In place of the art object, work of this kind produces open, participatory systems that echo the hypertextual structures of the Internet.

works and exhibitions that stress context and the viewers' navigation of the space of display;

works that are reconfigurable for different sites;

works that use the infrastructure of the presenting institution as a material component of the piece, or engage the viewer in the process of production;

the emphasis on art's relation to other realms of culture, increasingly evident in curatorial practice as in art works themselves;

exhibitions and artists' projects that deflect art out of the museum and gallery;

site-responsive and community-based art production.

These trends in art practice speak to a concern with the redesign of infrastructure occurring across culture as we are caught up in the often invisible interface with digital technology.
