subREAL Dataflow: a retrospective game of chance 20. 10. ? 4. 11. 2012 Camera Austria, Lendkai 1, Graz http://www.camera-austria.at/**ausstellungen.php?ausid=** 1901497404&check=1&sel=<http://www.camera-austria.at/ausstellungen.php?ausid=1901497404&check=1&sel=> Dataflow speaks about a delicate balance act between random events challenging the intuitively creative mind, and material accumulations feeding the analytical brain in its lust for clarity. It is a piece of fiction in the sense that there was never a teleological implication to our modus operandi, no concentration on a specific goal and no aspiration for coherence. But Dataflow is at the same time a rather accurate rendition of an epiphany. In the fall of 1999, Vienna became the center of our focus, and with a sense of urgency we looked around for ways of capturing the city within the limited work frame at our disposal. And so we came to the realization that a coherent almost tangible path was actually followed by us from the pile of boxes with photos shipped to Berlin, to the series of Art History Archive events organized in our studio there, to the discovery of the boxes with the 6 × 6 negatives, to the Serving Art series developed at Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. It was probably a faithful thing that a CITY was the catalyst of the crystallization process that led us from the intuitive play with visual data to the coherent data production visible in Interviewing the Cities. While the Archive / Serving Art series were taking the fundamental modernist concept of object trouvé to another level, Interviewing became a complex web of places, stories, characters, and unspoken side events?a piece of virtual urbanism in its own right. ______________________________**________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-**bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre<http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre> -- <http://www.knotland.net/index.php?id=13&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=483&cHash=903daf1680a47402cb27df41501fbcbe> <http://www.knotland.net/index.php?id=13&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=483&cHash=903daf1680a47402cb27df41501fbcbe>
