Presented in the exhibition as an upgrade of almost 100 images, the internet project Armed Citizen shows a series of 17 small arms. No information is given on their origins. Who owns them? Are they being used as criminal evidence? Are they perhaps murder weapons? Who does the ›armed citizen‹ of the title refer to — the police? Or a citizens’ defence group that has taken up arms? Is there some allusion to the liberal firearms laws in the United States, to bloody incidents like the amok shootings that took place in Columbine High School, Colorado, in 1999, or in the Gutenberg Gymnasium in Erfurt in 2002? Armed Citizen is difficult to pin down. But it is safe to assert that it deals with an indeterminate feeling of fear and menace, and, by association, with the growing longing for security in a world felt to be increasingly less safe. The exhibition deliberately groups Armed Citizen in a kind of »security zone« together with Heath Bunting’s CCTV and Rachel Baker and Heath Bunting’s CCTV Sabotag — further irational works pointing to the essential futility of technology — or weapons based protective measures.

Hardly a day goes by without some news item about the discovery of a carefully concealed crop of genetically modified maize, about liquid explosives in airplanes and bombs inside suitcases on trains, about calls for blanket video surveillance, about the global spread of avian ’flu. We wonder when the virus will reach our own part of the world, have long begun to feel the pinch of economic cutbacks in Germany, to notice the effects of climate change, and cannot help but think: Life’s harder than it used to be.

by Inke Arns (published in: Nam June Paik Award 2006, Frankfurt am Main 2006)
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).

A lo largo de la década han participado en los programas del centro canadiense más de 600 artistas. Daniel Andújar figura en la muestra antológica
R. BOSCO / S. CALDANA 06/10/2005
El país
El Banff Centre fue creado en 1933 por la Universidad de Alberta, en la solitaria y nevada inmensidad de las Montañas Rocosas canadienses, para proporcionar a investigadores y artistas un entorno privilegiado para inspirarse y crear.
El centro, originariamente dedicado a las Bellas Artes, se ha ido ampliando incorporando departamentos consagrados a las disciplinas audiovisuales. El más reciente, el Banff Media Institute, centrado en las aplicaciones artísticas de las nuevas tecnologías, cumple 10 años y los celebra con una retrospectiva que analiza este periodo a través de una serie de obras emblemáticas.
A lo largo de esta década, han sido más de 600 los artistas que han participado en las iniciativas del centro y que, gracias a su programa de residencias, se han inspirado en este espectacular enclave y producido obras en sus también espectaculares laboratorios. De ellos, 14 han sido elegidos para la exposición The Art Formerly Known as New Media (El arte antes conocido como new media, en inglés), cuyo título alude al rápido desarrollo del medio y a las diferentes expresiones artísticas en que se ha fragmentado.

Presented on a monitor » Like every other company Technologies To The People (TTTP) is highly aware of (the value of) its public image and how this image is presented through different media. In this promotional video a number of international tech-economic experts praise the values and ethics of TTTP. However, originally the experts were not hired and paid by TTTP but by its market rivals — global corporations like Dell, Microsoft, and so forth. The promotional video strings together sequences hijacked from corporate PR videos and the abstract concepts they use to deliver ultra-positive descriptions of their companies’ imagined role in the world. Thus, it adopts the language and visuals of business to promote the rival notion of a human-centred and common culture, subtly and humorously confronting the viewer with the question of which of the two cultural economies one wants to define ›freedom‹, ›the future‹, and not least ›access to technology‹.

Presented with DVD Footage of a swinging suspension bridge with a car on it is accompanied by a heavymetal guitar riff. Suddenly the driver is seen to switch off his car stereo, the music stops, as does the swinging of the bridge, and one hears birds singing. All is peace. The guy looks into the camera and with a silly grin on his face says, »Sorry.« The video is a smart piece of advertising, a precise illustration of the way irational rocks our mental and physical infrastructures with a delicate balance of danger and humour. The video was originally used by a corporation dealing with technology. (Jacob Lillemose)
