try not to take this art thing too seriously. If you like making web
art, nobody's stopping you.

If you want others to like engaging in it, stop whining when it at
least get a little attention. most of em won't even give that much,
so just listen to them. we can be humble for ten minutes and learn.
everybody is an expert, no need to prove you are or they aren't.
assume they know something you don't (because they actually do).
they have something to offer, but often you have to figure out how to
get it.

It can be great to finally hear a critic/reporter/reviewer who can
say "cut the bullshit." is any critique perfect? especially not
when it's saying what we don't want to hear. just listen, cull what
you can and let go of these blame assessment binges (both hers and
ours). there's no right/wrong unless you choose to take it that way.
whereas boxer is offering some clues as to what grabs her interest,
what doesn't and most importantly what bugs her. that's all there is
to it.


ja:
The more interesting challenge for rhizome and the curators would be to
create interfaces into the rhizome database which are intriguing and allow
an experience in the gallery that is as good or better than selecting 40
particular works.

jim, good point/idea.

I agree that is a good point/ idea. Artists have made interfaces for the
ArtBase in the past, as you probably know, and they have also been
commissioned: http://rhizome.org/interface/ - But the ArtBase is always
changing, and so should the ways to engage it..
