Un castillo en ruinas, la decodificación del Imperio

Daniel G. Andújar

Siguiendo el buen ejemplo de la sociedades capitalistas desarrolladas, la actividad terciaria, la prestación de servicios, se ha convertido en uno de los sectores clave de la economía de este país (España). Diría más, los servicios de ocio y turismo se han convertido en una necesidad, hasta el punto de convertirse en la principal fuente de divisas y en el motor económico que alimenta toda una nueva idiosincrasia. Es un papel en perfecta armonía con la fuerza dinámica de la economía que asumimos de forma colectiva con cierto conformismo ¿Quién no se ha sentido alguna vez en este país, o ha ejercido directamente, de guía turístico o camarero? Nos viene en el DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad). Nuestra disposición para el servicio es puesta a prueba con cierta periodicidad ya que en reiteradas ocasiones nos vemos obligados a ejercer de guías ocasionales para familiares, conocidos y amigos que vienen de visita y necesitan del perfecto anfitrión que los oriente por el complejo y fascinante mundo de la tapa, el flamenco, la paella, la cala, la ruina, el museo, la catedral, etc., según afinidades y naturaleza del visitante, guía y lugar en concreto. Nos convertimos en mediadores ocasionales filtrando de forma subjetiva la información que conforma parte de nuestra realidad más inmediata, y lo hacemos de forma automática, casi profesional, sin darnos cuenta, destilamos la realidad a nuestro antojo, de acuerdo a nuestras preferencias. Y cuento todo esto porque en una de estas jugadas, me vi ‘obligado’ a acompañar a una amiga investigadora hasta la capital del Reino, donde debería orientarla, fundamentalmente, en una investigación que estaba llevando a cabo en torno a la cultura del archivo y que pronto verá la luz con forma de ensayo en la lengua franca de la sociedad de la información, el inglés. Guiar, manipular, interpretar, filtrar, condicionar, orientar, mediar, priorizar, jerarquizar… todo lo que trato de combatir sin éxito alguno, demasiado poder, hasta para un amigo.

e-paisaje.org

e-paisaje.org

El principal objetivo del proyecto e-paisaje.org es favorecer la accesibilidad a una herramienta de construcción —de construcción literaria— para todos aquellos narradores que trabajen o utilicen el recurso del paisaje. Este objetivo se alcanza mediante la elaboración de una base de datos en la que se están recopilando y recreando rutas literarias y localizaciones geográficas aparecidas en la extensa narrativa en castellano. La herramienta se abre al criterio social, ya que tanto lectores como autores pueden incorporar sus rutas e itinerarios tanto de creaciones nuevas o en proceso como extractadas desde obras ya impresas de autores conocidos.

404 Object Not Found Seoul 2007

Object Not Found_Seoul

Object Not Found_Seoul2006’(이하 프로젝트_서울2006)은 Object Not Found(이하 ‘ 프로젝트’)의 디렉터인 한스 D. 크리스트와 이리스 드레슬러의 동의 하에, 토탈미술관이 주관하고, 문형민, 양아치, 신보슬이 한국측 공동 디렉터로 참여했습니다. ‘ 프로젝트_서울2006’은 ‘ 프로젝트’ 주제의 중요성을 인식하고, 2003년 독일에서의 ‘ 프로젝트’의 성과들을 바탕으로 한국의 미디어아트 상황에 대한 본격적으로 진단해 나가고자 기획되었습니다. 토탈미술관, 아트센터 나비, 루프 이렇게 3개의 기관들이 참여했던 ‘ 프로젝트_서울2006’은 크게 리서치 프로젝트, 전시, 심포지엄으로 구성되었습니다. 특히 일년 가까지 진행해온 리서치 프로젝트는 국내 미디어아트 전문가들을 직접 방문하여 우리나라 미디어아트의 현황 및 과제 등에 대해서 직접 인터뷰하였으며, 2003년 독일에서 이루어졌던 ‘ 프로젝트’를 번역하는 성과를 올리기도 하였습니다. 전시 및 심포지엄을 위해 프로젝트를 만든 한스 D. 크리스트, 세계적인 미디어아트 큐레이터 마크 트라이브(Mark Tribe), 스페인의 미디어아티스트인 다니엘 가르시아 안두하르(Daniel Garcia Andujar), 스위스 미디어아티스트 마크 리(Marc Lee) 가 참가하여, 논의의 깊이를 더해주었습니다. 특히 기존의 워크숍과 리서치 성과물을 전시를 통해 보여줌으로써, 워크숍과 심포지엄, 리서치 프로젝트 그리고 전시를 유기적으로 연동시키는 새로운 방식을 시도하여 좋은 반응을 얻었습니다. 이상의 모든 담론과 성과물들이 탁상공론에 머무는 것이 아니라, 향후 현실적인 발전의 토대로 삼아 실행 단계에 까지 이어져야 한다는 의미에서, 스페인의 대표적인 아티스트인 문타다스(Muntadas)의 “Warning: Perception requires Involvement”를 한글로 번역한 텍스트로 전시를 시작함으로써, 프로젝트가 일회적인 행사로 논의의 수준에 머무르는 것이 아니라, 실질적인 실천/행동의 단계에 까지 나아가야 함을 시사하여 관객들에게 깊은 인상을 남겼다는 평을 받기도 하였습니다.

International Symposium and

regarding data/media art preservation, presentation and archiving

Object Not Found_ Seoul2007”

October 22 - 26 @ of Contemporary Art

“In memory of the heroic boys and girls that worked deep into the night for all those months, in those small and hot offices at CERN, Rom is preserved as a ‘place on the web.’ None of the other rooms are still used for the Web. Room is the only and true monument to the beginning of the Web, a tribute to a place in the past, where the future was shaped.”

When internet is introduced to daily life, people excited about this totally different world form our physical space. It makes blur the geographical distance and time zone. When people access to the internet, they will see limitless-like space. Just like this, web is considered as the space which is very of the secured, the safe and most of all, the free. Even it seems to be very much equal space for everybody. However, unlikely our expectation, Web is the still very fragile and tentative space. Unfortunately people do not take this as the serious issue. Read the rest of this entry »

Free Software on the Surface, Behind the Screen and in a Cultural Kaleidoscope: X-Devian.

akb x-devianThe New ® System

By

In 1999, when the art and technology festival Ars Electronica awarded The Golden Nica, first prize in the ”.net” category, to the programmer Linus Torvalds for his development of the Linux , it was pointing in general to the relationship between and art, and more specifically to the affinity between and that part of contemporary art which is concerned with software’s constantly increasing influence on social, economic and political conditions. Like Linux, this part of contemporary art works against the proprietary software industry’s standardization, repression and rationalization of the software , and instead explores alternate possibilities for freeing the software through more open, expressive and speculative processes.
On a more indirect level, Ars Electronica’s choice of Linux also emphasized another relationship between and this contemporary art, i.e. the idea informing both that software is not just a question of programming, but of producing - of understanding and using technology as a means of engaging in a social context. According to the founder of the Foundation (FSF) Richard Stallman, is about ”practical material advantages” but also about ”what kind of society we want to live in, and what constitutes a good society”. 1 Stallman himself imagines an extremely collective and creative society founded on the freedom to ”use, study, copy, modify and redistribute software”. For him, the ’s fundamental abolishment of rights represents a chance to structurally and conceptually ”reprogram” society for the better, and this is an opinion he shares with much of contemporary art.
