http://www: a birthday celebration
2019 marks 30 years since the inception of the world wide web! Within this brief time, the internet has radically reshaped the landscape and trajectory of our world, physically and virtually. To commemorate the WWW’s big three-O, Carnation Contemporary presents http://www: a birthday celebration, an exhibition of works on and about the internet. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, a stream of talks, publications, social media feeds, and screenings will celebrate, discuss, challenge and reckon with the complex structure we call the internet.
Perhaps a giant self-portrait of humanity (a meta-selfie, if you will), the internet offers a dizzying array of high and low, frivolous and profound, endless content in a constantly shifting composition. “The web by its nature is surrealist: a shattered, contradictory, and fragmented medium.”* In this spirit, http://www seeks a diverse array of work exploring the internet as content, form, system, medium, and experience. We want to dig into the history, future, materiality, and mechanisms of the internet.
*Kenneth Goldsmith, Wasting Time on the Internet, 2016.
Possible explorations could include:
spirituality, fantasy, research, colonization, politics of the internet
Web ecology
Cultural production in the internet age
Information pushers
The internet as system
The internet as perpetuation
The internet as sentient
Social media as landscape
Self-surveillance and the internet
Etc.
The possibilities are as endless as the internet.
For http://www we’ll be accepting three categories of submissions: works for exhibition, web page submissions, and proposals for talks and presentations.
