The Dumpster Net Art Project Co-Commissioned by Whitney Museum and Tate Online for 2006 Display

The Whitney Museum's Artport and Tate Online jointly commissioned The Dumpster as an internet project in 2006. This work represents the first of three net art commissions scheduled for simultaneous presentation on both platforms during February and March 2006. Each commissioned project aims to position net art as fundamental to reimagining museums within networked, virtual environments. The collaboration between these major institutions signals institutional recognition of digital art practices. Artport serves as The Whitney Museum's dedicated portal for net art initiatives. Tate Online functions as the digital platform for London's Tate museums. The project timeline places these exhibitions in the early months of 2006. This commissioning program demonstrates how museums are expanding beyond physical spaces into digital realms.
