Re: SXSW Calling / Featured Speaker Invite
http://www.blog.ni9e.com/re-sxsw-calling-featured-speaker-invite/
Hi XXXX, Although the offer of a discounted hotel room is very tempting, I’m going to have to respectfully decline. I know this isn’t your policy personally, but could you pass the message up the ladder that this is a really disrespectful invitation that shows how little SXSW as an organization values artists. I’ve attached logos of your corporate sponsors below. I hope at future versions of SXSW you find a way funnel any of that money (or the money from your $1195 tickets) to the artists. For more of my thoughts on this matter you can see my response to SXSW’s 2009 keynote invitation (it’s sad to see not much has changed since then): http://www.blog.ni9e.com/why-i-wont-be-at-sxsw/ And this brilliant video I found on youtube (via Steve):
Thanks for your invitation, I know it comes from a sincere place. However, I respect my own work (and that of fellow artists) too much to consider an invitation like this. All the best, Evan

Hey Evan,
Great, glad you’ll be stateside around that time. In the midwest I believe?
As for a speakers fee, we do not offer one to anyone who comes to present. That’s been our policy from keynotes and featured speakers on down to general panel sessions since our inception.
But all speakers do receive a comp’d Gold badge (about $1k value) which gets you into all Interactive and Film events as well as a discounted hotel room. You would also be presenting in a 2400 capacity room.
Other speakers of note coming this year: Ray Kurzweil, XXXXXX, XXXXXX, XXXXXX, Tim O’Reilly, XXXXXX, Dennis Crowley amongst others…
Hopefully this is a possibility for you.

Happy new year everyone!! One of my New Year Resolutions is to get a bit more active on this blog again. ‘Sorry I haven t posted …’ ;) The anual congress by Chaos Computer Club germany (#28C3, the 28th year) last week was great. I had a lot of fun with a new piece in progress there and as ususal many interesting dicussions. Cory Doctorrows talk on ‘The coming war on general computation’ turned out to be the unofficial keynote. :) He draws a very good picture how closed hardware will affect the freedom in computation.

The Speed Book
http://datenform.de/blog/the-speed-book/
I am very pleased to announce my upcoming book, published by gestalten to be released in mid Jan. 2012.

————————————————- Thx to everyone involved in this!! ————————————————- https://shop.gestalten.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/4453 Aram Bartholl The Speed Book Perceptive and entertaining investigations of digital culture. Release Date: January 2012 Format: 21,6 x 28 cm Features: 268 pages, full color, hardcover Language: English ISBN: 978-3-89955-393-2 About This Book Aram Bartholl’s work explores the power structures, the social systems, the cultural innovations, the inner dynamics, the languages, and the products that are shaping our age. This first comprehensive monograph offers entry to an oeuvre in which space and cyberspace mingle and mangle each other, a realm that uses as little technology as possible while still speaking a digital language. 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 critic and curator 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 reality under the influence of the internet, something Sterling refers to as Bartholl’s “self-created twilight zone.” … read more and preview etc

How to get YOUR art into the MoMA
http://datenform.de/blog/how-to-get-your-art-into-the-moma/
[first released on FAT] 1. Visit the MoMA! (see also How to make your own MOMA artist pass) 2. See the show ‘Talk To Me‘ (July 24 – November 7 2011) curated by Paola Antonelli. 3. Hook up your notebook to one of the 5 Dead Drops and check out the art on there. 4. Just drop your own art on one of the drives and you are in!
Congrats! You have a piece in the MoMA! :) – Aram Bartholl 2011
Since I was in the lucky position to be inculuded in the “Talk to me” show at the MoMA with the offline filesharing project Dead Drops I felt like it would be a great idea to share the possibiliy to show work in the MoMA. While visiting the ‘Talk to me’ show all artists are invited hook up their computer to a flash drive and to drop their art on one of the 5 Dead Drops in the show. Check out the art in the show! Check out all the digital art on the Dead Drops! :) And claim you have an art piece in the moma, which is true! I also recommend to apply for an anual artist pass which will allow you to come back at any time for free. If you can’t get the MoMA artist pass because your are a digital artist and therefore can’t prove to have had ‘Offline’ shows procedd as followed :) http://fffff.at/how-to-make-your-own-moma-artist-pass/ ‘Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects’ July 24–November 7, 2011 at MoMA, 194 projects on display by artists and designers. Featured projects by F.A.T. members in this show:
Dead Drops project by Aram Bartholl, Eyewriter by [the EW-Team] Zach Lieberman, James Powderly, Evan Roth, Chris Sugrue, TEMPT1, and Theo Watson Graffiti Taxonomy by Evan Roth Double-Taker (Snout) by Golan Levin

Break The System!
http://datenform.de/blog/break-the-system/
I met Evan for the first time at Ars Electronica in 2006 riding the GRL wave. The following years we kept meeting up in the same shows all over the globe and became good friends. I only know a few artists who have been that influential for a whole generation of internet aware artists and art aware coders in the recent past. I always admired Evan for his radical openness. It takes a lot of guts as an artist to open up and share your artist practice to such an extend. Creating tools, generate and share open source code that enables everyone to make and distribute art online or in public space is Evans mission. His work is full of hacks for the browser and the city! They range from clever every day micro interventions on an air plane, to digital tools which change they way of thinking for a whole generation of writers. Evans philosophy, the crossover of pop culture and open source plays an important role not only within F.A.T. Lab. Hackers meet rappers! Richard Stallmann and Andy Warhol posing as best friends – back in the days photoshop! It already feels to me like these two fields have age-old tradition of co-operations. Yes, they will have! Thanks to Evan’s high skills in picturing this philosophy he successfully branded a young generation of art aware coders and internet aware artists with his ideas. ‘With joint forces we can beat the shit out of the systems!’ No one else knows so well how to play the click-masses for crowd sourced projects or hits the nerve better with participatory projects on the meme stream. In the tradition of pop-art Evan deconstructs the web with great precision in its visual language and underlying code. He rearranges and combines these elements of mainstream internet and meme culture to visual iconic pieces. Or instead of breaking these systems Evan applies taxonomies to disclose the hidden rules of them. The alphabetical order of html tags or precise analysis of graffiti tags from Paris are driven yb the same thoughts! My own work is truly influenced by Evans (and FAT labs) stlye. It was always fun hanging, discussing and co-working! Keep breaking the system Evan!

site specific dream 8
http://doublehappiness.ilikenicethings.com/?p=4295
I had a dream that I was in Baltimore at an auction of works by Borna.
it consisted of two main things:
the first where he had painted the front of a baltimore row house white, and then had somehow very seamlessly projected various red hues onto it, thus in photographs (taken at night) it looked as if he had painted it very carefully, slightly different shades, over and over.
there was also a crazy black and white video that was like a weird cut up of remakes of scenes from old 40s and 50s movies where Borna had somehow cast very famous contemporary actors (tom hanks, Don’s wife on Mad Men) to re-enact these old scenes, but do it all wacky, like Buster Keaton style, with stupid fake moustaches, etc… mixed in with weird computer-generated geometric pattern stuff that was also processed to look exactly like it fit in with the original videos.
so the auction gets underway and there’s a lot of excitement because there are a few families there, notably one filled with older black women, who are big supporters of Borna’s work and its expected that these pieces are gonna go for a pretty big price. The bidding goes back and forth and is going really high (notably the auctioneer says “fourteen hundred thousand, fifteen hundred thousand” which seems like a weird way to say 1.5 million?) The work hangs at ‘sixteen hundred thousand’ until the guy sitting next to me, a clueless looking young blonde French guy who I’ve been chatting with, gets out a piece of paper to write a bid down on and show to the auctioneer. At first he gets it wrong and puts $1,599,999, the he re-writes it to $1,600,001, and then he wins the bid. Ebay style tactics. Everyone is all bummed because somehow they all know he works for some corporate entity, so Borna will not be getting the local support. The auctioneer asks the guy and he says that he works for Northwest Airlines, as their art buyer.
I asked him how he got into that (sounds like a cool job) and he starts to go on and on about his double masters and PhDs in art history and blah blah blah and he’s clearly more into himself than Borna or the work so I stop paying attention.
