"Pleix compiled images from 1609 outdoor live webcams around the world, recording one frame every 10 minutes during a 24-hour span in January 2004. The images were then arranged within a grid based on their geographical locations, and replayed, thus creating a global map composed of synchronized video. Camera zooms and pans navigate between the macro and micro views".

A VERNACULAR WEB - THE INDIGENOUS AND THE BARBARIANS

2005-11-18T11:48:00.000Z

When I started to work on the World Wide Web I made a few nice things that were special, different and fresh. They were very different from what was on the web in the mid 90's.

I'll start with a statement like this, not to show off my contribution, but in order to stress that -- although I consider myself to be an early adopter -- I came late enough to enjoy and prosper from the "benefits of civilization". There was a pre-existing environment; a structural, visual and acoustic culture you could play around with, a culture you could break. There was a world of options and one of the options was to be different.

REMIX AND REMIXABILITY

2005-11-16T11:08:00.000Z

"The dramatic increase in quantity of information greatly speeded up by
Internet has been accompanied by another fundamental development. Imagine
water running down a mountain. If the quantity of water keeps continuously
increasing, it will find numerous new paths and these paths will keep
getting wider. Something similar is happening as the amount of information
keeps growing - except these paths are also all connected to each other and
they go in all directions; up, down, sideways. Here are some of these new
paths which facilitate movement of information between people, listed in no
particular order: SMS, forward and redirect function in email clients,
mailing lists, Web links, RSS, blogs, social bookmarking, tagging,
publishing (as in publishing one¹s playlist on a web site), peer-to-peer
networks, Web services, Firewire, Bluetooth. These paths stimulate people to
draw information from all kinds of sources into their own space, remix and
make it available to others, as well as to collaborate or at least play on a
common information platform (Wikipedia, Flickr)".

TUG OF WAR OVER NET TAKES CENTER STAGE

2005-11-15T11:00:00.000Z

"In a day when Internet access is critical to world commerce - let alone casual communication - even a five-day lapse is a hardship. And when one government needs another to let its citizens be visible again on that net, it can be a damaging blow to its own sovereignty, as well as perhaps a matter of national security, even if the cause was a dispute over payments, as in the Libyan case".

IS IT TIME FOR COPYRIGHT TO CHANGE ?

"This is going to sound counterintuitive, but Winnie the Pooh has a lot to tell us about the state of human intellectual endeavour. AA Milne created him in 1926, so he'll be 80 next year. But it won't be until his 100th birthday, in 2026, that the rights to the Pooh characters will finally slip from the grasp of the Disney Corporation, which has protected them fiercely since buying them in 1961".

WARHOL´S TIME MACHINE

2005-11-09T22:44:00.000Z

"The artist's 612 cardboard boxes of junk offer a gateway to the past, the present, and maybe even the future".

"This is so twenty-first century, I think, walking across the Seventh Street Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh on a stupefyingly hot August afternoon. The bridge is one of three practically identical suspension spans built across the Allegheny River in the mid-1920s. Made of steel painted butter yellow, it's a beautiful and poetic expression of the city's industrial past. However, in March it was renamed the Andy Warhol Bridge after the city's most famous postindustrial son. Clamped onto the bridge's cables are a succession of square banners displaying Warhol's blank expression and announcing the new name. And so the bridge has become a strange hybrid of past, present, and future that seems to define this century thus far--a symbol of industrial might retrofitted into an emblem of third-millennium insouciance".

THE CRAFT OF THE WEB.ARTIST:SOME CONSIDERATIONS, POR REGINA CÉLIA PINTO

2005-11-08T11:56:00.000Z

"Much has been said and debated about the craft of the web.artist, but I have never found a paper that organizes or establishes standards for that craft. Ever since I launched my project, “The Craft of the Web.Artist: Some animated considerations,” I have been trying to gather information on the subject. In a paper titled “The craft of the ethnographer, sociological method” (1902) [1], Mauss informs us that documents, witnesses and authentic facts abound, and that a scientist must be a good observer, separating the wheat from the chaff. This is what I have been trying to do, while using my personal experience as a guide. In this article, I will attempt to give a critical interpretation of what I’ve been feeling, reading and observing, in plain language".

BRIAN ENO - 14 VIDEO PAINTINGS

2005-11-04T11:23:00.000Z

"14 Video Paintings is comprised of two separate works (“Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan” and “Thursday Afternoon”) created in the early ‘80s by Brian Eno for art gallery exhibition only. Available for the first time on DVD, viewers are presented with a series of slowly evolving “video paintings,” with “Thursday Afternoon” focusing on the human figure and “Mistaken Memories” on the Manhattan skyline. The music for “Thursday Afternoon” is a different version than what appears on Eno’s album of the same name, while the music that accompanies “Mistaken Memories” comes from two of his acclaimed ambient albums (On Land and Music For Airports) and features an unreleased track. Comes in a deluxe digi-pak packaging with 16-page color booklet and liner notes by Brian Eno".

Para os fans de Brian Eno (e o Jeremias é um deles) aqui fica o aviso, e a possibilidade de comprar o dvd.

" Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist with a background in science. For the last 15 years, he has been evolving a series of wind-powered animals, made of plastic tubes. When these constructions are fed by wind, they set into motion and transmute into organic-looking creatures; or beach-animals as Jansen calls them.
Theo Jansen received the Jury's Special Price in the Interactive Artistival 2005".

Van Anden's inclination to simulate feelings in and between his cybernetic creations combines his training as a visual artist, his career as a software architect and his experience in ongoing group therapy".

Cycling around the streets with radios receiving the broadcast, participants become performers and passers-by become accidental audience members".

"The Generator.x project is a conference, exhibition and weblog examining the role of software and generative strategies in current digital art and design.

"The computer has become an essential tool in all forms of cultural production, and as such it has become the constant companion of creatives everywhere. Increasingly, the computer is both the means of production and the architecture of presentation. In the case of meta-media like HTML and Flash, the software is the medium.

Intrigued by the power of computation and the realization that all digital media are in fact software, a new generation of artists and designers are turning to code as a means of new expression and a way to better control their medium. They have realized that software is not the transparent interface it has conventionally been thought to be. Instead, software is a material that both limits and permits personal expression".

LE NOUVEAU WESTERN

"Believe in me because you have heard a voice."
From a small room, he spoke to her and she listened. It was hours before liberation and the start of a new war. In his letters and illustrated recollections, he described an entire world to her, one she could only begin to imagine. But now that the war is over and he has disappeared, she is not alone in her interest in his world with all its prophetic vision.

A new media narrative, which unfolds in the form of a man's literary remains, "Le Nouveau Western" is a story about the past, which is not yet passed; a mediation on memory and war in the information age.

When the potatoes begin dry out or sprout his disturbing answers will gradually disappear as a sign of fading memory and the text be replaced by heart shaped symbols".

"Tijuana Calling is an online exhibition of five commissioned projects that make use of the Internet to explore various features of the Tijuana/San Diego border region, including cultural tourism, border dentistry, transborder narco-tunnels, vigilante surveillance drones, and the journalistic hype surrounding border crime. Like the inSite_05 Interventions, these projects grew out of a lengthy process of research and investigation. Although all five projects exist online, they adopt a wide range of artistic strategies, from gameplay to tactical literature. As part the inSite_05 web site, Tijuana Calling describes and links to these projects, but the projects themselves exist elsewhere on the Internet".

"The composition of the work is as simple and simultaneously as complex as it can be. Agricola de Cologne holds the position of a creator who is building an Universe of hisown in which most different networking instances are acting. He is creating a specific system, which is based on filtering, associating and linking on different level, starting from his personal view based on specific filters, then by inviting curators, who select artists of their choice, the next filtering and networking level is installed,. The artists who are selected via curating form the next following level. As they may come from different cultural, religious, political and social backgrounds and more than 45 countries on the globe, they are installing a complex filtering system of their own via the artworks and the specific view the art work is based on. Each included art work has and gets a very special meaning in this networking context".

MAX ERNST

2005-10-03T13:30:00.000+01:00

"Locating and mapping the human unconscious was a primary plotline within the braided narratives of modernism, and it fell to the Surrealist painters to represent the inchoate structures and unverbalized agendas of this newly explored dark continent. The texture of the twentieth century is fading in our memory, as the talking cure listens to Prozac and the end of history scrambles not to become the history of the end—but the fortuitously timed Max Ernst retrospective reminded us that conditions of epic urgency surround us and that art is allowed to claim them as its contextual domain".

"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".

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".

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

2005-09-12T10:55:00.000+01:00

" 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"

2005-09-09T09:34:00.000+01:00

"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

2005-09-08T09:35:00.000+01:00

" 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

2005-09-06T09:50:00.000+01:00

"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".

THE GARDEN OF EDEN !

2005-08-25T13:05:00.000+01:00

"The Garden of Eden is the original surveillance state. God creates the heavens and the earth, turns on the lights, inspects everything that he has made and, behold, finds it very good. But then the creation attempts to acquire the surveillant properties of the creator".

Do Paraiso a Thomas More, de Jeremy Bentham a Aldous Huxley e a Blade Runner, este ensaio de Alexis Harley publicado no MC Journal analisa, de uma forma provocatória e inteligente, o tema da vigilância nas sociedades contemporâneas.

Boa leitura.
