Subject: New Media Events at the Guggenheim: March-April 2002

On the occasion of the launch and acquisition of two Internet projects at
www.guggenheim.org/internetart, the Guggenheim Museum offers the following
free programs in March and April at its main building at 88th Street and
Fifth Avenue:


*Art in a Networked Space*
Monday, March 18, 2002 at 7 pm
Sackler New Media Theater

New-media artist Mark Napier illustrates the underlying social implications
of Web browsers and networked environments with past projects including
P-Soup, Shredder, Feed, as well as a new Guggenheim-commissioned work,
net.flag. The audience has an opportunity to interact with net.flag in The
Sackler Center Computer Lab. Napier's projects have been featured in on- and
offline exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; ZKM,
Karlsruhe, Germany; and at the Whitney Museum of American Art.


*Who Controls New Media? Open Art in Closed Systems*
Thursday March 21, 2002 at 7 pm
Peter B. Lewis Theater

In the 1960s artists and technologists independently laid the groundwork for
two parallel forms of democratic expression: the "open artwork"
characterized by viewer participation, and a global Internet where ideas and
images could be freely circulated. Four decades later, the expansion of
copyright has clamped down on public use, interactivity has become a
marketing buzzword, and national security and freedom of expression appear
unreconcilable. Can today's digital artists reassert open protocols in an
increasingly closed society? Participants include Leipzig-based media
historian and interactivity specialist Dieter Daniels; Alex Galloway,
Rhizome.org content director and creator of the FBI-inspired "Carnivore"
surveillance software; and lawyer-programmer Wendy Seltzer, whose Openlaw
Web site offers artists innovative tools for protecting their freedom of
expression. The discussion is moderated by Jon Ippolito and co-organized by
the Guggenheim and Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes New York.


*Collecting the Uncollectable*
Tuesday, April 9, 2002 at 7 pm
Sackler New Media Theater

What are the implications of buying and selling software-based artwork? Join
artists John Klima, Mark Napier, John F. Simon Jr. and new-media consultant
Michele Thursz in a discussion of new business models for artists working in
digital media. The participants will present real-life examples of the
challenges of adapting the existing art market to new artistic mediums. The
discussion is moderated by Jon Ippolito, who will contrast closed- and
open-license models for distributing artworks.
