Abstract:
Setting off from an action research approach, this paper identifies and analyses the staging strategy employed in Copenhagen art group Superflex so-called relational art; a strategy that makes use of the Internet in order to connect people and facilitate dialogue, change, development, etc., in accordance with the general aim of relational art. Following a typology of the arenas that this staging strategy amounts to, the paper finally discusses how concepts of network in relational art become influenced by technology, and vice versa.
