“Mostre open source” article by Domenico Quaranta, on the SPEED SHOW series and Rafael Rozendaals BYOB (Bring your own beamer :) shows in Flash Art Italy, Issue 290, February 2011, p. 32. – Read the article on Domenicos blog (italian)

Google Streetview Germany went life yesterday and the whole country goes nuts about it, (not enough blur, too much blur, unblur FB groups etc.) haha …. OMG. After I posted my ‘15 Seconds of Fame Streetview self portraits series‘ yesterday press picked it up and I was featured in two newspapers today. Berliner Morgenpost got it quite right (because they called and I told them the story that I jumped out the cafe and ran actually dancing behind the Google car :-)

Tagesspiegel (below) got it wrong. They describe me as being mad at the G-car.  That s not true!!! I would never do that!!! I used to drive that car too!! ;-) But Tagesspiegel is professional journalism, so they called and will get it right tomorrow with a new piece on me and my work. Looking fwd to that! :-) Stay tuned for a scan. (No need to by paper ;-)

v2_ Institure for unstable Media published an interview with me about the Tweet Bubble Series project I realized during my artist residency at V2_ Lab last spring.

by Piem Wirtz & Arie Altena

Aram Bartholl: “The Tweet Bubble Series is about putting Twitter posts, so-called tweets, on clothing. Twitter a social web application that people use to tell each other what they are doing at the very moment. Twitter is in between chatting, blogging, text-messaging and email. Normally tweets are only on the web, by putting them on a T-shirt they they are brought from the digital platform to everyday life and physical space. That’s the basic explanation.
The Tweet Bubble Series relates specifically to Twitter, but it could also relate to another, similar service. Twitter is interesting because it is quite brutal in terms of privacy. On Twitter people are very private in public. Your tweets are public by default. You can hide your feed and make it available to certain people that you allow to see it, but most people do not use this option. Most twitter-feeds are just public. Every tweet is stored as a single html-page, Google will find and index it. It is just one of the examples of the increase in ‘transparency’ in our society. …..

Recently I gave an interview for the colombian magazin on arts and electronics “Elniuton“. Start to read on page 43 of the beautifully designed, paper like but flash/web realized mag. I assume they are trying to go for print soon and it is interesting to see how they turn their digital presence into a phisical feel. I got a ‘thank you’ gift today by email. ;-)

Thx to the Elniuton team and to Lucia Ayala!

Found the trends book 2009 from the art school Central Saint Martins London in my mail today. Nice collection of art and design pieces (incl. my Chat, WoW and FPS projects).

You may have noticed that I am working down a pile of press stuff. I hope it is not anoying to watch all these Second Life reports but this time I am showing the “First Person Shooter” glasses. The editor wanted me to take the counter part in the interview. The report is mainly about the Corecon Center run by Katja Schwab. The TV team ( three guys) from RBB had a lot of fun exploring the sex areas in Second Life. RBB “bizz” 26.2.07 ( german) , editor Jörg Oberwittler.

One of many TV reports on Second Life. A team from RBB TV station here in Berlin did ask me about my opinion on the development of the last year and featured my project “WoW” with a short walk in Berlin Mitte.
