Yukiko Shikata on the Net Vision / Net Excellence Jury
You have curated a series of Net Art events. What implications do the transformations wrought by the Internet have on artistic practices? What are the most important tendencies in Net Art during the last years? Yukiko Shikata: I see the works are getting more and more to investigate the shared-environment of the Internet, promoting and asking for collaboration both in production, operation and creation, in broader level, open to the public. Regarding the Internet as the environment with vast amount of resources, the artists, programmers, designers can investigate the potentials of it beyond the fields such as media, sound, text, design, etc. One of the last project you have curated was "Kingdom of Piracy - KOP", which premiered at Ars Electronica 2002, focusing on the issue of Intellectual Property. How do you see this issue in the context a new "immaterial economy" and art on the net? Yukiko Shikata: KOP provides you the chance to think and deal with the issue of Intellectual Property, through various artistic practices and theoretical investigations, by opening the word "piracy" in poetic artistic interventions. In KOP I see the works as "nodes" based on the digital technology, to be created based on the existing works, and could be modified for the future creations. It is different from the existing economy based on the physical matters, but those phenomenon is sensitive reflections of our current society. *KOP is growing, by adding new projects and appearing at some venues by "parasiting" them depending on the situation (such as log.v2.nl (at DEAF03/rotterdam)or kop.fact.co.uk (at FACT Centre / Liverpool). It is the first time that you are jury member in the category "Net Vision / Net Excellence". Which criteria must fulfil a website so that you would award it a Golden Nica? Yukiko Shikata: I have some ideas but rather telling them now, I really look forward to meeting the "eye-opening" works with new notion of expression and creation in research and public participation. | |
