Net_Working

Tue 20 - Thu 29 Nov 1200hrs - 1900hrs Digital Café

Net_Working is an exhibition of web works by national and international 
artists available to view online and in the
Digital Café at www.watershed.co.uk/Net_Working. The exhibition has been 
curated by Dew Harrison (UWE) for
the CHArt annual conference at the British Academy in London (Wed 28 - Thu 
29 Nov). CHArt (Computers and
the History of Art) was established by art and design historians who were 
also computer enthusiasts. Initially a
forum for the exchange of ideas, it is now a society open to all who have 
an interest in the application of
computers to the study of art and design. This year’s CHArt conference, 
Digital Art History - A Subject in
Transition; Opportunities and Problems will focus on how computers and the 
internet are used to teach, archive,
research and source art. Dew Harrison and Suzette Worden (UWE) will be 
discussing, with reference to the
exhibition, how art exists in its own right on the internet and the 
implications surrounding it.
