Aram Bartholl – Blog

( flickr picture set of ‘Reply All‘. It took a while to cellect all these. Thx to @tbx for taking pics at the opening!..)

On April 12 from 6PM–8PM, Eyebeam will host the official US ‘The Speed Book’ launch party of Aram Bartholl’s first artist monograph. The event, which occurs in tandem with eteam’s project launch, will feature:

• Aram Bartholl, in town from Berlin introducing and signing the book.
• Brad Troemel, will give a talk about “Creative Destruction”, based on his essay he wrote for ‘The Speed Book’!
• Lindsay Howard, Eyebeam’s Curatorial Fellow, in conversation with Aram Bartholl
• HENNESSY YOUNGMAN and DJ AJ Slim spinning beatzZ and rocking the house!

Eyebeam alumni Aram Bartholl’s work explores the power structures, social systems, cultural innovations, inner dynamics, languages, and products shaping our age. This publication, his first comprehensive monograph, offers entry into an oeuvre in which space and cyberspace mingle with and mangle one another in a realm that uses as little technology as possible yet still speaks in a digital language.

Aram Bartholl: The Speed Book is edited by Domenico Quaranta, designed by Manuel Bürger, and published by Gestalten, with essays by Josephine Bosma, Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Jon Cates, Lindsay Howard, Alessandro Ludovico, Evan Roth, Bruce Sterling, and Brad Troemel.

Aram Bartholl
Reply All

Gallery [DAM]Berlin presents Berlin based artist Aram Bartholl (*1972, Bremen) in his first solo exhibition, whose works create a dynamic tension between online- and real-life. In 2011 Bartholl was partaking in exhibitions by MoMA, Pace Gallery New York and [DAM]Cologne.

His pieces are cutting-edge – not just product of observation, but formed by thought-provoking impulses that Aram gives and by the subsequent independent existence of the artworks created by the user. His interventions in public space, his readymade-like installations and sculptures are based on a do-it-yourself-culture with regard to personal creation and responsibility as well as the Internet’s popular icons with whom Bartholl confronts us in reality. But Aram Bartholl’s artworks are not to be seen as entirely digital: they deal too much with space, are too haptic in their approach, and the awareness of potential political influence is too intense – his pieces push out of gallery and museum surroundings into the city space, into society.

Things, that seem to be trivial parts of the internet, irritate the viewer as soon as they confront him in the physical world: In Are you human? a CAPTCHA-code, used by web services to differentiate between human request and automated scripts, is applied in aluminium form onto murals and gallery walls. A screen with illuminating pixels turns out to be a hand crafted object operated by a candle. In a subtle but accurate way Bartholl reveals discourses concerning the power of a digitally affected world, e.g. in his successful, often quoted project Dead Drops, consisting of USB-sticks, mured into city walls, that refuse data exchange via the internet structures established by big global companies.

‘Everything develops extremely fast on the net. I have the urge to create something that deals with the topic, but that endures anyway,’ says Aram Bartholl about this de-digitalisation of the digital. Where media art, urban intervention and interactive performance meet he asks basic sociocritical questions, thinks about our cultural memory. The rapid development of the digital age is slowed down in his artworks, it is liberated of its technological appeal and exposed for intentional examination. For example his new project Dust: Bartholl wants to convey the worlds most played computer game landscape from Counter Strike – a virtual space, a place seen by millions of people that is fixed in their visual memory even though they were never able to really ‘enter’ it – into an accessible 1:1 model made of concrete.

With the performance and installation shown at the exhibition for the first time, Bartholl, who is active in net political circles like the Chaos Computer Club, turns towards the symptom of an already existing frontier crossing of digital and analogue world: The Anonymous-movement and its characteristic comic-inspired Guy-Fawkes-masks, that are its distinctive mark and protection of identity. They have gained huge media presence thanks to the civil movement Occupy Wallstreet as well. The Anonymous-movement pushes forward the idea of a free, net-based information- and creativity-collective – a kind of global brain, that develops political capacity to act without hierarchic organisation and without determined identity.

The exhibition ‘Aram Bartholl. Reply All’ is part of the associate programme of Transmediale 2012.

More About This Book

Aram Bartholl: The Speed Book features savvy experiments with transitions from the virtual to the physical: USB sticks embedded into walls, buildings, and curbs; giant real-life versions of Google’s red map markers positioned in public spaces; portraits generated from search results. An introduction by editor Domenico Quaranta as well as essays by science fiction writer Bruce Sterling, art critics, and fellow artists guide readers through a wonderfully skewed version of our society under the influence of the internet, something Sterling refers to as Bartholl’s “self-created twilight zone.”

Curious Minds: New Approaches in Design

The Israel Museum
December 16, 2011-April 30, 2012
Location: Nathan Cummings Building for Modern and Contemporary Art
Curator by Alex Ward

The exhibition presents about 30 international designers from Europe, Asia, and the US whose works map out new territories and encourage a new discourse about the role of design in shaping the world of tomorrow. Some of these designers also address – under the umbrella of Critical Design – social, political, and environmental concerns, bringing together new partnerships between designers and researchers of other fields such as science or biology.

I am very pleased to announce a duo show with JODI at DAM-Cologne, opening this Friday …

‘Ready for Upgrade’
Aram Bartholl + JODI

DAM Cologne
Volksgartenstr.10
50677 Köln

Preview: 9th September, 6 – 10 pm
The artists will attend the preview.

[DAM] Cologne presents Ready for Upgrade, the first joint exhibition of three artists, who deal with the appearance and meaning of the internet. The artist couple JODI is one of the most important representatives of net art that became well-known through their works that modify codes and appearances of websites or computer games. JODI is disturbing the relationship between technology and user. Aram Bartholl’s œuvre researches the interplay between internet, culture and reality. He is not just asking what man is doing with the media, but what media does with man. The tension between public and private, online and offline, technology infatuation and everyday life is the core of his creations. In predominantly public interventions and installations Bartholl transforms artefacts of the digital world into physical reality.

I’ll show new work from the ‘Google Portrait’ series and ‘Are you human?’ series at ‘Social Media’, Pace Gallery, opening mid September… CU there!

“Social Media”
The Pace Gallery & Pace/McGill

Making Future Collaboration – FRI 8 JULY, 11AM-5PM, Broadway, Nottingham

The fusion of digital technologies, art and design has given birth to pioneering new approaches to creation that are playful, disruptive, functional and responsive. It has also enabled collaborative projects to be conceived and developed remotely across vast distances.

For this final MFW forum we are pleased to welcome Evan Roth, the inventor of the EyeWriter, a tool that gives people who have lost the function to draw, the ability to create art with the use of their eyes; and Aram Bartholl who manipulates video game design to connect the virtual with the real to present alongside our commissioned artists Hetain Patel & Barrett Hodgson, Mudlark, Brendan Oliver & Brendan Randall, and IBI.

I’ll show the “Free Ai Weiwei -glasses” post card DIY set at Funkhaus Berlin upcoming week! CU at the opening!!

The exhibition Land Art for a New Generation opens at Showroom MAMA on June 17, 2011. In relation to this show artist Aram Bartholl will lead the “Dead Drops master class” in Rotterdam on June 29 organized by MAMA and V2_.
Dead drops were spots where Cold War spies left information behind for others to pick up. In 2010, Aram Bartholl started his Dead Drops project, for which he installed USB memory sticks in public locations. Everyone is welcome to upload or download information, creating an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer network for the exchange of files. More information about the project and current Dead Drop locations is available at www.deaddrops.com.

Master class
Aram Bartholl will begin the master class with a presentation about his project. Participants will then have an opportunity for discussion. They will subsequently divide into small groups, begin making their own Dead Drops, and give brief presentations about them. The Dead Drops will then be installed in walls in Rotterdam.

I am very pleased to announce that Dead Drops won an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2011!

[1st released on fffff.at]

Last year I curated the program for the category Digital Communities at Ars Electronica 2010. The whole thing was called TELE-INTERNET and a mix of talks, workshops, lab, hacker space and performances. We also had a night program at Roter Krebs (which is definately the best party place in Linz!!). Looking back this night was very special and became one of my personal highlights in F.A.T. history !! (…besides the TM fake G-car :) Finally I managed to get it documented! Enjoy!!

[VIDEO links: TELE-INTERNET, evan-roth.com/cream, tortureclassics.com and Theo's awesome mixes ]

I am very pleased to announce that Dead Drops will be part of the show “Talk to Me”  at  MoMA New York, July 2011.

I am presenting at Share Conference in Belgrade, Serbia tonight. They have an interestin mix of music, art and web people here, like that! See u at 8Bitch tonight!! :)

This is a scene from a workshop I gave in Rotterdam last week. A group of students at Crosslab Willem de Kooning Acadamey developed ‘Dead Drops‘ spin-off ideas in speed-project-style. After 1 hour we had presentations :) Hanging out at Piet Zwart Institute and WdKA was fun! Cu guys around! Thx Aldje for the invitations.

2011

I ve been looking at these cheaply produced, super low resolution LED signs (the IRL animated gif ;-) for a while already.  End of last year I filmed this meaningfull pair in a kiosk window in Berlin and fell in love with them.  First I used the picture for the SPEED SHOW 5 title in Paris but I had to take it a bit further. :) You find LED signs in any shopping window especially in EU these days. There are also many OPEN signs in US but hardly any INTERNET signs. I had to change that! :)

The OPEN INTERNET intervention was produced during my residency stay at EYEBEAM.
