Intersections This exhibit aims to give net.art a place in the Detroit consciousness, making us all a bit more aware of the wealth of talent we are home to. It also gives Detroit a place within the online reality; a map of Detroit with specific street intersections being the "vestibule" to the gallery. With distinctly unique approaches, the works speak on the common ground of memory and present, theory and phenomena... real and virtual. Curated by net artist Deb King and film artist Robert Andersen. Interface developed by Deb King. Participating artists: Lynn Crawford, Francis Grunow, Carla Harryman, Sherry Hendrick, Mike Kelley, Kai Kim, Bryan W. Koehn, Melanie Manos, Christopher McNamara, Dawn Nye, Martin Schramm, Frank Shifreen, Clint Snider, Patricia Soderberg, Dennis Sumener, Chris Tysh, Vito Valdez, Barrett Watten, and Elizabeth Youngblood.
