I was invited by curator by Lauren Cornell and the New Museum to show a selection of my websites on Seoul Square, the world’s largest LED screen, measuring an impressive 80 x 100 meters. The event happened on May 24, 2012 and was produced by Calvin Klein.
I always thought moving images are very versatile. They are energy based, not atom based, just like music. You can listen to a song at home, while you run, in a club, or in a huge stadium.
It doesn’t change the song, it does change the experience.

What was the art that captured the spirit of the industrial age?
What will be the art that captures the spirit of the information age?
Should art capture things, freeze them?
A lot of art freezes reality, it makes time stand still so we can have a better look.
Can today’s time still be frozen? Or are things moving too fast?
Or perhaps things are not even moving that fast? Is today that different from 10 years ago?

I was familiar with computers since I was small, and I had seen the internet on TV… but it’s harder to show a website on TV than to show TV on a website. My first real internet experience was at the library, I was 16 years old. I surfed a bit, mostly looking for interviews with bands. It was terribly slow, but I enjoyed it already. A few months later our home computer got a dial-up connection and I got more into it. I would write down my favorite websites on a piece of paper, I did not know about browser bookmarks…
Dutch progressive broadcasting station VPRO used to have a website with “Lifesavers”. Lifesavers were something that “does not happen in a book, does not happen on TV, an experience specific to the internet.”
It was a series of experimental websites by artists such as Peter Luining and Han Hoogerbrugge, exploring what a website could be, and playing with the slow connections of the internet, turning it into a strength.
I still love small files.
