TRANSFER Gallery: Kelani Nichole & Wade Wallerstein

When TRANSFER first started up, there was this amazing community online making art on the Internet. It was an experimental and open public space on the Web. There was something so special about what the artists were doing to push against the trend of platform commercialization and truly thinking about the Internet as this vast open space for exploring ideas in the commons in a public way. This was always something in the gallery's programming, we were pushing against, and dancing between the space of proprietary technology and open technology, what it means for virtual artworks to be more visible, from concept to an experiential perspective. – Kelani Nichole
