Fotomuseum Winterthur is taking the opportunity presented by the institution’s thirtieth anniversary to examine its own collection, with a selection of artworks providing an insight into the museum’s collecting activities. On display are works by a total of 19 different photographers and artists, a mix of well-known names and new discoveries.
The exhibition homes in on the collection’s idiosyncrasies, distinctive qualities and thematic focuses, while also scrutinising museum collecting practices per se. This probing of the collection also looks at gaps and lacunae that are made apparent by the museum’s critical self-assessment and at works that are institutionally challenging.
The non-linear way in which the exhibition is presented highlights the fact that the (progressive) development of a collection is influenced by a variety of different factors. These include the exhibition programme, thematic focuses, curatorial interests, social issues and photography’s own process of evolution as a medium and body of practices.
Both in the exhibition space and through a varied programme of events, the museum provides insights into, among other things, its own origins and the way it cares for its collection. A Show of Affection offers an alternative to the classical collection exhibition and is, not least, an expression of an institutional approach: Fotomuseum Winterthur is eminently (self-)critical – and yet still has a sense of affection for its own collection.

ISEA, a major event on the global electronic art scene, aims to strengthen the dialogue between artists, researchers, engineers, designers and entrepreneurs from the cultural and creative industries who participate in the advances of research and creation. This multidisciplinary event is open to both specialists and the general public.
The 28th edition of ISEA, co-organized by Le Cube Garges and the School of Decorative Arts, took place in Paris at the Forum des images from May 16 to 21, 2023 as well as through an artistic program spread over fifty partner cultural venues throughout France until September 15, 2023.
Following an international call for entries, more than 1400 applications from 70 countries were examined by an artistic and scientific committee of 200 international experts. The theme of this edition is Symbiosis. In this time of global health, ecological, economic and democratic crisis, symbiosis is a polysemous notion that allows us to explore in a transversal and interdisciplinary way the mutations and transformations underway in the digital age, to question the meaning supposedly given to progress, especially in the current environmental and health context, and to imagine possible and viable futures for our planet and our ecosystems.
ISEA2023 was co-organised by Le Cube Garges, executive producer, École des Arts Décoratifs, academic supervision, and the Forum des images, symposium venue.

Convergence — Synergistic Symbiosis between Art and Technology
For the past 10 years, DA VINCI CREATIVE (2010-2019) has put a focus on expanding the scope of arts by supporting the convergence between art and technology. Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC) reorganizes its business as “Unfold X,” which aims at expanding the innovative convergence art platform through the collaboration between convergence art-specialized organizations and corporations.
This has occurred due to the continuous request of creators and producers in the convergence art scene since 2020 to establish a larger presence abroad and to receive support. “Unfold X,” in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will put its utmost effort to contribute to the change and development of contemporary convergence art , uniting science, technology, and art.
The development of cutting-edge technology, which has evolved at an unfathomable speed, presents a reality that demands choices every moment as a strong proposition that rede ines our perceptions and views. This trend is not limited to our daily changes but is exhibiting its divine power by transforming the entire foundation of art and philosophy, which has been based on the solid time-honored tradition to induce a paradigm shift.

This year’s Biennale is held under the theme “Channel: Wave-Particle Duality,” which is a modern-day reinterpretation of the Eastern monistic view of life through the lens of quantum physics. It is designed to invite reflection and dialogue around “I, you, we, culture, and life.”
At the same time, the exhibitions are an opportunity for individuals, who are like particles, to feel the state of wave by becoming part of the whole through “engagement,” “exchange,” and “participation.”

Earthbound—In Dialogue with Nature gathers forward-thinking works that propose alternative ways of shaping the complex relationship between human activities and the ecosystem—visionary approaches that emphasize the need for dialogue through new forms of interaction and consciously intervene in the current debate to initiate change. Created in collaboration with HEK, Haus der elektronischen Künste―a young institution from Basel dedicated to digital culture―and curated by HEK director Sabine Himmelsbach and Boris Magrini, this exhibition demonstrates that precisely where other strategies fail, art can open up new perspectives.
The exhibition Earthbound – In Dialogue with Nature presents 19 artworks by internationally renowned artists reflecting on urgent environmental themes, focusing on the complex relationship between humans and their ecosystems. The works on view span from tentative blueprints to alternative models for a more sustainable coexistence with our environment. They also investigate the use of digital tools in the sustainable treatment of natural resources.

Remix Art: How Contemporary Media Art Forges New Narratives
Hacking Identity—Dancing Diversity opens a vivid kaleidoscope of artistic notions of identity that reflect upon the particular and the universal, the aesthetic and the intellectual, the historical and the futuristic, the human and the non-human. Organized in cooperation with the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, a unique cultural institution in Europe, expanding the original tasks of a museum by combining research, exhibitions and performances, the exhibition is curated by Anett Holzheid, scientific consultant at ZKM, and Peter Weibel, its chairman and director.
Under the heading Hacking Identity – Dancing Diversity, 28 contemporary artworks by internationally acclaimed media artists have been installed throughout the historic industrial building. Video installations, large-scale screen projections, participatory artworks and sculptural objects visualise phenomena related to the dissolution, transformation and duplication of identity. On three floors of the Möllerei, visitors can encounter doppelgängers, avatars, iconic figures from the world of gaming, bizarre sci-fi creatures and surprisingly ambiguous mirror images.

Swissnex in San Francisco is pleased to present Swiss artist Marc Lee’s project Used to Be My Home Too as a key part of a series of programs and events highlighting Ticino, the Italian speaking canton of Switzerland, organized by the Consulate General of Switzerland and in parallel to the Italian Language Week this October in San Francisco.
Lee utilizes Google Earth as a platform to fly viewers globally as citizen scientists to share biodiversity observations through the social network and mobile application iNaturalist. iNaturalist was recently acquired by the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco and has a growing community of millions of naturalist explorers from around the world. Through this format, the efforts of these naturalists genuinely make a difference in understanding the diversity of life and how to sustain it through the unfolding climate crisis.
Marc Lee explains how Used to Be My Home Too engages visitors in a discussion about “how we humans have become biodiverse agents interacting with the most fundamental processes of our Earth.” He continues, “In this experiment, you fly via Google Earth continuously to the exact locations where animal, fungus and plant observations are being photographed in real time and sent to iNaturalist.org.
In addition, taxonomically similar species that occurred in the same country and are endangered or became extinct within the last 30 years are automatically added from the RedList.org. Established in 1964, the Switzerland based International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species.
The Swissnex presentation of Marc Lee’s Used to Be My Home Too will share space with an exhibition of photography by Ticino-based artist Flavia Leuenberger Ceppi produced by the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco. Leuenberger Ceppi’s Swiss Rocks series, which will be displayed on the exterior along Pier 17, shows images of the remote Valle Bavona, which is only accessible in the summer months.
Moghegno – Monterey shows portraits of Californians who originally came from Ticino. First, second, and third generations are depicted in their American homes and places of work, while referencing their Swiss roots. Lee’s Used to Be My Home Too provides a bridge between the two bodies of photographs by furthering Leuenberger Ceppi’’s discussions about human migration and land use by introducing issues related to species extinction, human impact on biodiversity, and what citizens can do to help record a rapidly changing planet.

The Pax Art Award jury is pleased to award Marc Lee (*1969) with this year’s Pax Art Award for an established voice in the domain of media arts in Switzerland.
With his net-based practice he has been a long-standing and important voice within the media art field in Switzerland and he has created a striking body of work. Marc Lee creates impressive and immersive installations that expand through spaces which simultaneously enchant and overwhelm.
Marc Lee’s current works delve into themes of biology, the human body and its relationship to nature. Interactive and immersive, they offer insight into new technologies, such as AI, which set out to solve ecological problems or to cre-ate fictional profiles on social networks. Interweaving social criticism with po-etry, the artist broadens the scope of reflection regarding our responsibility to-wards the environment. Chloé Delarue shows new works from her ongoing TAFAA (Toward A Fully Automated Appearance) cycle of impressive installa-tions simulating future scenarios between fantasy and dystopia. Inquiry into the idea of a virtual simulacrum, self-expression and the fragmentation of how we perceive reality through digital technologies are themes running through this new series of works. Laurent Güdel is concerned with sound analysis, in particular with the context of presentation and dissemination that sound pro-duction involves. His work ranges from more conceptual works, such as the presentation of an audio file found by chance in a recording device, to audio-visual creations consisting of a sample of sounds recorded over radio waves.
Deutsch:
Marc Lees aktuelle Arbeiten kreisen um die Themen Biologie, menschliche Kör-per und deren Beziehung zur Natur. Seine interaktiven und immersiven Arbei-ten reflektieren neue Technologien wie die der künstlichen Intelligenz, die zur Lösung ökologischer Probleme oder zur Erstellung fiktiver Profile in sozialen Netzwerken eingesetzt werden. Indem er Sozialkritik mit Poesie verbindet, lädt der Künstler zum Nachdenken ein, insbesondere über unsere Verantwortung gegenüber der Umwelt. Chloé Delarue zeigt neue Arbeiten aus ihrem laufen-den TAFAA (Toward A Fully Automated Appearance)-Zyklus, beeindruckende Installationen, die an Zukunftsszenarien zwischen Fantasie und Dystopie erin-nern. Die Frage nach dem virtuellen Scheinbild (Simulakrum), der Selbstdar-stellung und der Fragmentierung unserer Realitätswahrnehmung durch digitale Technologien sind Themen, die diese neue Werkserie prägen. Laurent Güdel beschäftigt sich mit der Klanganalyse und insbesondere mit dem Präsentati-ons- und Verbreitungskontext, der mit jeder Klangproduktion einhergeht. Sein Werk reicht von eher konzeptionellen Arbeiten, wie der Präsentation einer zu-fällig in einem Aufnahmegerät gefundenen Audiodatei, bis hin zu audiovisuel-len Kreationen, die aus einem Sample von über Radiowellen aufgezeichneten Klängen bestehen.
Français:
Les travaux actuels de Marc Lee sont consacrés à la biologie, au corps humain et à sa relation à la nature. Ses œuvres interactives et immersives interrogent les nouvelles technologies comme l’intelligence artificielle utilisées pour ré-soudre les problèmes écologiques ou créer des profils fictifs sur les réseaux sociaux. En associant critique sociale et poésie, l’artiste invite à la réflexion, notamment sur notre responsabilité environnementale. Chloé Delarue dévoile de nouvelles œuvres issues de son cycle TAFAA (Toward A Fully Automated Appearance) et propose des installations suggestives, qui évoquent des scéna-rios futuristes entre imagination et dystopie. L’apparence virtuelle, le simulacre, la représentation de soi et la fragmentation de notre perception de la réalité par les technologies numériques sont les questions centrales de cette série. Laurent Güdel s’intéresse à l’analyse des sons, et plus particulièrement au contexte de présentation et de diffusion inhérent à chaque production sonore. Ses œuvres comprennent aussi bien des travaux conceptuels, comme la pré-sentation d’un fichier audio trouvé par hasard dans un appareil de captation, que des créations audiovisuelles réalisées à partir d’un échantillon de sons is-sus des ondes radio.

In the exhibition Infrastructures with the two solo presentations by Marc Lee (CH) and Cäcilia Brown (AU), infrastructures in the sense of networks and processes that enable and control communication, transport and resource distribution are questioned in terms of their material and structural aspects.
In his network-based works, Marc Lee experiments with digital infrastructures of the present and the future that generate and control our information and data networks. Cäcilia Brown, on the other hand, addresses the left-behind infrastructure of modernity in European cities in her sculptural work. Through dialogue, it becomes clear how infrastructure extends further and further into social and political systems of everyday life.

In der Ausstellung Infrastrukturen mit den beiden Solopräsentationen von Marc Lee und Cäcilia Brown werden Infrastrukturen im Sinne von Netzwerken und Prozessen, die Kommunikation, Transport und Ressourcenverteilung ermöglichen und steuern, auf ihre materiellen und strukturellen Aspekte befragt.
In seinen netzbasierten Arbeiten experimentiert Marc Lee mit digitalen Infrastrukturen der Gegenwart und der Zukunft, die unsere Informations- und Datennetzwerke hervorbringen und steuern. Cäcilia Brown hingegen thematisiert in ihrem skulpturalen Schaffen die zurückgelassene Infrastruktur der Moderne in den europäischen Städten. Durch den Dialog wird deutlich, wie sich Infrastruktur immer weiter in soziale und politische Systeme des täglichen Lebens ausdehnt.

With his net-based practice he has been a long-standing and important voice within the media art field in Switzerland and he has created a striking body of work. Marc Lee creates impressive and immersive installations that expand through spaces which simultaneously enchant and overwhelm.
The networked image is central to his work. In his multi-layered configurations of networked communication and information feeds, Marc Lee’s work lets us see the cultural, economic and political aspects of networks. He uses live feeds to trigger impressive interactive installations that invite the user to reflect on their own embeddedness within these information streams.
«Unfiltered», his most recent work, is a site-specific immersive installation centred around the diverse voices of the social media app TikTok. For each exhibition location, new posts, hashtags and user profiles from the local TikTok community are used to generate the input for the room-filling installation. The work reflects on the impact that digital accessibility has on public consciousness, on identity structures and visual aesthetics within a community. With unprecedented and ever increasing access to mobile phones and the internet, have platforms like TikTok become the new town halls? Is «influence» no longer restricted to an urban elite? Can the diverse voices of TikTok shape a truly inclusive, socially conscious future?
Deutsch:
Die Jury des Pax Art Award freut sich, Marc Lee (*1969) mit dem diesjährigen Pax Art Award für eine medienspezifische Praxis von Schweizer Künstler*innen auszuzeichnen.
Mit seinem netzbasierten künstlerischen Schaffen ist er seit vielen Jahren zu einer wichtigen Stimme im Bereich der Medienkunst in der Schweiz geworden und hat ein beeindruckendes Werk geschaffen. Marc Lee erschafft immersive Installationen, die sich durch Räume ausdehnen, die verzaubern und zugleich überwältigen.
Das vernetzte Bild steht im Mittelpunkt seines Werkes. In seinen vielschichtigen Konfigurationen von vernetzter Kommunikation und Informationsfeeds lässt Marc Lee die kulturellen, ökonomischen und politischen Aspekte von Netzwerken sichtbar werden. Er nutzt Live-Feeds als Auslöser für beeindruckende interaktive Installationen, die den Benutzer dazu einladen, über sein eigenes Eingebundensein in diese Informationsströme zu reflektieren.
«Unfiltered», seine jüngste Arbeit, ist eine ortsspezifische immersive Installation, bei der es um die unterschiedlichen Stimmen der Social-Media-App TikTok geht. An jedem einzelnen Ausstellungsort werden neue Posts, Hashtags und Nutzerprofile aus der lokalen TikTok-Community verwendet, um den Input für die raumfüllende Installation zu generieren. Die Arbeit befasst sich reflektierend mit den Auswirkungen, die die digitale Erreichbarkeit auf das öffentliche Bewusstsein, auf Identitätsstrukturen und die visuelle Ästhetik innerhalb einer Gemeinschaft hat. Sind Plattformen wie TikTok durch den beispiellosen und ständig wachsenden Zugang zu Mobiltelefonen und dem Internet zu den neuen Rathäusern geworden? Ist der «Einfluss» nicht mehr auf eine urbane Elite beschränkt? Können die vielfältigen Stimmen von TikTok eine wirklich inklusive, gesellschaftlich bewusste Zukunft gestalten?

Photography has always been a social medium shared with others. But why do we communicate with each other using images? And how do the virtual essences that are photographs change our societies? Featuring works by Moyra Davey, Gilbert & George, Theresa Martinat, Thomas Ruff and Clare Strand, among others, Send me an Image. From Postcards to Social Media explores the development of photography from a means of communication in the nineteenth century to its current digital representation online. Its focus lies on the dialogue between traveling images throughout photography’s 150-year history and contemporary artists beginning in the 1970s who work with both traditional and modern photographic techniques, uses and modes of dissemination.
The book considers the deeper social dimensions of image communication, and the transformation of photography from an illustrative medium to one of the most significant forms of dialogue and exchange today. The works in Send me an Image furthermore illuminate phenomena such as censorship, surveillance and algorithmic regulation, which affect many activities in our data-driven era. Images now shared via social media not only spread rapidly but can also take on their own news values and as “pure” messages may even spark protests of all kinds—often beyond the scope of their original uses.

Fotografie war immer schon ein soziales Medium, das ge- und verteilt wurde. Aber warum kommunizieren Menschen miteinander über Bilder? Und was macht der Umgang mit den virtuellen Destillaten, die ja auch Fotografien sind, mit einer Gesellschaft? Der Katalog zur Themenausstellung Send me an Image. From Postcards to Social Media zeichnet die Entwicklung von Fotografie als Kommunikationsmittel vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zu ihren heutigen digitalen Repräsentanten im World Wide Web nach. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf einem Dialog von historischen Formen reisender Bilder aus der Fotogeschichte der letzten 150 Jahre mit zeitgenössischen künstlerischen Positionen ab den 1970er-Jahren, die sich mit traditionellen wie modernen Techniken, Nutzungsarten und Kommunikationswegen der Fotografie auseinandersetzen.

The EIGENHEIM EDITION #5 – Digital Art Collection, a project by EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin in cooperation with media art association Berlin.
The digital is real. Our everyday lives are significantly shaped by technologies such as the Internet, smartphones and computers. Such technologies are constantly dissolving boundaries between physical and virtual spaces and connecting these spheres together. Art as a mirror of our time uses these media to freshly approach both artistic forms and contemporary discourses. In doing so, the works make us aware of opportunities and challenges, forcing us to examine them on a content-related, formal and technical level.
EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin’s fifth edition box is focused on digital art. In cooperation with the medienkunstverein (mkv), their edition shows the artworks of thirty international artists. The constitutive element of the box is the NFC chip technology (Near Field Communication), which serves as a data exchange point for activating the works on the enclosed tablet. Integrated into individual wooden cuboids, the NFC chips contain the activation links for the respective artworks. If the viewer approaches one of the cuboids with the tablet, the artistic position is displayed and can be experienced on screen. The edition box creates a collective presentation of digital art in an intuitive way and uses different media formats such as video, AR, GIFs or 360° applications, enabling different forms of interaction simultaneously.
Through compiling the individual works, a multi-layered picture of digital art in general emerges. Embedded in a cuboid, each position manifests in analog space. The haptic cubes physically represent the immaterial works. Here, the form refers to the pixel — the smallest image point — and visualizes the digital image’s nature. The surface design is based on circuit board structure, which as an essential computer component is also a fundamental element of technologies today and highlights them as such. In their abstracted representation, the cuboids invite endless combinations and evoke a playful, tactile approach to the artworks. This approach at the same time visualizes the idea of the collective and like a puzzle, the individual works come together to form a larger whole.
Digital art is an integral part of contemporary art. The artists of the fifth edition box deal with the conditions and effects of the (post)digital age on our everyday life, our culture and our society. They reflect on these notions to potentially sharpen the understanding of media and to enable digital art to be experienced aesthetically. A multi-faceted, technological as well as social image of our time can then emerge. The Digital Art Collection sees itself as a testimony to the current zeitgeist, documenting and archiving it in its media nature.
Deutsch:
Die digitale Welt ist Realität. Unser Alltag ist maßgeblich von Technologien wie dem Internet, Smartphones oder Computern geprägt. Sie lösen die Grenzen zwischen physischem und virtuellem Raum stetig auf und verbinden die Sphären miteinander. Kunst als Spiegel unserer Zeit nutzt diese Medien und schafft neue Ansätze sowohl künstlerischer Formen als auch gegenwärtiger Diskurse. Dabei führen die Werke uns Potentiale und Herausforderungen vor Augen und fordern eine Auseinandersetzung auf inhaltlicher, formaler und technischer Ebene.
EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin legt den Fokus ihrer 5. Editionsbox auf digitale Kunst. In Kooperation mit dem medienkunstverein (mkv) realisieren sie eine Edition, die die Arbeiten 30 internationaler Künstler*innen zeigt. Konstitutives Element der Box ist die NFC-Chip-Technologie (Near Field Communication), die als Datenaustauschpunkt zur Aktivierung der Werke auf dem beiliegenden Tablet dient. Die NFC-Chips sind in einzelne Holzquader integriert und beinhalten die Aktivierungslinks der jeweiligen Arbeiten. Nähert man sich mit dem Tablet einem der Quader, werde die künstlerischen Positionen abgerufen und auf dem Bildschirm erlebbar. Die Edition schafft auf intuitive Weise eine kollektive Präsentation digitaler Kunst und bedient sich unterschiedlicher Medienformate wie Video, AR, GIFs oder 360°-Anwendungen, die zugleich unterschiedliche Interaktionsformen ermöglichen.
In der Zusammenstellung der einzelnen Arbeiten entsteht ein vielschichtiges Gesamtbild digitaler Kunst. Eingebettet in einem Quader erhält jede Position eine Manifestation im analogen Raum. Die haptischen Kuben stellen die physischen Stellvertreter der immateriellen Werke dar. Dabei verweist die Form auf den Pixel — dem kleinsten Bildpunkt — und visualisiert die Beschaffenheit des digitalen Bildes. Die Gestaltung ihrer Oberfläche ist an die Strukturen von Platinen angelehnt, die als essenzieller Baustein des Computers ein wesentliches Element heutiger Technologien darstellt und diese als ein solches herausstellt. In ihrer abstrahierten Darstellung laden die Quader zum endlosen Kombinieren ein und evozieren einen spielerisch taktilen Umgang mit den Werken, die zugleich die Idee des Kollektivs verbildlichen. Wie ein Puzzle fügen sich die einzelnen Arbeiten zu einem großen Ganzen zusammen.
Digitale Kunst ist ein integraler Bestandteil zeitgenössischer Kunst. Die Künstler*innen der 5. Edition befassen sich mit den Bedingungen und Auswirkungen des (post)digitalen Zeitalters auf unseren Alltag, unsere Kultur und unsere Gesellschaft. Sie reflektieren diese und schaffen die Möglichkeit einer Betrachtung, die das Medienverständnis schärft und eine ästhetische Erfahrung digitaler Kunst ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein vielschichtiges, technologisches sowie soziales Abbild unserer Zeit. Die Digital Art Collection versteht sich als Zeugnis des aktuellen Zeitgeistes, die diesen in seiner medialen Beschaffenheit dokumentiert und archiviert.

PAID POST by Dashlane — A Case for Keeping It Randome explores the role of randomness in art, science and cybersecurity.
… Marc Lee, a Swiss artist, also makes art for and with the internet. His project “Airport Lounge” shows social media posts sent from airport lounges laid on top of satellite images of airports. Lee doesn’t choose which posts end up in the piece. “I just take the newest social media posts,” he says. “It’s a strict concept. I always start with the youngest posts in the beginning. You never know who is posting what.” Without this randomness, Lee says, “the piece would not work.”
He isn’t interested only in the unpredictability of the internet and art; he also takes what he calls “random walks.” When he’s in a new city, he chooses a random starting point, turns off his phone and simply walks in a straight line. He follows the streets, but doesn’t use a GPS or map. He has taken these walks for six days in a row.
The goal is “to see things as they are, with no target and no plan,” Lee explains. The unpredictable walks shake him out of his routine and help him relax, he says.
For both Pozanti and Lee, random doesn’t mean aimless. “My randomness is very purposeful,” Pozanti says. “I wanted to keep a human element in the creation process, which is intuition.”

The catalogue includes a detailed documentation of the exhibition, a foreword by the curator, Hannah Eckstein, and texts by Ulrike Bergermann, John Brennan and Heiderose Langer on the works of the participating artists Ira Konyukhova, Marc Lee and Lena Polizcka.
Utopias as well as dystopias are profoundly human concepts. The first utopia can be traced back to antiquity and Plato’s Politeia, in which the notion of an ideal society was recorded for the first time in human histo-ry. The term ‘utopia’ itself was coined in 1516 by the English statesman and humanist Thomas More in his novel On the Best State of a Republic and the Island of Utopia. The title already suggests that this work shares as its theme an ideal society in an ideal state. Evidently, both Plato’s and More’s works arose from a humanistic way of thinking that believes in a better form of existence for mankind.
The counterpart of utopia, dystopia, arose in the industrial age, when towards the end of the 19th century the long established belief in the in-evitability of progress – especially fuelled by the rapidly developing tech-nical possibilities – was shaken. Scientific and technological achieve-ments made profound changes to people’s everyday existence, altering their perceptions of an ideal life. Previously utopian ideas had sudden-ly become reality, expanding earlier conceptions of what was humanly possible. But fractures emerged in these utopian ideals: Negative vi-sions of the future, of a mechanized society in which humanity, robbed of its freedom and dignity, lived in totalitarian systems dominated by machines, occurred.

Der Katalog umfasst eine detaillierte Dokumentation der Ausstellung, ein Vorwort der Kuratorin, Hannah Eckstein, sowie Texte von Ulrike Bergermann, John Brennan und Heiderose Langer zu den Werken der partizipierenden Künstler*innen Ira Konyukhova, Marc Lee und Lena Polizcka.
Utopien wie auch Dystopien sind zutiefst menschliche Konzepte. Die erste ‚Utopie‘ lässt sich bis in die Antike zurückverfolgen. In Platons „Po-liteia“ wird die Idee einer Idealgesellschaft das erste Mal in der Mensch-heitsgeschichte schriftlich festgehalten. Den Begriff ‚Utopie‘ prägt 1516 der englische Staatsmann und Humanist Thomas Morus in seinem Ro-man Vom besten Zustand des Staates und der Insel Utopia. Der Titel lässt bereits vermuten, dass auch dieses Werk eine ideale Gesellschaft in einem idealen Staat zum Thema hat. Beide Schriften sind folglich aus einem humanistischen Denken entstanden, dass an eine bessere Exis-tenzform der Menschheit glaubt.
Das Gegenstück zur Utopie, die Dystopie, entsteht erst mit dem Zeit-alter der Industrialisierung. Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wird der für lange Zeit anhaltende Fortschrittsglaube – insbesondere befeuert durch die sich rasant weiterentwickelnden technischen Möglichkeiten – erschüttert. Die naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Errungen-schaften bedeuten tiefe Einschnitte in die Realität der Menschen und verändern deren Wahrnehmung gravierend. Utopische Ideen werden plötzlich Realität und die Vorstellung von dem, was menschenmöglich ist zerbricht. Die Menschen werden von ihren eigenen Realitätsentwürfen eingeholt: Negative Zukunftsvisionen einer technisierten Gesellschaft entstehen, in der die Menschheit, ihrer Freiheit und Würde beraubt, von Maschinen beherrscht in totalitären Systemen lebt.

The metaphor and the reality of the ‹cloud› are omnipresent in our daily lives. It is not only the place where data are stored but also-by cloud computing, cloud gaming, or cloud streaming-the place where the central functions of computational power and auto-learning artificial intelligence have migrated to. The cloud is not a storage folder-it is our super brain. The exhibition project «Stormy Weather» questions the relationship between the human-made clouds of our present to humans, climate and politics.

Dass wir uns so unvermittelt und mit einer solch harten Vollbremsung in einer Entschleunigungsphase wiederfinden würden, hätte vor wenigen Wochen noch niemand vermutet: Unsere wachstumsorientierte, schnelllebige Leistungsgesellschaft wird derzeit geradezu dramatisch vom Corona-Virus ausgebremst, das dabei ein atemberaubendes Tempo an den Tag legt und sich wie im Flug über alle Landesgrenzen hinweg verbreitete. Im Gegensatz zum utopischen Fortschrittsdenken der italienischen Futuristen am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts befinden wir uns heute in einer Zeit des Post-Futurismus, in der die Auswirkungen der Wachstumsideologie zwar noch andauern, Stimmen des Widerstands aber angesichts einer nicht mehr zu leugnenden Klimakrise immer lauter werden und der Zustand der zunehmenden Erschöpfung alternative soziale, politische und ökonomische Entwürfe erfordert. Das spiegelt sich auch in der Kunst.
Hier kann man seit einigen Jahren das Einsetzen einer kritischen Reflexion unseres der Zerstörung überlassenen Lebensraums beobachten. Künstler beschäftigen sich mit den ökologischen Katastrophen und den Auswirkungen unserer Medientechnologien ebenso wie mit Konflikten und Krisen in den Metropolen und thematisieren die scheinbar nie stillstehende Geschwindigkeit unseres Alltags. In unterschiedlichen Ansätzen durchleuchten die Autor*innen dieses Bandes künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen mit diesen Themen und fächern so ein aktuelles Bild der Kunst im Anthropozän auf.

A Ripple in the {Data} Flow proposes a series of urgent questions too often ignored in this age of global connectivity: What kind of self-awareness can users maintain when they are actively, passively, or indirectly accessing data? If data is structured in a rational way, to what extent are we rational when using data? What are the perils of infatuation with the networked world and the many kinds of information, pleasure, convenience, and fantasy it offers? Curated amid the unprecedented human novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,
A Ripple in the {Data} Flow becomes an online virtual exhibition at a time when many events and activities are forced to go online. It thus reflects on how our understanding of reality and virtuality is enhanced by this extraordinary situation.
The artists in A Ripple in the Data Flow reflect on the stages of collection, analysis, compilation, and falsification of data, together with its promises of cognitive fast food, emotional indifference, or volitional expansion. Gregory Edwards, in his representational and abstract paintings, captures Internet symbols that recur in daily life. Huang Guaier + Wang Runzhong’s series of photographs dialectically rethink “seeing” in relation to optics and haptics. Xiang Geng (Sean Fox)’s video installation questions how internet subculture makes assumptions about attention span through the case of TikTok.
Consider also how the panic over COVID-19 was amplified many times by social media, creating uncertainty that ignited anxiety and racism in the real world and online. In contrast, Tao Hui’s video addresses the atomization of society and increased solitude compelled by information networks. Marc Lee’s two installation works reflect on the surveillance industry and the narcissism of selfie culture. Molly Soda’s mirror with the message “Is she real?” plays with online users› obsession with authenticity. Ziyang Wu’s project examines how algorithms personalize online experience through the “filter bubble.” Esther Yijun Xu creates a multilayered world through new media, taking a critical view of social, political, and cultural issues. Finally, Payne Zhu’s automated plugin deals with the problem of bad cookies and Internet censorship.
The videos, photographs, paintings, or installations in A Ripple in the Data Flow question the unprecedented access to human cognition in people’s daily lives. Perhaps the Internet can be compared to black holes in space, surrounded by a flashing vortex of leaked data. Once we have been attracted to its magical aura, it becomes impossible to escape. In revealing neglected network phenomena, A Ripple in the Data Flow engages with the profound influence of the Internet to show the unpredictability of future network development and technological thinking.
MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts is pleased to present A Ripple in the Data Flow, curated by Xinchen Du.

Exhibition Statement
With the development of social networks in the digital age, the world seems to be constantly connected in a huge network, resembling each other. People living in their contemporaries feel closer to the political, economic, cultural and social issues globally and feel more connected than ever before. Networking activities on the internet work as a communication channel that transcends the physical constraints, reflecting voices of various individuals based on real-time community build-up and the commentary culture, and sharing their daily lives and thoughts every day.
The COMO & HAPPY SCREEN exhibition The Quotidian: Same but Different introduces two artworks by Swiss artist, Marc Lee, who focuses on computer programming-based multimedia installations. 10.000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, Mobile App, which allows you to physically experience a virtual city utilizing multimedia technology, connects cities that are far away from each other mapping people’s thoughts uploaded on their SNS. The virtual urban skyline is reconstructed in real-time by posts on social networks. Location-based Twitter posts allow visitors to empathize in a virtual world where they participate in social movements of our time and continuously experience local, cultural and linguistic similarities and differences.

The 20th edition of FILE – Electronic Language International Festival in São Paulo takes place from 25 June to 11 August 2017 at the Fiesp Cultural Center.
In 2019, FILE – Electronic Language International Festival – celebrates its 20th anniversary. The festival’s main focus is to show what is innovative in art and technology, and for the last 20 years FILE’s mission has been to offer the Brazilian public the chance to experience the latest and best of electronic art.
Since the 20th century, artists have sought innovative means of expression through research. From the point of view of artistic production, the interdisciplinary relationship between arts and technology has effectively transformed the creative process and the way art is shown – be it in the public’ relationship with the work or in its relationship with the exhibition space.
Electronic art has been continually developing and exercising a fundamental purpose in the contemporary world, as it seeks not only to innovate through technology but, above all, to represent the diversity of new behaviors within society.
As well as looking back with pride at its own story, FILE 2019 has the honor of celebrating important anniversaries of two icons in the history of art -the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci and 100 years of the Bauhaus. Visitors to FILE 2019 can enjoy a variety of approaches to art and technology through works which make use of electronic language in different ways, from interactive installations and games to animation, GIFs and video art. They are projects which through their innovation and creative potential open up new spaces for living and aesthetic perspectives.
To mark an important moment in this journey, FILE is pleased to offer the public 20 Years of FILE, 20 Years of Art and Technology and invites visitors to immerse themselves in a poetic vision of the new technologies.

The exhibition presents three artistic positions that deal in various ways with technology and the theme of urbanization as well as the linking of real and virtual spaces. Clemens Fürtler’s light installations are image machines situated between sculpture, painting, photography and theater. In their installations, Marc Lee and the artist duo Banz & Bowinkel present two different approaches to the use of virtual reality (VR) technology in art.
Introductory remarks by Michael Stoeber
… At the Schafhof, Marc Lee presents 10 000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, a work originally conceived for the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul in 2013–14 that he has since continued to work on and develop. It is an interactive virtual-reality installation, or VR-installation for short. The visitor selects any location on a world map, be it Kandahar, Afghanistan; Hong Kong, China; or Freiburg, Germany. Immediately images appear, streamed in real-time, that other users have uploaded to social networks. These are projected precisely onto cubes and cubic forms that suggest a city skyline. This is done in such an exacting way it looks as if the images are streaming out of the cubes and cubic forms as screens, which of course is not the case. Among these forms, exhibition visitors direct the images by walking around and moving their heads, while always feeling as if they are part of them.
Visually perceiving the flow of virtual images does not happen frontally like with a cinema screen, but immersively. Identification and empathy, being moved or touched emotionally, if this happens, does not occur via projection, but via the viewers’ active immersion and participation in what they see—like in reality itself. Viewer impressions embody the work’s title concisely and accurately: “same but different.” Viewers embark on a journey where they experience how capitalism and globalization have influenced the look of our cities today, whereas in the past their specific histories and cultures influenced them in different ways. History meets the present.
That homogenization and the number of interchangeable “nonplaces” — to borrow a term from French sociologist Marc Augé — no longer shaped by local identity are increasing in times of global capitalism seems unavoidable. Malls, hotel rooms, airports, highways, suburbs and inner cities look very similar all over the world. Some people like that. They experience hardly any more surprises when traveling, but also no unpleasantries. Andy Warhol loved Coca-Cola because, he boasted, anyone could afford it, from the unemployed to the American president, and because it tastes the same all over the world as it does in New York, where he lived and drank it. …

Eröffnungsrede von Michael Stoeber
… Im Schafhof zeigt Marc Lee „10 000 Moving Cities – same but different“, ursprünglich 2013/2014 für das National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul konzipiert und danach von ihm weiterentwickelt. Es ist eine interaktive Virtual Reality-Installation, kurz VR-Installation. Der Besucher wählt einen beliebigen Ort auf einer Weltkarte aus, sei es nun das afghanische Kandahar, das chinesische Hongkong oder das deutsche Freiburg. Sofort erscheinen Bilder, in Echtzeit gestreamt, die andere User in die sozialen Netzwerke eingestellt haben. Sie werden präzise auf Kuben und Quader projiziert, welche die Anmutung der Skyline einer Stadt suggerieren. So genau, dass es aussieht, als würden die Kuben und Quader als Screens selbst die Bilder ausstrahlen, was natürlich nicht der Fall ist. Mitten unter ihnen, lenkt der Besucher der Ausstellung die Bilder durch Umherlaufen und Kopfbewegungen, wobei er immer das Gefühl hat, ein Teil von ihnen zu sein.
Die Rezeption des virtuellen Bilderstroms geschieht nicht frontal wie vor der Kinoleinwand, sondern immersiv. Identifikation und Empathie, Betroffen- und Berührt-Sein vollziehen sich, wenn sie denn stattfinden, nicht durch Projektion, sondern durch aktives Eintauchen und Beteiligt-Sein des Betrachters an dem, was er sieht – wie in der Wirklichkeit selbst. Die Eindrücke des Betrachters gibt der Titel des Werks ebenso lakonisch wie präzise wieder: „same but different“. Der Betrachter unternimmt eine Reise, bei der er erfährt, wie Kapitalismus und Globalisierung unsere Städte heute gleich aussehen lassen, während sie in der Vergangenheit durch ihre spezifische Geschichte und Kultur unterschiedlich geprägt wurden. History meets Presence.
Dass im Zeichen eines globalen Kapitalismus die Homogenisierung und mit ihr, um mit den französischen Soziologen Marc Augé zu sprechen, die Zahl der austauschbaren, nicht länger von lokaler Identität geprägten „Nicht-Orte“ wächst, scheint unvermeidbar. Malls, Hotelzimmer, Flughäfen, Autobahnen, Vorstädte und Inner Cities sehen überall auf der Welt sehr ähnlich aus. Manchen gefällt das. Sie erleben dann beim Reisen zwar kaum mehr Überraschungen, aber so eben auch keine unangenehmen. Andy Warhol liebte Coca-Cola, weil sie, wie er rühmte, sie sich jeder leisten könne, vom Arbeitslosen bis zum amerikanischen Präsidenten, und weil sie überall auf der Welt so schmecke wie in New York, wo er lebte und sie konsumierte. …

Annka Kultys Gallery is pleased to present Non-Places an augmented reality installation of new bodies of work by the Swiss artist Marc Lee.
annkakultys.com, PDF
Shown here for the first time are four interactive works, each using a mobile app as an interface and projected on to the walls of the gallery.
The artworks explore how globalization creates “places without a local identity” – as described in Marc Augé’s essay Non-Lieux (1992) – and stimulate a reflective attitude based on a novel “immersive confrontation” with the digital society of our time.
On one wall is projected 10.000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, Mobile App (2018). The work employs a mobile app as interface to create a net-based installation. 10.000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, Mobile App deals with urbanisation and globalisation in the digital age. The app’s user navigates through an urban environment of his choice. The landscape is constantly reshaped and redefined by posts on the social networks Freesound, Instagram and Twitter. Here these personal impressions are streamed in real time like windows to our changing world. The viewer participates in the social movements of our time and makes a virtual journey into constantly new image and sound collages in which one experiences local, cultural and linguistic differences and similarities. In virtual space, this information is visualized on cubes that rise at different heights akin to an urban skyline. As such, the work deals with how our cities are continuously changing and how virtual space is increasingly mimics urban space.
On an adjacent wall is presented a moble app game entitled Me, Myself and I (2018). Me, Myself and I questions egocentrism and narcissism as widespread contemporary phenomena as manifest through their most popular, infamous declination: the selfie culture. The digital era emphasises how individuals perceive themselves increasingly at the centre of, rather than merely being part of, society.
In Me, Myself and I the participant floats virtually in a self-absorbed ego-relationship with herself above an urban, futurist cityscape that is continuously regenerated. The user sees herself rapidly projected into the virtual environment countless times, as another way to replicate over and over again her ego. The virtual environment is entirely dominated by her ego as translated by the selfies the tablet takes, that is, by the many images of the user that populate the cityscape. The virtual environment rotates as the user rotates the device with the sky showing as the tablet is moved upwards, for example. By tilting it downwards the ground appears. At the same time, flight direction can be adjusted, as can the flight speed. The sound is responsive and reacts to the movement and flight speed of the user.
In the exhibition, the image is displayed as one reflective projection, offering a kaleidoscopic view of an urbanised cityscape full of egos. This emphasises the impression of a super star but also allows other visitors to participate.
With the augmented reality app 10.000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, AR (2018) one moves between the imaginary buildings using an iPad and participates in the real time digital communication streams and social movements by means of inserted social media posts. Buildings can be destroyed and rebuilt by the users. But beware! Everyone sees what the other is doing from a different perspective. The more buildings disappear, the more creatures appear… 10.000 Moving Cities – Same but Different, AR focuses on how places are constantly changing, language diversifying, plant and animal species are diminishing and buildings, shopping malls and cities are becoming more and more similar. Places are emerging, which could be anywhere in the world, without a real local identity. This process is accelerated by technological progress, faster means of transport and communication, the internet and augmented reality itself.
Finllay, on tablet, Nonplace (2018) points to the loss of identities through technological progress and globalisation and poses the question of what the ever-growing similarity of cities, shopping centres and commodities means.
Nonplace renders visually and conceptually in virtual reality the concept of ‘Non-places’ which Marc Augé describes in his book and essay of the same name. According to Augé: “Super modernity produces non-places, meaning spaces which are not themselves anthropological spaces and which do not integrate to earlier places … A world where people are born in the clinic and die in hospital, where transit points and temporary abodes are proliferating under luxurious or inhuman conditions (hotel chains and squats, holiday clubs and refugee camps, …; where a dense network of means of transport which are also inhabited spaces is developing; where the habitué of communicates wordlessly, through gestures, with an abstract, unmediated commerce (i.e., credit card transactions); a world thus surrounded by solitary individuality.”

Extract: Towards a participatory mode of overlapping realities (PDF)
This book examines cultural participation from three different, but interrelated perspectives: participatory art and aesthetics; participatory digital media, and participatory cultural policies and institutions.
Focusing on how ideals and practices relating to cultural participation express and (re)produce different «cultures of participation», an interdisciplinary team of authors demonstrate how the areas of arts, digital media, and cultural policy and institutions are shaped by different but interrelated contextual backgrounds. Chapters offer a variety of perspectives and strategies for empirically identifying «cultures of participation» and their current transformations and tensions in various regional and national settings.

Immersive technologies, coupled with superior virtual environments, artificial intelligence algorithms, faster processors, and biometrics, are launching a new era in virtual experiences,entertainment and interactive storytelling. At the same time these technologies have the potential for invasive monitoring and control.
What are the present and future artistic strategies that deal with this? Combined with the acceleration of VR/AR and technologies of immersion, how will societies react?
The first chapter of this book ‘re-approaches immersion’ by looking at artistic practices in VR environments, non-linear storytelling in 360-degree video, and brain sensor interfacesused in films and performances.
The second chapter, on ‘technologies of the ecological’, discusses the role of arts in tackling climate change and creating augmentable experiences by combiningdigital with biological. The third chapter, ‘beyond interactivity’, shapes new theories for post-digital practices, while the fourth chapter addresses new economies of virtual experiences and questions artistic values.
The volume also features a review of the exhibition – Virtualities and Realities (Riga, 2017), presenting cutting edge artworks thatexplore complex relations between the ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ in our post-media society, thereby creating new immersive experiences.

Dealing with the pathologies of a digital world
The Internet of Things (IoT), smart city initiatives, and smart home technology are marketed to us as sleek and glamorous 3D renderings promising a convenient and sustainable technology that will save us and our planet from a future of environmental distress. Yet the buzzword bingo of smart city rhetoric, the polished advertisements for networked devices, and the glossy packaging of smart home devices are in stark contrast to the news and research which investigates the vulnerabilities of our connected lives.
The expansion of the IoT and the proliferation of virtually-connected data points are providing ever increasing amounts of information for those keen on use or abuse. The massive implementation of IoT in hyper-connected urban environments, paths the way to technocratic governance and urban development, corporatizing our living spaces into lock-in, hack-able, “pan optic” smart cities. The IoT seems to develop towards an Internet of other people’s things (IoopT), where users do not own their data, agree to Terms of Services that mean their data are then shared by default to third parties, and the risks that citizens rights are managed by technocratic governance or cyber criminals attacking critical infrastructures are always present.
In this cyberwar of ideas, an asymmetric battle for power and influence, systems will have to be more robust and people will have to be more vigilant. Therefore we turned to the community of artists, designers, activists, hackers and researchers with an open call for new critical perspectives on ubiquitous technology and its impact on our lifestyle. We were looking for for projects that abuse to expose; artistic research and tacit knowledge that is produced through cultures of making, hacking, and reverse engineering. Our aim was to collect artworks, projects, essays, and interviews discussing questions such as: What does privacy look like in a smart home of connected objects? How are citizens involved in co-design collaborations with private corporations and the public sector to build better cities? How can we enable a secure and trustworthy Internet communication so that business, personal, and machine-to-machine interactions can be conducted safely and without interferences?

Current positions and approaches in contemporary art and media practice
Artistic strategies in the age of global surveillance
The contributions to this book explore a phenomenon that appears to be a contradiction in itself – we, the users of computers, can be tracked in digital space for all eternity. Although, on the one hand, one wants to be noticed and noticeable, on the other hand one does not necessarily want to be recognized at the first instance, being prey to an unfathomable public, or – even less so – to lose face.
The book documents artistic and other strategies that point out options for appearing in the infinite book of faces whilst nevertheless avoiding being included in any records. The desire not to become a mere object of facial sell-out does not just remain an aesthetic endeavor. The contributions also contain combative and sarcastic statements against a digital dynamic that has already penetrated our everyday lives.
Deutsch:
Aktuelle Positionen und Ansätze der zeitgenössischer Kunst- und Medienpraxis
Künstlerischer Strategien im Zeitalter der globalen Überwachung
Die Beiträge dieses Buchs sind einem Phänomen auf der Spur, das widersprüchlich anmutet: Wir, Computernutzerinnen und User, sind im digitalen Raum in alle Ewigkeit wiederzufinden. Man will einerseits wahrnehmbar, andererseits doch nicht gleich wiedererkennbar sein, sich nicht an eine unüberschaubare Öffentlichkeit ausliefern, gar das Gesicht verlieren.
Das Buch dokumentiert künstlerische und andere Strategien, die Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, im unendlichen Buch der Gesichter zu erscheinen und sich dabei doch jeglicher Erfassung zu entziehen. Der Wunsch, kein bloßes Objekt des facialen Ausverkaufs zu werden, bleibt dabei nicht bloß ein ästhetisches Unterfangen. Die Beiträge formulieren auch kämpferische wie ironische Ansagen gegen eine digitale Dynamik, die unseren Alltag längst erreicht hat.

Media Arts in Switzerland
Pioneers, tinkerers, provocateurs
Featuring Andreas Bosshard, the media art group etoy, Studer/van den Berg, Wachter & Jud, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Marc Lee and rebell.tv
Never before in history a medium has so radically changed society and culture as digitization and the Internet have. This development has also brought forth a new art movement: media arts.
This publication traces this explosive development in Switzerland since the mid-90s. It addresses on the one hand the most important artistic strategies – sound and video art, Internet art, hacking, mashup and remix, do-it-yourself, robotics and machine art as well as purely conceptual approaches – and, on the other hand, also the role of promoters, festivals, universities and art galleries and exhibition spaces.
The emphasis is on projects and artists supported by the Migros Culture Percentage since 1998. Works of art are discussed and also the artists themselves – many distinguished internationally – speak about their work.

Pioniere, Bastler, Provokateure
Mit Werken u. a. von Andreas Bosshard, der Medienkunstgruppe etoy, Studer/van den Berg, Wachter & Jud, der !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Marc Lee und rebell.tv
Noch nie in der Geschichte hat ein Medium Gesellschaft und Kultur so radikal verändert wie die Digitalisierung und das Internet. Die Entwicklung hat auch eine neue Kunstrichtung hervorgebracht: die Medienkunst.
Die Publikation folgt dieser explosionsartigen Entwicklung in der Schweiz seit Mitte der Neunzigerjahre. Sie thematisiert die wichtigsten künstlerischen Strategien – Sound und Video Art, Netzkunst, Hacking, Mashup und Remix, Do-it-yourself, Robotik und Maschinenkunst sowie rein konzeptionelle Ansätze – und die Rolle der Förderer, Festivals, Hochschulen und Ausstellungsräume.
Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Projekten und Künstlern, die von Migros-Kulturprozent seit 1998 gefördert wurden. Künstlerische Arbeiten werden diskutiert und deren oft international ausgezeichneten Protagonisten kommen zu Wort.

We live in a world that is not solely generated, driven, and controlled by things, words, and images, but above all by data. A vast number of electronic interfaces, like smartphones, computers, TVs, and data displays, accompany us 24/7. Fields of Data are indispensable and omnipresent.
Living in digital worlds means increasingly a life spent in a programed, smart environment, a so-called »scripted reality.« The script is dictated in part by sensors, which provide information about the state of reality around us. The data from the sensors is processed by algorithms, which steer us through the world as though through a field of data. For the world we live in is more and more an artificial, human-made data world.
The large-scale installation »The World as a Field of Data« which awaits you in ZKM’s Atrium 8, takes up this topic. A »data cloud« of around 40 monitors shows the vast number of electronic interfaces, like smartphones, computers, TVs, and digital data screens that accompany us in everyday life: at the airport or train station, at the stock exchange and in the bank, in the office and in the home, in the hospital or in the medical practice.

The exhibition AESTHETICS OF CHANGE: 150 Years of the University of Applied Arts Vienna in two parts casts a glance back onto 150 years of the University’s history, while at the same time daring to look into the future.
The Angewandte: 150 Plus 30
The second part of the jubilee exhibition in the MAK’s upper Exhibition Hall, curated by Peter Weibel and Gerald Bast, outlines theses for the future and advocates for a reorientation of education, art, and society. Three chapters present aggregated trends. The exhibition focuses on current and visionary research, in addition to contemporary artistic positions.
“Future is there, where we ourselves strive towards it”
Pursuing this idea leads to an interactive exhibition experience. The spotlight is on the new; old structures dissolve in the darkness. This combination of ruins and enchanted forest allows the search for the future to commence.

The first Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie bids farewell to photography as we know it. Farewell Photography illuminates the radical changes in our dealings with images in the digital era and presents an alternative vision of the history of photography.
Since its invention, photography has been a medium of social exchange, a means by which people can relate to one another. With digitization not only has the number of photographic images exploded but their capacity to be reproduced and distributed—which was already one of photography’s characteristic features in the analogue age—has multiplied.
Sharing is the photographic usage of the moment. The individual, isolated image has had its day; instead, photographs appear as part of chains of communication and relationship networks. On social media and in messenger services like WhatsApp and Snapchat, a photo often says more than a thousand words, or 140 characters—it calls for a response, it gets liked, hated, and reshared.
As memes, images spread across the Internet like a virus, are modified by users, and released back into orbit. Their natural state is one of circulation. Google searches never bring to light just one image from the Internet archives but hundreds of them. Every photo on Facebook or Instagram is organized in an online biography and linked with a hashtag to a host of other images. No image is an island.

Die erste Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie verabschiedet sich von der Fotografie, wie sie bisher bekannt ist. „Farewell Photography“ beleuchtet einen sich radikal verändernden Umgang mit Bildern im digitalen Zeitalter und präsentiert einen anderen Blick auf die Geschichte der Fotografie. „Farewell Photography“ versteht sich als eine Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Bilder, fern jeglicher Nostalgie, aber getragen von einer großen Zuneigung zur Fotografie. Es ist eine Art „Abschied“, nicht ohne produktiv nach dem Gestern und dem Morgen zu fragen. Den derzeitigen Umbruch der Bildkulturen begreift unser Kuratorenteam als Chance, die Fotografie einer kritischen Betrachtung zu unterziehen und sie neu zu definieren.“ (Florian Ebner)

Bubbling universes
The emergence of social networks has led to a multiplicity of events on a scale never seen before. The unchecked proliferation of information has now reached an astonishing level and is stored in an unprecedented amount of storage, accessed by thousands of networked data devices.
This exponential increase in accessible information overwhelms us all in an incessant and overwhelming flow of concepts, images, opinions and desires. No one is exempt from this cross-contamination, no discipline succeeds in remaining within set boundaries. The proliferation of worlds and tendencies carries us into an indeterminate plurality. All and everything is expanding, like a star in its Red Giant phase, ready to explode at any time. What was immense and infinite has become small when faced with the multiverse. We live in an age of bubbling universes.

Artistic positions using virtual reality technologies
New perspectives on the depiction of digital pictorial worlds
Essays from Bettina Back, Julia Kaganskiy, Patrick Lichty and Tina Sauerländer
The essays present the works from different research perspectives, thus enabling a broad overview of current trends in a media art based on virtual reality technologies.
The latest virtual-reality technologies are asserting themselves currently in the domain of the fine arts and facilitating an immersion in artificial worlds. Virtual reality is used not only to explore aes-thetic potential, but also as a critical medium for reflecting on the existential state of today’s life-world. The works presented in this publication deal with multifaceted themes, such as physical per-ception and physical laws, societal structures as well as architecture and poetry.
Virtual Reality (VR) ermöglicht es, Kunstwerke zu erleben, statt sie nur zu betrachten. Die aktuelle künstlerische Nutzung dieser Technologie eröffnet neue und spannende Perspektiven auf die heutige Lebenswelt. Die Publikation vereint neun zeitgenössische Strategien, die sich mit dem Medium auseinandersetzen. Theoretische Textbeiträge über die Entwicklung von VR im Bereich der Kunst und die Möglichkeiten der bildgebenden Technologie ordnen die vorgestellten Werke in den aktuellen Kunstdiskurs ein.
Seit jeher experimentiert der Mensch mit dem Eintauchen in andere Welten. Mit der Weiterentwicklung von elektronischen Medientechnologien ermöglicht VR inzwischen ein neues Stadium von Immersion: Räume können erschaffen oder beliebig erweitert werden. Im Zentrum steht dabei immer der Betrachter, der sich direkt, und nicht durch einen Rahmen abgetrennt, mit dem Gezeigten auseinandersetzt.
Erste künstlerische Arbeiten unter Einbezug von VR entstanden bereits Ende des 20. Jahrhundert. Die erleichterte Handhabung und kostengünstigere Erschliessung der Technologie ermöglichen inzwischen einen breiteren Zugang für Kunstschaffende.
Diese erproben in ihren Arbeiten, wie VR die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Virtualität verschmelzen lässt und welche Rolle der User darin einnimmt.
Ganz unterschiedlich sind die Themen, welche die vorgestellten künstlerischen Positionen bearbeiten: Sowohl die ästhetischen Potentiale, als auch die Reflexionsbezüge zur tatsächlichen Lebenswelt werden unter Einsatz des Mediums erprobt und hinterfragt. Neben der Wahrnehmung des menschlichen Körpers und physikalischen Gesetzen, sind auch gesellschaftliche Konstrukte wie Identität und Geschlecht inhaltlich präsent.
Mit ihren zahlreichen Abbildungen und pointierten Essays, ermöglicht die vorliegende Publikation einen Überblick der aktuellen Tendenzen in der auf VR basierenden Medienkunst.
Mit Essays von Bettina Back, Julia Kaganskiy, Patrick Lichty und Tina Sauerländer und einem Vorwort von Sabine Himmelsbach.

Introduction
For twenty years, various forms of artistic, experimental, media-reflective as well as ‘serious’ types of computer games have been developed. New strategies in gaming are based on artistic research in the growing fields of audio-visual media. Computer games reflect and analyze the function and structure of our societies.
The exhibition New Gameplay is comprised of six sections, presenting works of game art ranging from art that has computer games as its subject to computer games designed by artists. Classic media art and video games will also be a part of this engaging dialogue.
The section ‘Homage à Nam June Paik’ reflects on specific works and strategies created by the Korean father of Video Art and analyze them in juxtaposition with works of JODI, the artist couple who presents non-object games by transferring violent ego-shooter into abstract forms.
The ‘Media Art in the Context of Games’ section includes The Night Journey by media artist Bill Viola who translates video aesthetics into the interactive form of a computer game. Chinese artist Feng Mengbo is represented by his work Long March: Restart, a sixteen-meter long satirizing jump and run of the heroic myth of the Long March of the Communist Party of China’s Red Army. Media art pioneer Jeffrey Shaw’s The Legible City also demonstrates the utilization of gaming formats in the field of art. The ‘Hacking/Modifying Technology’ section reflects on Paik’s role as a forerunner of interactive art.
One area of focus is dedicated to independent and serious games, which have distinguished themselves by their particularly innovative game ideas, interesting experimental claims, and unique consciousness of their own means and forms of expression. Categorized as ‘Society and Games’, these works aim to enhance and train the users’ awareness of political structures and processes in their daily lives.
The ‘Urban Play’ section demonstrates the virtualization of the urban landscape that uses latest developments in 3D-modelling and high-resolution immersive environments. The ‘Games and Apps’ section presents fun mobile games for young visitors.

Cinnamon Colomboscope is a contemporary and multidisciplinary arts festival that takes place in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Originally started in 2013, as a joint initiative between Alliance Française de Kotte, the British Council and the Goethe-Institut, the festival has continued to attract support and participation from Sri Lankan artists as well as those from Europe. Over the past two years, the festival’s reputation has spread beyond these two locales, and more artists from the South Asia region and other parts of the world have wanted to be part of the event.
The festival has always had a legacy of challenging how we view art, by presenting works in venues that are not traditional exhibition or performance spaces. The idea of using art to draw audiences into different parts of the city is the trademark of the Colomboscope festival.
The event is organised by EUNIC Sri Lanka comprising the Goethe-Institut, British Council and Alliance Française de Kotte. Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts is the festival’s title sponsor for the second consecutive year.
This year, the festival is held in venue partnership with the Sri Lanka Postal Department, the Ministry of Science and Technology, Sri Lanka and the Ministry of Post, Postal Services & Muslim Religious Affairs, Sri Lanka.

UPDATE_6 gives an overview of how new technological art has developed since the 1950’s. At the site ‹Zebrastraat Ghent› various renowned and upcoming artists gave their take on the idea of new technological art. Update_6 reflects of this international exhibition and takes the reader on an insightful journey through the evolution of how the new technological arts have unfolded through history.
The appearance, during the 1950’s, of electronic and computer tools in the arts, forced artists to a more in-depth knowledge of techniques and their languages to “master” the new instruments that were now put at their disposal by engineers. Artists reacted to this new development in two main ways: either by collaborating with engineers or by learning to use the new techniques themselves. This new undertaking also forced the artist to make an ideological choice: proceed with the idea of art as causa mentale, or consider finding new ways to master the technology and submit it to their artistic needs. In practice of course, this pas de deux was not as straightforward and, over time, many different exchanges and interweavings saw flourishing. This book aims to provide an overview of the most relevant authors, exhibitions, events and places.

The »Infosphere« exhibition presents an overview of art in the era of the digital revolution and its social consequences. In addition, it provides insights into the new data world – whose existence has been finally brought home to the general public, through the NSA affair.
Today, people live in a globally interconnected world in which the biosphere and the infosphere are interfused and interdependent. The Earth is surrounded by a layer of gases which we call the atmosphere. It is the product of photosynthesis, of algae working for millions of years, converting light energy from the sun into air. Evolution’s answer to the atmosphere was the lung. Thus the atmosphere is essential for most living organisms, including people. For around 150 years now, we have been surrounded by an infosphere, as well. With this neologism the technical network is meant, consisting of telegraphy, telephony, television, radio, radar, satellites, and the Internet, which covers the globe and enables global exchange of data as well as the organization of transport for people and goods. Without the global traffic in data, goods, and passengers it would be impossible to meet the biological and social needs and aspirations of over seven billion people.
In the nineteenth century, new transport routes and paths of communication were developed through machines operating on land, sea, and in the air. In the years 1886 to 1888, Heinrich Hertz conducted experiments proving the existence of electromagnetic waves and demonstrating that light consists of these electromagnetic waves. With this discovery, the age of wireless communication began, which enabled message and messenger to be separated: Henceforth data could travel through space without the body of a messenger. In the twentieth century, this resulted in a densely interconnected communication and information network of mobile media: the infosphere – an envelope of radio waves surrounding the Earth. Using artificial, technical organs human beings can, for the first time, use electromagnetic waves for the wireless transmission of words, images, and other data – waves for which humans do not actually possess a sensorium. The social media, which have changed our daily lives, are a part of these technological networks. Thus the formula for the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, “Machinery, Material, and Men” (Frank Lloyd Wright, 1930), must be modified for the twenty-first century: “Media, Data, and Men” (Peter Weibel, 2011). Now that the alphabetic code has been supplemented by the numeric code, algorithms constitute a fundamental element of our social order – from stock exchanges to airports. Against this backdrop, contemporary art operating in the thematic field of big data is especially significant.

Global Control and Censorship Deutsch English
Description
Knowledge is power. And power is possessed especially by whoever controls the flow of information. This applies particularly in digital culture, where all the information in the World Wide Web can be manipulated, uncontrolled. For a long time, a hope for new forms of democratic participation arose from the use of these digital instruments, but recently they have been misused as the ideal door opener for the surveillance of billions of people. Democratic states have long reserved the right to spy even on their »friends«, in all military, economic, and social aspects, and on all levels: governments, organizations, NGOs, and individual citizens are all under surveillance.
Besides mass analysis of communications metadata and massive access to personal data, there is increasingly open or clandestine censorship through manipulation or shutting down. Where the fear of this threat has no effect, the secrecy of important information is enforced, with methods ranging from hindering publication to kidnapping and assassinating journalists. Being at the mercy of overwhelmingly powerful authorities of control and censorship has become the conditio humana of our time. Today a large part of the public has already resigned in the face of a ubiquitous state and commercial surveillance.
This exhibition is based on the collaboration with a network of scientists, journalists, activists, and artists in some twenty countries around the world, and in cooperation with expert organizations such as the German PEN Center, the Chaos Computer Club, Reporters Without Borders, and such platforms as netzpolitik. org, digitalcourage.de, WikiLeaks, and others. The exhibition’s aim is to expand public debate about the ever-present surveillance and censorship methods, which is an urgent priority not only due to constant new reports in the media, but especially because of the extensive obstruction of the investigation of these practices.

Weltweite Überwachung und Zensur
Wissen ist Macht. Und Macht hat vor allem, wer den Fluss der Informationen beherrscht. Dies gilt in besonderem Maße in der digitalen Kultur, in der alle Informationen im weltweiten Netz unkontrollierbar manipuliert werden können. Erwuchs aus dem Umgang mit diesen digitalen Instrumenten lange die Hoffnung auf neue Formen demokratischer Partizipation, so werden sie in jüngster Zeit als ideale Türöffner zur Überwachung von Milliarden Menschen missbraucht. Längst nehmen sich auch demokratische Staaten das Recht, selbst ihre »Freunde« auszuspionieren, und dies in allen militärischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Belangen sowie auf allen Ebenen: Regierungen, Organisationen, Unternehmen, NGOs und einzelne BürgerInnen werden gleichsam überwacht.
Neben die Massenanalyse der kommunikativen Metadaten und den massenhaften Zugriff auf personenbezogene Daten tritt immer häufiger die offene oder geheime Zensur durch Manipulation oder Abschaltung. Wo die Angst vor dieser Bedrohung nicht wirkt, wird die Geheimhaltung wichtiger Informationen durch direkte Behinderung von Veröffentlichungen bis hin zur Verschleppung und Ermordung von JournalistInnen durchgesetzt. Das Ausgeliefertsein an übermächtige Instanzen der Kontrolle und Zensur ist zur conditio humana unserer Zeit geworden. Bereits heute hat ein großer Teil der Öffentlichkeit vor der Allgegenwart staatlicher und kommerzieller Überwachung resigniert.
Die Ausstellung, die im Rahmen der Infosphäre präsentiert wird, beruht auf der Zusammenarbeit mit einem Netzwerk von WissenschaftlerInnen, JournalistInnen, AktivistInnen und KünstlerInnen in allen Erdteilen und in rund 20 Ländern sowie der Kooperation mit Expertenorganisationen wie dem PEN-Zentrum Deutschland, dem Chaos Computer Club (CCC), Reporter ohne Grenzen, Villa Aurora und mit Plattformen wie netzpolitik.org, digitalcourage.de, WikiLeaks und anderen. Ziel der Ausstellung ist eine Erweiterung der öffentlichen Diskussion über die allgegenwärtigen Überwachungs- und Zensurmaßnahmen, die nicht nur aufgrund stetig neuer Berichte in den Medien, sondern vor allem angesichts der weitgehenden Behinderung der Aufklärung über diese Praktiken als dringlich erscheint.

Poetics and Politics of Data reflects life in a world increasingly controlled by data and presents artistic positions that aim to make continuous streams of data visible – whether using Internet-based installations or graphic data visualizations. The participating artists question the relevance and place of the individual in a technologically connected society in which every day, each of us generates a nearly incomprehensible amount of data: Our every move on the Internet leaves behind a digital trace. In critical essays, Orit Halpern, Sabine Himmelsbach, Lev Manovich, Claudia Mareis, Ramón Reichert and Roberto Simanowski explore the phenomena of ‹Big Data› and ‹Data Mining› and pose critical questions about the ambivalence of life in a «datified» world.
I can’t think of any other book that pinpoints in such a wide-ranging and critical way the topic of politics and data. This is a solid publication that goes beyond its simple role of being an art catalogue. (Régine Debatty, www.we-make-money-not-art.com, 25.8.2015)

»KUNSTFORUM« nimmt das 300 Tage dauernde Großereignis des ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie KArlsruhe, die »GLOBALE« zum Anlass, die großen Themen und entscheidenden Tendenzen des 21. Jahrhunderts zu dokumentieren: Globalisierung und Digitalisierung an der Schnittstelle zur Naturwissenschaft, werden anhand der ausgestellten aktuellsten Kunstproduktionen in kommentierten Ausstellungsrundgängen, Essays und Interviews diskutiert.
Sie werden dort künstlich geschaffene Mikroben sehen, die verschmutztes Wasser reinigen. Sie sehen, wie in nanotechnologischen Fabriken aus dem Feind CO2 der Freund gemacht wird, indem das Oxygen vom Kohlenstoff abgespalten und zur Erzeugung synthetischer Brennstoffe verwendet wird. Sie sehen Materiezustände, die sich den Erfordernissen des Menschen anpassen. Sie sehen, wie winzige Bewegungen eines Ohrs riesige Flügelapparate in Bewegung versetzen. Sie sehen Lösungen für die Probleme des 20. Jahrhunderts – erschaffen von einer neuen Allianz zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, der Renaissance 2.0.
In den beiden zentralen Ausstellungen der Infosphäre und der Exo-Evolution treffen die Leitgedanken brennpunktartig zusammen: Was ZKM-Direktor Peter Weibel als „Confluence of Cultures“ bezeichnet, soll letztlich auf eine neue Definition des Menschen hinwirken, der sich nicht mehr als Mangelwesen, sondern dank seiner avancierten Technologien als Möglichkeitswesen begreift.

Birth of a Museum: Documenting the Construction of MMCA, Seoul
MMCA presents five special exhibitions on the occasion of her inauguration that anticipate the vision and direction of the new museum, introducing artworks by approximately 120 artists in seven disciplines. Connecting_Unfolding aims to advance into the heart of Korean art and into the hub of the international art scene; The Aleph Project symbolizes the future of MMCA Seoul as a platform for communication and a fusion of diverse genres of contemporary art; Zeitgeist Korea depicts the potential of Korean contemporary art within a historical context; Site-specific Art Project presents customized, large-scale site-specific installation works that fully utilize the museum’s spaces; and Birth of a Museum shows a diverse and holistic photographic documentation of MMCA Seoul’s construction process.
Connecting_Unfolding, the premiere exhibition of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Seoul, is designed to accentuate art’s ever-changing interpretation of and union with life, particularly in this era of disintegrating boundaries and emerging dimensions of convergence and synthesis between disciplines. The exhibition represents a fresh inquiry into the ways in which our individual values and ideas may erupt into the world, igniting communication and forcing us to reassess the value of art in any given era or society. In this context, a team of curators from six countries Eunju Choi, Richard Flood, Ann Gallagher, Yuko Hasegawa, Sook-Kyung Lee, Bernhard Serexhe, and Pooja Sood have gathered to select the seven participating artists: Tacita Dean, Kim Jones, Amar Kanwar, Marc Lee, Lee Mingwei, Kishio Suga, and Minha Yang. In the marvelous new venue of MMCA Seoul, built to represent the intersection of various concepts the traditional and contemporary, history and the present, society and art, the museum’s inaugural exhibition focuses on the primary themes of «connecting» and «unfolding,» incessant processes through which phenomena perpetually encounter and contact one another to enact new dimensions and possibilities.

Exhibiton: Generation i.2 – Aesthetics of the Digital in the 21st Century
15.11.2013 – 16.02.2014
EDITH-RUSS-HAUS für Medienkunst, Oldenburg, Germany
Worldwide networking creates new, global aesthetic tendencies: that is the tenor of this exhibition. It presents a selection of outstanding key works by international artists of the five continents. The exhibition’s main objective is to take interim stock of the most prominent tendencies in contemporary art in the first decade of the 21st century whose works are directly or indirectly influenced by the new languages of digital media, social network cultures, and networking processes—both in a formal and conceptual as well as in an aesthetic sense.
The title plays with various concepts: “Generation” describes the new generation of Internet users; “i” stands for current cultural concepts such as, for example, interactivity, interface, intercommunication, etc.; and “2” refers to the tag “Web 2.0” or social media, which strike a very new path that is geared toward prosumers.
Inspired by applied, formal, and aesthetic qualities, the artists deal with the exploration of the opportunities and risks associated with these new resources, which are brought to bear in the various arts presented in this exhibition: painting, drawing, photography, interactive installations, and video art.
The viewer is confronted with issues related to the globalization of artistic creations and the mondialité (mondalisation [Édouard Glissant]) of the imagination.

Description
Fórum Eugénio de Almeida presents, for the first time in Iberian Peninsula, a wide selection of works from the Collection ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany – the world’s most important center for art and technology.
The exhibition brings to Fórum Eugénio de Almeida some of the most relevant works by Nam June Paik, one of the pioneers of media art, and comprises 33 pieces by 39 internationally renowned artists such as Bruce Nauman, Marina Abramovic, Bill Viola, Christa Sommerer & Mignonneau Laurent, Paul Sermon, Tony Oursler, Peter Weibel, Masaki Fujihata, Valie Export, Pipilotti Rist, Paul Garrin, Robert Wilson, among others.
The selection includes works in formats such as video sculpture, video art, video performance, video installation, audiovisual installation, interactive installation, and interactive sound installation.
The exhibition’s central thematic focus falls on the two concepts present in its title: intervention and invention. We highlight the relation between the etymologies of both terms and the artistic genres shown: the prefix “inter” expresses an intermediate position, while “in” denotes an inward movement, an action with-in the work. Invention is the capacity to create and discover, but also the action of imagining “virtualities”, a characteristic common to many media art pieces. A widely used concept in the field of contemporary art, intervention usually stands for interference, manipulation and interaction between oeuvre and audience. With the show’s emphasis on interactive art and through its inventions and interventions, the audience stops being a passive observer and becomes the main protagonist of the exhibition.

在这期合刊中，中外艺术家们不仅对灾难、战争发言，对金融、时局表态，也对八卦、娱乐、寻人启事好奇。如果说“去人民性”是第三世界当代艺术曲线救国的策略，那么我们不如把艺术家鉴定为外星来客，或者是那些悬浮在空中让人类焦虑的 PM2.5 颗粒。“介入”社会并非他们的诉求和职业病，因为他们确实生活在其中，只是以漂移的方式罢了。换言之，当他们漂移时，便成为了艺术家（进入了艺术的状态）。

The exhibition gateways. Art and Networked Culture introduces a young generation of artists whose work deals with the changing conditions of a networked world – a world increasingly transmitted through media. The artistic works presented here use various means to tackle the theme of gateways that lead to realms of action and experience in our digitally interconnected culture.
Through their use of electronic networks and mobile technologies, the artists encourage the public to participate actively and transport new experiences in perception.

Was passiert mit Medienkunst, wenn sich das Internet–Environment, für das sie konzipiert wurde, verändert? Dürfen Arbeiten, die einst für den PC entwickelt wurden, heute auf dem iPad gezeigt werden? Die Ausstellung »Digital Art Works. The Challenges of Conservation« geht Fragen nach dem Sammeln, Ausstellen und Erhalten computerbasierter Kunstwerke auf den Grund und lässt die Vorgänge rund um die digitale Konservierung sichtbar werden.
Seit wenigen Jahrzehnten erlaubt die Digitalisierung eine leichtere Bearbeitung und Weitergabe von Daten; im Internet sollen sie jedem Nutzer jederzeit an jedem Ort zur Verfügung stehen. Grundsätzlich aber ist die Bewahrung von digitalen Inhalten einer immer kurzfristigeren Anpassung an neue technische Systeme unterworfen. Damit scheint das Fortbestehen des kulturellen Gedächtnisses grundsätzlich unsicher.
Im Rahmen des EU–Forschungsprojekts »digital art conservation« wurden anhand von zehn Fallstudien Konzepte für die langfristige Erhaltung dieser, aufgrund des rapiden technologischen Wandels, besonders fragilen Kunstwerke entwickelt. Die zehn Fallstudien sowie weitere Werke aus der ZKM_Sammlung bilden den Kern der Ausstellung »Digital Art Works. The Challenges of Conservation«; sie eröffnen das breite Spektrum um die Problematik der Konservierung digitaler Kunst und verweisen auf deren Notwendigkeit.
Eingebettet in ein didaktisches Rahmenprogramm werden die Kunstwerke als solche im Mittelpunkt stehen: Klassiker wie Nam June Paiks »Internet Dream« oder Jeffrey Shaw’s »The Legible City« begegnen den BesucherInnen der Ausstellung ebenso wie die jüngsten »Hack–Aktionen« des niederländischen Künstlerduos Jodi oder die »Diagramm–Poesie« des Franzosen Antoine Schmitt. »Digital Art Works« trägt damit nicht zuletzt einer für unsere Zeit repräsentativen Kunstgattung und deren Eigenleben inner– und außerhalb des Museums Rechnung.

Soll und kann Kunst die Welt verändern? Soll sie zu Revolutionen anstiften und Menschen dazu bewegen, sich zur Wehr zu setzen? Kann sie Unterdrückung und Abhängigkeit bekämpfen?
Der Band erforscht Protest und Widerstandsformen im Kontext künstlerischer, medialer und kultureller Praxis und fragt, wie sich diese in unterschiedlichen Wissensdisziplinen wie der Sozial-, Medien- und Kunstwissenschaft ausbilden.
„Was tun» ist Motto im doppelten Sinn: einerseits als verzweifelte Frage nach Handlungsmöglichkeiten, andererseits als entschlossener Aufruf zum Handeln.

Publication Owning Online Art – Selling and Collecting Netbased Artworks
The research project Owning Online Art – Study for a Netart Gallery of the UAS Northwestern Switzerland, Academy of Art and Design was funded by the Kommission für Technologie und Innovation (KTI).
This publication was supported by the UAS Northwestern Switzerland, Academy of Art and Design, the Christoph Merian Foundation und the Migros Kulturprozent.
In the publication Owning Online Art – Selling and Collecting Netbased Artworks, art historians discuss the critical positioning of selected works of net art (Rachel Mader) and approach questions on the relationship between internet art and the art market from the standpoint of the history of media (Peter Schneemann). Using the example of specific works, artists discuss aspects of the materiality of net-based art (Markus Schwander) and reflect on their experience with curators and collectors, as well as with the issues of the commercialisation and conservation of net art (Olia Lialina, Carlo Zanni).
Our research partner, the AktiveArchive project contributed its expertise in the areas of documentation, conservation and restoration of electronic art and discussed solutions for the restoration of net-based works (Tabea Lurk). A number of different economies can be applied to the issue of the relationship between net-based art and the art market: the economies of the market, of novelty and of recognition (Simon Grand), as well as aspects of the economy of free, immaterial products (Felix Stalder).
Further articles are devoted to the practice of collecting net-based art, the controversy between the respective attitudes and expectations of collection curators and artists and to the idea of a “Swiss Platform for New Media Art” (Isabel Zürcher). The past and present-day development of the products of net art on the market and its collection in the USA and Europe will also be discussed (Reinhard Storz), as well as the purchase of net-based work for an existing Swiss collection from a curator’s point of view (Roman Kurzmeyer). In closing, a short text will present the idea and current activities of the DA Collection / Store project (Annette Schindler and Reinhard Storz). The text section closes with the answers of the 17 international artists to the questionnaire sent out by the OOA research project.
In the chapter «materials», the list of text studies is expanded by a few practice-oriented investigations, including a brief survey of current online payment methods; a study of the net-specific art form of the screensaver (Beo von Arx); illustrative examples of digital displays at art fairs and art exhibitions; experiments by the Basel web designer and artist Esther Hunziker with interfaces for online art exhibitions and collection archives; and the development of a special wall console with an integrated computer for interactive art works by the Zurich industrial designer Regula Büchel.
Publication of the research contributions is available in four formats. The decision towards this variety is linked to the object of investigation of our research project in the field of online culture: We want to test established and new publication formats for their benefits for research publications.

Publikation
In der Publikation Owning Online Art. Zum Verkauf und Besitz netzbasierter Kunstwerke befassen sich KunstwissenschaftlerInnen mit der wissenschaftlichen Verortung ausgewählter Werke der Netzkunst (Rahel Mader) und entwerfen medienhistorische Fragestellungen zum Verhältnis von Internetkunst und Markt (Peter Schneemann). KünstlerInnen diskutieren an Werkbeispielen Aspekte der Materialität von netzbasierter Kunst (Markus Schwander) und reflektieren ihre langjährige Erfahrungen mit Kuratorinnen und Sammlern, mit Fragen der Kommerzialisierung und Konservierung von «net art» (Olia Lialina, Carlo Zanni).
Als Forschungspartner bringt das Projekt Aktive Archive seine Kompetenz in Fragen Dokumentation, Konservierung und Restaurierung elektronischer Kunst in die Untersuchung ein und debatiert Lösungsmodelle für die Restaurierung netzbasierter Werke (Tabea Lurk). Zur Klärung der Frage nach dem Verhältnis von netzbasierter Kunst und Kunstmarkt stehen verschiedene Ökonomien zur Debatte – etwa die Ökonomien des Marktes, des Neuen und der Anerkennung (Simon Grand) oder Aspekte der Ökonomie freier, immaterieller Güter (Felix Stalder).
Weitere Beiträge wenden sich der Sammlungspraxis von netzbasierter Kunst zu. Kontrovers werden Haltungen und Ansprüche von SammlungskuratorInnen und NetzkünstlerInnen debatiert und die Idee einer Schweizer Plattform für Netzkunst vorgestellt (Isabel Zürcher). Dann wird die historische und aktuelle Entwicklung sowohl des Marktangebots wie des Sammelns von Netzkunst in den USA und Europa aufgerollt (Reinhard Storz) und aus der Sicht eines Kurators der Ankauf von netzbasierten Arbeiten in eine bestehende Sammlung für Schweizer Kunst thematisiert (Roman Kurzmeyer). Schliesslich wird in einem kurzen Programmtext das Konzept und die gegenwärtigen Aktivitäten des Projekts DACollection / Store vorgestellt (Annette Schindler und Reinhard Storz). Den Abschluss des Textteiles bilden die Antworten von 17 internationalen KünstlerInnen auf einen im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts OoA entwickelten Fragebogen.
Im Kapitel «Materialien» wird die Liste der Textstudien erweitert durch einige praxisbezogene Recherchen. Dazu gehört eine kommentierte Bibliografie zum Themenfeld der Netzkunst und Ökonomie, eine Bildsammlung zu Beispielen von digitalen Displays in Kunstmessen und Kunstausstellungen, eine Bestandesaufnahme von aktuellen Online-Bezahlsystemen und eine Recherche zur netzspezifischen Kunstform der Screensaver (Beo von Arx), Gestalterische Untersuchungen der Basler Webdesignerin und Künstlerin Esther Hunziker zum Interface-Design von Online-Kunstausstellungen und Sammlungsarchiven und die Entwicklung einer Wandkonsole mit integriertem Kleincomputer für interaktive Kunstwerke durch die Zürcher Industriedesignerin Regula Büchel.
Die Publikation der Forschungsbeiträge bieten wir in vier Formaten an. Die Entscheidung zu dieser Vielfalt hat mit dem Untersuchungsgegenstand unseres Forschungsprojekts im Bereich der Online-Kultur zu tun: Wir möchten bewährte und neuere Publikationsformate auf ihren Nutzen für Forschungspublikationen hin testen.

You_ser 2.0 – Celebration of the Consumer
Edition ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe
In its exhibition YOU_ser 2.0: Celebration of the Consumer the ZKM engages with the effects on art and society of net-based, global creation and demonstrates for the first time in technologically advanced installations the link between «user generated content» and contemporary art. The new installations presented in the exhibition transfer the potential for users’ creative collaboration developed in the internet into an artistic context and enables the visitors to emancipate themselves. They can act as artists, curators and producers. Visitors to the exhibition are central as users, as emancipated consumers. YOU are the content in this exhibition! YOU are a part of the universe: YOUniverse. YOU are the user of the world and part of the world, and with that a participant in the world. Whoever is a part of the world also bears some responsibility for the world, of which they are a part. Through their participation, the YOU, the user, has the chance to change the world.In the most technologically advanced environments and installations, the most recent state of the art of participation, pARTicipation, is being shown. That reinforces that tendency, which becomes established in the spirit of the enlightenment for democracy, for untrammelled access to education for all and for the creativity of all.

3rd International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville – YOUniverse, the exhibition
More than 150 artists from all over the world will participate in the third edition of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville (Biacs3), which will be held from 2 October 2008 to 9 January 2009.
In the global context of the information and communication society, the Biacs3 will make a new map of Global Art, World Art, addressing the specific aspect of media, environment and technology. Under the title youniverse, the Biennial of Seville will show how contemporary art worldwide has changed through the influence of media, technology, science and architecture by fostering one main goal: the participation of the public and a new equation between man and his environment.
The creations of the selected artists (approximately 180 works) will revolve around mobility, individualisation through technologies, quantum physics, nanotechnology, hydraulic engineering, architecture and the environment. One aspect will be to show that technology as man-made nature can help to solve our problems with natural environments. The other aspect will be the democratization of art. The audience, rather than the artists, is the star. The Biascs3 will present the public with a showcase of the 21st century’s most representative technical breakthroughs on the threshold of a material revolution that will lead us from simulation to stimulation, and will invite visitors to personally interact with the contents of the exhibition.
The artistic curatorial team appointed to plan the contents of the Biacs3 – consisting of Peter Weibel, general director of the ZKM Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, Wonil Rhee, guest curator of PS1MoMA 2009, Korean curator, and Marie-Ange Brayer, director of the Regional Centre of Contemporary Art of Orleáns, France – aims to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the general theme of the exhibition.

Mediale Kunst Zürich: 13 Positionen aus dem Studienbereich Neue Medien / Media Arts Zurich: 13 Positions from the Department of New Media (English and German Edition)
Media art is one of the most exciting experimental fields to emerge in contemporary art in recent years—and yet its innovations have been sparsely documented. Media Arts Zurich, the third yearbook published by the Department New Media at the newly founded Zurich University of the Arts, seeks to fill this gap, offering an illuminating overview of the Swiss media art scene of the past decade. This book examines the varying approaches, techniques, and strategies of acclaimed media artists as well as the public reception of their work.
Accompanied by a companion DVD in PAL format and 400 lavish illustrations, this volume presents thirteen individual artists and groups in the context of their backgrounds, exhibitions, and the state of European media art. Two essays by art and media historians here position these Swiss media artists in the international art world and document the first ten years and visions for the future of the media art program at the Zurich University of the Arts and its predecessor, the School of Art and Design Zurich. Richly illustrated and deeply informed, Media Arts Zurich points the way to a new European avant-garde.
A yearbook published by the Department of Art & Media at the Zurich University of the Arts details the support given to the young generation of media artists trained at the institution. This is a lavish product, designed to help promote talented work (and also, therefore, the school) through a combination of short descriptive texts, lots of pictures and a DVD. We are presented with work from 13 artists in total (Valentina Vuksic, André Gwerder, Marc Lee, Lea Filodoro, Andalus, Markus von Glasenapp, Sven König, Annina Rüst, Meriem Bouhara, iMediengruppe Bitnik, Mario Purkathofer, Fabian Voegeli, Roland Roos), some of whom have already been able to establish their name internationally. This yearbook provides an opportunity to survey new media from a generational standpoint, and raises questions about whether there are any commonalities among this young Swiss group. One immediate answer to this focuses on the idea of the choices of specific medias. Moreover, we are presented with works that look at the technical limits and possibilities of various media, and which explore their relationship with social environments and rules. Inke Arns (a member of the teaching staff) frames the current artistic development in terms of being post-medium (which will hopefully help promote the notion of the redundancy of the term ‘new’ in ‘new media’) and stresses the importance of a critical and tactical evaluation of tools used. Andreas Broeckmann, in one of his “Seven short essays on art and media”, reinforces this position affirming that “Even though this art uses digital technological means, it is a mode of experience that takes us to the limits of perception, sensitivity and thought”. And both are simply on the right track.

Media art city intervention workshop
ISBN 978-89-961789-0-3 93600
http://datenform.de/blog/digital-playground-hack-the-city
Nathalie Boseul SHIN curator at Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea invited me to run the WoW workshop/performance for this exhibition. “Digital Playground” is an annual media art exhibition started in 2005 at Eujeongbu International Media Art Festival. I am quite exited to run WoW in korean hangul letter system.
Digital Playground 2008 “Hack the City!”
Recently, the outlook of Seoul is rapidly changing. It means we are surrounded by ‘under construction’ sign boards. Seoul is under-construction. One day, we have the artificial river, Cheonggae-cheon” at the down town, huge buildings, parks. What is changing is not only outlook, but our daily life is also changed. It is no longer surprise thing or imagination to watch TV or talk with friends face to face.
Last year, Seoul city government announced big plan ‘Seoul city gallery project’ which is for making Seoul as the art city. Many art works are installed on the street, overpasses. People can enjoy art in the park. However, take the different perspective, and ask to ourselves. for what we need art installations in public spaces? Furthermore, what is purpose of art in that sense? There are many kinds of arts, but if we can say about contemporary ‘media’ art, it should be more clear about that question. As I quoted above, “artists alone can’t change the world”, but I believe “artists can make people see or think the other side of what is actually happening with artworks or projects”
It is time to “Hack the city!”
The word of ‘hack’ ing does not mean the specific media oriented act in the computer science. It is not used in negative way which is stealing personal information without permission, either. Rather it is right to say that this word is chosen in the metaphorical context: critical thinking, reconsider of our social system and technology. If people think the place/space where they live, reconsider about the technologies which they use everyday like mobile phone, become unfamiliar with familiar things, then we can say that we are close to make the world what we dream.
This project is consists of two parts. First part is related with actual data which artists get from Seoul city such as traffic flow, sound capture and transfer, some official statistic data. For this TMCA collaborated with media lab in universities. EWHA Womans University and Chungang University join with . Through regular meetings and discussions, they are developing new projects for “Hack the City.” The second part is closed to media activism and performance. Like Balettikka Internettikka from Slovenia and Graffitti Research Lab from USA, they go into the society in order to re-thinking about social system by the intervention and physical hacking. Nanna from Korea is doing performance of asking people to buy or sell their time in the public space. She gets into people, and gives them a chance to think their busy life, or time in philosophical sense. Aram Bartholl (from Germany) make workshop which connected with computer game, but in a very analogical way. The results of performance from the workshop, for sure, bring fresh air to the people who will meet them on the street. Also they have a chance to think about computer game or virtuality.

Das Jahrhundert des Konsumenten
21.10.2007 – 30.04.2009, ZKM | Medienmuseum, EG
Im 19. Jahrhundert ist das 20. Jahrhundert imaginiert worden als Technologie der Mobilisierung und Personalisierung. Mit PC und Handy etc. sind diese Phantasien eingetreten. Diese Technologien haben aber auch die Kunst verändert. Die Geschichte der Betrachter von Kunst und der Besucher von Museen hat im 20. Jahrhundert neue Akzente erhalten. Nach 1945 hat in der Neuen Musik und in der bildenden Kunst die Partizipation des Publikums als Teil des Kunstwerkes eingesetzt. Die Medienkunst hat die Teilnahme des Betrachters am Entstehen des Kunstwerkes als Interaktivität zwischen Betrachter und Kunstwerk, im Sinne einer wechselseitigen Beeinflussung, etabliert (im 1. Stock des ZKM | Medienmuseums kann man diese Entwicklung nachvollziehen). Im 21. Jahrhundert erzeugt nun der Betrachter durch die Möglichkeiten des Internets auch die Inhalte der Kunstwerke, die untereinander ausgetauscht und im Netz frei verteilt werden können. Der Betrachter wird zum Nutzer/User. Die Ausstellung »YOU_ser: Das Jahrhundert des Konsumenten« zeigt in den nächsten ein bis zwei Jahren mit wechselnden Kunstwerken und Positionen erstmals Konturen dieser neuen Nutzerkunst.

Marc Lee steht auf der kleinen schwarzen Bühne und bewegt eine leicht modifizierte Maus. Rund um ihn herum bewegt sich das akute Weltgeschehen in Bildern, Tönen und Momenten von Menschen produziert, in Szene gesetzt oder abgelegt. Marc Lee garantiert eine Welt in Echtzeit! Seine robotischen Suchmechanismen werden jetzt auf die Reise geschickt. Sie arbeiten schnell. Die Bar ist geöffnet und bald kann jeder das was Lee soeben noch demonstriert hat, selbst ausführen, während Alkohol in Strömen fliesst und die Stimmung steigt.

Die Publikation «Digitale Transformationen» beschäftigt sich mit den grundlegenden Transformationen, welche die Kunst und das moderne Leben durch digitale Technologien erfahren. Theoretiker, Künstler und Wissenschaftler kommen neben Produzenten, Förderern und Vermittlern zu Wort, um die digitalen Transformationen in ihren vielfältigen Rollen und an konkreten Beispielen als neue Ästhetik und als Innovationsforschung vorzustellen. In der Kunst mit Informationstechnologien geht es um Bild(er-)findungen auf der Grundlage kommunikativer Prozesse, um begriffliche Strategien und kognitive Methoden.
Damit möchten die Herausgeberinnen Ulrike Reinhard und » Monika Fleischmann nicht nur den klassischen Kulturbereich ansprechen, sondern die Medienkunst als künstlerische Position an der Schnittstelle von Technologie, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Kultur denen nahe bringen, die bereit sind, diese Kunstform als einen wichtigen Schlüsselfaktor für neues Denken und Innovation anzuerkennen und zu fördern. Medienkunst zeigt neue Weltbilder. Sie zeigt, wie wir verstehen, was wir sehen und hören. Die Texte geben einen Einblick in Diskurs und Praxis im deutschsprachigen Raum und sind hier nachzulesen.

Software Art and Cultures Conference (2004 : Århus, Denmark)
Software art is a practice that regards software as a cultural phenomenon that defines one of the principal domains of our existence today. Thus, software is not regarded as an invisible layer, but rather as a decisive level and a language working at reproduction of certain orders, whether aesthetic, cultural, social or political. Software art creatively questions and redefines software and its ways of functioning.

Notes
«This book is published as a part of the Read_Me 2004 Software Art Festival. It consists of papers from the Software Art and Cultures Conference and features projects from Runme.org Software Art Repository»–T.p. verso.
Includes bibliographic references.
The basic question is: Can software in itself, as a collection of code, instructions, structures and protocols, objects and classes and whatever else it might include, be considered as an artistic medium? Can a program, however simple or complex and in whatever language or programming environments it is written, be a work of art? Is there a software aesthetic? Or is it just an intermediate carrier of something else, like paint in a painting or timber in a building? Is a program merely a string of (dis)functional bits and bytes operating in a hardware context and performing tricks at the programmer’s or user’s will?

New media and interactivity: what do the latest generation of young Swiss designers have to offer? This book provides an overview. MetaWorx is a foundation supported by the leading design schools and art academies of Switzerland. In this publication, MetaWorx presents the next generation of «Swiss Graphics, » providing a challenging contribution to the research into the theory and expression of interactivity which must surely be one of the most stimulating and fascinating fields of art and design in our time. The transdisciplinary perspective opens a wide field where moments of interactivity are expressed in surprising and visionary installations. In this publication, the artists and designers present their projects themselves, and their contributions are accompanied by theoretical texts which reflect on interactivity in general and set the projects within the broader context of modern day culture. The accompanying DVD provides a video documentation including texts, pictures, sounds and applications. MetaWorx will first go public in October 2003 when an exhibition will take place at Viper Basel, an international festival for film, video and new media.

56kTV – bastard channel has its own programme magazine. International authors from the worlds of the film, art and the media sciences comment on the TV project and the individual programmes, thus enriching the audio-visual online offer by a print & read version. We are investing in a good visual concept and leaving the print-on-demand to our public, since the TV magazines can be printed on every home printer.
EDITORIAL
bastard channel is a cross between a television and a web project, a platform in the Internet that tells the story of itself as a television channel. The channel works with the lowtech and financial means of network art and has collaborators on three continents. Its programme can be received all over the world.
On 18 November 2004, bastard channel has been celebrating its start with six programmes within the framework of the Viper Media Festival in the Basel Kunsthalle. By the winter of 2005, seven new programmes will have been added. The participants are artists from Bangalore, Basel, Berlin, Geneva, Los Angeles, Mexico, Paris, Seoul, Tokyo and Zurich, as well as collaborating text writers, translators, programmers and graphic artists.
It will not be possible to receive all the bastard channel programmes at all times, for our online project operates according to the television programme structure. Trailers will provide information about the times of day and night when you will be able to receive the next programmes in your part of the world. Whereas the terrestrial television stations are working on making it possible for programmes to be broadcast online independently of times and dates, bastard channel is set on limiting consumption: we do not want our programme to be available all the time, and we take the opportunity of wagging a cautionary medial forefinger at the «zap & surf attitude».
bastard channel is intended to reflect the web as a time medium. This is a cross between the babbling TV promises and the hesitant web response of a 56k modem. Some of our programmes are run like films, animating the screen at a breakneck pace, others step intentionally on the brake, tempting and frustrating at one and the same time. Still others bring streams of data onto the screen or make interaction offers where the public can spend 30 minutes or 30 seconds. At bastard channel, even the TV test pictures are interactive, and viewers receive personal answers to existential problems from the Television Sphinx – without, however, knowing whether they will receive a written or spoken answer from the Sphinx herself or her intelligent robot within two to three days.

Die Ausstellung zeigt künstlerische Positionen, die sich kritisch mit neueren medialen Genres wie Edutainment, Infotainment, Politainment oder Militainment – welche sich alle an den Begriff des Entertainments anschließen und aus ihm hervorgegangen sind – auseinandersetzen.
Wer erinnert sich nicht an die Fernsehbilder aus dem Irak-Krieg, an die im grünen Licht der Infrarotaufnahmen aufblitzenden Detonationen, an das Stakkato der Bilder ? Als Mix aus dokumentarischer Berichterstattung und Videoclipästhetik kam das Kriegsgeschehen als Event der besonderen Art ins Haus. Das Unbehagen am Verschwinden einer brutalen und komplexen Wirklichkeit hinter einer verharmlosenden TV-Repräsentation war Anlass im RealismusStudio, die Ausweitung der Unterhaltungsstrategien zum Thema einer Ausstellung zu machen.
Seit Neil Postman mit seinem Begriff des Infotainment die mediale Verpackungspraxis von Informationen zum Gegenstand seiner Fernsehkritik gemacht hat, erfasst die Entertainisierung praktisch jeden Lebensbereich. Mili-, Edu-, Psycho-, History – oder Politainment markieren den unübersehbaren Trend zur unterhaltsamen Vermittlung von komplexen Sachverhalten und Wissensgebieten. Welcher Bildstrategien bedienen sich die neuen Genres und welche Selbstbilder und sozialen Verhaltensmuster bringen sie hervor – solche und ähnliche Fragen stellen sich die KünstlerInnen dieser Ausstellung. Sie nehmen die für die –tainment Praxis charakteristische Verschränkung verschiedener Formen, Genres und Gattungen zum Anlass, die Praxis des Bildtransfers medienkritisch unter die Lupe zu nehmen und ihre Effekte herauszustellen.
-tainment Formate arbeiten mit den Mitteln der Simulation und Inszenierung und haben sich bekannte Verfahren künstlerischer Interventionen längst einverleibt. Es war und ist daher eine Herausforderung an die KünstlerInnen, die Trennlinie zwischen affirmativen und kritischen Bildverfahren zu ziehen und die „Konstruktionselemente“ der neuen Medienwelten offen zu legen. Sie machen mit ihren Arbeiten einen Prozess transparent, der sich durch die Transformation kulturell geprägter Bilder und Zeichen in „Baumaterial“ zur freien Verfügbarkeit permanent vollzieht: den Verlust an Eindeutigkeit. Die Werke der Ausstellung verweisen aber auch auf die Ambivalenz dieses Vorgangs. Sie zeigen, dass sich die Bedeutung von Bildern erst aus konkreten Kontexten erschließt und sich das Problem „real oder fiktiv“ nicht mehr zwingend stellt.

Normalerweise liegt eine Revolution vor uns und kündigt sich mit »Getöse« an. Die Algorithmische Revolution dagegen liegt bereits hinter uns und nur wenige haben sie bemerkt – umso wirkungsvoller ist sie gewesen. Die Algorithmische Revolution begann um 1930 in der Wissenschaft, um 1960 in der Kunst. Inzwischen gibt es kaum noch einen Bereich unseres gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Lebens, der nicht von Algorithmen durchdrungen ist: Technik, Transport, Haushalt, Banken, Wirtschaft, Kommunikation, Architektur, Literatur, Kunst, Musik.
Unter einem Algorithmus versteht man eine Entscheidungsprozedur, eine Handlungsanweisung, die aus einer endlichen Menge von Regeln besteht, eine endliche Folge von eindeutig bestimmten Elementaranweisungen, die den Lösungsweg eines spezifischen Problems exakt und vollständig beschreiben. Der wohl bekannteste Einsatz von Algorithmen ist deren Umsetzung in der Computerprogrammierung. Ein Programm ist ein Algorithmus, der in einer Sprache formuliert ist, welche die Abarbeitung durch einen Computer ermöglicht. Jedes Computerprogramm (eine höhere Maschinensprache) ist also ein Algorithmus. Der Mensch hat die Abarbeitung von Erzeugungs- und Entscheidungsverfahren, z.B. tage- und stundenlanges Rechnen, in eine Maschine, die Rechenmaschine, ausgelagert. Parallel zur Entwicklung der Rechenmaschinen wurden daher auch immer präzisere Programmierungen notwendig. In den letzten Jahrzehnten sind Algorithmen vor allem in der Informatik, der Komplexitäts- und der Berechenbarkeitstheorie zu einem zentralen Thema geworden. In Form von Computerprogrammen und elektronischen Schaltkreisen steuern Algorithmen Computer. Der erste für eine mechanische Rechenmaschine konzipierte Algorithmus (für die Berechnung von Bernoulli-Zahlen) wurde 1842-1843 von Ada Lovelace in ihren Notizen zu Charles Babbages Analytical Engine (1833) niedergeschrieben. Weil jedoch Babbage jene Analytical Engine nicht vollenden konnte, wurde Lovelaces Algorithmus nie darauf implementiert.
Die mangelnde mathematische Genauigkeit in der gängigen Definition eines Algorithmus störte viele Mathematiker und Logiker des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. A.A. Markow schuf 1906 eine generelle Theorie stochastischer Prozesse bzw. Zufallsprozesse durch seine so genannten Markow-Ketten, die 1936 von A. Kolmogorow generalisiert wurden. Diese repräsentieren das mathematische Modell eines Prozesses ohne Gedächtnis, der ein physikalisches System beschreibt, wenn die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Übergangs in einen anderen Zustand nur abhängig ist vom Zustand des Systems zu einem gegebenen Zeitpunkt und nicht von der vorangehenden Geschichte dieses Prozesses. Die Übergangswahrscheinlichkeit für den Zustand zum Zeitpunkt t+1 ist nur abhängig vom Zustand zum Zeitpunkt t. Markow-Ketten erlauben das Studium von Sequenzen wechselseitig abhängiger Variablen nach Gesetzen der Wahrscheinlichkeit, sind also Sequenzen von Zufallsvariablen in denen die künftige Variable abhängig ist von der gegenwärtigen Variablen aber unabhängig vom Zustand ihrer Vorgänger.
Diese Theorie stochastischer Prozesse konnte Ende der 1950er und Anfang der1960er Jahre auch erfolgreich auf die stochastische Erzeugung von Poesie und Musik, also auf Zufallsmusik und Zufallstexte angewendet werden. Der Begriff des algorithmischen Zufalls wurde als ultimative Definition des Zufalls akzeptiert und führte durch Kolmogorow, Chaitin und Solomonow zur Begründung einer Algorithmischen Informationstheorie. Schon um 1930 wurde der intuitive Begriff der Berechenbarkeit bzw. des Algorithmus mathematisch präzisiert. Die Arbeiten von Kurt Gödel, Alonzo Church, Stephan Kleene, Emil L. Post, Jacques Herbrand, Alan Turing haben gezeigt, dass alle formalen Fassungen des Begriffs der Berechenbarkeit gleichwertig sind und als Präzisierung des Begriffs Algorithmus angesehen werden können. Algorithmen sind also älter als Computer, obwohl ihr bekanntestes Einsatzgebiet in den letzten 70 Jahren die Umsetzung in der Computerprogrammierung ist. Die Computer dienen der Abarbeitung von immer komplexeren Algorithmen. Jedes Problem, das programmierbar ist, ist mit jeder heutigen Programmiersprache algorithmisch lösbar. Eine der vermutlich bekanntesten Problemlösungen ist das1936 von Alan Turing (1912-1954) entwickelte Konzept der Turing-Maschine, die aus einem unendlich langen Speicherband, einem Schaltwerk und einem programmgesteuerten Lese- und Schreibkopf bestehend, sämtliche mathematischen Grundfunktionen simulieren kann, und darauf aufbauend wiederum alle restlichen vorhandenen mathematischen Funktionen erzeugen kann. Ein Computer kann also als eine Implementierung der Turing-Maschine angesehen werden. Mit Nullen und Einsen operierend ist er in der Lage, die komplexesten Dinge zu berechnen.
Die Ausstellung Die Algorithmische Revolution stellt unter dem Zeichen der Handlungsanweisung und des Algorithmus eine Klammer her zwischen diversen Kunstbewegungen wie sie bisher nicht wahrgenommen wurde. Op-Art und kinetische Kunst haben Kunstwerke hervorgebracht, die entweder von der Bewegung des Betrachters abhängig sind oder vom Betrachter in Bewegung versetzt werden müssen, um in Erscheinung zu treten. Mit dieser Beobachterabhängigkeit haben sie die Interaktivität der computergestützten Installationen vorweggenommen. Dies ist auch rein formal durch die visuelle Ähnlichkeit von Computergrafik und optischer Kunst ablesbar. Die Handlungsanweisungen von Fluxus, in Buchstaben geschrieben und an ein Publikum adressiert, antizipieren und parallelisieren die Anweisungen, die an Maschinen adressiert und in Ziffern geschrieben sind, die so genannten Algorithmen. Die Ausstellung gibt zum ersten Mal einen Überblick über die Herrschaft der Algorithmen als Erzeugermechanismus in Literatur, Musik, Architektur und Kunst, von den Anfängen in den 1960er Jahren bis zur Software-Art. Sie ermöglicht einen neuen Einblick in eine neue Entwicklung der Kunst.
