Kunst-Surfer is a browser add-on project that allows users to repurpose their web-based advertising spaces into an online curatorial platform. The tool will not only serve aesthetic and conceptual purposes, such as questioning and redefining the consumption of (digital) art online, but it will also function as an infrastructure for exposure, promotion and documentation of artworks by Zurich-based off-spaces, independent art spaces, artist-run spaces and platform projects. After a first exhibition trial phase, which will be curated by our team in collaboration with selected off-spaces, the interface will be given for definite periods as a (supported) carte blanche to other art spaces to produce online exhibitions.
