0100101110101101.ORG
In
response to the invitation to participate in the 49th Venice Biennale,
0100101110101101.ORG conceived and compiled "biennale.py" as a work of
art and a computer virus. The source code of the virus was published and
spread from the Slovene Pavilion on the opening day of the Biennale.
life_sharing: 0100101110101101.ORG continues to challenge notions of artistic
ownership giving every Internet user free 24-7 access to 0100101110101101.ORG's
computer. In applying open source's general public license model to the
artists' own computer server, life_sharing radically challenges the concept
of privacy and explores the contradictions of intellectual property. A
clone of the website belonging to Net artists Jodi is published on the
website of 0100101110101101.ORG, this time without any modifications, to
demonstrate that certain ideas and practices - such as the authenticity
and uniqueness of an artwork - must be considered obstacles to the development
of Web art.
Mark
Amerika
was
just named a "Time Magazine 100 Innovator" as part of their continuing
series of features on the most influential artists, scientists, entertainers
and philosophers into the 21st century, is the author of two novels. Amerika
has just opened the first large-scale retrospective of his digital art
work at the ACA Media Arts Plaza in Tokyo, Japan. The show is called "Avant-Pop:
The Stories of Mark Amerika [an Internet art retrospective]". He is the
Publisher of Alt-X, which he founded in 1993. Publishers Weekly has called
Alt-X "the literary publishing model of the future." Amerika was a Creative
Writing Fellow and Lecturer on Network Publishing and Hypertext at Brown
University where he developed the GRAMMATRON project, selected as one of
the first works of Internet art to ever be exhibited in the prestigious
Whitney Biennial of American Art.
Betty
Beaumont
is
internationally recognized for her environmental and conceptual art marked
by deep-seated social and ecological concerns, ranging widely from visionary
landscape projects, photo-based art, image/text/object works, and information
art, to virtual reality projects, and interactive online installations.
She has had over 150 solo and group exhibitions that include the Whitney
Museum of Art in New York, PS 1 Museum, The Hudson River Museum, The Queens
Museum and The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, and in Kyoto. Among

comprised of Joel Slayton, Steve Durie, Jan Ekenberg, Lisa Jevbratt, Geri
Wittig, Jack Toolin, Brett Stalbaum. Joel Slayton
C5
Corporation, founded in 1998, is both a corporation and artwork.
At C5 there is no philosophical conflict in the relationships of art as
theory,research as art, and art as business. C5 devises theoretical models,
analysis and tactical implementations of
technology
for assessment and information mapping. Conceptualizations of theory as
experiment, prototype and simulation are used to create domains of digital
media information as commodity. Theory is product.
C5
projects have been presented at SIGGRAPH; The San Jose Museum of Art; Walker
Art Center; New Langton Arts, Transmediale, Ars Electronica; and The New
Museum of Contemporary Art, NYC.
Douglas
Davis
artist,
theorist, performer, teacher + writer, has played an active role in contemporary
art since the 1960's. A pioneer of video in the 1970's, and web art
in the 1990's, his "live" satellite performance/video/web pieces are seminal
exercises in the use of interactive technology as a medium for art + communications.
In 1977 he joined with Nam June Paik + Joseph Beuys for the first live
international satellite telecast by artists, transmitted from Documenta
6 in Kassel, West Germany. The World's First Collaborative Sentence is
in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. "Metabody"
is in the collection of George H. Waterman III, hosted by P.S.1, NYC. "Terrible
Beauty", an evolving work of interactive global theater (on-going since
1997), uses the bodies and faces on the web as theatrical partners. And
now, "Moralpornography.com", which just opened in Copenhagen, Denmark,
will scandalize our mayor,delight you, and reform heterosexuality forever.
Andy
Deck
makes
media art. On the Internet his public address system is called Artcontext.net.
It sounds a critical tone at a time when media mergers are portrayed as
the emergence of progress. Deck interrupts regular network programming
to announce a general sociocultural emergency in progress. His aesthetic
program seeks a cultural break
from
the modernization of passive consumerism. Applying techniques of détournement,
parody, and defamiliarization, he engages both the politics and semantics
of interactivity. Combining code, text, and image, he demonstrates new
patterns of participation and control that distinguish online presence
and representation from previous artistic practices.
EDT-
Electronic Disturbance Theater
The
Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) is a small group of cyber activists
and artists engaged in developing the theory and practice of Electronic
Civil Disobedience (ECD). Until now the group has focused its electronic
actions against the Mexican and U.S. governments to draw attention to the
war being waged against the Zapatistas and others in Mexico. But ECD tactics
have potential application by a range of political and artistic movements.
The Electronic Disturbance Theater, working at the intersections of radical
politics, recombinant and performance art, and computer software design,
has produced an ECD device called Flood Net, URL based software used to
flood and block an opponent’s web site. While at present a catalyst for
moving forward with ECD tactics, the Electronic Disturbance Theater hopes
to eventually blend into the background to become one of many small autonomous
groups heightening and enhancing the ways and means of computerized resistance.
Fakeshop
Using
video-conferencing, web broadcasting and other assorted hi/lo tech tools,
Fakeshop employs computer-specific strategies of electronic audio/visual
transfer to create conditions in which the simultaneous transfer of digital
information can occur in real time, ie: the transfer of experiential data
being collected at a site of
production,
to remote receiving and/or reciprocally re-transmitting audience participation/collabortional
links. Their work has been shown at The Kitchen, the Whitney Biennial,
The Guggenheim Museum, Gavin Brown's Enterprise, Ars Electronic (Austria),
Creative Time, Next Five Minutes Conference, Eyebeam Atelier, NYC.
Peter
Fend
has
a longstanding practice of collaborating with other artists, architects,
scientists, and scholars to bring their creative energies to bear on serious
environmental issues. Fend seeks practical solutions to large-scale problems,
and works to spark discussion and action among policy-makers, corporations
and individuals. Fend, who lives and works in New York in 1980, he founded
the Ocean Earth Construction and Development Corporation. Through the company,
Fend and other artists, architects and scientists research, develop and
promote alternative energy sources, and use satellite imaging to monitor
and analyze global ecological and geopolitical hot-spots, largely for media
clients. Fend has exhibited widely since the late 1970s; his work has been
shown alone, as a product of Ocean Earth, and as part of other collaborative
projects.
Joy
Garnett
studied
painting at L'Ecole Nationale Superieur des Beaux Arts in Paris and received
her MFA from The City College of New York in 1991. Prior to that she studied
life sciences and environmental biology at McGill University in Montreal.
In March 2000 Garnett founded Newsgrist - where spin is art, <http://newsgrist.com>
a subscriber-based alternative news digest and website that bridges the
gap between the new media and traditional art communities. Garnett's
paintings derive from science and pseudo-science photography, most of which
is found on the Web. Her sources include a variety of documents such as
PET scans, X-rays and other forms of medical imaging; UFO photography;
NASA satellite images; footage of military and aviation disasters, and
de-classified government films of Cold War-era nuclear testing. She is
currently organizing The Bomb Project <http://www.thebombproject.org>,
a Web-based image depository and resource for collaborative on-line agitprop.
Paul
Garrin
is
founder of Name.Space.org. He has received numerous awards for excellence
including Prix Ars Electronica, 1997; ZKM Karlsruhe Medienkunstpreis, 1992.
From 1982-1996 Paul teamed up with Video Art Legend Nam June Paik and emerged
as one of Paik's most important collaborators. Garrin's well known documentary
of the Tompkins Square Riot, 1988 in NYC, shot with a home video camcorder,
exposed through the media the willful police violence against demonstrators
and bystanders and became known as the spark, which ignited the "camcorder
revolution." In 1996 Paul founded the Name.Space project to overthrow the
U.S.- sanctioned monopolies that govern the internet and bring new and
expressive extensions to the Internet Domain Name System, an initiative
that continues to this day.

transglobal, supraterritorial state as a means for refugees to represent
themselves worldwide and fuse their experiences into a global cooperative.
For decades, Ingo Gunther has practiced journalism with artistic means
in order to expand the objectives of the two realms. In his capacity as
artist and correspondent, he worked extensively with Japanese TV (NHK),
covering topics that ranged from media studies to military technology.
In 1989, 9 months before the reunification of Germany, he founded the first
independent TV station in Eastern Europe, Channel X (Leipzig), contributing
to the establishment of a free media landscape. Ingo Gunther's works have
been shown at the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum, P3 Art and Environment,Tokyo,

Irational.org
is
an international system for deploying "irational" information, services
and products for the displaced and roaming. IRATIONAL.ORG supports independent
artists and organisations that need to maintain mission critical information
systems. These 'Irationalists' create work that pushes the boundaries between
the corporate realms
of
business, art and engineering. Irational.org is an international
group of anarchist artists, who created the Cultural Terrorist Agency,
and formulated "Superweed", utilizing genetic hacker technology to protest
and subvert the biological arms race in corporate culture. Irational.org
consists of Rachel Baker, Heath Bunting, Daniel Andujar, Minerva Cuevas,
and Marcus Valentine.
Eduardo
Kac
is
internationally recognized for his interactive net installations and his
bio art. A pioneer of telecommunications art in the pre-Web '80s, Eduardo
Kac (pronounced "Katz") emerged in the early '90s with his radical telepresence
and biotelematic works. His visionary combination of robotics and networking
explores the fluidity of subject positions in the post-digital world. His
work deals with issues that range from the mythopoetics of online experience
(Uirapuru) to the cultural impact of biotechnology (Genesis); from the
changing condition of memory in the digital age (Time Capsule) to distributed
collective agency (Teleporting an Unknown State); from the problematic
notion of the "exotic" (Rara Avis) to the creation of life and evolution
(GFP Bunny). At the dawn of the twenty-first century Kac shocked the world
with his "transgenic art"--first with a groundbreaking installation entitled
Genesis (1999), which included an "artist's gene" he invented, and then
with his fluorescent rabbit called Alba (2000).

RTMark
is
an anonymous group of artists / activists who appropriate the tactical
actions of large corporations in order to reveal / undermine the market
driven society in which we are living. Past culture jamming campaigns have
included the Barbie Liberation Organization (which attacked the gender
stereotyping of children's toys), mirror sites such as Gatt.org reveal
the transparency of the WTO's assertion that a free market economy will
benefit us all, including the environment. RTMark most recently,
in collaboration with numerous anonymous activists, was able to end the
etoy.com vs eToys.com dispute via TOYWAR. RTMark channels mutual funds
towards the sabotage of corporate products for an ultimate gain in cultural
capital. Become a worker, or invest in a mutual fund today!
