every curator has thier cultural adgenda to push.. most media work doesnt get shown in mainstream australian galleries because a lot of the curators with "position" and are very filmic and are looking for seamless aesthetcis which speak the language of cinema . not the language of the net.. yet they woudl think they are very open and informed as to contemporary practice...and would see cultural politics as something soemone else enforces.
cultural politics includes those who get government funding to do or work on projects..and who gets sponsorship and who gets comissions..so any one who has ever been paid for thier work form some other entity is part of that cultural machinary.. anyone who make s anything is also part of it.. you dont exist outside your relations with your environment..
