Ascott Roy

Nel 1980 Roy Ascott, che già si occupa dagli anni Sessanta del rapporto tra arte e tecnologia, organizza in collaborazione con Infomedia di Jacques Valle un evento di tre settimane che prevede la sperimentazione da parte di artisti delle possibilità fornite dalla telematica, considerando <<le teleconferenze computerizzate come una forma di arte>>.

Roy Ascott, come affermerà in seguito, è contro l’idea di artista unico e lavora ad un’idea di networking in cui l’autore è chiunque sia connesso alla rete (Ascott, 1999). Planetary Network, a cura di Roy Ascott, Tom Sherman, Don Foresta, Tommaso Trini e Maria Grazia Mattei, era una parte del Laboratorio Ubiqua alla Biennale di Venezia del 1986. Al suo interno veniva realizzato uno scambio di materiali in rete attraverso il network ARTEX di Robert Adrian oltre ad altre forme di scambio in tecnologia digitale.

Roy Ascott is the Founder-Director of CAiiA-STAR http://www.caiia-star.net/ Recent projects include "Art-ID/Cyb-ID. Identities in Cyberspace" <http://www.mind-shift.net/> in the Biennal do Mercosul, Brazil, December 1999, and "The Moist Manifesto" Installation in gr2000az, Graz, Austria. MayOct. 2000.

Davis Douglas

A febbraio del 1980 viene organizzata Artist’s use of telecommunications conference. Tra i partecipanti vi sono tra gli altri l’artista Robert Adrian, Bill Bartlett e Douglas Davis. Viene organizzata da La Mamelle Inc. e il Museum of Modern Art di San Franscisco. L’evento sarà un momento di importante promozione di questa nuova possibilità dell’arte.

Douglas Davis is an artist who specializes in making new media turn inside out--that is, do what it's not supposed to do (he makes video touch you, prints speak, the InterNet lie down in your lap like a puppy). He is also known as a pioneer in "long-distance art," most of all live satellite video and now streaming video theater on the Web. He gorges on advanced and traditional technology, including interactive websites, intercontinental performances linking "real" and "virtual" sources, high-density volumetric imagery, video-casting/installations, printmaking, drawing, and photography, as well as post-minimal "objects" and installations.. He has also used ancient, peeling paper, film, radio, and vintage stereopticons. With Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik he created the first live global satellite broadcast of video performance art in 1977, for Documenta 6. Critic Donald Kuspit calls Davis "one of the more magnificent minds engaging modern art and modern media." His early work is defined and analyzed on his still-active website, The World's First Collaborative Sentence (1994), where elements from his exhibition, InterActions 1967-1981 is presented as background. They include critical essays by Susan Hoeltzel, Michael Govan, David Ross, and Nam June Paik. Commisioned by the Lehman College Art Gallery, the Sentence was given by its collectors, Barbara and Eugene M. Schwartz, to the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1997, P.S.1/The Institute of Contemporary Art joined with several other museums to host MetaBody (The World's First Collaborative Visions of the Beautiful), commissioned by George Waterman III. In 1997, Davis launched Terrible Beauty, an evolving global multi-media theater piece. Its "chapters" have been performed before audiences in New York, Dublin, San Francisco, and Berlin. He has taught advanced media at more than 25 universities and art colleges and served as consultant in this field for several corporations & foundations. Davis' book, Art and the Future, published in several countries in 1973, is considered a classic in the field of art and technology. ArtCulture: Essays on the Post-Modern (1977), is a widely-quoted book of theoretical essays. The Museum Transformed (1991) is what Arthur C. Danto calls "a truly pioneering work" in the burgeoning genre of museum studies and theory. The Five Myths of TV Power (or, Why the Medium is Not the Message), 1993, focuses on the crucial importance of the viewer, the "human" element in media theory. Davis has been awarded grants for his work by the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts & the Trust for Mutual Understanding, among other institutions. He has testified often before Congress in behalf of artist's rights. In 1996, he co-founded with a group of artists and organizations a new collaborative devoted to the digital arts,"ThunderGulch," based in Lower Manhattan.

Douglas Davis reflexiona sobre los cambios que esto comporta para el autor de una obra, en The World's First Collaborative Sentence, un documento multimedia, cuyo desarrollo y ampliación depende del público que, desde entonces, puede aportar (http://ca80.lehman.cuny.edu/davis/writesentence.html) textos, sonidos, imágenes y vídeos .

Kac Eduardo

Eduardo Kac is an artist and writer who investigates the philosophical and political dimensions of communication processes. Equally concerned with the aesthetic and the social aspects of verbal and nonverbal interaction, in his work Kac examines linguistic systems, dialogic exchanges, and interspecies communication. Kac's pieces, which often link virtual and physical spaces, propose alternative ways of understanding the role of communication phenomena in shaping consensual realities. Internationally known in the '80s as a pioneer of Holopoetry and Telepresence Art, in the '90s Kac created the new categories of Biotelematics (art in which a biological process is intrinsically connected to digital networks) and Transgenic Art (new art form based on the use of genetic engineering techniques to create unique living beings). Kac merges multiple media and biological processes to create hybrids from the conventional operations of existing communications systems. Kac first employed telerobotics motivated by a desire to convert electronic space from a medium of representation to a medium for remote agency. He creates pieces in which actions carried out by Internet participants have direct physical manifestation in a remote gallery space. Often relying on the indefinite suspension of closure and the intervention of the participant, his work encourages dialogical interaction and confronts complex issues concerning identity, agency, responsibility, and the very possibility of communication. In his work Kac 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." His work has been exhibited widely in the United States, Europe, and South America, in venues such as Exit Art, New York; Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; InterCommunication Center (ICC), Tokyo; Saint Petersburg Biennial, Russia; Huntington Art Gallery, Austin; and Nexus Contemporary Art Center, Atlanta. Kac's works belong to the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection, Chicago; and the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro, among others. Kac has received numerous grants and awards for his work. In 1995 he received the prestigious Shearwater Foundation Holography Award for his body of work in the medium. In 1998 he received the Leonardo Award for Excellence, in recognition of his body of work in electronic art as well as his editorial work with the journal. In 1999, in the context of the InterCommunication Center Biennale, Tokyo, an international jury gave Kac an award for his telepresence work "Uirapuru," considered one of the best works in the show. In 2000 he received grants and awards from Langlois Foundation, Montreal; Institute for Studies in the Arts, Arizona; and Illinois Arts Council, Chicago. Kac is a member of the editorial board of the journal Leonardo, published by MIT Press. His anthology New Media Poetry: Poetic Innovation and New Technologies was published in 1996 as a special issue of the journal Visible Language, of which he was a guest editor. The anthology will be published as a book in 2000 by the British publisher Intellect. Writings by Kac on electronic art as well as articles about his work have appeared in several books and periodicals in many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, United Kingdom, and United States. Kac's collected writings on art will be published in 2001 by the University of Michigan Press. Two books document Kac's work with critical texts by North American, European, South American, and Japanese scholars: Teleporting An Unknown State (1998) and Eduardo Kac: Telepresence, Biotelematics, Transgenic Art (2000). Eduardo Kac is a Ph.D. research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at the University of Wales, Newport, United Kingdom. He is an Assistant Professor of Art and Technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

HACKER ART E NET.ART

(dagli anni Ottanta agli anni Novanta) [da completare]

®™ARK (www.rtmark.com , USA)

RTMark is an anonymous group of artists whose activities have led to the popularization of economic ideas. These activities have been as far reaching as "Barbie Liberation" to more serious issues as the Zapatista movement. RTMark's principal aim is to publicize corporate abuse of democratic processes.

RTMark employs clever and funny tactics to call the attention of a broad audience to a grave concern regarding abusive corporate subversion of the democratic process. Gatt.org is one of many of RTMark's documented pranks designed to sabotage and uncover shady connections between the government and corporate establishment, as well as raising public social awareness of these connections. Similar to RTMark's etoy.com battle (you can learn more about this in Creative Mindshare) with Gatt.org, the participating audience/protesting public becomes the creative artist. Gatt.org draws an unflattering portrait of WTO by counterfeiting WTO's official website and carefully selected press releases.

Critical Art Ensemble (http://www.critical-art.net/)

Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) is a collective of five tactical media practitioners of various specializations including computer graphics, film/video, photography, text art, book art, and performance. Formed in 1987, CAE's focus has been on the exploration of the intersections between art, critical theory, technology, and political activism.

Van der Cruijsen Walter (Desk.nl – Desk.org, The Flying Desk, Salon Digital – Zkm)

Walter van der Cruijsen has a background as painter and collaborated for years in alternative art spaces throughout Holland. Since his move to Amsterdam, his work is directed more on electronic environments as working ground and as a communicative platform for artists collabs and shared virtual involvements. After creating room and outdoor installations as temporary mental settlements ('think-rooms'), the computer, datacommunication and electronic networking open new features that are still much unknown in contemporary art. He takes his works as 'situations' or 'adaptive components', art cannot be seen without an idea about art and the environment. Slowly the idea itselves makes the final piece and the artwork is a generic element in an instable artistic environment. The artistic environment is the monitor screen and computer peripherals, but most of all the user (the former viewer) by his/her participation and interaction. Consequently the actual art work becomes more difficult to define, since it is part of larger entity and does not exist as a stable object of fine art exposed in cultural temples or decorating private homes. This reflects actual developments in the world at all levels and concentrates on a lively interaction between technology and arts. It enables direct communication between art, artist and audience, which has always been a priority of artists initiatives. But with the use of cyberspace, internet and interactive hypermedia its orientation shifts from local to global. The artist is a nomadic digital figure that can reveal at any moment, but that, like a last romantic being can hide and loose himself in there, deep down in public space. current projects: The Thing Amsterdam Next 5 Minutes online magazine consultant of several new media programs programming and management of Desk.nl (68 projects) with Reinout Heeck development of websites and consults for Akris, Veenman, Stedelijk Museum, KLM, Toneelgroep Amsterdam, Portable Gallery development of 'Hybrid Media' installation, with the Flying Desk Organisation development and design of CAPE toolbox for internet software, with Reinout Heeck development of Wired Café, with Brigitte Salezius, Michael van de Berg and Wired design of Tijd.Schrift, many media network magazin, with ACSi and XS4ALL and Antenna

Dietz Steve

Steve Dietz was one of the first institutionally-affiliated voices to give net art its due course. In this landmark essay which accompanied the historic "beyond interface" exhibition at the Museums and the Web conference in the early part of 1998, Dietz outlines the differences between the various forms of net art that were the first to emerge in the mid to late Nineties. Focusing his lens on digital narrative, Euro-influenced net.art, performance, and the meta-mediumistic implications of a network art scene taking cultural production and distribution into its own hands and putting the work on their own servers, Dietz asks us to rethink the visual in digital culture.

Steve Dietz is Director of New Media Initiatives at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and curator of Telematic Connections, Lawrence Rinder is the Whitney's Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator of Contemporary Art and co-curator of BitStreams, and Benjamin Weil, SFMOMA's Curator of Media Arts, is one of the six interdisciplinary curators of 010101. The conversation was lead by Bay Area writer Glen Helfand. (For exhibition dates and URLs, please see the end of the document.)

Dillon divides Internet sensibilities into four categories: Researcher, explorer, browser, and connector. He goes on to discuss their differences and significance as related to the net surfing experience. He also relates sitemapping and hypertext to previous art movements and so offers a way to contextualize what is seen on the Internet from a historical perspective

Etoy (www.rtmark.com/etoy.html)

(Grether Rheinold) In late 1999, the largest online toy retailer, eToys, attempted to buy off the domain name, etoy.com, from the European arts collective etoy, for $500.000. etoy turned down the offer. In response, eToys obtained a court order to shut down etoy.com, which had been registered to etoy before eToys even existed. To fight this circumspect corporate behavior, RTMark, unrelated to etoy in any way before this incident, launched the etoy fund: a Toywar project geared towards reprimanding eToys by lowering their market share as much as possible. RTMark's Etoy fund offers a number of different possible actions one can take on behalf of this missive, in order to teach eToys and the dot-com industry as a whole, a lesson they will never forget." The separate projects can be supported anonymously and simply require the support of investors anywhere.

Beginnings In March 1998, fifteen artists, theoreticians, journalists, organizers and other cultural producers founded mikro e.V., a Berlin-based initiative for the advancement of media cultures. The founding members work mostly in the field of independent media culture – from video art and electronic music, independent radio and TV production, to creative use of the Internet and digital multimedia technologies. What brings this multi-faceted group together is the need for a critical discussion of the cultural, social and political impact of media in today’s society. This discussion takes place not only within the initiative itself, but also during events that address an interested public. In this way, within the last two and half years an independent Berlin-based platform for media critique has emerged.

Activities mikro’s aim is the creation of a democratic media culture. It fosters the development of such a media culture by presenting and discussing the artistic and cultural applications of the digital, computer-assisted media in public events, including panel discussions, project presentations, conferences (Wizards of OS, House of World Cultures in Berlin, July 1999, http://mikro.org/wos), workshops (net.radio days '98, different spaces in Berlin, June 1998, http://mikro.org/Events/19980606.html) and accompanying publications (Print, Internet, CD-ROM, vgl. http://mikro.org). In the beginning of 2000 mikro initiated Rohrpost, a German-speaking mailing list for media and net culture <http://mikro.org/rohrpost>, as well as the bootlab (http://bootlab.org, since July 2000), a cooperative work place and media lab located in Berlin-Mitte right next to the WMF club. The monthly mikro.lounges which take place at the Berlin WMF club deal with specific questions of media culture (from copyright and cryptography to art and politics on the Internet) and combine the different formats of video screenings, lectures, panel discussions and DJ sets. Besides inviting representatives of Berlin-based cultural initiatives and companies for a presentation of their work, mikro also invites guests from other parts of Germany or the world. In cooperation with national and international partner organisations, mikro invites experts from media culture to Berlin, thereby enriching cultural debates in the city. The consistently increasing number of visitors serves as evidence of the need for these events.

Network Structure The name „mikro" is programmatic: the initiative does not intend to develop into an institutional makro structure, but instead focuses on small, distributed, yet no less influential capillary structures, through which the media and technologies exercise power within art and society. mikro and its members are a genuine part of this mikrological field which is characterized by its heterogenous, multi-faceted and networked elements. These networks, from which mikro's work emerges, exist parallel to commercially formed social structures and are based on relations of trust and the gift economy. The diversity and the fragility of this network of relationships is the reason for the careful formulation of the aim of the association: "advancement of media cultures". mikro thereby stresses the importance of the heterogeneity of social and cultural practice.

Partners Over the past ten years, a network of independent media cultural institutions and groups has developed in Europe and beyond. Big media centers, artistic research laboratories, producers’ galleries, media art festivals, magazines, Internet radios, etc., are cooperating in ever new project-bound constellations and thus create a dynamic, translocal process of media cultural production and reflection. Engineering and cultural research, artistic and technological development, production, presentation, and critical analysis and discussion influence and permeate one another. mikro takes part in these processes within both a local and international context as its members, while organizing mikro's own events, are regularly invited to take part in events inside and outside Germany. The collaboration within the association bundles and strengthens these movements and this energy. The explicit aim is to contribute to the development of an open and democratic media culture in the often mentioned knowledge and information society.

Mongrel

Mongrel is a mixed bunch of people and machines working to celebrate the methods of an 'ignorant' and 'filthy' London street culture. We make socially engaged cultural product employing any and all technological advantage that we can lay our hands on. We have dedicated ourselves to learning technological methods of engagement, which means we pride ourselves on our ability to programme, engineer and build our own software and custom hardware. The Core Members are Matsuko Yokokoji, Richard Pierre-Davis and Harwood. agency As well as starting and producing its own projects,Mongrel also works as an agency through which projects by other people can be set up and co-ordinated. This means that who does what isn1t as important as what gets done. network We are as much about hip hop as about hacking. Mongrel makes ways for those locked out of the mainstream to gain strength without getting locked into power structures.Staying Hardcore means that Mongrel can get the benefit of sharing the skills and intelligence of people and scenes in similar situations, as well as dealing with other kinds of structures on our own terms. collaborations Mongrel rarely operates as just a core group. We prefer to work on a range of specific collaborations. These can be with organisations, individuals or groups. The ability to plug into different skills, structures or ways of doing stuff means we get to stay fresh.

Napier Mark

In 1995, Mark Napier turned away from painting and began experimenting with virtual information and its translation to visual form, creating such well- known projects as Shredder, Feed (which was recently featured in the San Francisco MoMA's exhibit) and the Digital Landfill featured here. Napier's online work has been reviewed in major periodicals such as ArtForum and HotWired and has received awards/recognition at the Ars Electronica 98, WNET's ReelNY.Web project, the ASCI Digital Art 98 show, and the Berlin Transmediale Festival 99.

Mark Napier, a painter turned digital artist, packed up his paints in 1995 to create artwork exclusively for the web. Since then he has created a wide range of internet projects including Digital Landfill, The Shredder, The Distorted Barbie, and Potatoland.org, his studio on the web. Noted for his innovative use of the web as an art medium and for his open ended evolving artwork, Napier's work has been reviewed in the New York Times Online, HotWired, Art Forum, Publish, Yahoo magazine, and the Village Voice. His work has been awarded honorable mention by Ars Electronica 98 and has been chosen for WNET's ReelNY project, the ASCI Digital Art 98 show, and the Berlin Transmediale Festival 99.

Nettime (www.nettime.org) (Geert Lovink, Pit Schultz)

<nettime> is not just a mailing list but an effort to formulate an international, networked discourse that neither promotes a dominant euphoria (to sell products) nor continues the cynical pessimism, spread by journalists and intellectuals in the 'old' media who generalize about 'new' media with no clear understanding of their communication aspects. we have produced, and will continue to produce books, readers, and web sites in various languages so an 'immanent' net critique will circulate both on- and offline.

<nettime> is slightly moderated.

history: the formation of the nettime group goes back to spring 1995. A first meeting called <nettime> was organized in june 1995, at the Venice Bienale, as a part of the Club Berlin event. The list itself took off in the fall. A first compilation on paper appeared in January 1996, at the second Next Five Minutes events (the so-called ZKP series). The list organized its own conference in Ljubljana in May 1997, called 'The Beauty and the East'. A 556 pages nettime anthology came out in 1999: Readme! Ascii Culture and the Revenge of Knowledge. Autonomedia: New York (ISBN: 1570270899).

Rhizome (www.rhizome.org) (Tribe Mark, Alex Galloway)

Rhizome.org is about as old as net art, but has outlived the genre it helped build. Now what? Always fresh with its net art news, commissions, Rhizome RAW and DIGEST mailing groups, and alt.interface experiments in data visualization, the site is perhaps most known for its growing ARTBASE, an art database that both clones and links to some of the best net art you'll ever want to spend time with. THE new media resource on the WWW, don't leave home without it (yes, it's available for your Palm too via Avant-Go).

Alex Galloway is Webmaster for RHIZOME (www.rhizome.org), a leading platform for new media art. Galloway has been largely responsible for the development of RHIZOME's archiving and indexing techniques specific to internet art discourse and is currently developing new visual interfaces for navigating information. He is editor of the forthcoming book "RHIZOME: Net Art Documents."

Rhizome.org is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1996 to provide an online platform for the global new media art community. Our programs and services support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of contemporary art that uses new technologies in significant ways. Our core activities include commissions, email discussions and publications, this web site, and events.

The Rhizome.org community is geographically dispersed, and includes artists, curators, writers, designers,programmers, students, educators and new media professionals.

Ross David

David Ross, former director of SFMOMA and the Whitney, was one of the first major institutional voices to directly address many of the issues brought up by the appearance of net art. At times insightful, uncertain, excited and critical, Ross' lecture firmly places Internet art in the tradition of other media like video art while acknowledging its breakaway potential.

Shulgin Alexei

Alexei Shulgin provides an essay discussing the open source ideology of net art that poses the question "Who is going to become the Microsoft of net art in the near future?" The contemporary art system was based on the vertical and hierarchical system of distribution of information. However, the age of excessive information is allowing net art to travel in new directions, destroying the vertical and hierarchical system of distribution of information

Alexei Shulgin has been creating Internet Art since 1994, and lecturing at art academies on the topics of Contemporary Art, New Media Art, photography and Internet Art since 1996. Some of his highly acclaimed projects include Desktop Is, Refresh (with Vuk Cosic and Andreas Broekman), and Remedy for Information Disease.

Tribe Mark

The Webby Awards are marketed as the web equivalent of the Oscars but of course they are nothing of the sort. Still, every year one category gets the attention of the net population more than others and that's the Art category. With name artists like Laurie Anderson and David Bowie helping make the decisions, how can it not? When it came time to picking the winner of the web art award for 2001, the distinguished panel of net art judges carried on an interesting email dialogue among themselves that Rhizome Director Mark Tribe was kind enough to share excerpts of. And the winner is...? Net art -- of course.

Mark Tribe is the founder and Executive Director of Rhizome Artbase. Despite his high rank in the Internet art world, his identity remains elusive. Mark Tribe is an artist and curator whose interests lie at the intersection of emerging technologies and contemporary art. He is Director of Digital Media at the Columbia University School of the Arts. In 1996, he founded Rhizome.org, an online platform for the international new media art community. He served as Executive Director of Rhizome.org until mid-2003. He remains on the Rhizome.org board of directors, and also serves on the board of ISEA, the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts. His latest net art project, Revelation 1.0 <http://nothing.org/revelation>, was commissioned by Amnesty International. Recent curatorial projects include Agenda for a Landscape, a new media installation by Leah Gilliam at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City, and the computer art section of Game Show, an exhibition of artist's games at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. In 2002, Mark was Visiting Assistant Professor and Artist in Residence at Williams College. Prior to founding Rhizome.org, Mark lived in Berlin, where he made art and designed web sites at Pixelpark GmbH. He speaks widely on new media art and related issues and serves on the board of directors of ISEA, the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts. Mark received a MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990.

Vesna Victoria

Victoria Vesna is an installation and performance artist working with electronic technology. She has exhibited internationally at a number of shows including the Venice Biennale (86), P.S.1 Museum, NY (89), Long Beach Museum (93), Ernst Museum of Budapest (94), and at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has moved from performance and video installations, to experimental research that connects networked environments to physical public spaces. She is interested in questioning ways that constructions of physical and ephemeral spaces effect collectively embodied behaviour. Her collaborative project, "Bodies INCorporated," is devised to facilitate exploration into the social psychology of group dynamics, actualized in corporate structure. Vesna co-organized "Terminals," an online exhibition/conference distributed across seven of the UC campuses dealing with the cultural production of death.

A telecommunications event based upon the children's game whereby a secret message is whispered from person to person till it arrives back at its originator. In this case a message was sent around the world in 24 hours, roughly following the sun, via a global computer network (I. P. Sharp Associates). Each of the eight participating centres was charged with translating the message into a different language before sending it on. The whole process was monitored at Toronto's A-Space. http://www.normill.com/artpage.html
