internet as an artistic medium networking is an artform in itself and the computer is just a tool mark amerika, 2000 full writers and artists are going to have to get massive web presence, if they want to have any kind of effect on that culture mark amerika, 2000 full as hypertext is useless to us, we have to find other ways to make people navigate, or have the navigation happen as if by itself dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full identity you're getting rid of the individual artist or author as genius, and putting in its place more of a collaborative network composed of teams of artist-writers who work together, to create these constantly changing, in-flux, works in progress, that don't have any closure to them mark amerika, 2000 full we explore the computer from inside, and mirror this on the net. when a viewer looks at our work, we are inside his computer. there is this hacker slogan: "we love your computer." we also get inside people's computers. and we are honored to be in somebody's computer. you are very close to a person when you are on his desktop. i think the computer is a device to get into someone's mind. we replace this mythological notion of a virtual society on the net or whatever with our own work. we put our own personality there dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full we decided to put the work immediately on the screen, without our press releases and without our bio. we don't use our site to present information. we present screens and things that are happening in these screens. we avoid explanations dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full art and artist there is no "art"-label on our work. in the medium, in which it is perceived, people don't care about this label. but if we show our work in a gallery space, the label "art" is on what we do. and we have to find "art ways" to show our work dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full what is art? a pretentious thing that tries to take the fun out of working with the net and impose its standards on us dirk paesmans []jodi, 2001 full art vs entertainment Internet enables the artist to locate a more globally-distributed popular audience for works that experiment with popular forms mark amerika, 2000 full art vs business we're losing a lot of creative artists into the commercial side of the internet because it is absorbing creative types, because they need provocateurs, people who are ready to challenge the system. that's what's driving the global economy right now mark amerika, 2000 full there should be no shame when you make something that is good, be it on a computerscreen, videotape, an etching, whatever, to sell it dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full net.art and galleries in kassel [documenta], the interface for showing net art is the office. this metaphor is too much of an cliche. It's meant to be some kind of joke, but it is not funny. it is vulgar, it's too easy. it doesn't work. and now it will be repeated over and over again dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full original vs copy originality is dead mark amerika in his amerika online column i'm catching these content streams that are coming in from all directions, and i'm remixing them on the fly, and as i remix them i am manipulating them so that i can create the narrative experience of the moment. to me, it's not necessarily original, it's just that i'm performing a function. it's like a new author function. it doesn't feel original to me mark amerika, 2000 full blurring boundaries i'm really interested in collaborating with djs on a kind of dj-writing style. i approach it as a novelist, they approach it as djs, and in the middle we learn to become something different, i become more of a dj, and they become more of a narrative artist mark amerika, 2000 full freedom vs categories no matter what you're doing, you don't have to compromise your work to meet the needs of a particular editor or agent who says: "this is what the publishing world is about and you have to make these alterations, so that we can then generate income from your work" mark amerika, 2000 full i'd rather have the proliferation of more crap on the Internet than market censorship as in the multinational corporate publishing industry mark amerika, 2000 full the technique to create confusion and to mix things up has been used often before, but with this specific medium we made an early start. a reason for this is that we left the netherlands on our own for san jose, california. silicon valley. we went there to see how all this apple stuff and all software and applications, photoshop, macromind, netscape 'lives' there. what kind of people make this. this is very interesting to us. in some way we feel very involved, it is a bit of a personal matter to turn netscape inside out for instance. i have a picture in my mind of the people that make it. and not just how they make it, but also of how they view it themselves within the states and canada. how they see their internet. 'their' internet, you can say that for sure dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full an interface is a translation of code into a visual surface that you believe in dirk paesmans []jodi, 2001 full one thing we have not done from the beginning is base our work on lay out. the page. we are dealing with screens dirk paesmans []jodi, 1997 full we can't accept the idea that print design rules also define layout on computer screen dirk paesmans []jodi, 2001 full we get a lot of ideas from making errors ourselves at our own computer - when the system locks, gets frozen, shakes and flips while crashing.. we want to share these rare moments with everyone dirk paesmans []jodi, 2001 full if you go on a road without any signs it's a nice space, but if you go on a road with white lines it makes people go faster outlawing low velocity presence like loitering heath bunting |
