Aram Bartholl – Blog

(… seen on LH190 FRA-TXL last week)

By blogging this video by Brad Tromel I try to improve my … “constant broadcast of my identity as recognizably unique brand.”  :) Good stuff @Brad!

Re-told version of a lecture given at PS1 MoMA for the release of NYU Press’s Social Media Reader about the effects social media has had on young artists, contrasting the vision of a utopian commons with the rise of personal branding.

It took a bit longer but here is a short video of 0,16 at Sonar Festval Barcelona last year. Thx to @__ANF for support!!

(the shadows look so beautiful, I had to record this …)

Some artists don’t like at all to find pictures of their pieces on tumblr blogs without any context or credits. Olia aka @gifmodel in the contrary enjoys that! :) via http://art.teleportacia.org/exhibition/AGM/

Art aware hackers!! Your code can be art! Yes, no kidding!! Just follow the super easy tutorial below and make art today!!

Recent events have shown again that computer code and its power is still underestimated by the public and governments. The way software is written, it s quality, openess, closedness etc. has a very high impact on which way society is taking.  Some small changes or features in code can result in an enormous loss of democratic values or lead to a hidden surveillance state.  Because comparably only few people can read and understand code it is so important we communicate it, discuss it in public and make it art! :)

Congrats to the CCC for revealing and revers engeneering this incredible piece of software and to FAZ (a leading german news paper, circulation of 360.000) which went of the charts by printing 5 full pages assembler code. Awesome!

BOINGBOING: Chaos Computer Club cracks Germany’s illegal government malware, a trojan that spies on your PC and lets anyone off the street hijack it

Germany’s Chaos Computer Club published the sourcecode for a piece of malware used by the German government to spy on citizens. The software was discovered in the wild and reverse engineered. It can be used to spy on or control remote PCs. Because of flaws in the software, anyone who was infected with this by German police was vulnerable to spying by “anyone on the street.” The German supreme court banned the use of trojans to spy on German citizens in 2008. ….

Sort of spontaneous piano concert in the street during “Fete de la Musique” Berlin I stumbled into two days ago.  Public Space is just the best place for art.

Today on 31st of May, the official quitfacebookday.com, you should take 20 min off from work and watch this South Park episode. It’s a brilliant mix of FB everyday life social hassle and the power of profiles combined with the mother of all virtuality “Tron”.

I hope Smotri.com is a safe place for this material. ;-)

1. Don’ t go online during your holidays! Leave your notebook at home! Don’t visit any Internet cafes! Don’t go online with any kind of mobile devices. Turn off your phone!

2. Being a entrepreneur/freelancer is no excuse, use services like phone.com to stay offline and off the phone.

3. Escape the ‘We are the bork‘-Twitter/FB-ubiquitous presence! Experience yourself how addicted you are to the net. Get over your cold turkey with news papers (or TV which I personally can’t stand anymore).

Yes, it’s possible! Enjoy your vacation! You won’t miss anything important!
