'Tag ties and affective spies' is the title of an on-line-exhibition which presents a selection of Internet-based artworks that highlight different aspects of the Social Web. The exhibition features works by Alessandro Ludovico , Christophe Bruno , Daphne Dragona, Gregory Chatonsky, Jodi, Jonathan Harris, Juan Martin Prada, Les Liens Invisibles, Paolo Cirio, Personal Cinema, Ramsay Stirling, Sep Kamvar, The erasers, and Wayne Clements.
