Speech and the faculty of meta-reflection about one’s language are inherent characteristics of human beings. All projects shown in the exhibition are originally Internet-based artworks. The main common ground is their starting point in the exploration of our language with its arbitrary systems and rules, its corresponding functions within society, as well as
with its absurdities and restrictions for the individual. Rather than to focus on the isolated – literary/literally – artwork, the exhibition highlights general artistic tendencies leading to a discursive process, hich originates from the Internet and finds its way back to the “virtualities of our real life”.
Besides general information and documentation about You Own Me Now Until You Forget Me, the website of the exhibition includes the possibility to extend the concept as well as the list of selected works of art. Curated by: Birgit Rinagl, Franz Thalmair / CONT3XT.NET
