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.
14:00 – 16:00

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…

I’ll present my upcoming project „1H“ during the monthly „World of Warcraft – special“ TV show at Giga Games tonight at 8 p.m. (cet) . For this reason I had a shooting today. Me walking a scale 1:1 WoW-„Ripsaw“ in downtown Cologne. It was fun.
More details live …
Tune in at 8 pm on Giga live stream

[Unfortunately I’ll miss Corys „Upload“ book presentation at exactly the same time here in Cologne]
The russian Gmail office claims to create „Gmail art“.
Is this a new category? 😉

I found a simple way to deal with the cheap PC-case which came with the new hardware. I like case modding. 😉
(Yes, I still need a floppy drive.)
A while ago ISEA 2008 accepted my paper for a presentation. The international Symposium on Electronic Art initiated in 1988 will take place this year in Singapore 25.7.-30.7.08. Thank ifa who is funding my travel expenses I am able to confirm my invitation and will participate in the conference this summer.
I went to Kunst-Werke Berlin lately to see the exhibition „…5 minutes later“. My favorite piece was the installation by Thomas Rentmeister.
Later I found this piece on his website. Coffie with milk is the most important accessoire in Berlin Mitte. German „latte“ is a wooden rod. 😉

And by the way. Yes, I do know Angela Bullochs‘ piece „Z-point“. People keep asking me that.
(Although i didn’t know it when I created TV-Filter in 2006, anyway…)
Franko Dodonpa made an effort and built an 5×8 pixel iPod Touch filter. Very nice!
I am not very good in tracking birthdays of friends, there always manybirthdays in spring. Addtionally skype notifies you when one of your contacts has birthday. Very handy but is it correct? Do I want that? Did I ask skype to tell everybody it s my birthday? Hmm … do I have to respond to a note because I know that he knows that I know …
I decided run an experiment. Since 5 days it s my birthday every day on skype. I got some messages, comments, emails and even phone calls. Some people were doubting, some noticed on the 3rd day. It was fun.
„Skype is a snitch.“ Marius posted in a comment, very true.
(Btw, my birthday is on 27.12.)
I finally managed to put together a documentation about Second City Ars Electronica 2007. The festival invited me to make a design for Marienstrasse, to show my work and to involve other artists in collaboration for the Second City all relating to metavers and Second Life.
Pics info and more on the project page.
I had a great team! Thx to everybody!
I like this a lot! „Not so green“ collects plain aerial pictures from flickr users and other services and then matches the exact location and view angle on the virtual globe Google Earth. A typical AramBarthol-real/virtual-style comparison. 😉
