A mix of feelings...

This is the texts that inspired White Page Gallery/s.
Well, one of the many is more correct but this one really helped to push the idea forwards.

WPG/s idea is motivated by a mix of feelings, of course related to the wish of evading the social media borders.

I am not against social media but I believe there can be better ways, the #fediverse is one of those. So, one of the main feeling on which WPG/s is becoming is still that of reclaiming our online space and do that elevating the use and purpose of our own websites more than our user profiles.

WPG/s was never meant to be an alternative to social media, but a ground to experience #art online and human relations outside #socialmedia, do not depend exclusively on them.

Errors lead us towards the searching of solutions. Even just this could be enough to dare without fearing of making mistakes. We should value success, of course, but not stick to one solution just because it works. There are always other alternatives to explore. Think in #glitch

Excercise in imagination...and action.

Most people believe that pursing an art career is only worth it if you make money out of it. Now, let's imagine all #art made without making money disappear and only art making money stay. Visualize. Desolation. Now, imagine the other way round. Visualize. Nobody would even notice. Now, imagine artists being paid for the works they make. Can you see happy artists? Well, you should >:-D

This is the truth. Most of the art we see and love everyday was is made by artists that truly believe in what they do, hard work, sacrifice and passion.
It is time that we start to sort out the artists #workrights.

#WhitePageGallery/s is working in contributing to this culture
We are entitled to imagine but we must take action!

@hellocatfood this text explains better what WPG/s is since June 2019 until now “White Page Gallery — Art Curating and Human Values” https://link.medium.com/4kEsj4LI65

@hellocatfood It's a network and community that has as goal that establishing human relations and purse human values through online curating practices. It's about putting caring into curating. Solidarity, inclusivity, accessibility, hospitality, art can influence society for the good with its practices, White Page Gallery/s aims to become one of those good practices. I am well happy to answer your questions if you have some, feedbacks are very welcome.

Building human relations through online #art practices. White Page Gallery/s focus on the social value of artistic curation as its presupposition: the WPG/s network, is based on values such as #solidarity, #hospitality, #inclusion, altruism and mutual support. A distinctive feature of White Page Gallery/s is the absence of hierarchies, gatekeepers and vanity: all those who are part of the #network have, in fact, total and independent decision-making ability. http://www.whitepagegallery.network

@hellocatfood I totally agree. Better get busy in building social relations through art practices experimenting with online curatorial practices. I might introduce you to http://www.whitepagegallery.network

Good first of May to every #digitalartists #online! #InternationalWorkersDay

@w0bb1t how bad sounds that "...at the top of digital art..."!? Is this excess of vanity still triggers people? Hierarchies are still a turn on?The new outside doesn't look that new to me. I believe we need to update our culture, not just our media.

What do you stand for?
Some people are business as usual and they wish to move to higher circles and become part of the #culture of elite and privileges. Some people are business as mutual and wish to make the circle larger and become part of a #network + #community and share resources. It all depends what you decide to stand for.
We are working for a cultural changement in #art and your help could be priceless. You are welcome to join White Page Gallery/s. More here https://medium.com/@Altered_Data/white-page-gallery-art-curating-and-human-values-8f119f4729e1

Computer is ON. Computer is on all of the time. The truth is that I am exhausted. This pandemic made everything more complex, and times are uncertain, the future is not looking bright, but I can not give up now. I am motivated, I am motivational. Do not give up. Times are going to be tough. Work, improve, stay focused, inspire and get inspired, but do sometimes take a rest. Don't put too much pressure on you. Computer is ON, but it's good if sometimes that #Computer is OFF. Enjoy your #weekend!

Concept. Once someone told me that I was naive because I still have hope in humans and that we can change for the best. Yes, I am naive! I never give up on my ideals because they are my vital energy. •
