[iDC] curatorial lists

[timothy murray]

Barbara,

Regarding curatorial lists, you might be interested in the conceptual 
groupings of digital art from a few exhibitions that I have curated. 
Most materials from these exhibitions are included in the Rose 
Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, which I curate at Cornell 
University (not too far from Alfred) and ready for public 
consultation very soon (so your students could come down).  I'll soon 
announce to the list the updated website 
(http://goldsen.library.cornell.edu) which will have a full listing 
of all of the Archive holdings, and will provide online access to 
many materials.

For the issues of CTHEORY MULTIMEDIA, which I co-curated with Arthur 
and Marilouise Kroker (http://ctheorymultimedia.cornell.edu), we 
organized the conceptual issues into separate thematic/theoretical 
groupings of 4-6 pieces of net.art (you can consult these issues 
online: Tech Flesh: The Promises and Perils of the Humane Genome 
Project; Wired Ruins: Digital Terror and Ethnic Paranoia; NetNoise). 
You also might be interested in low-fi out of London 
(http://www.low-fi.org.uk/) that mounts listings of net.art 
exhibitions and writing by guest selectors.  I did one a while back 
on Digital Terror: Art and Theory in the Age of Surveillance.

Regarding a broader array of digital work, the exhibition, Contact 
Zones: The Art of CD-Rom (http://contactzones.cit.cornell.edu 
[bilingual catalogue: English and Spanish]), included twelve programs 
of 5-6 international CD-Roms, each oriented around conceptual themes 
(I might mention that I mounted the Mexican version of Contact Zones 
with Priamo Lozada, who recently died tragically while curating the 
Mexican Pavilion at the Venice Biennale):
