Recently I started streaming music instead of playing mp3’s. There is something very satisfying about deleting files, knowing that they will always be available somewhere. The only memory I have to allocate is the memory in my own head, I just have to remember names.
I can’t wait till all my digital is in the cloud. I won’t need harddisks, backups, just some passwords and I can work anywhere on any computer. Maybe at some point I won’t need a computer, just accessing the cloud through telepathy?
This week I am exhibiting at With Project Space. For 7 days I create 7 different installations, moving the mirrors and projections and choosing different animations. The images you see here are from the first 2 days.
Open daily from 5 to 9 PM, October 24 – 30, 141 Division Street, NYC.
Opening tomorrow! 7 – 9 pm. My exhibition at With project space, 141 Division Street, New York NY 10002.
The show consists of mirrors and projections crammed in a tiny space. I will rearrange the exhibition for one week, making it a different installation every day.
BYOB is an exhibition format I created about a year ago. Much to my surprise it spread all over the globe in a few months. It makes me very happy to see people’s enthusiasm and even more interesting is the differences between various BYOB’s. Above is a video registration of BYOB Maine curated by Rollin Leonard. It looks amazing, here are some notes from a recent chat with him:
me: great byob! very different
Rollin: It was a total pain in the ass. My arms and legs are still throbbing from carrying plastic bins of technology through the woods. But I’m like I did it.
me: is it a prison?
Rollin: no, it was an abandon army bunker
when they first tested the large guns it blew out all the windows on the far side of the island
me: wow
Rollin: Now the beavers live there… which made it wet.
The Frieze art fair is what it is: a gigantic jewelry store, filled with shiny conformist art pieces designed to make rich people look educated. Most of the fair was very boring, if you ask me. However, in a far corner, there was a dark room full of young people making a mess; the LuckyPDF TV studio, a Trojan horse filled with internet culture.
LuckyPDF is made up of the artists James Early, John Hill, Ollie Hogan and Yuri Pattison. They create internet TV shows, working together with a big network of performance/video/internet artists. Above you can watch episode 2 which I presented, but also check episode 1 hosted by Paul Pieroni and episode 3 hosted by Jeremy Bailey. The broadcasts are very messy, full of glitches and bugs, but watch anyway because there are some great moments. It was really fun to be part of and I hope that shows.
Are you ready?
This is all very last minute… Art collective Lucky PDF has a live daily TV broadcast from the Frieze art fair in London. Hennessy Youngman was going to present today’s broadcast but he could not board his plain… Also today’s set was built and ready to go but the artist was not happy about something so no set…
No set, no presenter, but luckily I’m in town to save the day. I will host the broadcast from 4 to 5 PM London time, and the set will actually be… A last minute BYOB! 6 or more projections with lots of moving images, many performances, music, interviewing, check it LIVE today at Lucky PDF .com
Today we turn the LuckyPDF set into a BYOB event with Rafaël Rozendaal presenting live from the studio. This BYOB London FRIEZE Art Fair 2k11.
