Tom Moody announced yesterday that artMovingProjects will open an exhibit featuring his blog May 19th, which has of course prompted the question of how the hell you can sell such a thing. Commentor p.d. has offered “to work out some super complicated per-sale pro-rata profit sharing scheme for contributors during the exhibition,” which already sounds more awesomely convoluted than I care to think about in advance of seeing the answer. Whatever the case, in a perfect world Moody would at least receive some sort of stipend during the exhibition for the work he does. Klaus Biesenbach, head curator of New Media at MoMA meet artMovingProjects.

Thanks for the link. p.d.’s offer to complicate things notwithstanding, sales will be straightforwardly handled: what’s for sale is an editioned disc with the data for the exhibit (html files plus associated files–images, GIFs etc.) and a certificate authenticating the work and the size of the edition. Sorry to get all mercantile on you but since the question was raised…
That is the documentation–the art is the real time performance, explained a bit more in the comments you linked to.
