The Unintentional Art of Digital Cultures  Communities: From 4chan to
cam4  beyond…

WITH ARTISTS Natacha Stolz, Ei Jane Janet Lin  Miao Jiaxin IN PERSON

What happens when contemporary Performance Art meets Digital Cultures
online? How is New Media Art conversational? Who is having these
conversations and what are their expectations?

Natacha Stolz performed her Interior Semiotics project at an
exhibtion/event called FOREVER(21) in Chicago, Illinois on March 27,
2010. Stolz uploaded video documentation of the performance to YouTube
on May 8. Then, as Know Your Meme reports, “During the week of August
5th, the video was posted to 4chan. Many more threads were posted and
the video soon went viral.” The collective entity/4chan-/b/-based
identity known as Anonymous mobilized, responding to the video in
various ways including threatening Stolz with violence and rape.
Anonymous posted her personal contact information online to facilitate
these threats, leaking personal photos that Stolz had previously
posted to Facebook while her YouTube video continued to climb in
popularity, at one moment gaining 200,000 views in 48 hours. Stolz
watched within the feedback and feedforward loops of Digital Culture
and responded as all of this activity occurred. Her online responses
complicated and confounded Anonymous, enfolding 4chan into her project
and causing many to speculate that she was in fact ‘trolling the
trolls’ or in other words, entangling 4chan in her performative art
process and practice:

Ei Jane Janet Lin  Miao Jiaxin interact with the online community of
cam4 in explicitly Performance Art oriented interventions. The website
cam4 describes itself accurately as being dedicated to “Free Live Sex
Webcams - Free Live Cams Sex Chat”. Lin and Jiaxin’s performances play
with the expectations and limits of the cam4 community, flowing in and
out of variously experimental erotic, comedic and theatrical moments.
Their collaborative performances have been met with enthusiasm,
attention, dismissal and denial. In particular, their works, although
all performed live and in realtime, are often accused of being video
playback and therefore violating the rules of the cam4 site and
community. This tension between the expectations, realities and
performativity of their projects underscores the complexity of their
relationships to power exchanges in art and pornography:

Natacha Stolz, Ei Jane Janet Lin  Miao Jiaxin will present their
work, discussing the intended and unintended results of their
projects. Nick Briz will facilitate a discussion following their
presentations.

Nick Briz, an organizer of GLI.TC/H and curator/participant in the
Critical Glitch Artware event, will moderate the discussion following
presentations by the artists:

hi Ann + all
Ann, this particular part of yr msg in my inbox was particularly
delightful to me:

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

__ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

to me the questions of if an online identity is or isnt stable, clean,
trusted, etc are always engaging esp in rltn to if this online
identity is an art project

i have written previously on Furtherfield + stated publicly that i
believe Netochka Nezvanova (the nameless nobody mentioned earlier in
this thread in rltn to the new arrival of the Karens) to be the most
important/influencial New Media Artist + Artware Developer of the turn
of the 21rst Century

those comments + sum Media Art Histories reflections on/of those
moments can be found in an unfinished series of posts that i started
last year on my Furtherfield blog

in that unfinished series of posts (which i should finish but drifted
aways from for various reasons) called lists, boards, friends +
feeds, i start w/a comparison/connection to 4chan + in particular the
/b/ or Random channel of 4chan. Christopher moot Poole (the formerly
secretive founder of 4chan) has recently been appearing publicly +
discussing 4chan as a project @ events such as Paraflows 09 Festival
and Symposium, TED2010, ROFLCon 2010, etc... in these talks Poole
defends a concept he is fwd'ing of pro-anonymity in/on online
networks + communities. this position + the range of activities of /b/
+ Anonymous are relevant to our interests

i thin these concepts + activities are complex, conflictual + resist
reduction into clearly definable discursive terms

HALLO KAREN BLISSETTs!!!

what a wonderful turn of online art events :)

Karens, i was vry happy to read yr introductions + invitations. in
fact they were brought to my attn by my collaborator Jake Elliott (no
relations, or mayhaps... distant relations +/or relatives?) in
anycase, this is a fortuitous moment for us, b/c  we agree w/you when
you say that this is: the right time to experiment with openness,
freedom vulnerability on a more personal level

you see, we, have been experimenting w/you also + w/other forms of
radical inclusivity in online art whirlds environments for awhiles
now. our most recent experiment is running now + is called
IN.F3XXX10N.US this is an online art exhibition, organized 
initiated by myself  Jake Elliott, running now from July 1 - July 31
2010 @ IN.F3XXX10N.US a domain which will expire, effectively ending
our control of the exhibition but opening the opportunity to anyone
who wishes to purchase the domain and continue the project in whatever
form they may imagine best. we have been giving away the login +
password everywhere online in announcements + posts since we began
this project:

OUR EXHIBITION EMAIL IS: inf3xxx...@gmail.com

OUR EXHIBITION LOGIN IS: http://www.tumblr.com/login

OUR EXHIBITION PASSWORD IS: N01XXX3F

since beginning less than 2 weeks ago we have been infected by over 30
different artists/identities/projects/accounts etc + we remain up +
running in a realtime stream of multiple collective subjective
consciousness. naming a few identifiable identities would incl:
Anonymous, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, ANON, Rrose Sélavy, 4chan,
dump.fm, TRIPTYCH.TV, Shane Mecklenburger, ARAM BARTHOLL, POP.NET.ART,
René Magritte, Rosa Menkman, maxcapacity, Wolf D. Schreiber,
veterraga, Sian Amoy, The Internet Traveler, kittenglitches,
ipretended, i thought i had a virus, etc...

...or rather in Animated GIF format:
http://static.tumblr.com/11nbn83/lhtl5fxdq/wildcards.gif

TRIPTYCH.TV (AKA jimpunk, abe linkoln + mr tamale) +/or those who may
be representing themselves as  if they are TRIPTYCH.TV have been in
particular among the most active + @ times aggressively active,
participating in partially confrontational but still creative,
conversational + constructive ways. this is what is most engaging to
me personally in the sense of, as Eduardo Navas writes, a complex act
of resampling and reinterpreting material previously introduced, which
is obviously not innovative but expected in new media. in other
words, that we can take for granted as current forms of communication
this ongoing  animated complex communicative social flow/exchange of
media/moments/memes

also, as you mention Identity is now a glitch we are exxxcited by
these glitches + glitches as/in vocabularies @ the edges of encoded
communities as these glitch vocabularies become pervasive affects. or
as we have said before: “The” becomes “teh” and “owned” becomes
“pwned” as mistakes fold into the language, dirty glitch becomes
linguistic atom moving horizontally + playfully rather than being
controlled by linguistic legitimacy. we wrote then that our use of
l33t was an attempt to play rather than render our activities
illegible

but as mez writes we are also interested in the unstable boundaries
between spam + art  Spam Art  the unstable boundaries between
illegibilities online  off

this is a vry engaging hyperthread Karens  we look fwd to you + all
those interested other parties to participate w/you:

Curator of the Borderhack! festivals in 2001, 2002, and 2005.

= LEONARDO SCHOLARSHIP FOR MEDIA ART HISTORIES
The scholarship is planned to answer the critical challenges of the 21st
century, which require mobilization and cross-fertilization among the
domains of art, science and technology by supporting the studies of a new
researcher or artist.

= FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES
(low-residency; English language, international faculty) The postgraduate
program MediaArtHistories conveys the most important developments of
contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists,
artists and curators like: Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL,
Paul SERMON, Edward SHANKEN, Jens HAUSER,Sean CUBITT, Christa SOMMERER,
Gerfried STOCKER, Knowbotic Research, Frieder NAKE, Oliver GRAU and many
others.

Artists and programmers give new insights into the latest software,
interface developments and their interdisciplinary and intercultural praxis.
Keywords are: Strategies of Interaction  Interface Design, Social Software,
Immersion  Emotion and Artistic Invention. Using online databases and other
modern aids, knowledge of computer animation, netart, interactive, telematic
and genetic art as well as the most recent reflections on nano art,
augmented reality and wearables are introduced. Historical derivations that
go far back into art and mediahistory are tied in intriguing ways to digital
art. Important approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology
and the History of Science  Technology will be discussed.

[NetBehaviour] Tobias Bernstrup and Palle Torsson interview - jonCates (2007)

2010-02-15 Thread jonCates
i am currently releasing an interview that i did w/Tobias Bernstrup and
Palle Torsson on the Art Game Studies platform which i introduced here:

http://bit.ly/apCkM8

Bernstrup and Torsson collaboratively created a series of Art Games in the
form of Art Mods called Museum Meltdown from 1996 to 1999. these Art Mods
are among the first of their kind, New Media Art interventions into the site
of their own exhibition which utilize the possibilities presented by First
Person Shooters and level editing. i interviewed Bernstrup and Torsson in
2007 to discuss these Media Art Histories for an essay of mine called
Running and Gunning in the Gallery: Art Mods, Art Institutions and the
Artists that Destroy Them, which will appear in From Diversion to
Subversion: Games, Play, and Twentieth-Century Art, edited by David Getsy.
our discussion is both technical and conceptual, involving questions of
Institutional Critique, site specificity and personal reflections of the
often self-relfexive process of making museums meltdown...

[NetBehaviour] Danielle Wilde @ Upgrade! Chicago TUES FEB 9

2010-02-06 Thread jonCates
Film, Video  New Media and the Upgrade! Chicago present:

Danielle Wilde!
Swing that Thing : moving to move
pairing technology with the body to poeticise experience

…a presentation on Wilde’s New Media Art of “body-worn devices for
performance and play, that encourage people to move in unusual ways”!

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 9th 2010 6 PM FREE

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
MacLean building, Room 1307, 13th floor
112 South Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60603

Australian artist and scholar Danielle Wilde will elaborate an emergent
definition of poetic body-worn devices for performance and play, that
encourage people to move in unusual ways; and a series of non-augmented
devices that explore how we might conceive of and develop technologies that
we can’t yet imagine. By extending the body, mechanically, gesturally and
sensorially we can encourage people to move in extra-normal ways, so view
and experience their bodies from perhaps hitherto unknown perspectives. This
affords insight into how our bodies can move and what this feels like, and
the idiosyncratic nature of personal, corporeal expressiveness… extends the
body with soft prosthetics to remind us of an inner state and encourage
magical thinking!

Danielle Wilde has an MA in Interaction Design from the Royal College of Art
in London, and is completing a practice-based PhD at Monash University,
Melbourne; at the CSIRO, Belmont; and from March 2010, at Tokyo University,
Japan. Her investigation is concerned with how extending the body with
technology might extend our poetic and expressive potential, and what this
might mean. Outcomes include cultural artefacts, as well as tools for
supporting an integration of the poetic in Rehabilitation and Disability –
engaging the body through the imagination and the imagination through the
body to form an emergent, embodied, creative feedback loop that can impact
experiences in everyday life. Underlying these concerns is a pragmatic
examination of the impact of different choices relevant to the development
of physically engaging body-worn technologies, including interface;
interaction; and where the attention of observer and participant might lie
at any time.

[NetBehaviour] Art Game Studies Resource

2010-01-25 Thread jonCates
i am releasing a new + open collaborative/community-based resource on/for
Art Game Studies here:

http://bit.ly/5GdzNL

this list is primarily drawn from classes that i teach at the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago where i have developed the New Media curriculum in
the department of Film, Video  New Media. the list includes works that i +
others have taught, played, researched, written on, developed, screened +
exhibited as well those that have been developed by my students, colleagues,
peers, fellow artists + myself. as such, this resource is subjectively
crafted from my own experiences but hopefully objectively useful as a
contribution to the field of Art Game Studies + Media Art Histories.

the resource will be used in my upcoming course Art Game Studies, a new
Media Art Histories course being offered by the Art History, Theory 
Criticism department + Film, Video  New Media. this course is both an
overview of Art Games as well as introduction to the theories + discourses
of Game Studies. the research for this resource also comes from +
contributes to my ongoing work in this field, such as my essay, Running and
Gunning in the Gallery: Art Mods, Art Institutions and the Artists that
Destroy Them, which will appear in From Diversion to Subversion: Games,
Play, and Twentieth-Century Art, edited by David Getsy, to be published by
Penn State Press.

i am offering this resource freely + openly to anyOne who wants to
contribute to or comment on these histories. i will be revising the version
that i use in my classes based on your contributions + comments. i hope that
artists, academics, researchers + theorists of Art Mods, Art Games, Artware
+ New Media Art (1) in general find this resource engaging + useful as an
open + collaborative/community-based resource that we can develop together,
to help document these emerging theorypractices. (2)

http://systemsapproach.net

1. a note on taxonomies + my approach: in my thinking/feeling on the
subject, Art Games are a subset of Artware (or Software Art) which itself is
a subset of New Media Art. i will use the term New Media Art, as it is used
in the field by authors such Michael Rush in his New Media in Late
20th-Century Art from 1999 or Mark Tribe + Reena Jana in their collaborative
book simply entitled New Media Art. i am also using the phrase New Media
Art as we use it in the Film, Video  New Media Department. When we use the
phrase New Media we refer to time, screen + code based Digital Art that is
connected to the histories + theorypractices of Media Art, i.e. Film Art +
Video Art. we are primarily concerned with experimental Media Art + we see
New Media Art in relation to all other forms of experimental Media Art such
as Film, Video, Animation, Installation, Art Games, Machinima, Realtime
Audio Video, Web Art, Software Art + Free  Open Source Software. i also
take this perspective from two of my own professors, Lev Manovich + Sean
Cubitt. For Cubitt + Manovich Video Art and New Media Art are (respectively)
both hybrid categories of creative cultural work, meshworks of
interconnections that are socially situated technological forms. i am
similarly motivated to understand Art Games in this manner.

2. a note on the contents of the Art Game Studies resource: this resource is
not intended to be comprehensive but rather as i described above,
collaborative + open. not all works in this list can be included in any
given syllabus, courseware, research project, published essay, book, etc.
still, i believe it is very important to openly compile + discuss such lists
in order to respect + encourage multiple parallel Media Art Histories to
develop. in this initial version i have not included many commercial
mainstream or mass market gaming products or services in terms of
chronologies of hardware (i.e. particular consoles) or software (i.e.
specific games). in the cases where i have included these they are primarily
in place to document the development of a genre (such as the First Person
Shooter) or a crossovers between markets (such as in the case of Electro
Plankton by Toshio Iwaii).

[NetBehaviour] ::Curating::Exhibiting::Collecting:: MediaArtHistories, CP

2009-09-27 Thread jonCates
The next MediaArtHistories modules in November 2009 and May 2010 will focus
on Curating, Exhibiting and Collecting Media Art with the best experts in
the field like Steve DIETZ, Christiane PAUL, Gunalan NADARAJAN, and others.
These two modules complete a Certified Program in MediaArtHistories :: fully
accredited with 30 ECTS (post graduate), offered low residency, parallel to
employment, in English. The CP can later be extended to complete the full
Master of Arts program incMediaArtHistories or used as study-abroad credits.
www.donau-uni.ac.at/mah-cp

The November module will start with an excursion to Berlin and end in a
workshop with Lev MANOVICH. The May module will include a excursion to the
relevant Ars Electronica sites and workshops with main players in Linz.

Module 1.  Nov 2-12, 2009
Berlin and Goettweig/Krems

Module 2. May 1-11, 2010
Goettweig/Krems and Linz


The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories opens a passageway into the most
important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned
international theorists, artists, curators and many others. Using online
databases and other modern analysis instruments, knowledge of computer
animation, net art, interactive, telematic and genetic art as well as the
most recent reflections on nano art, CAVE installations, augmented reality
and wearables are examined. Historical derivations that go far back into art
and media history are researched in intriguing ways with media art.
Important approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and
the History of Science  Technology are extensively integrated into the
program.

The MediaArtHistories MA modules are based on the international practice and
expertise in Curation, Collecting, Preserving and Archiving and Researching
in the Media Arts. Thus setting the conditions necessary for wider
consideration of media art works and the integration of new media into the
international contemporary art scene. New databases and other scientific
tools structuring and visualizing data provide the contexts to enhance and
develop new understanding in the histories of media art.

[NetBehaviour] HARDcoded on SAT 2007.12.08 @ EN3MY (FREE!)

HARDcoded :: Digital Punk Magicians

SAT December 08 2007
1 PM - 9 PM
@ EN3MY
1550 N. Milwaukee Ave 3rd Fl. Chicago, IL 60622

FREE + OPEN!

++ simultaneously streaming @

CentroMultiMedia + BORDER
Mexico City DF, Mexico

HARDcoded is an ongoing collaboration between newMedia artists in  
Chicago + Mexico City, that explore the cross-over between digital  
noise, punk, + magic. HARDcoded is a wordplay between embedded/non- 
mailable data sets in software development, like End User License  
Agreements (or EULA) or closed-source proprietary computer  
applications, + the xXxHARDCORExXx ethic of Punk culture. Our  
(artists + organizers alike) approach to reconstruct/disrupt the  
controlled environment of digital technology by breaking these social  
devices with wizardry. Here, wizardry is informed by Tolkien  
references in early moments of information technology + digital  
networking, as well as playfully applying narratives of spell  
casting, enchantment, + fantasy to the otherwise dull architecture of  
cyberspace. This wizardy of course would be nothing without magic.  
This magic, which serves as ironic term with a critical bent, can  
break the spell of traditional methods of cultural communication +  
sharing in an ever-growing oppressive state.


HARDcoded seeks to create a space where ruptures in our digital  
playing field (glitch, noise, + hacked/repurposed material/tools) can  
take precedence over the norms of our contemporary static digital  
landscape. The collaboration borrows from a Punk ethics/ethos + the  
necessity for a sustainable break away from the normative practices  
of commercial platforms. By invoking these ideologies/methodologies  
HARDcoded hopes to provide/facilitate a DIY/DIT network of  
subversion. In attempting to approach this task, HARDcoded wishes to  
provide a social platform of workshops, talks, + performances (and  
hybrids of these three) to enable these fissures to break through the  
veil of our closed-source expectations + reliance.


The Program consists of workshops/talks by ::

[1PM – 2.30PM ]  Alex Ignlizian + Mark Beasley + Cassandra Rosas

Be there online  STREAMING TALK  Curating, Collecting and  
Archiving MediaArt
During the last decades media art has grown to be the art of our  
time, though it has hardly arrived in our cultural institutions.  
The mainstream of art history has neglected developing adequate  
research tools for these contemporary art works, they are exhibited  
infrequently in museums, and there are few collectors. Media art is  
hardly being archived and systematically preserved like ancient and  
traditional forms of art. This loss of data our society is facing  
because of the change in storage media and operational systems  
threatens to result in a total loss of our contemporary digital  
art. Which practices and strategies in curating and documenting of  
media art do experts in the field suggest?


With
- Christiane PAUL, curator for New Media, Whitney Museum for  
American Art, NY
- Paul SERMON, media artist and scientist at the University of  
Salford, UK

CALLING ALL TAGGERS PLEASE TAG NOW

theInternetIsASeriesOfWormholes


the new year is coming on fast, folksonemae. FAST. it’s, what, the  
27th now? fuck i thought it was the 26th!??! WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE  
WHY IS IT SO DARK. time and space seem to be bending in under and  
through one another: near+far, past+future, small+big, cat+dog: all  
intersecting at a single point in 23-D parameter space!


what does this mean for folksonema?
1. The next folksonema screening will be on Friday, January Fifth Two- 
Thousand and Seven - despite the fact that this is not a Wednesday as  
per usual.
2. The next folksonema screening will occur simultaneously at the  
Pilot Light in Knoxville, TN and the Flowershop in Chicago, IL  
through the use of magical internet wormhole technology.
3. You may know that folksonema was inspired by a component of the  
r4wb1t5 series of micro.festivals. The next folksonema will be a byte  
of fruit dangling from the loving branches of its own future seedling  
as r4wb1t5 micro.fest 2007.01.05 and folksonema feed back into their  
pasts+presents+futures in infinite regress.
4. The tag for the next folksonema screening is:  
theInternetIsASeriesOfWormholes.


on friday the 5th of january two-thousand and seven, we’ll watch all  
media tagged theInternetIsASeriesOfWormholes at the Pilot Light and

folksonema is a bi-weekly screening evnt @ the flowershop (2159 w  
21st pl, chicago il), inspired by the `][]P3|\|.|=r@/\/\3.\/\/()r|] 
[ (aka open frame work)` program developed by jon.satrom for r4wb1t5  
2005.08.27. every two weeks, jake elliott propagates information  
about a certain tag to use (ie “ravepartyinaspaceship” or  
“thatrobotatemysandwich”) on sites like youtube, del.icio.us, flickr,  
etc. for each screening, jake elliott scrapes the tagged media  
(images, mp3’s, exe’s, videos, web pages, txt’s, etc.) from those  
sites  screens them in the greenhouse of the flowershop, a space  
inhabited by various artists, projects  public initiatives.
