The video entitled "/BODY", bring us to a dramatic atmosphere of endless ending and beginning, thanks to the construction and de-construction of the letters which form the “body” word itself. The installation entitled “Jewelry for Network Administrators”, collaboration with the artist and designer Sakurako Shimizu, is the re-materializing of a technological poetics into an object of beauty and value, as the jewel is, because made of silver. The exhibition of a selection of ten animated GIF, selected among those posted on spiritsurfers.net website, is related to technological adaptation of the sensations of the body and it will operate through the use of old Apple computer models from the collection of Roberto Russo.

Required Reading
I am kinda torn about this one... on one hand we should support main stream art writers who approach the clandestine territory of post-new-media fallout, on the other, the semiotic square thing has serious problems. For me the issues here begin before specific examples of what kind of work fits where... "Art" and "Social Media", even as BD defines them, are not compatible categories which could become binary oppositions. Any semioticians out there on Rhizome?
BTW: "wrinkled fruits of inferior understanding" is a masterful description;)

Please join us for an intimate discussion with filmmaker Marcin Ramocki and chiptune musician Jeremiah Johnson (also known as Nullsleep) on the technological and intellectual influence of the video games in KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Manga + Video Games and the advent of the chiptune music phenomenon.

The discussion is preceded by a video screening of 8 BIT (2006, USA, 90 min.), a documentary about art and video games by Marcin Ramocki and Justin Strawhand.
