EXHIBITIONS

II.01.
Exhibitions at Le Fresnoy, Centre National de la Photographie and
Musée d'Art Moderne de Lille Métropole
September 21 - December 1, 2002
3 exhibitions, both curated by Régis Durand; they will take place
simultaneously at the three institutions. The project aims as showing
the complex and fruitful relationship between these two forms of
expression (Image and text) Which bringing together gives an
extremely productive reflection scheme. The history of this
relationship oscillates between the allegation of their irreducible
differences - images belonging to a different order than language -
and the study of their convergent and complementary elements, which
are as obvious as their differences.
Each place, according to its own specificity, will be showing one or
several aspects of the theme. In the Centre National de la
Photographie, each artist will represent one possible approach of
this text-image relationship. In Le Fresnoy, there will be works
having a link with cinema and video installation. In the Musée d'Art
Moderne, it will be a thematic and historical approach.

First exhibition at ICC to show the condition and relation of
software and art: "Art.Bit collection"
June 21 (Fri) - August 11 (Sun), 2002
10:00am-6:00pm
closed: Mondays, August 4 (Sun)
Venue: NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC] Gallery A, B
http://www.art-bit.jp/
In the art world, a work of art is called an "art piece." The word
"piece" designates a thing that actually exists, but since software
creations exist only as binary data, calling them an "art piece"
doesn't suit well. Substituting "bit" for "piece," we have decided to
call such a work an "art bit."
The "Art.Bit Collection" exhibit brings together and displays works
that explore software possibilities in this sense -- programming
language (especially visual programming language and language
environment software for computer music), network community (software
available on the Internet for creating and exhibiting artwork),
software for visualization for the World Wide Web, new application
software, and interactive works. Although we cannot perhaps say that
these art bits have as yet evolved into major works in this sense, we
can say that each of them contains a "bit of art" that shows
extraordinary creativity.

Netherlands Institute for Media Art, Montevideo/TBA
The Pleasure of Language
August 24 - September 28 2002
Opening: August 24, 17.00 hrs
Brandon LaBelle, Péter Frucht, MEZ (Mary Anne Breeze), Netochka
Nezvanova & Jaine Evans, Imogen Stidworthy
The popularity of chatrooms on the internet and the speed of
electronic mail have led to an enormous growth in communication, and
with it, changes in the use of language and the creation of countless
vernaculars. The Netherlands Media Art Institute organises from
August 24 untill September 28 The Pleasure of Language. In this
exhibition the artists are concerned with language in various
manners. By employing new technologies a number of works
reflect the body of thought and ways of working of artists at the
beginning of the last century - like Hugo Ball, Marcel Duchamp and
Theo van Doesburg -, placing these ideas in a contemporary
perspective. The artists respond through image, text and sound to and
participate in the ways language-use as well as the communication
process are changing.

of Mars, obtained by the Sojourner Rover (Remotely Operated Vehicular
Robot) in NASA's 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, combined with
Gilliam's own video work and other found imagery. By creating an
entirely new Martian landscape, Gilliam raises questions about
telerobotic technology and the authenticity of information that is
disseminated over time and space. Organized by Mark Tribe,

Ojo de Liebre. Artworks with Global Technologies by Andrea di Castro
http://www.imagia.com.mx/graficae.htm
This is an ongoing project by Mexican artist Andrea di Castro that is
creating a layer of virtual drawings around the earth following the
movement of the artist wherever he might be. The artist's movement
becomes the drawing. Creating his own air, sea and land paths by
using nature as canvas. Also, for the plot the artist can take
advantage of highways, lake contours, seashores, rivers, etc. Using
global technologies such as Internet and GPS (Global Positioning
System) that allows a very precise register of the paths into visible
shapes, a series of large scale virtual drawings, measuring several
miles in size are being made.
The progress of the project can be appreciated in real time by data
transmitted from their points of origin to museum and gallery spaces
to be seen in computer screens or transferred via plotters into
prints. In this site you can watch the development and the final
graphics of the plots.
Di Castro's work has been exhibited at the Centro de Imagen in Mexico
City these past months.

the subject of "self", and welcome various interpretations of the
term. possible topics include, but should not be limited to "the

ideas relating to subjectivity and identity politics, social language
behavior such as im/politeness and its effects on 'self'; identity
play in different media, the contextual variability and multiplicity

Dataland
http://dataland.ping.ca
As Internet media mature the focus of their development shifts away
from visual design towards underlying content relationships and
behavior logic. In this new paradigm content becomes more fluid and
malleable - originating from many sources, moving in multiple
directions, temporarily assembling in one context, then dissolving
and reforming again in another. The emergence of this new dynamic
carries with it great implications for artmaking.
On one level art can be seen as an expression of relationships
between ideas through which it explores personal and social contexts,
questions popular assumptions and raises critical concerns. This view
resonates well with a technical model which combines the responsive
nature of software with relational database structures and the
communication capabilities of the Internet. As a new production
framework, it offers artists endless opportunities to create dynamic,
interactive work imbued with behavior, association and memory which
reaches a global audience.
The art sites in the dataland programme were produced during an
extended workshop which explored these key capabilities. Each site
transforms technical constructs into a personal reflection on such
basic human concerns as behavior, identity, memory, relationships,
community and social control. They demand the participation of you,
the audience, to bring them to life and create the dialogue
anticipated in the sculpting of their social spaces. They are waiting
for you online, patiently.

DIFFUSION eBooks are PDF files designed to be downloaded, printed out
and made into booklets by the reader -a simple and effective mode of
publishing that bypasses many of the problems encountered by small
presses and specialist publishers. The DIFFUSION format challenges
conventions of interactivity -blending the physical and the virtual
and breaking the dominance of mouse and screen as the primary forms
of human computer interaction.
DIFFUSION eBooks are free to download and distribute ƒ…electronically
or as material objects.
The Landscape &Identity;Language &Territory eBooks and Creative Labs
are a demonstration of the possibilities for collaborations between
the arts, academia and civil society organisations using new media
and technology.They aim to extend understandings and establish models
of how artists and designers creative use of technologies can link
and strengthen cultural and civil society agendas.
LILT is part of SoMa's Liquid Geography research theme.

The Videobrasil Authors Collection Project
The Videobrasil Authors Collection Project fills a unique gap in the
memory and reference of electronic art in Brazil. Launched in 2000,
sponsored by the Dutch foundation Prince Claus Fund, in partnership
with SESC São Paulo, it brings a series of documentaries that record
in an original way the life and career of contemporary artists who
have unquestionably contributed to the debate and advance of the
electronic arts. "Certain Doubts of William Kentridge" and "Rafael
França, Work as Testament" are the first two titles; the third
documentary is already in production , directed by Alex Gabassi,
Fabiana Werneck and Marco Del Fiol. Release is planned for October
this year.
The chosen artists are the duo Maurício Dias & Walter Riedweg, who
have been exhibiting in biennials and shows around the world,
such as Artecidade Zona Leste, the 25th São Paulo Biennale and both
Venice and Istanbul Biennials, in 1999.
Associação Cultural Videobrasil is a non-profit organisation, which
puts forward events and projects in order to expand the artistic
possibilities within the panorama of electronic arts in the Southern
Hemisphere. It promotes the creation of multimedia works,
performances, seminars and screenings in video projection rooms,
galleries and museums. It undertakes every two years the VIDEOBRASIL
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC ART FESTIVAL and produces annually
documentaries for the VIDEOBRASIL AUTHORS COLLECTION series.
