Fwd: "Echoes of Art" Emulation Symposium May 8 at Guggenheim

> Peter B. Lewis Theater

> The Sistine ceiling waited patiently for centuries before being
> restored, but the digital soot that afflicts artworks trapped in more
> recent technologies can obliterate them in a matter of years or
> months. "Echoes of Art," a symposium offered at New York's Guggenheim
> Museum on May 8, examines the successes and failures of emulation, a
> promising and powerful technique for resurrecting art made with
> obsolete software, hardware, or materials.
>
> 1. SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION
> Someday all works in ephemeral media, from film and video to computer-
> and Internet-based art, may only be visible in re-creations. "Echoes
> of Art" probes what is gained or lost when artists dare to translate
> past technologies into present or future ones.
>
> The symposium is offered on the occasion of the Guggenheim exhibition
> SEEING DOUBLE, a project of the Variable Media Network that pairs
> artworks in endangered mediums side by side with their re-created
> doubles--and sometimes triples--in newer mediums. Attenders of the
> symposium and exhibition will enjoy a unique opportunity to judge
> whether the emulated works capture the spirit of the originals. The
> show includes new media artists young and old, including Cory
> Arcangel, Mary Flanagan, jodi, Nam June Paik, and John F. Simon, Jr.
>
> Of the works revived by emulation in SEEING DOUBLE, one of the most
> venerable--and hence most vulnerable--is The Erl King by Grahame
> Weinbren and Roberta Friedman, one of the first interactive video
> installations. On view in the gallery is the original version, ca.
> 1982, running on a rackful of analog equipment plugged into an antique
> computer with no hard drive. Next to it is a version made expressly
> for this exhibition, running on a single PC with all the video loaded
> on a half-terabyte hard drive.
>
> The debate sparked by the comparisons in SEEING DOUBLE will be played
> out in the "Echoes of Art" symposium, where artists, programmers,
> conservators, and curators reflect on emulation's value for the case
> studies in the exhibition, its possible application to preserving
> other aspects of endangered culture, and the role of emulation and
> technological nostalgia in contemporary gaming and art.

Commissions Update


Hi all:

I wanted to extend an apology for the lag in announcing the
Commissions. We have run into an administrative roadblock that can't be
removed until an involved party gets back into town next week. Please
bear with us and again sincere apologies from me and everyone here at
Rhizome. Thanks, Rachel
