September 30, 2015 Turbulence.org Commission: "How to Look at Artist Networks" by Angie Waller, with Jonathan Butterick
http://turbulence.org/commissions/howtolook "How to Look at Artist Networks" allows you to search 60,280 names in the Google Knowledge Graph to see if they are more closely connected to Marcel Duchamp or Pablo Picasso. Fame has muddied their differences, but not too long ago Duchamp and Picasso signified two distinct strains of artistic practice. Pointing to the two of them as the progenitors of all modern/post-modern art can introduce amusing, and hopefully enlightening, associations: for instance, you might find yourself contemplating the similarities between Sarah Palin's and Duchamp's practices. "How to Look at Artist Networks" is a 2015 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence.org website. It was made possible with funds from the Jerome Foundation. BIOGRAPHY Angie Waller investigates collective longings that endure society's technological advances. Her work combines data mining techniques and analog materials. Her research series, "Unknown Unknowns" (titled after a Donald Rumsfeld tautology), uses databases of web search engine traffic to uncover questions that one may have never thought to ask oneself. Included in this series is an eponymous email newsletter, a growing volume of auto-generated romance novels entitled "Love Unknown," and text-based works on paper. Angie received her B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and M.F.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her work has exhibited in museums, festivals and galleries internationally.
