Cahoots: Artist Teams and Collaborations on the Web
The web, it seems, is an ideal place for collaboration. Web 2.0 has encouraged us all to comment, consume, and collaborate with our culture. It only make sense that in the last 15 years artist who have moved to internet to make their work should embrace collaboration and in some cases, identify themselves as a group rather than individuals.
The exhibition showcases a wide variety of works thematically. It includes work by net.art / internet art luminaries like Jodi.org and Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries and a theater / web piece by a large production company, New Paradise Laboratories, among others. The common ground that all of these works share is that they were created by groups and that they debunk the long held myth of the solitary “tortured” artist. After all, the web is now a “social” place.
Terminal is a space sponsored by the Department of Art and the Center for the Creative Arts at Austin Peay State University to showcase and examine internet and new media art.
The site is directed and maintained by Barry Jones, Associate Professor of Art at Austin Peay State University.
