The exhibition period: June 19. 2014 – August 31. 2014
net.art Painters and Poets is an exhibition of net.art at the City Art Gallery of Ljubljana.
The exhibition show a collection of significant artists working in this genre. Internet art are rarely seen or presented in a gallery space, for understandable reason, as it is an art form that takes place on the Internet and can easily be viewed from home. I believe, by exhibiting in the white cube format, it can be a way to bring a certain attention to this genre and it can receive a bigger understanding and the entitlement it deserves.
The exhibition is curated by Vuk Ćosić & Alenka Gregorič.

Microtonal Wall is a work by the sound artist Tristan Perich. The work consists of 1500 one-bit-speakers, each playing a specific tone, within a total span of 4 octaves. The speakers are mounted on an large aluminum plate. From a distance the collection of frequencies turns into white noise. However, as the visitor approaches the work, each tone can be singled out.

Knight of Infinite resignation by Diane Landry
This is my first post about a Canadian artist and I can assure you that many more will follow. My opinion is that Canada is one of the most interesting countries when it comes to electronic art. Canadian pioneers, such as Norman T. White, Doug Back and David Rokeby, have all had a significant impact on this particular art genre and been a great source of inspiration for many of its artists.
Diane Landry lives and works in Quebec City. Her installation Knight of Infinite resignation is currently featured in the exhibition Oh, Canada at MASS MoCA. The exhibition runs through 8 of April , 2013.

If you happen to be in Berlin this autumn, I highly recommend the exhibition by Yunchul Kim that runs until 1 December at Schering Stiftung. I will unfortunately not be able to attend the exhibition, but am glad that I got the chance to see the works he presented at Edit-Russ-Haus, Oldenburg last summer.
State of Being at Edith-Russ-Haus
Whiskers in Space by Kerstin Ergenzinger
In July I went to Oldenburg, Germany. The main reason for my visit was to see the exhibition State of Being at Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art with Yunchul Kim and Kerstin Ergenzinger. It was really nice to be able to see this exhibition. I know the two artists quite well from working with them in several exhibitions, so it was a great pleasure for me to see some of their new projects. I liked the exhibition a lot and found it very interesting. I also think the two artists’ works respond very well to each other.
