================================================================== TRAVERSING THE DESERT ===================
A quiet desert failure is an ongoing algorithmic performance by Guido Segni started in 2013 and publicly released in 2015 in the context of The Wrong (again) - New Digital Art Biennale. In its own way, it’s a monumental piece about internet, digital contents, emptiness, time, storage, memory, oblivion and - ultimately - failure. Segni programmed an Internet bot to traverse the datascape of Google Maps in order to fill a Tumblr blog and its datacenters with a remapped representation of the whole Sahara Desert, one post a time, every 30 minutes. The whole performance will approximately take 50 years to be completed, and it consists in the indexing process of about one million pieces of sandy desert. It is still not clear if the audience, the Google’s servers, the tumblr archive or the Internet itself will last enough to see the end. So, be patient, don’t hurry. The desert is coming. http://desert.fail/ure http://quietdesertfailure.tumblr.com ================================================================== THE WRONG ========== A quiet desert failure is also part of “(In)exactitude in science” an online/offline pavillion curated by Kamilia Kard and Filippo Lorenzin for The Wrong (again) - New Digital Art Biennale (In)exactitude in science curated by Kamilia Kard and Filippo Lorenzin Enrico Boccioletti, Emilie Brout e Maxime Marion, Marco Cadioli, Alka Cappellazzo, Mighty KongBot (Domenico Barra e Luigi Console), Marco Mendeni, Jacques Perconte, Antoine Schmitt, Guido Segni, Natalia Trejbalova, Fabien Zocco. ================================================================== INFO & CREDITS ============ Fail/URL http://desert.fail/ure http://desert.fail/url The tumblr archival performance http://quietdesertfailure.tumblr.com Music Fabio Angeli, Lorenzo Del Grande The Wrong Pavillion http://inexactitudeinscience.com Special thanks to Florian Kuhlmann & Digital3mpire ================================================================== [image: Immagine incorporata 3][image: Immagine incorporata 2][image: Immagine incorporata 1][image: Immagine incorporata 5][image: Immagine incorporata 4] -- Guido Segni Imaginary artist www.guidosegni.com www.lesliensinvisibles.org
