ARTBASE (1)
BIO
Ursula Endlicher's work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. Since the mid 1990ies her practice has been bridging the gap between the World Wide Web and physical reality. She translates the social and structural components of the Web into choreography for performances, into installations, and objects. She just recently showed her new online data performance called "Light and Dark Networks" (2012), commissioned by The Whitney Museum for Artport, on Whitney.org. She has exhibited and performed her work internationally in venues such as ZERO1 Biennial in San Jose, the transmediale festival in Berlin; SIGGRAPH Asia, Japan; Jersey City Museum, NJ; Postmasters Gallery, New York; the Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn; and at the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw, Poland. Her net-art work has been commissioned by Turbulence, and by the Whitney Museum for artport; her Internet/theater work has been presented by the "Theater am Neumarkt" in Zürich, Switzerland. She participated in the Virtual Residency 2.0 at Location One, and was invited to several international Festivals on networked culture and performance. She recently gave a "Lightning Talk" at the LISA Conference at the Guggenheim Museum, NY. Her work is part of the ursula blickle's videoarchiv at the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, Austria, and the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell University.

Far-Flung follows function
by URSULA ENDLICHER
with Antoinette LaFarge and Robert Allen
Far-Flung follows function is an original performance work that turns a physical space into a crashing computer whose population of finders, daemons, mice, and the like struggle to avert catastrophe. The environment in which they carry out their labors is ruled by shifting weather and time of day data from live internet feeds. Thirty cities around the world take turns choreographing the lights, projections, sound, and performers themselves. As the piece unfolds, typical computer user actions such as mouse management are transformed into playful and sometimes absurd movements, triggering cascades of accidents, errors, and crossed signals. Welcome to the commedia of the motherboard.

Facebook User Labor Enactments
The code = The choreography

Facebook User Labor Enactments is a new live performance by Ursula Endlicher, which uses ULML code (=User Labor Mark-up Language) as choreography. In the performance on November 13, five performers and the audience will together shape the course of the show.
Using Burak Arikan's newly developed ULML-based software application which collects user activity on Facebook, the performance will combine this online information as well as audience submitted ideas right on stage. The public is invited to add movement directions to a database which will be used by the dancers during the show. The audience can also try out their own movements of the ULML language!
Facebook User Labor Enactments is a collaborative event breaking down boundaries between user and consumer, performer and audience, and is driven by a continuous exchange between Web and body.
