Hans Ulrich Obrist seems to be everywhere at once. Besides being a curator for the Mus�e d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, he's staging exhibits around the globe - not to mention online. Rather than simply hanging digital art in virtual spaces, Obrist meets the Net on interactive terms. Take do it (www.e-flux.com) - a manual of do-it-yourself instructions for more than 100 art projects, from Yoko Ono's Wish Piece to Pablo Azul's Out take... Cuckoo.

Obrist has emerged as the curator-at-large for a new generation of artists who are digital and interactive - he's packaged exhibits in book form (Mutations, a 720-page collaboration with Rem Koolhaas) and on CD (like his sound installation Sonic City). But that doesn't mean Obrist shuns physical venues entirely. In fact, he's asked architect Yung Ho Chang to develop a new take on the traditional screening room, in Paris. Starting in February, video artists will be forced to think differently about exhibition spaces.
