I’ve been working on the videos for We’ve been Re-distributed and am now ready to put them on to the VHS on which their being presented… I’m still looking into where I am going to get the large format digital prints made for this work but the JPEGs are almost ready and the email is ready to send out to a gallery mailing list when I find somewhere to show the work!!! The following quote is taken from Manovich’s Art After Web 2.0 essay and is used in the exhibition text for We’ve been Re-distributed.
