My Dispatx

My Dispatx is your personalised content management gateway - it enables you to select, store and manage your favourite content through tags, comments and private collections.

Once you've signed up, you can add finished works to your account from Show simply by clicking on the My Dispatx icon small my dispatx icon . In the Collections area, these items can be seen in a queue of recently added items which you can add to any of your private collections. There's no limit to the number of collections you can make, and they'll never expire.

As content is added to a collection, it is processed by high-speed learning mechanisms. These investigate the many interconnections between this and thousands of other content items available on the website, gracefully constructing a visual representation of these links in real time.

This process is fuelled by human interaction with thousands of pages of content available, and allows you to gain direct access to input from other users - expanding new and non-intuitive associations between projects, authors and content and providing an intensely personal content experience.

Through the organic process of receptivity and adaptation the Dispatx site becomes almost a living entity - a porous, shape-shifting archive adjusting its form over time.

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.
