution to newspaperJournal articleCommunication

Abstract

The intention of this text is to describe the conditions in which the network as a medium emerges. This article concentrates on a reading of selected examples of network art and is driven by Rancière’s writings on politics of aesthetics. In particular I focus on love_potion, a network artwork by Cornwall based artist group Glorious Ninth, and on the Department of Reading (DoR) which is a project initiated in 2006 by Sönke Hallmann at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. The question I am interested in is whether contemporary art can re-establish or express its connection with ethics? And if this can be achieved through the space of the common which these network artworks seem to create.
