b.a.n.g. lab researchers have been very busy and have a handful of upcoming and recent exhibitions! Follow these links to find out more! We have two new blogs and a tweet space up going: b.a.n.g lab (with tweets) http://bang.calit2.net/ Transborder Immigrant Tool http://bang.calit2.net/xborder/ /// Transborder Immigrant Tool at ISEA 2009 The Transborder Immigrant Tool will be exhibited in ‘Space is the Place’ exhibition at the Gallery of the National College of Art & Design in Dublin, as part of the program of ISEA 2009 that takes place in Belfast and Dublin Ireland this year. The exhibition will run from the 27th August – 1st September 2009. The exhibition includes a number of video poems written by Amy Sara Carroll and designed by CRCA researchers Ricardo Dominguez, Micha Cárdenas, and Elle Mehrmand. The voice performances in the videos are by Micha Cárdenas, Amy Sara Carroll, Césaire Carroll-Dominguez, Patrick Carroll, Ricardo Dominguez and artist Brett Stalbaum developed the code for the project (http://walkingtools.net). “Space is the Place” is an exhibition of the documentation of artistic practises, which intervene in public space. The exhibition will focus on ephemeral practices, which have not been officially sanctioned and which are mediated in some fashion through digital networks. //// b.a.n.g. lab researcher Micha Cardenas will be presenting a workshop at this year’s Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics (HEMI) Summer Encuentro in Bogota, Colombia. The title of her workshop is “New Hacktivism: From Electronic Civil Disobedience to Mixed Reality Performance” http://bang.calit2.net/page/2/ 7th Encuentro Staging Citizenship: Cultural Rights in the Americas at the National University of Colombia in Bogotá August 21-30, 2009 http://www.hemisphericinstitute.org/eng/encuentro/colombia_overview.html ///// Nanosférica by *particle proup* http://www.hemisphericinstitute.org/hemi/en/particle-group-intro Reality raincheck: these tiny trans-b.a.n.g.s are rapidly transforming what constitutes the everyday. *particle group* seeks to data-mine transperversal tales of the global Matter Market, to re-tell and re-own them in ways that unhinge the vested interests of venture sciences’ speculative fictions. To this end, we privilege the poetic (paratactically speaking) in an attempt to slip the false binary qua dialectic of database/narrative aesthetics. Drawing upon varied traditions of performance art and poetry (including concrete poetries, visual poetry, flarf, e-poetry, more generally speaking, experimental film, Zapatista communiqués, the artivist gesture), dance, movement studies, critical theory, we think small, really small, even smaller (the pharmakon), “reason[ing] deeply to forcibly feel,” it takes one to know one profane illumination (to another). http://pitmm.net //// b.a.n.g lab PI Brett Stalbaum is presenting at: Landscape 2.0 Exhibition runs August 29 through November 15, 2009 Edith Russ Site for Media Art, Oldenburg and Springhornhof Neuenkirchen Art Association, Vernissage, Denmark Our view of landscape and its "nature" has changed over the course of history. By examining landscape designs, we can learn about the attitudes of a certain society at a certain time in terms of how it developed and shaped nature. In the Romantic period, landscapes came to symbolize the human psychological condition. Today we must ask ourselves how significant landscapes are today when they are depicted as a social and cultural construct and are primarily regarded as an economic or ecological resource. Is it even possible to think of landscape as intact and unspoiled nature? How do we imagine real, natural landscape, and how is landscape portrayed in digital fantasy worlds? http://www.edith-russ-haus.de ///// b.a.n.g lab researchers Micha Cardenas and Elle Mehrmand at will be at GLAMFA The will be showing the video of Slapshock in the exhibition. Then, on opening night we’ll be doing a new performance called Technesexual which we’ve been hard at work getting ready. It is part of Mixed Relations and involves a mixed reality performance using biometrics and live audio that responds to our movements in order to explore relationality.Then, I’ll be talking about Becoming Dragon (and both of the above works) on an MFA round table as part of the CSULB Visiting Artist Lecture series on Wednesday, September 9th from 5-7pm. There are a bunch of other amazing artists from UCSD and from around southern california, so come check it all out! More info at the GLAMFA website. ///// The Transborder Immigrant Tool was in the Yucatan Biennale Arte Nuevo Interactiva 2009 For the fifth time, Mérida joins other art centers of the world such as Venice, Havana, New York, Paris, and Istanbul, to name a few, in hosting a “Biennale”. This French and Italian word refers to any event which takes place every two years. In contemporary art, Biennale is used to describe an international exhibit. Mérida’s first Biennale was in 2001, and has taken place every two years since then. From May 28 (opening was at 9 pm at Museo de la Ciudad) until the end of June, the Museo de la Ciudad was headquarters for the Mérida Biennale. The event’s theme was the interactivity of art works and the public via Internet and other technologies, therefore its title of “Arte Nuevo InteractivA ‘09″. The Biennale incldes a number of b.a.n.g lab and CRCA researchers including Micha Cardenas, Ricardo Dominguez, Eduardo Navas, Brett Stalbaum and Nina Waisman in the categories of Locative Media and Critical Conceptualism. b.a.n.g lab (with tweets) http://bang.calit2.net/ -- Ricardo Dominguez Associate Professor Hellman Fellow Visual Arts Department, UCSD http://visarts.ucsd.edu/ Principal Investigator, CALIT2 http://calit2.net Co-Chair gall...@calit2 http://gallery.calit2.net CRCA Researcher http://crca.ucsd.edu/ Ethnic Studies Affiliate http://www.ethnicstudies.ucsd.edu/ Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies Affiliate http://cilas.ucsd.edu Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, Board Member http://hemi.nyu.edu University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0436 Phone: (619) 322-7571 e-mail: [email protected] Project sites: site: http://gallery.calit2.net site: http://pitmm.net site: http://bang.calit2.net site: http://www.thing.net/~rdom blog:http://post.thing.net/blog/rdom . -- blog: http://transreal.org gpg key: 1024D/7E8B7A2B _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
