My quick opinion on online vs. physical gallery spaces...
I think, having an online presence is extremely valuable for introducing people to new artworks. I've seen things online that I never would have seen if I solely relied on real galleries. Real galleries with their needs of selling work, are limited by what they perceive is the marketability of an artist and their work. However, if you want to sell artwork, it has to be done in a physical location. I see a problem developing where artists are fooled into thinking they can sell their work via the internet. If your a seasoned artist with collectors and a show history, you can work the online market. However, it takes a gallery to get you to that point. I often see contests offering as a reward an online exhibit. This is a joke and should be avoided. You can get on to Saatchionline.com for free, and they are legit. Emerging artists need gallery shows, and galleries should be introducing new artists. Otherwise the artworld goes stagnant. Real, physical shows in a gallery are still the thing if you really want to get somewhere with your art.
The keynotes / lead performer lineup for the conference Remote Encounters: Connecting bodies, collapsing spaces and temporal ubiquity in networked performance has now been confirmed. We are proud to welcome:
Keynote:
Jo-Anne Green from Turbulence (http://turbulence.org/) and Networked Performance (http://turbulence.org/blog/)
Marc Garrett from Furtherfield (http://www.furtherfield.org/)
Lead performer:
Annie Abrahams (http://www.bram.org/)
Our open call for papers and performances continues until 4pm (GMT), Friday 31/08/12. Please find details included below.
:: Call for papers and performances ::
Contributions are invited from practitioners and academics for papers and performances that contextualise current networked performance themes and issues both historically and across the spectrum of different types of networks, explore the wealth of performance opportunities offered by the internet and give a sample of future directions for networked performance.
The full call can be found online at:
http://remote-encounters.tumblr.com/
Remote Encounters, a two-day international conference with performance evening, aims to explore the use of networks as a means to enhance or create a wide variety of performance arts. How do networks as a site for performance provide opportunities for us as artists and performers? In particular how can we remotely collaborate, merge geographically separate places and times, reconfigure the space of performance and the relationship between artist and audience?
For full details of the call for papers and performances, see: http://remote-encounters.tumblr.com/
Members, I have now formally forwarded the petition on censorship to Artreview.com as an email (below). If no response is received I will also forward the petition by post. Hopefully we will have a positive respond soon.

Dear Artreview.com
As a representative of a number of members of the artreview community, subscribers to the magazine and users of the website, I would like to draw your attention to a petition objecting to the censorship of our art dictated by your ISP as stated in your community announcement of the 6th of September 2011.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/artreview-isp-censorship/
We feel that this is yet another example of creative expression suppressed by the rules and regulations of corporate institutions and does not reflect or demonstrate understanding of the long traditions, histories and well established thematic and theoretic concerns of art. Nudity in art has, is and will continue to be a subject matter of significant importance which reflects many of the concerns of the human condition. We feel that it is poor form that you, a well established contemporary art magazine who itself has supported cutting edge and sometimes controversial art are allowing your provider to dictate what is 'acceptable' art and surprised that you have not considered how this issue might be dealt with as your online community grew.
We understand that you have a contractual relationship with your ISP who regulate use of its servers and will be unlikely to effect change of their policies and so request that you consider changing your ISP to a more art community friendly provider rather than censor and possibly stunt what is a blossoming community. In addition we request a statement from Artreview.com confirming how this issue is being resolved and as indication of support for artists' rights, your community members, to choose their modes of expression.
We hope that this petition will be seen by you as it is intended, an indication of concern on your community members part and that you will protect your constituency.
Sincerely
Garrett Lynch

Hello, great topic. The Internet is currently the best soapbox in the world (virtual and traditional), be it for art or anything else. I imagine there are a lot of people who prefer the virtual experience, still you cannot beat experiencing work made in the real world in the traditional gallery or space, but work made for the screen, video installations etc. can work just as well online, plus now you have work created specifically for the online experience.
As more artists and art business world people embrace the virtual and the virtual experience is still evolving as is the technology, then I think the means by which we judge the virtual will evolve into something more concrete or marketable.
