[artinfo] Re: Artists Lick Curators Ass

[Simon Biggs]

Robbin's observation that new media art curators are unable to address

have complained that current art curators are unable to curate new media
art. Now we have the inverse observation. How do we bridge this gap? Is it
possible? Is it desirable? Whose arses taste better anyway?
