“Seth Price’s ‘Dispersion’ is an artwork in the form of an art historical essay. Originally released at a time when the internet was beginning to affect nearly all aspects of culture, it argued that distribution, rather than production, was the primary way in which works accrued meaning, and that artists needed to find ways of harnessing the enormous capacity for meaning-making inherent in communications networks. In keeping with this emphasis on distribution, the work was released in various formats and versions over many years, including pages on Price’s website, widely circulated PDFs, print publications, and sculptural objects. Although it was deeply engaged with the net, ‘Dispersion’ specifically addressed the contemporary art system, and laid the foundation for Price’s move to gallery-based work with an exhibition at Reena Spaulings Fine Art in New York City in 2004. As artists working in diverse media increasingly began to account for the effects of the network on their practice and on the gallery system, ‘Dispersion’ became an influential and widely cited touchstone. It is included in Net Art Anthology in recognition of its importance as both an artist’s critical response to, and intervention into, the workings of the net.” (https://anthology.rhizome.org/dispersion)
