‘In Real Life’ is an exhibition inviting innovative and independent online art initiatives to come do a 4-hour residency inside exhibition space—attempting to explore how the production, distribution, consumption and analysis of culture are rapidly evolving in an online context. In particular the exhibition aimed to render the labor of these online practices transparent, providing “real life” access to these cultural producers and overall inspire public dialogue around their practices. At Capricious Space, New York City, March 2009. Participating websites: Art Fag City, ASDF, Club Internet, Ffffound, The Highlights, Humble Arts Foundation, I Heart Photograph, Loshadka, Netmares/Netdreams, Platform For Pedagogy, Private Circulation, UbuWeb, VVORK, Why + Wherefore.
