UM.Wire: Whitney Museum & Centre Pompidou

hello & gruezi wohl! we know y'all are all about the w'leaks at the moment, and so be it - free mr. manning, way to go ++ snd some €$ 2 th leakers // http://www.wikileaks.ch/support.html ! but we also got some of our stuff to share - it's all new content and it is even hosted on an u.s. of a server and we censored it a bit so it would not get taken down & stuff, you know what i mean....we just wanna share before we take off for another production trip to africa (i.e. more as always to come) so, without further ado - here it comes, 2 new chunks of UBERMORGEN.COM work.. one on display at your disposal at the Centre Pompidou (scroll way down for more) && one commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art: . . : CLICKISTAN : . . http://www.whitney.org/clickistan/ Clickistan resides between the 7th and 8th bit of every byte it is ruled by generosity and playful curiosity its inhabitants are honest and filled with life they had been living poorly in an analog diaspora for many years they took some of their remains with them back home to CLICKISTAN. and now.. let's share a few notes from the curator Christiane Paul (thank u mrs. paul!): <cite> CLICKISTAN by the artist team UBERMORGEN.COM (lizvlx and Hans Bernhard) is a work of game art and an homage to the net art of the mid-90s: it invents its own territory—ruled by the click—and celebrates the pixel in imaginative variations. UBERMORGEN.COM are the new masters of Minimalist pixel painting. Transparent pixels are blown out of proportion in order to create graphic shapes and abstractions, while copied-and-pasted scripts are resampled and recombined in order to—in UBERMORGEN.COM’s words—use as many pre-existing pixels and produce as few originals as possible. This latter strategy is a nod to early net art, in which recycling and reproduction of existing information were the artistic method of choice. Likewise, in the spirit of early net art—such as the Form Art Competition organized by Russian net art pioneer Alexei Shulgin in 1997—CLICKISTAN plays with the formal elements of the Web, enticing its players to click away on canvases of radio buttons and flying scroll bars. Players also encounter elements of net culture, such as a reference to the famous 2000-2002 Internet meme “All your base are belong to us,” a broken-English phrase originating from the opening scene of the video game Zero Wing, poorly translated from Japanese. CLICKISTAN’s visual style and playful typography—such as the mixing of upper and lower case—allude to the “dirt style” design of net art before the dot com gold rush—the degraded aesthetic of the hobbyist, amateur, and geek. The work’s title references both early net art’s exploration of the Web territory—in its resistance to traditional notions of ownership, authority, and the nation state—and the arrival of the click as the main paradigm of interaction, overruling previously established norms of dragging and dropping. CLICKISTAN is also indebted to early computer games, particularly the coin-operated arcade games of the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as Space Invaders (1978), Pac-Man (1980), and Donkey Kong (1981), whose pixellated characters were created with great economy of means. The new musical form inspired by early computer games—known as 8-bit or chiptune music and consisting of sound textures synthesized by the computer or video game console’s sound chip—is referenced in CLICKISTAN’s soundtrack supplied by the 8-bit music website micromusic.net. As with other game art projects, CLICKISTAN does not simply create an environment for play that follows established conventions, but instead engages, questions, and undermines them. UBERMORGEN.COM takes a decisively “userunfriendly” approach to many gaming routines: players’ actions do not yield the expected results; some choices are impossible to make, some actions redundant, but, as in “real life,” they all lead to the next level or sometimes even have the same consequences; scores do not necessarily relate to the performed actions in any rational way. Players become aware of their expectations and are challenged to ask who or what created them in the first place. UBERMORGEN.COM’s mode of operation has always been playfully subversive, and many of their projects have addressed the intersections of Internet culture, money, and branding. Their Ekmrz Trilogy (2005-2009) took critical approaches to Google and Amazon. Their Generatorseries included tools such as the Injunction Generator (2001), which allowed users to automatically generate a standard court order—in .pdf or .rtf format—claiming that a website of their choice was operating on an illegal basis. CLICKISTAN’s use of visuals, text, and language reflects the overall tone of Ubermorgen’s work, referencing their website’s home pages (from 2000-2005) as well as the generators. CLICKISTAN is a territory that lies somewhere at the core of Ubermorgen’s work: a game that plays with art and commerce, celebrates the early days of net art and computer games, has an anarchic sense of humor, and only delivers the expected when it is time to pay. http://www.whitney.org/clickistan/ IMAGE: http://ubermorgen.com/UM.Wire/images/CLICKISTAN_UBERMORGEN.jpg </cite> and here comes the other half of the letter of interest to you! (btw the 123th replier/retweeter to this email will win a trip to the nigerian ministery of finance!)... ;; . : : . : Centre Georges Pompidou "RE:MADE" Black n White http://www.ubermorgen.com/BlacknWhite/ "Notre intention est de travailler exclusivement avec le pixel comme idée et comme matériel brut. Le pixel est notre peinture, notre bois ou notre pierre, le langage html notre pinceau ou notre tournevis et le navigateur à la fois la toile et le musée. Nous puisons dans les objets artistiques conceptuels bien connus de Judd, Lewitt, Graham, Haacke, IRWIN, etc. pour en extraire des remakes numériques qui nous servent de règles visuelles." L'exposition "RE:MADE" présente neuf installations – vidéo, multimédia, net art – autour des notions de relecture et de réinterprétation. Neuf réponses distinctes et autonomes laissant apparaitre une géographie des médias et leur capillarité profonde avec notre quotidien. Les oeuvres choisies déplacent, détournent et réinterprètent un matériaux visuel et numérique pré-existant pour mettre en réflexion notre culture visuelle contemporaine et nos représentations. Le Centre Pompidou et Le Palais de Tokyo, avant de migrer ensuite pour Madrid en avril 2011 et Berlin en juillet 2011. Les artistes exposés sont : Christophe Bruno (France), Tony Cokes (USA), Ryoji Ikeda (Japon), Jodi (Pays-bas), Joan Leandre (Espagne), UBERMORGEN.COM (Suisse/Autriche/USA), Manuel Saiz (Espagne), Alexander Schellow (Allemagne) et Antoine Schmitt (France).

The sick movies of Reynold Reynolds
by w 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

THE THING @ WHITE SLAB PALACE presents: The sick movies of Reynold Reynolds Curated by Christoph Draeger Monday, October 18, 8 pm White Slab Palace Back Room 77 Delancey Street Southeast corner of Allen and Delancey Reynold Reynolds was born in 1966 in Central Alaska. During his undergraduate schooling at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Reynolds initially studied physics receiving a bachelor's degree under the professorship of Carl Wieman (Physics Nobel Laureate 2001). Changing his focus to studio art he remained two more years in Boulder to study under experimental film maker Stan Brakhage. Reynolds then finished an M.F.A. in New York City at the School of Visual Arts. Influenced early on by philosophy and working primarily with 16mm and Super 8mm film as an art medium he has developed a common film grammar based on transformation, consumption and decay. Reynolds' depictions frequent disturbed psychological and physical themes, increasingly provoking the viewer's participation and dismay. In 2003 Reynold Reynolds was awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and in 2004 he was invited to The American Academy in Berlin with a studio at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien for one year. In 2007 he received the German Kunstfonds support to develop two projects in Berlin in 2008. In 2010 he will have a eight month residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude (Germany). Program: Burn (2003) Burn is a stunning evocation of those unspoken, unconfronted somethings, those secrets, worries and lies, forming a force which is always a part of the fabric of everyday interactions; at first niggling at the edges, then - provoked by a word or a gesture - suddenly searing through everything and everyone in its path (Belinda McKeon, The Irish Times) The Drowning Room (2001, Reynold Reynolds and Patrick Jolley) "A sequence of domestic vignettes from the sunken suburbs. In the house, the stagnant atmosphere has slowly thickened to liquid. The inhabitants try to carry on as normal but beyond the borders of asphyxiation, communication is limited and expression difficult. Filmed entirely underwater in a submerged house to create an atmosphere unlike any other film.” Six Apartments (2007) Six isolated people live in their apartments, side by side, oblivious to each other and the violent process of deterioration happening to the earth, to them, and their apartments. Secret Life (2008) A woman is trapped in an apartment that becomes alive. Her thoughts escape from her and come to life growing like plants out into the space around her, living, searching, overtaking her apartment, wild threatening her. Secret Machine (2009) The same protagonist from Secret Life encounters an antagonist that is studying her, measuring her body and comparing her to units of space and time. Six Easy Pieces (2010) Six Easy Pieces is the last part of the Secrets Trilogy, a three-part cycle exploring the imperceptible conditions that frame life.

It looks like the history is being recorded but I wonder about the email archive; particularly who owns it since this may be a key point when it comes time to archiving it. Wolfgang, are you the, ahem, proud owner of my intellectual property? (Btw, the delays in moderation do little to facilitate activity on the list. It's like playing tennis by post).

Pirate Cinema Berlin joins THE THING @ WHITE SLAB PALACE

30 Sep '10

Pirate Cinema Berlin joins THE THING @ WHITE SLAB PALACE Mon, Oct 4, 2010, from 8 pm Delancey & Allen (southeast corner) Pirate Cinema Berlin would like to share with you some of their recent discoveries at the margins of documentary film practice. Ferdinand Khittl - The Parallel Street (1962) "The Parallel Street is one of the most mysterious pioneer films of the New German Cinema. It was produced by GBF, a production company for innovative industrial and promotional films and received awards in inter national film festivals. French critic Robert Benayoun called it 'a philosophical thriller, a western of meditation which compensates for a whole year of inevitable manifestations of stupidity,' Jacques Rivette put it on his list of the most important films of 1968. [Pirate Cinema] presents for the very first time this 'unjustly forgotten masterpiece of the New German Cinema' (Martin Brady)." -- Edition Filmmuseum, Munich Gerhard Benedikt Friedl - Did Wolff von Amerongen Commit Bankruptcy Offenses? (2004) "The most remarkable discovery in recent German-language cinema: Gerhard Friedl's first feature is a hypnotic visual puzzle at the interface of documentary, essay film and pulp fiction. On the soundtrack: an unflinchingly 'objective' account of the labyrinthine genealogies, criminal involvements and afflictions of Germany’s economic leaders in the 20th century. On the screen: pans and tracking shots through European financial centers, production sites and landscapes. The sheer depth and crispness of these images is a treat in itself; a transformation into cinégénie of what artists like Candida Höfer or Jeff Wall have done by means of still photography. At times, image and sound are aligned, at others they just miss each other. They invariably suggest correlations. Paranoia? Irony? Can the prosaic, criminal state of affairs of a modern economy be depicted at all? Pierre Rissient, the French film historian, puts the film where it belongs: 'Fritz Lang would have loved it!' -- mubi.com Patrick Keiller - The Dilapidated Dwelling (2000) "The Dilapidated Dwelling ... [is] focused, quite precisely, on the question of the systemic logic of capitalist markets. A television documentary, it was made with the intention, in part, of influencing government policies towards housing. It remains some of the features of the Robinson films, including the journey/investigation format and a minimal fictional frame; however, these aspects are less pronounced that they are in the earlier films. Keiller describes The Dilapidated Dwelling as a 'comparatively straightforward televisions documentary' which he originally conceived as a 'piece of architectural research.' It contains a combination of archival footage and interviews with experts - many academic - linked together by a narration which circles around an investigation into the state and prospects of residential dwellings ('old space')." -- Paul Dave, Visions of England: class and culture in contemporary cinema, 2006 () >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org
