Hi Paul,
Geert needs to be more specific and highlight the curators who are 'not'
scared and who have been showing technical artwork such as Furtherifeld
& others - his words are not grounded and are too absolute, they do not
reflect reality...

"The absence at the 2015 Venice Bienale of digital arts and internet
works says it all. Curators are afraid to admit they are clueless and
continue their ignorant attitude towards art that deals with the
digital in a direct matter (while checking their smart phone).
Everyone jumps on the ‘post-digital’ bandwagon because that’s cute and
safe. [...] Curators and critics are more than happy to embrace the
race, gender, even the anthroposcene (whatever that is), but are blind
for the techno-politics of the equipment and media they are using
themselves so intensely. The contradictions are becoming absurd. Video
was the last technology they had to deal with, but then it stopped."
