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.
