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.

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 ]

“Screen Folding Study / JODI 2011″

'hi  A
trying to fit  a new "carpet in our living'

HAHA …this is sooo good!! Awesome!!!

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!! :)

Tönjes gave me this tiny ‘tool’ because he thought I had left it at his Cafe (MÖRDER). But this wasn’t the case. Then we started guessing what this little needle sort of paperclip tool was good for. Someone said you would need this to eject a sim from an iPhone … is Apple still making you use of the  paperclip emergency technique?!? It is definitely useful to hit reset buttons in little holes but a ball-pen is usually enough for that, no? What is it for? Do you know? It is definitely a pretty sexy, high end tech, sturdy premium steel, well crafted piece of metal. Love it!

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.

( Looking fwd to teach a 1h thesis project class some day :)

( a nice detail found at Temporäre Kunsthalle, last show Summer 2010, curated by Jon Bock, )

Awesome stencil project by Saskia Aldinger. The spray tool from the program paint enlarged, printed and cut becomes a sprayed spray can image. I smell some Yo Dawg meme here ;) . Paintrush. Love it!

Awesome Gcar game experience by Linus Suter !

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.

JODI killed it at Foxy Productions last week!
