Birth and Death of the First Martyr Joke

This martyr joke seems as though it’s from another, better world or time, because it acts as though it is free. At the same time, this martyr joke is only funny because it is not free and is subversive to some larger force. It is a martyr because the future freedom that it eventually claims kills the martyr joke’s own humor. In this sense, it’s futurism is decidedly contemporary. A martyr joke is atemporal, so it is not uncomfortable in storage. Collapse...

Since September 2016, I have been installing weather stations inside and outside multiple gallery spaces where environmental information was recorded. The data archive created becomes the notation for future intermedia experiences. This document consist of temperature, humidity, noise, pressure and co2 levels from Ostavinska Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia between the 21st and 27th of September 2017. Collapse...

IAMGOD—AESTHETIC & SEMIOTIC RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (WORLDWIDE)

According to the statistics of »Reporters without borders« in the single year of 2016 sixty-one people have been killed as a consequence of subversive and critical journalism, which is more than necessary for a democratic, human world. Still, there are at least 179 journalists in confinement all over the world. As a solidary act, we took the chance to intrude the visual ambassadors of each repressive state—the official government website. Using the names of those journalists who are imprisoned the longest time as a substitute for governmental information, we subtly disrupted the inoffensive-appearing interfaces of these websites to bring the state-commited malefactions back to mind.

Referring to the studies of the philosopher of art Ernst Gombrich, there is development and change of the sense of sight through the times and the arrival of new actors of perception. The work it's about the perception of reality thru the machine's eyes, is realized using the bump's technique that is the way you can give computers the ability to read deepness and asperity.

This is painless

In a free-internet-democracy where everybody gets to speak, the problem is about who has the power to be heard. Social media is regulated by a constant desire: the acknowledgment of others privacy. Intimacy is what a regular user seeks on Facebook, Instagram, etc., but we also know nobody wants to bear with the pain of others—mostly, talking of women’s distress. We, girls and women, have been displaced from history since the beginning of time. Now is the time to take a step forward and show a real, but constructed, image of what we put up with everyday.

This project is a work of reappropriation that is based on one of the works of Evan Roth: "email-on-floralwhite.com". Its purpose is to question the security of internet artworks, but it also has a purely visual and nostalgic role (tribute to the Japanese culture of the 90s). Collapse...

After On Kawara

Afteronkawara.com is a durational web art piece reflecting on the ephemeral nature of the Internet. Artist On Kawara created his “Date Paintings” (Today series) for nearly five decades, using a meticulous system of construction, spanning over 3000 paintings. Reflecting the day on which they were painted, Kawara often gave no context for the paintings. Afteronkawara.com simply exists, and given academic estimates of roughly 55 percent of total Internet websites disappearing/changing per year, the idea of cultural stability in the postinternet era is questionable at best. Taken in context with Kawara’s I am still alive telegrams, Afteronkawara.com points at the fact that mere existence for another day in the postinternet is a notable occurrence. The site features its duration at the bottom, denoting its period of “performance” as well as an intransigent statement that it still remains, despite its precarious circumstances. Collapse...

Part of a wider project exploring - and exploiting - the visual economy of images circulating through Google Maps. In these images, I pair Google street view locations with analogue photography of the same locations - culled using the awkward machinery of a disposable camera. Google's own cameras elevate a particular, 360 image as representative of that space; we rely on it for recognition, navigation, + memory. Other images - not least disposable, paper images - do not belong in that hierarchy, even though they speak from the same location. Because of the conditions of their production, they remain inert - and institutionally irrelevant. Collapse...

Coronagraphs and the Tuning of the World

A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects, otherwise hidden in the star's bright glare, can be resolved. Read more...

A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects, otherwise hidden in the star's bright glare, can be resolved. In “The Tuning of the World,” Murray Schafer introduces the terms ‘hi-fi’ and ‘lo-fi’ as describing soundscapes in which individual windows of sound can be heard with clarity (hi-fi) or those in which individual elements are lost amongst a wall of sound (lo-fi). Just as a telescope reflects solar systems billions of lightyears away with a coronagraph - or an engineer arranges layers of hi-fi sound with an equalizer - in an overlaid print, a fog of strangely familiar textures and figures may resemble painting tableaux, but upon closer inspection, dense clusters of icons emerge like networks of data or pieces in a puzzle. The print has been lost, but a JPG is donated to Net Art for Storage - transparentizing the work’s invocation, servicing information while simultaneously problematizing understanding. Collapse...

Unless miracle processing is done on these files, only their metadata might have any meaning. The images are easily replicable, but the moments they represent can never be truly replicated.
