A exhibition description of My Own Private Reality by the curators, Sarah Cook and Sabine Himmelsbach, follows: "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."
