Date: 12.02.04 From: Francis Hwang <francis AT rhizome.org> Subject: Director of Technology's report, November 2004 Hey all, Here are some of the things that happened at Rhizome this month: 1. Blogging event We had a well-attended panel discussion at the New Museum's temporary Chelsea digs, with lots of great incisive discussion about blogging and the arts, and their intersections or lack thereof. We have video that we'll be putting out soon; watch this space. http://rhizome.org/events/blogging_and_the_arts/ 2. Member-curated exhibits Member-curated exhibits launched this month: Any Rhizome member can curate an exhibit from works in the ArtBase. From peeking in the database it would seem that there are a good number of still-in-progress exhibits ... so, those of you who've been using it, how is it? Let us know your thoughts. http://rhizome.org/art/member-curated/ 3. More RSS feeds: Member-curated exhibits, and calendars exhibit.rss shows you member-curated exhibits as they're opened to the public, and calendar.rss shows you calendar events for the next month.

Date: 11.29.04 From: nathaniel stern <nathaniel AT hektor.net> Subject: Art & Technology, johannesburg Apologies for cross-posting; it's important stuff, I swear. http://www.atjoburg.net/ Inspired by a visit to the Dublin Art and Technology Association (DATA), joburg local digi-artists decided it was time to start a similar organization in Johannesburg, South Africa. Community leaders worked together with WSOA Digital Arts to launch Art & Technology, johannesburg (AT.joburg). With the similar intentions of promoting, exploring, discussing, and exhibiting art and (artists working with) technology in South Africa and the world, our test-run event featured the work of DATA co-founder, Jonah Brucker-Cohen. AT.joburg, although founded by a Wits lecturer, has no base. The events, usually held about once/month, range in space from galleries, to bars, clubs, studios, and the Wits' digital convent and lab. Our presenters are musicians, VJs & DJs, academics, artists, designers, curators, technologists, poets and dancer/choreographers. Our aims are to showcase local work, facilitate presentations by visiting artists, and promote collaboration and dialogue between talents working in varying disciplines, backgrounds and media, at the intersection of Art & Technology. Any event organizer or artist in the Gauteng area can contact us for a username and password, to blog your events on the site; any person may throw an AT.joburg affiliated event - so long as it is in line with our goals, open to the public, and free! We are actively recruiting leaders of the Art & Technology community for participation - both on and offline. We ask you to contribute, and to watch this space - http://www.atjoburg.net/ - for upcoming events! nathaniel http://nathanielstern.com + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome is now offering organizational subscriptions, memberships purchased at the institutional level.

JODI . . . 4 December 2004 to 19 February 2005 Computing 101B is inspired by the very things people hate most about computers: viruses, glitches, pop-up windows. It works on the anxiety and sense of panic that everyday computer malfunctions can cause - the all too familiar symptoms of the high-tech era. The exhibition presents the work of Netherlands-based artist duo JODI, whose work, My%Desktop, earned international acclaim with its premiere last year at the Eyebeam Centre in New York. This "computer masterpiece" features four giant Mac desktops, with windows manically opening and closing as if controlled by some unseen, chaotic force, accompanied by a breathtaking soundtrack of collaged computer bleeps and squeaks. JODI also present a new work, Max Payne Cheats Only Gallery, based on the best-selling computer game, Max Payne 2. Instead of the main character being controlled by a gamer, a series of loops capture him wandering aimlessly, without regard for his mission, searching for the spaces where the logic of the game breaks down. Computing 101B is a touring exhibition organised by FACT, Liverpool, with support from the Mondriaan Foundation and Arts Council England. Max Payne Cheats Only Gallery was commissioned by FACT, Liverpool. SPACEX is supported by Arts Council England, Exeter City Council and Devon County Council. SPACEX, 45 Preston Street, Exeter EX1 1DF, UK. www.spacex.co.uk Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Admission free. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 5.

"Don't delay, call today!" - Ranger Hi all, Ranger and I have heard from a lot of you and well, we're giddy about the worlds you've described to us. For example, some of you told us about mesmerizing badgers, laying in highway ditches, some cave dwellers, being stuck in classrooms or cubicles. First of all, let me say that after MiniKISS*, badgers rock, so respect the furry tail. Second, we realize mobile phones let you make calls from most anywhere and we encourage scouting out new locations but learn from us, don't push up to the front speakers and blow out your eardrums, ok? Last, for those of you trapped in cubicleville or schooltown we're here for you. Just give us a call or go see us online and spare the office supplies and desktops. * FYI: Mini-KISS is back on tour: http://www.littlemanentertainment.com/upcomingshows2.html + + + Mobile SCOUT A mobile phone & web public art project by Julian Bleecker, Scott Paterson and Marina Zurkow Online, and on your cell phone www.mobilescout.org Commissioned for the exhibit, "Database Imaginary" by the Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada Curated by Sarah Cook, Steve Dietz, and Anthony Kiendl Nov 14 2004, Jan 30 2005 Nov 12, 2004, New York : Mobile Scout, a field guide of audio narratives, will launch this weekend on cell phone and web. Using your mobile phone to call a toll-free number, you are guided through a verbal interaction with the Mobile Scout Ranger - an automated quirky naturalist and his foxy Squirrel assistant. Through this interaction, you will leave a voice message describing your local surroundings, characters, or events. As recordings are left by participants, they are instantly made available at the web site, www.mobilescout.org, which structures participantsâ?? interactions in the form of a field guide database. In a new slant on "time based media," Mobile Scout is 3000 participatory minutes long - that's the duration of Mobile Scout's toll free minutes. 'Many internet projects lack temporal shape,' says Paterson. We decided to contrast the anywhere/anytime/always constraint typical of internet projects by limiting ourselves in the time dimension. After 3000 minutes of public participation, the www.mobilescout.org field guide will exist as an archived repository, representative of the time-specific character of the project. 'In this post-election media-scape, where nothing is different but everything has changed, it's critical to give cultural voice to our concerns, observations and celebrations,' prompts Zurkow. Bleecker enlightens, 'Mobile Scout is the first world-wide megaphone in that it takes advantage of the ubiquity of the telephone and the pervasive character of the internet, amplifying, cataloging and documenting these audio moments all around the globe.' Mobile Scout was commissioned as part of the 'Database Imaginary' exhibit at Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff Centre, that opens Nov 13th, 2004 (databaseimaginary.banff.org <http://databaseimaginary.banff.org/> ) The Mobile Scout field guide is available for download at http://www.mobilescout.org/downloads/mobileSCOUT_Brochure.pdf To see and participate in the Mobile Scout field guide go to: www.mobilescout.org/ With Mobile Scout, Zurkow, Paterson and Bleecker continue their acclaimed, experimental 'mapping' project PDPal, which was exhibited in Times Square through Creative Time in 2003-2004, and through the Walker Art Center in Minnesota in 2003.

Commemorating the infamous early-90s case in which U2's record label crushed indie noisemakers Negativland, this iPod is a U2 iPod that comes pre-loaded with lots of Negativland tunes, and some fancy box modifications. Experimental noise content trapped in a corporate megarock shell--oh, the humanity!

You can't get the "U2" single legally anymore ... The rights are, I think, owned by Island Records, and they decided to bury it. I still can't be certain as to U2's involvement case. They'd maintained they weren't involved, when they talk about it at all, but then there's this funny exchange at a 2001 Duke Law conference, excerpted from this write-up ( http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:yvw-YnXuV6kJ:www.law.duke.edu/framed/in dy.pdf+negativland+u2+%22fuck+you%22&hl=en ): "I was confused," [R.E.M. general counsel Bertis Downs] said. He sent a copy of the single to U2 because "they were my friends. I'd do it again." Then he added, "I use your book on Fair Use in my entertainment law course." Video here: http://www.law.duke.edu/pd/mpeg1/public%20domain%203.mpg When I was doing the work for this and chatting about with people I knew, one thing I discovered is that a lot of relatively clueful people have never heard of this case. That surprised me, though maybe it shouldn't have ... + + + steve.kudlak AT cruzrights.org replied: Well it seems to be that way for a lot of people. I know that a lot of people in the Bill of Rights Defense Community don't know of the case of Buffalo Art Professor Steve Kurtz who Federal Prosecutors initially wanted to charge with Bioterrorism for having some pretty harmless microrganisms. They were going to use the Patriot Act to get even more charges. Well that failed and as a consolatrion prize they are trying to charge him and a friend at the Univerity of Pittsburgh with mail fraud. Now in his case it maybe because his lawyer told him to shut up and not talk to anybody. Lawyers do that a lot. The whole case with U2 show the sad state of affairs. I mean it is not like U2 was actually hurt by aby of this. I mean rock musicians on a major label still do make money hand over fist and "indie rockers" U2 are very rich folks. So most people have trouble being sympathetic to them. It would be nice if we could figure a way to reward artists in some way that didn't turn a few people into very rich people and leave the majority of artists in the poor and struggling category. We then make up little sayings like "An artist does his best work while hungry" to assauge our guilt. What is odd is tbat Negativland so throughly transforms the work of those they sample from that they are hardly copying. For me I would hope that artists started by accepting Paypal or something, or putting up little signs that said donations would be accepted at such and such an address. + + + Rob Myers <robmyers AT mac.com> added: On Wednesday, December 01, 2004, at 04:46PM, <steve.kudlak AT cruzrights.org> wrote: >It would be nice if we could figure a way to reward artists in some way >that didn't turn a few people into very rich people and leave the >majority of artists in the poor and struggling category. http://www.tfisher.org/PTK.htm And a slightly different take on the same system: http://www.free-culture.cc I'd be interested to see what Rhizomers think of Alternative Compensation Systems for music, and whether they can see any way of them being extended to art or performance. + + + Francis Hwang replied: Steve Kudlak wrote: > The whole case with U2 show the sad state of affairs.

One of the things I think is interesting, too, is that some people who know about it write it off by saying U2 didn't initiate the lawsuit, so it's not like they have any responsibility. Which comes down to how you conceive of responsibility in the first place. If U2 had no say in the matter, and Island was just doing it on their behalf, U2 is still responsible in my book. Just like I'm personally culpable, to some extent, for the deaths of Iraqi children even though I openly opposed to U.S. policy in Iraq. That's something that's being done in _my_ name. U2 has a chance to fix this: They could, for example, come out strongly for remix rights, and they could compensate Negativland for legal costs, which would barely make a dent in their personal wealth. But people don't expect that of rock stars, because rock stars feed into this adolescent guy fantasy of four guys touring the country in a van, no responsibilities, just free on the open road ... of course, when you're at the level of U2, rock 'n' roll is basically another industry, and every sort of industry has its own toxic waste that it tries to dump when you're not looking. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 9.

Duchamp definitely meant it as art. You really need to remember the context. Duchamp along with a few others was organizing a show of modern art in NYC. Probably the first. Their mission was to allow everything submitted into the show. Well, to be exceptional in a show where everything is accepted you need to be rejected and that's what he set out to do (and why it was submitted under the name R.Mutt). > duchamp was pulling folks leg if he ever said otherwise. it's as > astonishing as bush getting re-elected, that so many people (as this > blurb suggests) were gullable enough to honestly buy such an absurdly > huge farce.

It took a long time for artists to understand Duchmamp and it seems that some still don't. It doesn't matter really what the physical manifestation behind the ideas of the Fountain is -- it's the ideas that are important. The Fountain and Duchamp's other readymades destroyed form and laid the groundwork for conceptualism and it's many offspring. Duchamp is THE watershed artist of the 20th century, not Picasso, not Matisse. Why? Picasso and Matisse, tho very ingenious at creating new ways to make pictures, didn't really abandon the old ideas of picture plane, composition, color: the formal elements of art (this thread in art was carried on from Miro thru to the Ab-Ex painters and 'dying' with minimalists). The great early and mid century painters and sculptures just took those ideas and created new ways to make pictures with them. Duchamp rethought the entire nature of art and with the readymade freed it from physical form. No matter your opinion of conceptualism, you can't say it hasn't had the largest impact on art of any other art movement or theory in the last part of the century. It's hardly arguable that Duchamp and his readymades are the grandfathers of conceptualism. So it's not irrational to claim his most iconic work as the most influential art work in the 20th century. > anyone down-to-earth, in touch, not stuck in their philosophical dream > world, would just say "are you kidding? that's what they said at first. > i don't want your toilet. absolutely, it was rejected from the exhibition. > i'm not that stupid." it's just an insult. The original organizers took it that way, that's why it was rejected. Why can't an insult be great art? He was quoted as saying, 'I throw a urinal in their face and they call it art.' > anyone who makes excuses for it as some kind of ART, is just sticking > a "kick me" sign on their own butt and laughing. it's like the nerdy > picked on kid, trying so hard to be liked, he actually forces a laugh, > so he can laugh with the bullies picking on him.

Why can't an insult be great art? because for art to be a mental exercise it can have it's own word. it wouldn't need funding or displaying. there could just be lists of people's clever ideas published. reading about them is usually far far more interesting than seeing them anyway. the "artist" can bring up all their conceptual points. Maybe art was just usurped. maybe there was art that had skill and aesthetic qualities, that didn't require a thought. But conceptualists took over those institutions and the minds of the new generation of art students. eventually, we are born into a world where art no longer refers to art but actually this conceptualist thing. the conceptualist use the word "art" to both refer to pre-picasso and post-duchamp, switching between the two meanings without even noticing. art was an expression of creativity that integrated a craft/skill with an aesthetic. but that is no longer the vogue. art is now something else entirely. what's odd is that few galleries can really afford to display toilets. they have to bring in the audience or lose funding/revenue. so they have a hybrid version that projects conceptualism onto rembrandts and show contempt for works' physical qualities. you've certainly written proposals for grants, etc. what would these essays have anything to do with whether rembrandt made worthwhile stuff? >> anyone who makes excuses for it as some kind of ART, is just >>sticking a "kick me" sign on their own butt and laughing. it's >>like the nerdy picked on kid, trying so hard to be liked, he >>actually forces a laugh, so he can laugh with the bullies picking >>on him.

No, just a humble urinal, according to a poll of 500 experts. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Charlotte Higgins Dec. 2, 2004 | A humble porcelain urinal -- reclining on its side and marked with a false signature -- has been named the world's most influential piece of modern art, knocking Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse from their traditional positions of supremacy. Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain," created in 1917, has been interpreted in innumerable different ways, including as a reference to the female sexual parts. However, what is clear is the direct link between Duchamp's "readymade," as the artist called it, and the conceptual art that dominates today -- Tracey Emin's "My Bed" being a prime example. According to art expert Simon Wilson, "the Duchampian notion that art can be made of anything has finally taken off. And not only about formal qualities, but about the 'edginess' of using a urinal and thus challenging bourgeois art." The Duchamp came out top in a survey of 500 artists, curators, critics and dealers commissioned by the sponsor of the Turner prize, Gordon's. Different categories of respondents chose markedly different works, with artists in particular plumping overwhelmingly for "Fountain." "It feels like there is a new generation out there saying, 'Cut the crap -- Duchamp opened up modern art,'" said Wilson. He said that it was "something of a shock" that Pablo Picasso was not top, particularly since, he argued, the artist's cubist constructions of 1912 to 1914 were Duchamp's "jumping-off point." However, Picasso has not been totally erased: "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and "Guernica" were second and fourth in the survey. Wilson said: "'Les Demoiselles' was the beginning of cubism, and cubism was the most influential formal innovation in modern art. This is the single work to which we can pin the origins of modern art." Of "Guernica" -- the artist's unflinching depiction of the horrors of the Spanish civil war -- Wilson said: "Picasso reestablished that art could be modern and still deal with historical events, which had been junked by impressionism." Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Diptych" -- with its resonances of celebrity, death and tragedy -- was named the third most influential work, and Matisse's "The Red Studio," the fifth. Extraordinarily, however, not a single artist put Matisse among his or her top choices. "Today's artists expect art to contain some social or political comment, even if that's very indirect," said Wilson. "Matisse said that his art was like an armchair into which one sinks at the end of the day -- it's a sort of pure sensuousness that artists today don't warm to." And the rest of the top 10: 6) Joseph Beuys, "I Like America and America Likes Me," 7) Constantin Brancusi, "Endless Column," Jackson Pollock, "One: No. 31," 9) Donald Judd, "100 Untitled Works in Mill Aluminum" and 10) Henry Moore, "Reclining Figure" (1929). + + + Jim Andrews replied: journalism from salon.com on a poll commissioned by the sponsor of the Turner prize of art 'experts' on 'the most influential' artists. inquiring minds want to know, obviously. + + + M.River replied: > inquiring minds want to know, obviously.
