PRESS RELEASE

KURATOR and LaAgencia announce:

AFTER THE NET (2.0)

http://www.kurator.org/afterthenet/

'After the Net (2.0)' explores the paradoxical development of the
Internet. As the current Web 2.0 hype begins to wane, the exhibition
reflects upon the promises of technological progress, global networking
and instantaneous communication. Presented artworks draw attention to
key developments: from cybernetics to free and open source software, and
social networking platforms.

Reflected in the title, the exhibition makes explicit reference to the
documentary film 'The Net' by Lutz Dammbeck (2003), and has three
iterations: for Valencia (2008), Plymouth (2009) and Toluca (2010). The
selection of artists is updated for each venue as a new version.
