Wheeler Winston Dixon is now a professor of film studies at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Before he did that he made a lot of (on the evidence of these clips & others) really great short movies. In particular these two clips from Serial Metaphysics, apparently almost entirely constructed from TV ads, whet the appetite for a viewing of the whole twenty minutes. Dixon conjures fever dream magic from commercial banality.

Interview with Alejandro Tamayo


0alejandroooo.jpg

Alejandro Tamayo is an artist-engineer and a teacher working in the intersections of design, art and new technologies in a country that is often seen as the land of wild cartels, coffee, futbol, the terribly boring Fernando Botero (i'm quoting you here, Alejandro!): Colombia. I discovered his work by chance. He had emailed me to say that he wished i'd cover more of the Latin American art scene. That's something i'd love to do but i wouldn't know where to look for information about what's going on up there (although i read Spanish). Then i realized that the best way to start was to ask a few questions to Alejandro about the lab he's currently directing in Bogota.

The v*i*d*a lab, part of the Aesthetics Department at the Javeriana University, is focusing on the development of new design products and ideas. Guided by a reflexion on life itself, the course proposes to engage with organic (biological) and "post-organic" (electronic, digital) visions, trying to identify new relationships and interrogations that could be translated into the realization of concrete projects.

Reflections on Utopia: Sarawut Chutiwongpeti's Work in Perspective.


Reflections on Utopia: Sarawut Chutiwongpeti's Work in Perspective.
By Seth Thompson

Two years have passed, since Sarawut Chutiwongpeti's Utopia 1997 came
to my attention. At first, I was intrigued by the aesthetics of the
piece and did not realize the implicit foresight that the work would
have in the upcoming years. Due to a chain of events two years ago,
I had placed the article on the backburner.

Recently, Chutiwongpeti contacted me in regard to the status of the
article. This exchange began a dialogue with him that spurred me to
look once again at his work and to reexamine his ideas in a June 2002
timeframe. With such events as the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks on the United States' financial and political capitols;
inflated conflicts between Palestine and Israel; and now threats of
suicide bombers and anthrax have crept into the United States
landscape, I realize how Chutiwongpeti's work foreshadowed these
events.

The installation presents the viewer with ideas of more than just
gorgeous lights and lines within an environment. Pieces of broken
glass lay on the floor; dates of long ago events accompanied by
different geographical locales such as Iran and other texts are
scattered throughout the room; video monitors lay on the floor
presenting "man's" great accomplishments; and missile crater relics
are encapsulated in this environmental sculpture. Utopia 1997 is not
a depiction of Eden, but rather envelopes remnants of chaos and
danger of a society past. It is a cautionary sign to be wary amidst
superficial peace and beauty.

The piece reminds me of Thomas Cole's 1836 painting The Course of
Empire: Desolation which can be found at the New York Historical
Society. The final piece in a series of five, the painting
illustrates the aftermath of a society once great--destroyed by
warfare, overindulgence and greed. Nature is now overtaking the
architectural artifacts of the once great society--slowly returning
the urban landscape to its natural beauty. In Chutiwongpeti's
installation Utopia 1997, sounds of nature are all that remain except
for audio artifacts from the media that reminds the viewer of what
once was.

Chutiwongpeti writes,

"The contradictory side of utopia is full of pessimism. Man's quest
to conquer distant galaxies, endless search for territories and
colonies reflect this inner instinct for power, aggrandizement, and
control. The imbalance of power between those who control and those
under control has contributed to this order and dilemma.

In the era of confusion and distortion values of aesthetics and
common sense have been greatly transformed. At the end of the
century we are facing the crisis of world civilization."

It is my fear that Chitowngpeti is right--that we live in a world
that is becoming increasingly chaotic and inhumane. I ask myself,
"Why are we killing each other in the name of religion? Isn't
spirituality and religion's mission to provide us with a structure
for peaceful living?" The beautiful facade of Utopia 1997 is evident
at first glance but as we look closer we begin to see some possible
disturbing artifacts of our future's past.

Born in Thailand, Sarawut Chutiwongpeti is a young artist who has
already received international acclaim. He can be reached at
utopia1998@hotmail.com . His website is:

Evolving Traditions: Artists Working in New Media


NEW DOCUMENTARY PROFILES FOUR ARTISTS WHO USE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TO
CREATE INNOVATIVE ARTWORK

Akron, Ohio-June 4, 2002- Media artist Seth Thompson recently
completed the documentary Evolving Traditions: Artists Working in New
Media. The hour-long documentary focuses on four internationally
recognized artists and how their work has evolved from traditional
disciplines into the form now coined "New Media."

The documentary is currently distributed by Wigged Productions and is
available for $29.95 (includes S/H) at
http://www.wigged.net/evolvingtraditions/ .

Featured in the documentary are artists Mark Amerika, Tennessee Rice
Dixon, Toni Dove and Troika Ranch. Ranging in such diverse artistic
backgrounds as painting, dance, music, bookmaking and writing, these
artists have incorporated current computer technology into their work
to enhance their artistic visions.

"The documentary serves two purposes," said Thompson. "One, to show
people how artists are incorporating computer technology into their
work with new and innovative ideas. Two, to serve as an historical
document, so that in the future people can look back to the beginning
of the 21st century and see what some of the leaders in this movement
were thinking at the earliest stages of this developing new art form."

Don Freeman, director of programming at PBS Channels 45/49, said,
"The evolving interaction between artists and computer/video
technology is an area that hasn't been explored often in traditional
television terms. Thompson's documentary will significantly
contribute to a wider understanding of this field."

Evolving Traditions: Artists Working New Media was supported in part
by generous grants and contributions from the Ohio Arts Council, the
Wexner Center Media Arts Program at The Ohio State University, Media
100 Inc., and The University of Akron (Myer's Faculty Grant).

Mark Amerika
Mark Amerika, a "Time Magazine Top 100 Innovator," is the author of
two novels, The Kafka Chronicles and Sexual Blood. His most acclaimed
project Grammatron (www.grammatron.com), a groundbreaking work of
Internet art, was one of the first Web sites to be included in the
prestigious Whitney Biennial. Amerika is also the publisher of Alt-X
(www.altx.com), dubbed "the literary publishing model of the future"
by Publisher's Weekly.

Tennessee Rice Dixon
Tennessee Rice Dixon creates interactive texts and animated works for
CD and performance art. Her first interactive digital work, Scrutiny
in the Great Round, is an award-winning CD-Rom that is dreamlike in
effect and sensibility. Scrutiny is based on her limited edition
artist book of the same name. Her recent work is focused on moving
pictures with verse and behaviors responsive to sound and other
environmental data. Dixon currently teaches at the School of Visual
Arts, New York.

Toni Dove
Toni Dove is an artist/independent producer who works primarily with
electronic media, including virtual reality and interactive video
installations, performance and DVD-ROMs that engage viewers in
responsive and immersive narrative environments. Dove has received
numerous grants for her work, including support from the National
Endowment for the Arts, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Langlois
Foundation.

Troika Ranch
Since forming the dance theater company Troika Ranch in 1993,
Artistic Directors Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello have been
creating dynamic live performances that combine dance, music, theater
and interactive digital media. Through fierce choreography, dense
musical scores and an evocative use of media and theater, they
explore how we can maintain our most human attributes in a time of
accelerating change and growing physical disconnection

over the Internet. Our mission is to be a showcase, distribution and

Wigged.net is for audiences seeking innovative alternatives to

******************************************
NOW SHOWING

Check out featured artists in the new issue of Wigged.net:

Humberto Ramirez's HATE.
Ramirez writes, "This is a video in which the cultural dynamics of
hatred are explored through a series of talking heads and monologues.
The video seeks to denaturalize a condition in which the potential
solidarity amongst different people is subverted by notions of
nationalism, race, gender, class etc.
By problematizing what seems to remain hidden or at least unspoken
this work seeks to provoke a conversation." United States. 2002.

Agricola de Cologne's Never Wake Up.
Based on the artist's poem of the same name. The poem/movie uses
some fundamental images: The "soldier" is metaphor for the human
individual. "War" is a metaphor for life, respectively the fights of
everyday day life; and the "veteran of war" is the human being who
cannot rid himself of the shadows of the past. Never Wake Up
addresses the loss of identity where the soldiers become distorted
and veterans have difficulty with reintegration into post-war
society. Germany. 2001.

Jimpunk's www.nowar.nogame.org.
Jimpunk ironically states that in his piece www.nowar.nogame.org,
"everything is under control." However get ready for a nerve-racking
event. At first you may think that your computer has been infected
with a virus. But don't worry, it's not. Fasten your seatbelt as
you embark on a mind-blowing journey that is a masterful mixture of
image and sound. Kudos to jimpunk! France. 2001.

Daniel Young's NewZoid.
NewZoid is a work of generative art. It plays with the most common
information form of our time - the headline. NewZoid continuously
collects the daily news, tears it apart, chops it up and endlessly
reassembles the pieces into absurd, funny, shocking and
thought-provoking headlines. The Site has been operating on its own
since April 8, 2001. United States. 2001.

Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez & Gustavo Matamoros's L'Anatomie du Desir.
This assemblage of erotic images, found and damaged footage, and
handcrafted 16mm film was originally projected onto the torso of
Butoh artist Helena Thevenot as part of the one-hour collaborative
piece "The Anatomy of Desire." A tribute to biophysical impulses,
the video version synchronizes the film to its original score by
Gustavo Matamoros. United States. 2002.

Thomas Swiss and Seth Thompson's In the Woods.
In the Woods, a collaborative effort between Thom Swiss and Seth
Thompson examines the ideas of memory, aging and loss. The result of
the collaboration suggests the way language (in this case a poem by
Swiss) can be re-represented and changed by images (a film by
Thompson). United States. 2002.
