How do web-based creative practices relate across cultures and national borders?
KUNSTSURFER is a browser-based art space. It works as an ad-blocker extension that, instead of just hiding advertisements, replaces it with digital contemporary art.
It thereby allows users to repurpose their web-based advertising spaces into an online curatorial platform. By integrating art into daily browsing, KUNSTSURFER questions and redefines art consumption online. It playfully takes over commercial space and engages with its aesthetics and strategies.
“Framed : Wormhole” is a cultural and professional exchange. It asks questions like: If we take culture to include our online activities and identities, how do their online and offline sides relate to each other? The results of the exchange are shown in “Framed : Wormhole” ,an exhibition with works by WEN Gum Gum, TUAN Mu, PENG Si Qi, HOU Ssu Chi, CHANG Ting Chen, LIN Yu Liang and Funnysandwich, curated by Kenneth Ting Yu LIN and Chiara Giardi with the KUNSTSURFER collective, taking place online on the KUNSTSURFER extension and in Wartsaal Wipkingen, Zurich (from June 10th) and in the Digital Art Center, Taipei (from June 11th). The artworks focus on different aspects of the relationship between online and offline worlds.
