North End artist Aric Miller, together with Molly Soda curated a project at this years Dlectricity Nuit Blanche festival in Detroit.

net trash is large scale projection of .gif animations compiled from more than 20 artists who use the internet as a medium.

Each artist has submitted multiple animations to be projected in a never-ending waterfall of .gif images falling down a large wall at the Woodward Ave/Warren Ave green space.

Many of these images may have only been presented online, often on the artists’ personal blog or website. We have chosen to physically manifest these images, through projections, giving them a live audience.

As the internet becomes increasingly ubiquitous, it has altered the way we conduct everyday life, including art. Work is increasingly viewed on the web, and even gallery and museum exhibitions are now seen primarily through online documentation. The creation, distribution, promotion and monetization of digital works of art is still very much an experiment and under debate. This project represents just one way these works may be presented beyond the internet.

Artists featured include Vince Mckelvie, Emilie Gervais, Arvida Bystrom, Cindy Suen, Alec Mackenzie, Sassydad, Austin Kinstler, Lorna Mills, Molly Soda, Rollin Leonard, Rafael Rozendaal, Petra Cortright, Jono Mi Lo, Jacob Ciocci, Sara Ludy, Yoshi Sodeoka, Anthony Antonellis, Eva Papamargariti, Terrell Davis, Max Capacity and Otto Splotch.
