The "originality" of a work is also totally bizzare and irrelavent
definition as probably the version of a popular website that one is
viewing on one's home computer is a cached version in the isp's server
anyway, not the "original" coming direct to you from its unique url, and
for that matter urls are as easy to change as mobile phone numbers - they
are only pointers to particular cordinates.

Are you really familiar with the net in general and net
servers in particular? On any Unix-like server, it's quite easy to set up
a cron job that mirrors http://art.teleportacia.org every one hour or even
every five minutes if you like.
i think it is good that people send ugly things to insitutions
using donate, this was one of the main intentions
(i hope teleportacia gets some nice things aswell though)

> Do you know that modern and media art museums are collecting net art?
I do not think location is of much importance. The network
has become a place on its own. The network _is_ the location. The physical
location of the server is not all that important. It is just a funny
detail. The physical location of the user might be more relevant but even
she is not there when she is on the network.
The name Art.Teleportacia reminds me of the French expression "pret a porter". Does the name of the cyber gallery have anything to do with the works being ready to carry?
I think prices are much too low. I would have said 20.000$.
I believe it is a disservice to sell so cheap. you've got to show those old
curators that this is for real. They got to learn the hard way.
Как на счет русскоязычных посетителей?(What about Russian speaking audience? - art.tel)
If I was to buy something on the net, it would be art.teleportacia.org itself. Maybe you should try some kind of exhibition with a limited audience. People who long to own, as far as i can perceive,should like an idea of sacred, non-public admission also. One can recall "numbered" book editions, or just simply private parties of artists and richmen. But I think the prices are really much too high. Better to try toencourage new, young collectors, who can understand and appreciate thework, and who may already be part of the net community. One thing I learned is that before they buy art many collectors like towatch the artist eating. I don't know why but I always knew I had a betterchance of selling something if I let them take me to dinner, usuallyItalian. I got fed, they bought, it's the way I always thought art shouldwork. Olia should have a section with animated gifs of all of them eating. Sometimes it's better just to admit that you're desperate to make somemoney rather than try to turn it into an oppositional art strategy toexcuse yourself. Perhap the best thing to do would be to buy up all thenet art and burn it all in a ritual art event at a large (real) gallery. Write to inform@teleportacia.org |
