Wednesday, 18 Sep 2002 to Saturday, 19 Oct 2002
Opening Reception: Thursday, Sep 19, 6-8 pm
Artists: Maya Kalogera, Valery Grancher, Mark Tribe, and Jody Zellen
Curated by Richard Rinehart
Day Jobs explores the relationship between international net art and
its social and economic context through case studies of individual
net artists' day jobs in relation to their art. Rather than take the
more common art-historical or museological approach, this exhibition
examines the conditions of practice as a way into a genre. In
contrast to traditional media artists, digital media artists have
less of an economic base in art sales, and often work in the same
digital media by day for income as well as by night as an artist.
This situates digital artists between art and a relatively new
industry, as well as between their eerily similar day and night
activities, creating a kind of interference pattern that is largely
unexplored.
