We had this discussion on Art Dirt. We were talking
about the Cheryl Donegan Web project on the DIA site.
I've become interested in the difference between
"presentation" and "transaction" or, in other words,
push vs. push/pull. So much art production is now
a matter of packaging, which fits into conceptualist
strategies quite well. Designers, fabricators (or, now, programmers)
create the art object and that object must be
photogenic in order to enter into the art world network.

At the PORT exhibition that recently closed at the
MIT Visual Arts Center we found ourselves drawn to
the link, the connection and the need to devise
a new lingo to communicate. A programmed object is
difficult to describe and must be engaged rather than
observed.
