Art-Domains project date: 27 April 2005
type: art as business system

description: Art-Domains is a project that brings internet domain trading into an art context. It connects the virtual economy of domain names with the physical exhibition space.

For this project, Peter Luining conducted over a year of research and became a domain broker himself, acquiring and trading domain names to understand the system.

Examples include: clementgreenberg.com, leocastelli.com, and others.

The project was presented at Art Frankfurt, linking virtual trade with the institutional art world using a low-tech presentation method inspired by Mel Bochner’s 1966 work.
