I thought this was an interesting mix of a clutch of new, online exhibits
at the Walker together with a large show at the German ZKM Museum that is
about artists reviewing the interaction between society and technology.

From the WebPage:

" As the title of the exhibition supposes, net_condition is
not about
"net-art for net-art's sake"; rather, it's about the
artist's look at the
way society and technology interact with each other, are each
other's "condition": At the dawn of information society,
there's a
growing demand for knowledge, data exchange, entertainment,
and it
frequently has to be "just in time", "on demand", "in real
time". The
technical answer to this is called "internet". At the same
time, the
net itself is shaping society, new fields of social,
commercial, and
artistic interaction emerge. There are new possibilities,
even those
no one ever asked for.

"In this rich field of opportunities, utopian and
emancipatory hopes
re-appear on stage; equality of chances, world citizenship,
participation without borders are regarded as technically
doable and
are promoted by private communities, while the global
players in the
commercial world go for their goals with the very same
technical
means.

"Social interaction is changing with the net. From the point
of view of
the history of media, we also see a change in the way people
play
music, remember, tell stories, design, play. net_condition
is talking
about how these changes are reflected, presented, and
researched
by net artists. Also, net_condition is about how events in
real space
and events in the virtual "space" of the net react to each
other,
trigger each other, or just collide. Distributed Virtual
Reality,
Shared Cyberspace, non-local communications, multi user
environments and net games - these are some of the main
topics of
net_condition.

"For Peter Weibel, head of the ZKM and curator of
net_condition, has
high hopes for the role net-art is about to play. Says he: »At
present, net art is the driving force, which is the most
radical in
transforming the closed system of the aesthetic object of
modern
art into the open system of post-modern (or second modern)
fields
of action.«
