REAL vs VIRTUAL

Interesting point here, is this discussion seem to shift
to special made work to the real expo. I wonder if all "real" artists
do new pieces especially made for the show, or that for example 
Pippiloti Rist is just paid for having a "old" video shown in "real" 
space.
Interesting point is what would be done if a piece by Pippiloti
Rist is available on the net, say for example on the site of
her gallery and used in the way it is now done by a work as for 
example done by Jodi.
But the point here goes i think further then the question of
payment, it's about how seriously netart is taken (by curators and
netartists themselves). And how easy or difficult it is to add 
netart that is looked at as virtual to a real show in a real building,
were people have real wages, etc. without thinking of the implications.

ppplll

 




just to give to whole thing a different angle
a question to valentina tanni: you are paid for writing some text,
does this mean that everybody that wants to publish them after
you are paid for them, can publish them freely?
