AKT EINE TREPPE HINABFAHREND

Bewegungsbild

Lotte Schreiber
Videoloop, Re:MODERN, Künstlerhaus Wien, A, 2005
Das Video zeigt die Frontalansicht eines “kubistisch” verfremdeten Frauenakts, der eine Rolltreppe hinabfährt. Die Arbeit ist eine Paraphrase auf Marcel Duchamps Schlüsselwerk “Akt, eine Treppe herabsteigend” (1912) und Gerhard Richters “Ema - Akt auf einer Treppe” (1966). Die Farbigkeit des Videos und die Unschärfe wurden von Richters Bild übernommen, das Moment der simultanen Mehransichtigkeit verweist auf Duchamps Werk. Der Technozentrismus der Moderne wird ironisiert, in dem die herkömmlichen Stufen durch eine elektromechanische Rolltreppe ersetzt werden.
Die Arbeit wird ohne Ton auf einem Breitbildmonitor präsentiert, der im Hochformat wie eine Gemälde an einer Wand hängt. Auf diesem Bildschirm ist ein Endlosloop von DVD zu sehen, wobei kein Bildschnitt erkennbar ist. Durch den Einsatz des Flachbildmonitors wird die Kategorie “Tafelbild” bemüht.

Schon lange vor dem Kino wurden optische Spektakel von Musik begleitet. Die Verwendung akustischer und optischer Elemente zur Produktion von synästhetischen Ereignissen hat ihren Reiz nicht verloren, ja scheint besonders im abstrakten Bereich nach digitalen, computerprogrammierten Bild- und Soundquellen zu verlangen. Seit den 90er-Jahren arbeitet eine lebendige Szene von elektronischen MusikerInnen und VideokünstlerInnen in Österreich kontinuierlich zusammen und macht mit ihren innovativen audiovisuellen Werken auf den internationalen Festivals Furore. Einige der sinnlichsten Beispiele finden Sie auf dieser DVD: SEE THE RYTHM!

Plexifilm — 13 Most Beautiful... Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests
▻http://www.plexifilm.com/title.php?id=36

Released in conjunction with The Andy Warhol Museum, 13 Most Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests features 13 of Warhol’s classic silent film portraits. Subjects include Nico, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Dennis Hopper, and more. Shot between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol’s Factory studio in New York City, the Screen Tests are presented with newly commissioned soundtracks performed by Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips. This is the first ever authorized DVD release of films by Andy Warhol.

Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot nearly 500 Screen Tests, beautiful and revealing portraits of hundreds of different individuals, from the famous to the anonymous, all visitors to his studio, the Factory. Subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong keylight, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film. The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in slow motion, resulting in a fascinating collection of four-minute masterpieces that startle and entrance, mesmerizing in the purest sense of the word.

Songwriters Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips, formerly of the band Luna and currently recording as Dean & Britta, incorporated original compositions as well as cover songs to create new soundtracks for the 13 films.

The 13 Screen Tests included are Paul America, Susan Bottomly, Ann Buchanan, Freddy Herko, Jane Holzer (Toothbrush), Dennis Hopper, Billy Name, Nico, Richard Rheem, Lou Reed (Coke), Edie Sedgwick, Ingrid Superstar and Mary Woronov.

Die Publikation ist Teil des Förderprojekts „Digitale Kultur“ und zeigt vier Schweizer Projekte, die im Jahr 2010 vom Migros-Kulturprozent mit Werkbeiträgen unterstützt wurden:

Die Medienkunstpioniere von etoy erweitern mit TAMATAR 2.0 ihren digitalen Totenkult von MISSION ETERNITY um eine Installation mit interaktiven Skulpturen.

​This was a live performance where I watched TV in NYC, and broadcast it live to the Western Front in Vancouver (via Skype).I also had a glass of white wine somewhere along the way. Yes, that is Erin Brockovich in the still above. The idea here was to do just whatever I would have been doing anyway, except broadcast it across North America to an audience - the ultimate low stress / stay at home performance. - See more at: ▻http://www.coryarcangel.com/things-i-made/not-yet-titled#sthash.CsDH6VVX.dpuf

Get Lost Inside An Endless Loop On Magic-Ring.net
By Emerson Rosenthal — Apr 17 2012

Screenshot from Amandine Ansart’s Odeladelo.

In 1994, early internet archivist and researcher Denis Howe created EUROPa (Expanding Unidirectional Ring Of Pages), the first example of what internet pioneers would come to know as a webring, an enclosed community of websites organized in a circular structure around a certain theme.

While webrings peaked around 1998 with the niche-popularity of WebRing.com, the idea would exist today as little more than an artifact of what a few .net art historians might call Web 1.0… if not for the nostalgic efforts of a burgeoning group of French net artists.

From the Magic Ring central website, “The magic ring is a collection of artists’ websites linked together in a circular structure which is totally decentered and transparent […] we have decided to breathe new life into this format and rethink its interface in a radically different way.”
And radically different it is: boasting interactive projects from premiere GIF artist Francoise Gamma to educator, net, and installation artist Etienne Cliquet, the Magic Ring is a wistful homage to early internet archiving… that just so happens to feature really dope, exclusive net art in a digi-ontological sphere (pun totally intended).

So while your cursor circumnavigates the imaginary magic circle that allows you access to each page, take a brief moment to reminisce upon all the ones and zeroes that have fallen by the wayside. We’ll miss you, WebRings, GeoCities, and Internet Explorer… Now onto something new!

GIF artist Francoise Gamma
Francoise Gamma

The animated .gif has certainly carved out its place in the internet community as an easily-digested piece of media; it quickly delivers a set of images to create a sequence, often on an endless loop. Blogging communities have popularized this format because of its ability to isolate brief, poetic moments in longer film or video files. But Francoise Gamma’s 3D renderings threaten the .gif’s function as a more playful web phenomenon. These animations are odd and uncanny, giving the highly-used animated .gif new — perhaps darker — potential as an experimental art medium.

Taiwan 2.0: Broadcasting The Island’s New Media Art to the World

Schizophrenia Taiwan 2.0 is a touring exhibition of over a decade’s worth of Taiwan’s new media art. Next stop is Transmediale, Berlin’s art, culture, and technology festival. Late 2013, the exhibition hit Russia’s Cyberfest and Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. After Berlin, Schizophrenia Taiwan 2.0 will make a final stop at Instant Video in Marseille, France in late 2014.

On occasion, we may see the work of Taiwanese new media artists, in galleries or by way of online coverage; but, Schizophrenia Taiwan 2.0 seems to be the first of its kind—a menagerie of some of the country’s most significant new media art. It’s also an opportunity for Westerners to see just what’s been brewing on the island nation, since mainland China tends to dominate art and technology headlines.

The works included in the touring exhibit are mostly videos or installations. The artists aren’t enamored with some of the current digital art trends of the West—GIFs, glitch, pixel art, or web art that looks like Geocities home pages on acid. The artists, in one way or another, made works that comment on Taiwan’s unique national schizophrenia: an island nation that is part of but distinct from mainland China, while also a member of the global community through its tech economy, yet somewhat removed from the international affairs of the wider world.
