I worked at the Banff Centre for the Walter Phillips Gallery from 2004 to 2005 as a Gallery Project Assistant. One of the exhibitions that I helped work on and organize was called Database Imaginary. It included 33 artists, such as David Rokeby and Lev Manovich. I think the website for this exhibition would be of great interest to some. It has lots of links and info.

Database Imaginary

Co-curated by Sarah Cook, 
Steve Dietz, and Anthony Kiendl 
November 14, 2004 - January 23, 2005

Database Imaginary explores artwork and emerging cultural forms by artists who use databases to comment on their uses and to imagine unknown uses. The exhibition contains 23 projects by 33 visual artists from around the world including Hans Haacke, Antonio Muntadas, Edward Poitras, Lisa Jevbratt, and Thomson & Craighead, working in all media, from wooden sculpture to interactive mobile phone-generated field guides.
