DIGITAL MUSEUM OF MODERN ART LAUNCHES IN CYBERSPACE

The Digital Museum of Modern Art opened its portals to the public July 31,
2003. It can be accessed from anywhere in the world - from a catfish farm
in the outfields of Cleveland a high rise apartment in Kuala Lampur.
Anytime, day or night: "Art Never Sleeps".

Go to: http://www.dmoma.org

DMOMA is dedicated to new forms of visual expression, as well as
adaptation of old techniques and processes to new purposes. The immediate
focus is digital art, including art in digital format, physical art made
by digital process, and art in every media and format that speaks to the
advancing technologies of our era.

DMOMA tests the underlying premise: << All art can be reduced to a
sequence of binary bits. . . zeros and ones in endless succession. >>

Not only art, but architecture, can manifest itself solely as binary bits,
and exist solely in cyberspace. To paraphrase Nicholas Negroponte in
"Being Digital":

<< As we go online and deliver more and more bits and fewer and fewer
atoms, the leverage of maintaining a physical museum will disappear. Even
having a dedicated staff of officers, curators and preparators will lose
some its significance as as the museum becomes an electronic venue brought
directly into your office, home and classroom. >>

And into space DMOMA will go also, with DMOMA Deimos scheduled to open in
June, 2004.

The paradigm shift is upon us.

Artists are invited to submit their art, under the precepts of the
Viridian Green Manifesto, for possible inclusion in the museum collection;
or to send proposals for special exhibitions. Go to: www.dmoma.org.

>
>
> 1. Messa die Voce
> A totally novel and innovative concert experience will be offered by
> "Messa di Voce." Two extraordinary vocal artists, Jaap Blonk and Joan
> La Barbara, will be playing an instrument that transforms every sound
> they make into 3-D objects that are then projected into the stage
> space, where they retain their form while floating above, beside and
> around the vocalists. Furthermore, the objects are interactive; this
> means, for instance, that the artists can shift or compress them,
> which, in turn, modifies the sound each represents. This interplay of
> vocal artistry and 3-D visualization gives rise to new expressive
> possibilities during the course of a highly interesting and
> entertaining evening offering a preview of the future of live
> performance.
>
>
> 2. Principles of Indeterminism
> One of the absolute highlights of this year's Ars Electronica will be
> "Principles of Indeterminism," a musical performance staged in and
> around the Brucknerhaus and accompanied by impressive visualizations
> including large-scale projections on the facade of the adjacent
> Arcotel. This will be a musical feast for the senses and, at the same
> time, a musical journey through time from traditional forms of
> composition to digital live performance. In this ensemble extravaganza
> featuring the Bruckner Orchestra, digital music and dramatic
> visualizations, the greats of minimal music, electronic music and
> media art including Dennis Russel Davis, Rupert Huber, Lia and Ryoji
> Ikeda will get together to perform works by Steve Reich, Edgar Varese,
> Iannis Xenakis and Marco Stroppa. This evening of epic dimensions is
> based upon the artistic credo of Iannis Xenakis, who remained
> committed throughout his career to an interdisciplinary and
> multimedial approach to art.
>
>
> 3. POL - Mechatronic Performance
> In "POL - Mechatronic Performance," we encounter a classic fable. POL,
> a toothless rabbit, careens through this piece driven by the Forces of
> Darkness that are attempting to get him to renounce his beloved
> Princepollu. Each time he successfully completes an assigned task, he
> gets back one tooth, and thus recovers his lost potency step by step.
> This fable is brought to the screen via two exoskeletons, and its plot
> driven with the support of five robots; random elements are strewn
> into the mix, plot twists and turns are invented and freely adapted
> depending on spontaneous control mechanisms.
>
>
> 4. Additional Features
> As part of a full program of musical events, ARS ELECTRONICA will
> present Digital Musics in Concert featuring this year's winners in the
> Prix ARS ELECTRONICA's Digital Musics category performing live on
> stage at the Brucknerhaus, as well as a 96-hour real-time soundtrack
> composed by the generative tonal algorithms of KOAN music software and
> propagated in the OMV Klangpark. Another concert highlight: DJ Spooky
> - That Subliminal Kid with "Errata Erratum," a remix of Marcel
> Duchamp's "Errata Musicale" dating from 1913 and the 1957 speech "The
> Creative Act." MARX provides a synthesis of language and electronic
> sounds; musical theater as a work-in-progress played out at an unusual
> venue.
