Kenji Siratori interview : http://www.netculture.gr/eng/siratori.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 11:55:47 -0400 From: Don Ritter <ritter@aesthetic-machinery.com> Subject: NEW WEB PROJECT EVERY-THING.NET DETERMINES EVERYTHING NEW WEB PROJECT EVERY-THING.NET DETERMINES EVERYTHING http://every-thing.net EVERY-THING.NET presents a unified perspective of every thought, person, society, object and history by determining the number of their possibilities. "Every person" is determined by combining the world's supply of ova with the world's supply of sperm, and "every thought" determines the number of different thoughts which are possible. "Every object" determines the number of atoms containable in the universe and the number of possible molecular structures of the universe. "Every history" determines the number of histories which could have happened over 13.5 billion years and "Every society" determines the number of possible societies which could be formed from the current world population. Calculations for every-thing.net require over 4.28 googol octillion (4.28 x 10^127) years of computer processing, a duration of time 3170000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times greater than the history of the universe. EVERY-THING.NET was created by Don Ritter, a New York based Canadian artist whose work has focused on interactive and network based digital art since 1979. His work has been exhibited in 15 countries in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, and Asia, including Ars Electronica(Austria), Sonambiente Festival(Berlin), European Media Art Festival(Osnabruck), Art Institute of Chicago, Musee d'art Contemporain de Montreal, Banff Centre for the Arts(Canada) and ArtFuture 2000(Taipei). contact: ritter@aesthetic-machinery.com http://aesthetic-machinery.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 01:22:53 -0400 From: t byfield <tbyfield@panix.com> Subject: NYC: F2F - Finnish new media artists at Parsons, 10/2+ - ----- Forwarded Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 13:13:07 -0500 From: Andrew Michael Baron <baron@parsons.edu> Cc: Tandefelt@aol.com Subject: F2F New media artists from Finland exhibit at Parsons. A MUST SEE! Opening reception this Wed., October 2, 2002 at 6pm [see enclosed PDF file] - ------------------------------------------------------------ Parsons Exhibitions Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries 66 Fifth Avenue and Gallery at 2 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10011 October 2 - November 15, 2002 Monday - Friday 9 am - 9 pm Saturday - Sunday 10 am - 6 pm October 2, 6 pm - Opening Reception October 5, 4 pm - Lecture F2F New Media Art from Finland exhibition takes us to the unexplored worlds of contemporary art. It combines traditional elements of art with the latest solutions of new technologies evoking innovative interaction between the artwork and the audience. Within F2F the audience becomes a significant part of the artwork. The featured artists and their works are HAME by Laura Beloff and Maex Decker; The Battle over Indifferent Minds by Hanna Haaslahti; mirror++ by Juha Huuskonen; SOB by Marita Liulia; Aquarium by Teijo Pellinen; hit2Morrow by Kristian Simolin; Need by Tuomo Tammenpää; and Mother, Child by Heidi Tikka. The interactive installations of F2F take you face to face with the possibilities of the human - machine dialogue. Many of the works are "physical computing" related. In them, the interaction between the audience and the work takes place via devices other than the traditional mouse and keyboard. Using cutting edge solutions of the new technologies, such as custom made computer software and movement sensors, the works represent modern Finland, a pioneer country of wired and wireless communications. The F2F Catalogue contains commentaries by North American and Finnish scholars and critics. The writers reflect on the challenges and potentials of the contemporary information society, and ponder the role of new media art in it. The exhibition has been curated by Marko Tandefelt in collaboration with Bryn Jayes; the production was coordinated by Juulia Kauste. The exhibition design and visual image is by Finnish designer Ilkka Suppanen, the Design Director of Snowcrash Design Group. The F2F exhibition has been previously presented in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Toronto and Montreal. The F2F exhibition and tour has been produced and organized by the Finnish Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York in partnership with the Embassy of Finland, Washington DC. The exhibition in New York has been realized in collaboration with the Parsons School of Design and the Finnish Consulate General in New York. F2F has been generously supported by Sonera, Unisys, and William and Gloria Jackson. Additional funding has been provided by the Ministry of Education in Finland, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Finland, the Art Council of Finland, DPS Inc., Apple Finland and AVEK.

Guest curator, Zhang Ga This exhibition is made possible by The National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal Agency The Center for New Design at Parsons School of Design, a division of New School University The Friends of the Alternative Museum. The exhibition can be accessed on line on October the 4th, 2002 at http://alternativemuseum.org Opening reception: October the 4th, 2002, 6pm-8pm Center for New Design Gallery 55 West 13th St.Fl.9th New York, NY10011 (The gallery installation will remain on view for two weeks) Contact: Zhang Ga, z@parsons.edu; Geno Rodriguez 212 966 4444 Geno@alternativemuseum.org ********************************************** Towards a Recombinant Reality That reality is ambiguous and a byproduct of retinal overload suggests an estrangement which artists strive to reconcile. A recombinant reality is reality processed, meditated, elucidated and transcended, one which is beyond the real yet possesses substance. It is an ontological one that beckons the anonymous, an aesthetic one whose resonance is the utterance of discord, and a logical one therein syllogists find no dwelling. It is truer than that which is real. It seeks to reveal, to disclose, to clarify what the real hides from us and bewilders us with. It tells a story of sorrow, narrates a tale of mischief, unfolds a drama of passion and dictates a passage of wisdom. It attempts to explain humanity. The extension of reality with a binary pulse, the digital reality, has ushered in a new fascination with packets, protocols, and bitmapping of invisible sphere, the new constituents of the reality. The technological sublime overwhelms and consumes, inspires and subdues. It is a dazzlingly blinding force run amok. Yet, it is a reality that longs for reconciliation, to fill with its hollowness the flesh of life, for the virtual cannot sustain itself without the real, and the real can only be made sense of when recombinant. Let us therefore sojourn into the nether and yonder land of that recombinant reality. Let us not be a captive of the binary, but let humanity prevail. Working with network technologies, artists in this exhibition seek to come to terms with that reality. They manifest diverse visual and perceptual undertakings, from powerful vision of the terrible, as seen in Eryk Salvaggio's September 11, to LeCielEstBleu's normality gone absurd, from Shu Lea Cheang's meandering across the tangible and the imagined where home(less) is homepage(less), from Sawad Brook and Beth Stykers' problematic equilibrium to Olia Lialina's murmur of an unspeakable melancholy, from Wolfgang Staehle's meditative contemplation to Zhang Ga's implicit commentary in a transposed time and space. They set forth environments, milieus, images, and language to suggest complex structures that engender a psychological impact and leave an emotional residue.
