Biennale di Venezia, 7.6.2009-22.11.2009 The Postcapital Archive(1989-2001), www.postcapital.org, was presented for the first time in 2006 at the La Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona as part of the Postcapital. Politics, the city, money project, together with the work of artist Carlos Garaicoa and essayist Iván de la Nuez. Since then this multimedia proposal in process—that not only allows user consultations but also copying and even modification—has gone on expanding in successive exhibitions, workshops and interventions in public space carried out in Oslo, Santiago de Chile, Bremen, Montreal, Istanbul, Dortmund and, more recently, at the Württembergischer Kunstvereinin Stuttgart as an anthology. In its current configuration, the archive contains more than 250,000 documents compiled from the Internet by Daniel G. Andújar over nearly a decade of creative work. These materials, among which publications, video and audio clips and image banks are to be found, sketch out a vast examination of the geopolitical transformations and the state of the communist and capitalist ideologies in the period spanning from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. Throughout this entire period, the Postcapital Archive(1989-2001) has gone on developing projects of different scales and formats, some of which shape its presentation in The Unavowable Community project. Thus the proposal developed for the Venice Biennale hinges around two major thematic areas in confrontation: one revolves around media imagery and the ideological stereotypes generated during the period spanning from 1989 to 2001; the other reflects on the nature of the archive itself, about which mechanisms of organisation, compilation and representation are used to categorise knowledge. Found within the first of these sections is the so-called Time Line, an extensive series of images from the media and advertising that shape a subjective chronology made from contrasts and antagonisms where the most varied of political occurrences from the post-capitalist period are narrated and illustrated. This sort of visual diary has its beginning and end in the publicity campaign launched by a South African newspaper with the slogan “The world can change in a day”, which made use of the confrontation between two photographs, one of the Berlin Wall on 8 November 1989 and another of the World Trade Center on 10 September 2001. Border Crossings, a video collage illustrating different forms of ‘outflanking’, from a leap from the Berlin Wall to border traffic in Ceuta and La Gomera, is also located in this section dedicated to questioning political stereotypes. A video memorialising the Tiananmen Square student massacre in 1989 is presented as a contrast to this sequence. Also to be noted are the works titled Honor, a compilation dedicated to the Iraq War interweaving journalistic documents, videogame animations and clips from amateur movies filmed by the American marines themselves; No War, an anthology of recordings about the mass protests against the U.S. conflict with Iraq that took place in 2003 and, finally, 9/11 Misterios, contrasting the citizen shock experienced at Ground Zero in New York on Tuesday 11 September 2001 with the situation of political chaos that also occurred on a Tuesday 11 September in 1973 in Santiago, Chile as a result of General Pinochet’s military coup. In terms of the work integrating reflection on the forms of organising the knowledge proposed by the archive, an intervention that has already become a sort of emblem of the Postcapital Archive (1989-2001) is noteworthy. It consists of two large panels that show, respectively, the logos of the primary global corporations and the names of leftist organisations from all over the world, thus confronting capitalism and communism, the market and ideology. The server that unites all of the compiled material and offers the users the possibility not only to copy it but also to participate in its organisational layout is also located in this same semantic space, at the heart of the archive. Lastly we find two proposals that are complimentary in a certain way: an extensive collection of maps, diagrams and cartography that interprets recent social, political and economic changes, relating them to images of the new megacities and urban sprawl, as well as the so-called Postcapital Library, likewise a cosmology including texts, videos and other documents by over two hundred authors that could very well constitute a sort of post-capitalist canon.

PHE06 Matadero Madrid Curator: Horacio Fernández Organized by: PHotoEspaña G. Andújar questions freedom of choice in an installation based on cutting-edge technology The artist asks spectators to enter a room where overhead projectors transport them to various landscapes Daniel G. Andújar’s Hack Landscape installation develops based on fiction to make spectators aware of the deceit implied in the so-called reality of choice. His proposal involves a totally ordinary room where overhead projector screens show images of landscapes and scenarios downloaded from Internet. These landscapes offer portraits of the social face of the world in which we live and differ from the fictitious reality we believe we are experiencing daily. G. Andújar chose landscapes as the support for his message since it is a genre that has acted as a backdrop for dealing with subjects such as political conflicts, victories in wars, everyday life, social questions of an ethnic origin, etc. In his opinion, artists must be sharp observers of social change and measure the impact that such changes produce in people’s daily lives.

Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart On Difference #1 Local Contexts – Hybrid Spaces May 21 – July 31 2005 From May 21 to July 31, 2005, Württembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart is presenting the first exhibition in the two-year project “On Difference”. Between 2005 and 2006, in two exhibitions, film programmes, workshops and series of lectures, “On Difference” will focus on the local contexts and networked spaces of action of contemporary art – particularly in so called “non-western” cultures. At several different levels, “On Difference” sets out to reflect on artistic productions from Eastern Europe, Asia or South America against the background of specific local and trans-local contexts. “On Difference” does not, however, deal with the difference between cultures. The focus is rather on heterogeneity within various cultural contexts, exploring them not as static entities but rather in their movements and shifts.

Almost ten years ago with Language (property), Spanish media artist Daniel Garcia Andujar, better known under his company name Technologies to the People, developed a work which addressed the increasing privatisation and commodification of language. On a simple HTML page he listed phrases which have been registered as trademarks, and with that, had become the property of their respective owners, for example, “Where do you want to go today?TM” (Microsoft), “A better return on informationTM” (SAP), “Moving at the speed of businessTM” (UPS), “What you never thought possibleTM” (Motorola). By entitling this project “Remember, language is not freeTM” Andujar anticipated the disputes concerning “intellectual property”, which emerged in the following years (visible as early as the second half of the 1990s in the fierce battles for the allocation of domain names on the world wide web).

DataClouds, on-line participatory environments and 'open source' On August 13 and 14, V2_Lab moderated a workshop on open source, free software and on-line participatory environments (such as DataWolk Hoeksche Waard and DataCloud2), within the framework of the International Symposium for Emoção Art.ficial in São Paolo, Brazil. Organized by Anne Nigten, manager V2_Lab, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Daniel Garcia Andujar presented a paper on the social debate platforms and independently developed platforms for artists. In his presentation the audience participation and awareness of the medium’s options was illustrated by work he has created with Technologies To The People. Technologies To The People is involved in social debate platforms like http://www.e-valencia.org/. Technologies To The People has always developed, supported and designed platforms for artists based on a strict sense of independence. Their recent artist-oriented work, Manifesta-4, is another example of the important work carried out by the Technologies To The People Foundation in order to showcase aspects of contemporary life. Daniel Garcia Andujar showed recently developed projects like e-valencia.org and e-manifesta.org, which is an on-line infrastructure that will provide a framework for reflection on several of the issues proposed by artists and curators and is in fact a contribution to the overall Manifesta-4 debate, providing a first hand experience of manifesta discussion, critics and debate.

Phoney provides the public with a power structure that confronts us with our different ways of reading and judging systems of control. An interface on a computer screen enables the user to carry out attacks on sensitive telecommunication infrastructures and to send flows of information over the main national telephone company. The programme enables the user to destabilise, manipulate, spy, defraud or destroy from the operative position which he holds. The public has in his/ her hands the necessary information and tools to hack the sensitive infrastructures, damage or destroy systems, make free phone calls to Australia, violate electronic mail, obtain private information an act that for many is routine, carried out regularly in an anonymous and intimate way. For those who have equipment, knowledge and intention, technology can be used at any time, any place, anywhere; it is oblivious to borders and jurisdictions. This creates an interaction between what is considered private and public, national and supranational, local and global. The possible threat to the company depends on both the capacity and the intention of the user and at the same time one´s selfcontrol.

The exhibition TechnoSkeptic, curated by Amaya de Miguel Sanz, questions values normally thought of as positive that are associated with technology: productivity, efficiency, improvement, and progress. The artist collectives Bureau of Inverse Technology and Redundant Technology Initiative, as well as artists Daniel García Andújar and Eddo Stern, offer critical views of the power of technology and denounce how military institutions, governments, and multinational corporations seem to take advantage of it in order to create consumer habits and to regulate citizens' behavior.
