[-empyre-] Beryl Graham: "Resolutions for Digital Futures"

[Timothy Murray]

Hans Ulrich Obrist has pointed out that the turnover speed for 
exhibitions has increased, meaning that there is less time for 
curatorial research. I think that research is particularly important 
for new media art, so my resolution is to spend less time on 
University bureaucracy, and more time looking at new media art, and 
reflecting on ways that media new media offers for rethinking 
curating. Being towards the end of a major book project for MIT 
Press, I also have resolution to get out more!
