1.1.1 Title/Author
Summer, Olia Lialina, 2013
1.1.2 Description
"I like to swing on the location bar of the browser, and I like to know that the
speed of swinging depends on the connection speed, and that you can’t watch this
GIF offline. This GIF is distributed over many web servers, it is very fragile,
can freeze from time to time. Sorry!" or your interpretation.
1.2 Form of Exhibition
1.2.1
Summer is an artwork distributed on the web. Therefore, the piece shall never be
exhibited as a video or a set of static images.
1.2.2
I am open to discuss forms of installation that support and emphasize
the distributed structure of the work.
1.2.3
The default way of exhibiting the work is live from the web, from the original
URLs, via a web browser with the location bar visible.
1.2.4
The URL of any frame can be used to link to the work. The list of all hosts can
be found at http://art.teleportacia.org/olia/summer/ However, this address is
not to be used as a link to the project.
1.3 Exhibition Fee
1.3.1
If you don't host a frame of 'Summer' and want to exhibit it, online or offline, I ask you for a
fee.
1.3.2
If you host a frame of Summer you can count on at least 10 EUR / USD / GBP every time the
artwork is shown.(still looking for a better, less trivial, but direct expression)
1.3.3
If you host a frame and want Summer to be part of a no-budget show you
organized, I will not ask for a fee, but you will be taken off the "payroll".
