Die Ausstellung Decoding the Black Box bringt Künstlerinnen und Künstler zusammen, die Licht in diesen dunklen Raum und die Prozesse werfen, die sich in ihm ereignen. Sie legen dabei nicht nur die Funktionsweisen digitaler Technologien wie beispielsweise von künstlicher Intelligenz offen, sondern visualisieren zugleich die Auswirkungen, die sie auf unsere Wahrnehmung von Realität und unser In-der-Welt-Sein haben. Während sie die ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Strukturen der digitalen Technologien und insbesondere des Internets transparent machen, zeigen sie Gegenentwürfe für eine dezentralisierte, humanere und demokratischere Nutzung ebendieser auf.

Speed Show lands in Greece, the country of souvlaki, the sun (yes we can claim that they originated a celestial body), ouzo, feta, an enormous financial debt. Currently, Greece is also trending for all the wrong reasons namely, gentrification, queerphobia, state crimes and more dystopic incidents.
As 2024 unfolds, we find ourselves amidst a whirlwind of confusion, bombarded with a cacophony of online horrors to consume, an attention span further abbreviated by TikTok’s algorithm and the barrage of incoming stitches.
Stitches Incoming serve as a conduit for creators to engage and converse, traversing from one topic to the next. They have evolved into a new social fabric, weaving connections within an ever-shifting digital and physical landscape while also serving as a testament to personal and collective traumas, both past and present.
What unites the participating digital artists? Perhaps everything and nothing simultaneously… Departing from the traditional Speed Show setup, where artworks are carefully stacked inside internet cafe computers, and drawing inspiration from the structure of TikTok stitches, each piece seems to propel the conversation forward, or perhaps uses the next as a springboard for its own narrative.
Stitch this and stitch that, we have everything you ever wanted (maybe) ! Are we stuck in an infinite loop of sh*tposting, valuable content, the highlight of social issues, personal and interpersonal experiences?
Maybe! Come and find out…

Finally I have a documentation for the tattoos online. Initially they served as flyers for the Friends project but since they are more than just a flyer I decided to document them on the “Are you social?” project page.
On top of that I published my first Instructable manual. Where to get and how to apply? It’s all here.
Have fun with them. I still have plenty. 😉
Thx to Veronika Becker for helping me out with the design.
Netherlands Media Art Institute formerly known as Montevideo in Amsterdam will show the “Are you social?” T-shirt in the upcoming exhibition “My [public] space”.
My [public] space
:: May 24 - June 21, 2008
:: Opening May 23, 5:00 p.m.
:: Netherlands Media Art Institute, Keizersgracht 264, 1016 EV Amsterdam
with Aram Bartholl, Hasan Elahi, Martijn Engelbregt, Kota Ezawa, Dora García, Susan Härtig, Jill Magid, Eva and Franco Mattes a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG, Eduardo Navas, Guy Ben-Ner, Marisa Olson.
The exhibition ‘My [public] space’ is a follow-up to the exhibition ‘Territorial Phantom’. In the previous exhibition the occupation of and claims to space by corporations, organizations or countries was central. My [public] space goes more deeply into the blurring of private and public information and spaces.
The copious use of digital, network and mobile technologies has had an enormous influence on our concept of public and private space, and calls up new questions about the conditions for these environments. Public space is not longer something that we can leave or exclude. Through wireless technologies chat, mail, GSM the public is everywhere: in our homes, our beds and even our bodies. What is private any more? What consequences does this muddying of the public and exposure to the public gaze have? Public space has become a hybrid: an entanglement of the public and private spheres…

The “Are you social?“-T-shirt is a co-production of Kosmar and myself. This piece has been shown for the first time at 2nd City Ars Electronica 07. More pictures and the complete project description can be found here.
I met Kosmar the first time at the plazes party in May2007 where I was performing the “Speech Bubble” project. Since then I kept following him on all kinds of social web platforms, especially twitter. I really learned a lot about social software and it is very interesting to keep up with this still vastly growing development on the web. Kosmar designed hundreds of social web micro buttons which everybody may use on his blog. I had the idea to design a T-shirt with these icons.
