Curated by Carolyn Kane for Rhizome.org September, 2009.
The HTML Color Codes exhibition features a selection of internet based 
artwork that address the topic of digital color. The central question 
that the exhibition poses is whether or not artists working with the 
internet are in fact limited to a "ready-made" color palette, a premise 
that many artists working with film, photography, and mass produced, 
standardized paint sets have assumed. The rationale for this question 
stems from theories of perception that argue that color is a not 
ready-made object found in a paint set or machine, but rather it is an 
experience that results from a complex process of light interacting with 
the retina and human nervous system.

Dr. Susan Ballard is a writer, curator, musician and artist who spends 
her time writing, thinking and teaching about contemporary digital and 
time-based installation art, sound and noise. Her current research 
investigates the contribution of artists to contemporary notions of 
utopia and the political and cultural implications of a materialist 
reading of media cultures in antipodean environments. Su is the 
Principal Lecturer in Electronic Arts at the Dunedin School of Art, in 
New Zealand. Her book The Aotearoa Digital Arts Reader was published in 
2008. She is a founding trustee of ADA 
(http://www.aotearoadigitalarts.org) New Zealand's digital artists 
network. She tends to blog here: http://housesparrow.blogspot.com
