The third book in the DATA Browser series of critical texts that
explore issues at the
intersection of culture and technology.

The site of curatorial production has been expanded to include the
space of the Internet
and the focus of curatorial attention has been extended from the
object to processes to
dynamic network systems. As a result, curatorial work has become more
widely distributed
between multiple agents, including technological networks and
software. This upgraded
‘operating system’ of art presents new possibilities of online
curating that is collective and
distributed - even to the extreme of a self-organising system that
curates itself. The curator
is part of this entire system but not central to it. This book
reflects on these changes and
examines the work of the curator in relation to a wider socio-
political context articulated
through two key issues: immateriality and network systems. It
considers how the practice
of curating has been transformed by distributed networks beyond the
rhetoric of free
software and open systems.
