ERRATA ERRATUM

"The never boring DJ Spooky teams up with the Museum Of Contemporary Art in this Flash toy that allows you to remix artist Marcel Duchamp with suitably poppy-clusterfuck sound and vision. Not hard to draw a nice straight line from Duchamp’s “found object” style of mix art and DJ Spooky’s sonic pallet".

ART OF THE INTERNET: A PROTEST SONG, RELOADED

"Some songs have all the luck. They lead double, even triple lives, meaning everything to everyone, and meaning it passionately.

Last month, Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" was serving both as a protest song against the war in Iraq and as a patriotic ballad. It was (and still is) one of the most requested music videos on MTV. Now, thanks to the Internet, it is a song about the devastation that followed Katrina".

BLOG DEPRESSION

" There is a growing epidemic in the cyberworld. a scourge which causes more suffering with each passing day. as blogging has exploded and, under the stewardship of the veterans, the form has matured more and more bloggers are finding themselves disillusioned, dissatisfied, taking long breaks, and in many cases simply closing up shop. this debilitating scourge ebbs and flows but there is hardly a blogger among us who has not felt it’s dark touch. we’re speaking, of course, about blog depression".

Contributo (pequeno) do Jeremias de Polaroid ao Ombro, para a saude mental dos "bloguistas".

YOU´VE BEEN PUNKED

" A trippy pixelated skull and a playlist of warped samples greet visitors to Screenfull.net, the collaborative blog by artists Abe Linkoln (USA) and jimpunk (France). If you like noise bands, dial-up (their browser-slowing tricks tend to frustrate navigation), or the endurance tropes of experimental work, you'll have the stomach for this noisy, erratic site. Vandalized screen-grabs, animated Photoshop layers, Duchamp references, and grafts of high art and advertising imagery engage both net art practices and the appropriationist strategies of punk, Dada, Situationism, and remix culture".

Bom domingo !

SUGESTÃO PARA UM FIM DE SEMANA

Confesso (não, não tem nada a vêr com o Confess anterior...) que sou um admirador, sem salvação, do trabalho de Regina Célia Pinto.

Entrem neste novo trabalho, e tenham um bom fim de semana.

CONFESS

" Relax. Breathe. This is a sanctuary. It feels good to let go and confess. Catharsis is cleansing. Reading the confessions of others can be eye-opening. Come inside and brush your shoulders off".

Se o que o Jeremias de Polaroid ao Ombro anda a fazer não é serviço público, então não sei o que seja serviço público.

Vão lá fazer a vossa confissão e, de caminho, veja as confissões dos outros !

Bem mais barato que um psiquiatra !

WHERE YOU ARE

"Whereyouare is an experiment in the collective documentation of neighborhoods. I began this project with the idea of documenting my own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, whose quirky and ephemeral beauties are currently endangered by a wave of new development. As with most people, recent events have radically altered my idea of what an endangered or lost neighborhood is, and it seemed right to open the project up for wider use.

Everyone is invited to participate by documenting any neighborhood they love. Those with material from neighborhoods which have now been damaged or destroyed by Katrina are especially warmly encouraged to contribute".

IPod and WITH OR WITHOUT U2

" Even The Edge thinks it's cool to hear a U2 sample on a dance record, but more than a decade since Island Records' infamous suit against Negativland for the release of their mash-up featuring U2´s music and legendary Casey Kasem out-takes ("these guys are from England and who gives a sh_t"), corporate patrollers of intellectual property still occasionally stir up bad press for themselves and provide polemic mileage to artists by targeting otherwise obscure artworks".

"The product below is an unauthorized parody that is being offered for auction by its creator, Francis Hwang. It has not been licensed or authorized by Apple, Downhill Battle, Island Records, Casey Kasem, Negativland, or U2".

9/11 AND "INAPPROPRIATE ART"

"George Negroponte once met an ironworker who had helped dismantle the last remnants of the Twin Towers after the terrorist attack of September 11th, an experience that changed the man’s life in two main ways -– he suffered a disability, and he enrolled in art school. “He is now working full-time as an artist,” Negroponte said. “I’ve heard so many stories about so many people finding the need to have an artistic response.”

Não, não se trata de uma aproximação ao mundo da arte, mas sim da censura aplicada ao mundo da arte, no projecto de reconstrução das Torres Gémeas.

Fascinante artigo, de Jonathan Mandel, na Gotham Gazette.

LEE WALTON & THE PEPPERONI SYSTEM

" All artists have their obsessions. For Andy Warhol it was cows and cans, for Yves Klein it was the color blue, and for Lee Walton it's a little red ball. This tiny, soulless, inanimate object has become the subject of some very public displays of affection, in Walton's aptly-named 'Red Ball Project."

HERMENETKA

"Hermenetka is a project of Net Art that generates fortuitous cartographies from search engines in data bases. The starting point of the Hermenetka project is the Mediterranean view as spiritual scenery of thoughts, as method and search of knowledge. Hermenetka is an acronym formed from the association of Hermes, Greek god of communication and exchange; Net, from Internet and "Ka", a very complex part of the symbolism in ancient Egyptian mythology, Ka represents the consciousness and the guide of the invisible world, the kingdom of the dead. In contemporary era, the metaphor of the "sea between territories" (Mediterranean) embodies in the flows and the exchanges of cyberspace. The proposal of the Hermenetka is to generate plural cartographies of the seas of data that populate the quotidian of the cyberculture. The project is constituted by two types of mappings. In the first one, it is possible to generate a map in real time from topics that gravitate around the concept of th!
e Mediterranean. The second possibility consists in answering the question "What is the Mediterranean for you?". In this case, your reply triggers a research in cyberspace for images and texts that will compose a unique map. The aesthetics project associates remixing, transparencies and revisits the watercolor techniques and collage practices of Robert Rauschemberg. In both cases, the image is generated at random and composed of different sizes and levels of transparent overlaying of images and texts".
