Beyond the white cube: into the silicon labyrinth

I am in the initial throes of writing a piece about spaces for creativity and, as an extension of this- access to art in our hyper-real computer age.

Some questions: but no answers…

How does the artist come to grips with this boundless domain? (the audience has become so intangible, yet is only a click away)
How do we cope with the saturation of imagery (as an audience), when the internet, after all, is all about commerce and capitalism..??
How does the artist use the space as a medium (the internet has its limitations: bandwidth etc.) ??
Where does the gallery space fit in- or doesn’t it? (is it simply a pre-cursor?!)
