Lorna Mills asks Jennifer McMackon 10 questions:
#1 – Have you ever been to the site, VVORK?
#2 – What do you think is going on there?
#3 – How do you think the creators of that site find that range of work?
#4 – What happens to a piece of art when it is extracted from the context of an artists’ full body of work?
#5 – Who are the artists who you know of through only one work?
#6 – What’s the effect of seeing clusters of different artists from all over the world “mining similar territory”?
#7 – What’s the effect of seeing an ever growing archive of contemporary art works without an accompanying layer of critical text?
#8 – If VVORK posts several images daily for the next 10 years, do you still think that certain types of work will never be visible on that site?
#9 – Without a statement of curatorial intent, does selection (inclusion and exclusion) imply a value judgement? Does it have to?
#10 – Why do you think VVORK does it?
»Space Junk Spotting« 2006, is a project composed of mechanical and programming equipment linked to a database at a U.S. government-owned space observatory; this database contains the fullest possible data on the extent of the pollution and presents remarkable scientific methods for determining the position of space junk. In this way, the wider Internet public is offered a folder of information about space debris, which is strewn across the popular three-dimensional interface Google Earth. The tactical potential of this catalogue is the possibility it provides for finding a creative and constructive solution to the problem of reusing material whose position in usable orbits is already determined, without the enormous initial costs that arise whenever rockets are shot into space. By Saso Sedlacek.
»Beggar 2.0« another project by Saso Sedlacek is a robot for the materially deprived in Tokyo. It is made of old electronics and computer spare parts. The original 1.0 was tested in Slovenian shopping malls where it is forbidden to beg, but no such rule was made for robots. The new upgrade version of Beggar robot made at IAMAS institute in Japan was tested in the beginning of July 2006 on Tokyo streets where begging isn’t really a frequent phenomena and where interface communication is ubiquitous.Video.
