Desde hace más de cuatro años, Dispatx Art Collective ha desarrollado una investigación rigurosa de la práctica curatorial y creativa. A través de ocho colecciones, con más de 100 proyectos realizados en diversos medios y formatos y desarrollados online, más de una docena colaboraciones concluidas y la participacion de unos 70 artistas de 50 diferentes paises, hemos explorado y cuestionado las ricas intersección entre la práctica curatorial y la práctica creativa. Nos hemos enfocado en fomentar una actividad dialógica, buscando el debate crítico en la práctica y teoría, a través de reseñas curatoriales y la apertura del proceso de trabajo de los artistas, a los comentarios de los usuarios.

En la actualidad, Dispatx es una gran fuente de proyectos artísticos que han emergido de esta interconexión y que entre sí, trazan una serie de nodos de discusión creativa a partir de los cuales podemos establecer criterios y discursos críticos para el arte contemporáneo. En un momento en que la palabra crisis ronda con insistencia los contextos de arte, así como otros ámbitos de la sociedad, creemos que nuestra labor debe dar un giro hacia una práctica que provea medios y herramientas de reflexión y discusión crítica.

Durante los próximos meses desde la publicación de la colección Apropiación en la Práctica Creativa, estaremos reestructurando la web, buscando un nuevo enfoque teórico y discursivo, para llevar a cabo estrategias de debate que tengan un mayor impacto en los contextos del arte. También queremos poder compartir más información con nuestros usuarios y llevar a cabo una práctica más colaborativa con otros colectivos que tienen un interés similar.

La sección de Make quedará cerrada hasta que presentemos la nueva propuesta. Les recordamos que tienen a su disposición todo el material de las ocho colecciones publicadas, que

Dispatx is a curatorial platform providing the tools of a socialised internet for the development and presentation of contemporary art and literature.

In Make we show the work in progress of selected projects exploring the current theme. The Studio, a laboratory for creation and documentation, allows the artist to update their work. In Show we present the finished projects alongside given submissions.

All finalised content can be added to private collections in My Dispatx, providing a personalised content experience.

In this short tour we will show you how you can interact with the artists, create private collections, make and organize your tags, and investigate over 100 projects immediately available to you.

Ongoing projects related to the theme in exploration are developed by collaborating artists in the Studio and can be browsed immediately in Make.

The current theme in exploration is Eminent Domain - seventeen projects have been selected and their progress can be seen by clicking on Make.

Users are invited to converse directly with the artists and other Dispatx users via comments and threaded discussions. In this way, you become a part of the artists' creative method - the organizing process that translates creative vision into creative product.

The projects are developed online for five months and are then published in as a finished edition in Show, where we show the finished project together with its development. At the same time, we also publish selected submissions related to the theme.

Content in Show is presented as a linear narrative - constantly running genetic algorithms analyse your behaviour and show the projects in the order most likely to appeal. Adding descriptive tags allows you to move in and out of this order, creating your own individual narrative.

Clicking on the My Dispatx icon mydx icon at any time allows you to customize your content experience by creating and browsing personal content collections. Clicking on the tag icon allows you to interact with available content, creating your own archives and establishing new links between the projects.

Managing your collections is as simple as moving items from the queue to a given collection. Refreshing the schematic shows you how the projects that you've added link to others, allowing you to make new discoveries about the relationships between the different projects.

With over three thousand pages of available content, your collection will update in real time and can be browsed with a single click.

All your tags and comments can be managed through My Dispatx, giving you immediate access to the content you've chosen.

In order to allow you to focus on the content, we've provided detailed RSS feeds for every aspect of the website. From the seventeen Make projects investigating Eminent Domain, to a single project and comments for a single item - we've even provided a feed for you to keep track of responses to your comments.

These free tools are one step away - all you need to do is sign up with your email address and a password, and you'll have access to thousands of pages of artistic content by artists from all over the world.
