  1. What is Curatorial Design? Steve Gibson performing When Ghosts Will Die, Victoria, BC, spring 2005

  2. digital media Artist-curator Blake Shell looks at her work of art at “Windows into Art,” June 2010; photo by Christina Broussard-Pearson. Kathi Rick and Anne John’s video installation at “Windows into Art,” June 2010; photo by Christina Broussard-Pearson. Like painting, sculpture, etc. we talk about it as both a form and a technology, but its make up and the way we experience it differs widely.

  3. Ephemeral • Embodies both the spatio-temporal positioning found in the preposition, epi––“on, “upon,” “on the surface of”––and the noun, hemera, day: upon a day • Suggests a state of temporariness, an object existing but for a fleeting moment • Involves an aesthetic of beauty found in the moment, of loss and of passing Dene Grigar performing “Things of Day and Dream” in the MOVE Lab, a black box site; photo by Jeannette Altman. Live performance constitutes an ephemeral art form. From Dene Grigar’s “E-Ject:  On the Ephemeral Nature, Mechanisms, and Implications of Electronic Objects”

  4. From the Latin verb, “immergere,” or to dip, immersion is a quality of digital media where the “active creation of belief” (Murray 319) occurs so effectively that one dips into a new reality, a new space, and a new world different than the one usually occupied (Grigar). Immersive Dene Grigar, experiencing Simon Biggs’ work, “reRead,” DAC 2009, UC Irvine, December 2009

  5. DIGITAL MEDIA IS AN ANCESTOR OF THE OPTICAL ILLUSION “They created an appearance of reality by tricking the senses through a mix of technical manipulations” (Dziekan 76). From “Optical Illusions 4 Kids,” http://opticalillusions4kids.blogspot.com

  6. Curator’s aesthetic Space Material Object Audience’s aesthetic Curating involves Aesthetic, Material, & Spatial practices “A dialectic of relational thinking that points to the inherent tension that exists in the very structure of their exhibition” (76).

  7. Virtuality Steve Gibson and Dene Grigar perform Virtual DJ over the net, with Gibson in Victoria, BC and Grigar in Dallas, TX; spring 2005; photo by John Barber . . . has “a dialectical nature: its cross-referencing of what is being experienced through imaginative immersion ‘within’ the artwork with what remains ‘without” (Dziekan 80).

  8. Curatorial Design The 3D image of an engine seemingly pops up out of the iPad frame with the help of the augmented reality program, Metaio; “Autovation,” by CMDC OMSI Fellows, spring 2012 Dene Grigar captures the photo she takes of herself with an iPhone in real time for an online site “. . . how the overlaps and exchanges that characterise the integration of digital media in real space [may] lead to a reconsideration of the exhibition interface” (Dziekan 83).
