Research about Internet Art for King´s College London
by juana romero 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

I am a postgraduate student at King's College. My degree is a MA in Arts and Cultural Management. For my current MA I am conducting a research about Internet Art.The main focus is about the challenges that Internet Art has brought to the art world and how the art world is giving value (not only commercial, but artistic value) to this art form. Since one big part of net.art and online culture are mailing lists like The Thing, nettime and rhizome, I would like to start a threat about Internet art to know what curators, artists, collectors and visitors think about the topic. Some of the questions I am working around are: 1. How do you define Internet Art? 2. How do you judge an Internet Art piece? 3. What is that excites you the most about Internet art? 4. What do you think is the most important input that Internet art brings to the art world today? 5. How do you curate Internet Art? What do you look for in Internet Art? 6. Are galleries a thing of the past when we think about Internet Art? 8. Are online platforms for display a way of institutionalizing Internet Art and give this kind of art a legitimization in the art world? 9. How is the art world dealing with the fact that net artists are jumping the ropes of the art world by showing their art without any need of validation? How will this affect your role as a curator? 10. Who collects Internet Art? 11. How do you sell Internet art? Do you materialize the idea? 12. Do you find a difference between traditional artists and Internet art artists? 13. Are Internet art audiences different than museum and galleries audiences? If so, do you think is important to form new audiences for Internet art? How is the art world, or you in your role as a curator, developing these audiences? 14. Are we in the “post-object” era and what does this mean to your role as a curator? As part of my research project I am also making an Internet art piece of my own that will become part of my dissertation and that will be informed by the conversations I have with people about Internet art. If anyone would like to have a small talk over Skype about it I would be thrill to do it I appreciate you reading my e-mail, and I will be looking forward to your response. Thank you so much. All the best, Juana Romero

Juni 2015, um 18.00 Uhr ein. Filmrauschpalast Lehrter Str. 35 D-10557 Berlin-Moabit Was diese Filme insgesamt auszeichnet, ist das Situative; eine Qualität, die zumal damit zu tun hat, wie Georgiou ihre Rolle als Autorin/Akteurin aus einer zugleich distanziert-direktiven wie unmittelbar beteiligten Warte von Fall zu Fall herstellt bzw. einsetzt. Die Filme sind, von Georgiou zwar dirigiert, als filmische Ereignisse offene Versuchsanordnungen.  Hans (Österreich, 1989, 16mm, 84 Min.) zugleich Theaterfilm, inszenierte Laborsituation und, buchstäblich, „Psychokiste“ über Theorie und Praxis des Künstlerseins/Kunstmachens, operiert dieser Film in einer präzise kalkulierten Versuchsanordnung.  Obwohl an einem Set, innerhalb einer bühnenhaft-räumlichen Anordnung situiert, zerfällt das Geschehen in zwei Spielorte zwei lose korrespondierende Handlungsstränge.  Für die Betrachter bleibt die filmische Situation unentscheidbar. Die Inszeniertheit wird zwar offengelegt, gleichzeitig wirkt die „Live“-Dynamik dieses Films insgesamt authentisch.

EINLADUNG Buchpräsentation: „The Birds Cycle“ von Franziska Hufnagel/Perfomance von Brian Reffin Smith
by Kienzle Art Foundation 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

[Image: Kienzle Art Foundation] (https://www.kerberverlag.com/contemporary_art/franziska_hufnagel/product-31…) erschienen im Kerber-Verlag (https://www.kerberverlag.com/contemporary_art/franziska_hufnagel/product-31…) / Franziska Hufnagel, Ohne Titel, 190 x 140 cm, Acryl auf Leinwand, 2014 Einladung Buchpräsentation: "The Birds Cycle" von Franziska Hufnagel / Texte Klaus Ferentschik Mit einer Performance von Brian Reffin Smith 31. Oktober 2014 Beginn: 19 Uhr Liebe Kunstfreundinnen und Kunstfreunde, am 31. Oktober laden wir Sie ganz herzlich zu einer Buchpräsentation ein. Franziska Hufnagel wird ihr Künstlerbuch "The Birds Cycle" vorstellen. Für diesen Abend werden wir die laufende Ausstellung unterbrechen und unsere Räume einer geschätzten Künstlerin aus dem Sammlungsbestand der Stiftung zur Verfügung stellen. In ihrem Buch widmet sich Franziska Hufnagel vornehmlich dem kulturgeschichtlich stark aufgeladenem Motiv der Krähen, der Raben. Diese gleichzeitig düsteren, mysthischen wie symbolhaften gesehenen Vögel scheinen sich bei Hufnagel jeder Kategorisierung zu verweigern, sind befreit, sind sie selbst, they might want to stay and talk to us. Or shit on us. Zusammen mit den Texten von Klaus Ferentschik entsteht ein komisch wie düsterer, spannend wie heiterer, kommunikativer Austausch zwischen Bild und Wort. Klaus Ferentschik wird einige Texte aus dem Buch lesen. Nicht verpassen sollten Sie die anschließende Performance von Brian Reffin Smith: "Oiseau", a nasty Zombie-Pataphysical musical interlude, in conjunction with the BBC. Einen Einblick in das Künstlerbuch können Sie sich auf der Website des Kerber Verlags verschaffen: https://www.kerberverlag.com/contemporary_art/franziska_hufnagel/product-31… Besuchen Sie auch unsere Facebook-Seite – Hier geht es zur Veranstaltung (https://de-de.facebook.com/events/697928386967552/?ref=22). Wir freuen uns auf ein interessiertes Publikum.

Snowden, the NSA, and Free Software – Bruce Schneier and Eben Moglen (video)
by w 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

After Glenn Greenwald first received his stash of secret documents from Edward Snowden, one of the first people he consulted was security expert, cryptographer, and writer Bruce Schneier, who helped him review and digest the documents. A few weeks back we saw Bruce give a briefing on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, where he advised lawmakers to rein in the NSA, and the Internet community to pro-actively design countermeasures. On December 12 2013, as a follow up to his Snowden and the Future talk series Eben Moglen hosted A conversation with Bruce Schneier at Columbia Law School. They talked about what we can learn from the Snowden documents, the NSA’s efforts to weaken global cryptography, and how we can keep free software tools from being subverted. The talk was webcast live via the Internet Society Chapters Webcast Channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Sc6pUR1mA&feature=youtu.be Columbia Law School Software Freedom Law Center http://www.softwarefreedom.org/
