Dear Network, Partners, and Friends!<br><br><a href="http://CONT3XT.NET" target="_blank">CONT3XT.NET</a> is a Vienna-based initiative founded in January 2006. Programmatically, this group of artists, curators and writers - their different roles and functions sometimes regarded strictly, sometimes as a fluid continuum - work at the basis of contemporary visual, textual and networked practices. Starting from the idea of the context as the most indecisive and variable but relevant constraint of any situation, the collective reflects upon the spatial, temporal, discursive as well as the institutional framework that conceptual artistic practices (on the Internet and elsewhere) are rooted in today.<br>
<br>After six successful years of intense, diverting, and precarious work with a whole bunch of online and offline exhibitions, conversations about (new media) art with (new media) artists, online discussions and online reasearch as well as lectures, talks and presentations inside and outside Austria, after three publications outlining the basic ideas of our main projects, we decided to stop <a href="http://CONT3XT.NET" target="_blank">CONT3XT.NET</a> by January 2012.<br>
<br>Nevertheless we will keep on working - sometimes collaboratively, sometimes as a fluid continuum. If you wish to contact us or send some feedback, please write an e-mail to the following address and stay tuned: former-at-cont3xt-dot-net<br>
