– if you’re Chi-local, I’ll be showing some work @Carousel Space Project next week.

The remix and the multiple have become an interdisciplinary language. The hybrid process of combining fragments in a non-linear re-interpretation has found an essential voice in today’s visual practice. The remix allows for a major conceptual leap in making art on a meta-structural level. Artists draw together and make sense of a much larger body of information by threading a continuous narrative through it. The machine has allowed us the ability to re-conceptualize our relation to knowledge and to organize it, rather than merely accumulate information.

@the Nightingale Theatre [1084 N. Milwaukee Chicago, IL]

Chris Cuellar is a Los Angeles (previously Chicago) based new-media artist, writer and provocateur. His works occupy various media simultaneously including www, installation, social-media and printed texts. His pieces, occasionally brain-busting but often conceptually simple, deal with themes of digital identity, distribution of information, labor, spam, networks and telepresence in a way that never fails to incite a re-evaluation of these issues. He has worked and performed for the Austin New Music Co-op in Austin, TX; the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; the Hyde Park Art Center; the Red Rover Reading Series in Chicago; and Diapason Gallery in Brooklyn.

Chris Cuellar will be presenting on a series he recently organized for the Art21 blog where he transformed the guest column into “a practical art-making resource” as well as a “vehicle for the un-distribution of existing works.” He asked a small group of artists to give away their secrets in the form of online tutorials. “Each how-to is meant to give the reader enough information to accurately reproduce the project presented.” Furthermore, “in order to reduce issues of artistic ownership, each artist’s contribution has been more or less ‘anonymized’ before posting, with as many overt references to the the individual artist or original project removed as possible.” Cuellar asks why display a work when you can use a work? Why distribute copies when you can distribute a process? “Why buy a work, when you can just make it yourself?”

Andrew Rosinski over at DINCA recently started a series called t0p5, “a DINCuratorial series featuring guest participants that curate five embeddable internet videos. There are no guidelines for their selections, other than participants are encouraged to reflect upon their choices in however many words they deem necessary.”

For my DINCuratorial slot I put together the following:

• Over the summer I taught a video remix class at Marwen (here in Chicago) for middle school students. The class served as an introduction to video editing (non of these students had any kind of serious prior editing experience) as well as an introduction to remix based work, theory and politics. I was extremely surprised how in depth we were able to discuss critical theory (a subject usually reserved for college level students) and digital policy. By the end of the course every student was producing critical, technically proficient, and occasionally hilarious remix videos, and most could explain to you in serious detail their fair-use rights and how best to navigate intellectual property issues on the web. I was extremely proud of the work they produced in class, and while I think you should check out all their videos here, I’ve forced myself to choose only five for DINCA’s t0p5. I think these exemplify their various projects + perspectives fairly well. Enjoy ‘em (and keep in mind these videos where made by 11 – 13 year olds!)

Check out the videos/post here!

thnx for the invitation Andrew!

part of a “Creative Piracy Suite” of [art]ware I’m slowly working on, Sample Chest v1.0 is a stripped down version of an app/patch I made using Max/MSP (w/ a little python) for creating video sample libraries by ripping videos from today’s richest AV cultural repository, YouTube. It’s a variation on an app I made for my students, in a video remix course I taught this summer, which they would use to quickly download videos and build their own sample libraries for video remixing.

DOWNLOAD: [SampleChest v1.0] +++ [SourceCode.zip]

if you’re a Max/MSP person, you can also download the source-files and incorporate this patch into your own video-app projects. Make sure you read the README file for some important set-up instructions before appropriating the patch into your projects.

sadly, I only really have this working on Mac, but if you’re a PC Max person and can remix this patch into a PC version please send me a copy. Also, if any Pure Data people can appropriate some of this into a PD version that would be super rad! Please share that if it happens.

thnx to Mark Beasley, youtube-dl team, phihag and Bill Orcutt

If it hasn’t yet hit any of your lists and/or feeds, GLI.TC/H 20111 is happening! But we need your help!!1

█▄┘DO iT TO_GATHER!

GLI.TC/H was a simple idea that was hatched upon the notion of folks gathering together and engaging/chatting/debating the issues/theories/concerns of failure, systems, art, && glitches. We were able to realize this gathering last year in Chicago. GLI.TC/H 2010 brought people together for five days of glitchy art, hacking/coding workshops, discussions, screenings, lectures, and realtime audio/video performances. All events were free & open to the public and ended up exposing an extremely diverse, amazingly deep, somewhat quirky community. The community is growing and this year we are hoping (and planning) to do it again! From the beginning, we consciously adopted a free & open ethic forGLI.TC/H. We believe that exorbitant entrance fees and exclusive passes create obstacles between “actor” and “audience.” It takes considerable resources and energy execute an exciting event likeGLI.TC/H. We’re reaching out to you (and your networks) in an effort to help amplify these efforts and make GLI.TC/H 20111 a reality. Some generous artists have donated exciting incentives to this Kickstarter campaign. Please check them out; of course, the biggest incentive of this campaign is actually making GLI.TC/H 20111 happen.

▀─█┐GLI.TC/H IS GROWING LIKE A VIRUS

GLI.TC/H is spreading from the web to Chicago: US; to Amsterdam: NL; and Birmingham: UK; GLI.TC/H will launch in Chicago on NOV: 4TH, 5TH, & 6TH. Amsterdam will commence on NOV: 11 & 12. Birmingham: UK; will follow onNOV: 19. GLI.TC/H is both a physical and virtual event with always-on online games, galleries, easter-eggs, downloadable artware, scavenger hunts, APIs, and loads of other experimental components. These activities will continue through-out and beyond the physical events. We hope that branching and forking the gathering/festival/conference will mesh && mosh conversation(s) with local happenings, multiple perspectives, and allow for more individuals to participate. This year, we are opening frameworks and structures to involve the community at core levels including curation and organization. For example, Kim Asendorf (fa-g.org & gifmarket.net) is curating an online component and Antonio Roberts (AKA hellocatfood) initiated and is leading the Birminham: UK; component. Many more artists and curators are investing their talents. We can’t do this alone. Let’s make this gathering happen together! Executing GLI.TC/H takes considerable resources. Your donation will be use for the acquisition, construction, and transportation of materials and artwork for the exhibitions. It will allow us to support the local independent venues that we have partnered with. It will help supply materials for workshops and provide resources for the printing and pressing of festival data for dissemination at and before the events. ─▄┘THNX! We will continue to update this Kickstarter page with details/announcements/activities. Please help by donating and spreading the word by liking/sharing/linking/tweeting/posting EVERYWHERE! ─▄┘─ █┐█▄┘─▀┐─▄┘─█┐█ … ▄┘. >word.doc error< EOF?=gli.tc/h/bots ♥

my 4th and final post for art21: A Good Engineer [interview w/Todd Bailey]

• Within the underground, DIY and circuit bending communities of Chicago, NYC and elsewhere Todd Bailey is the name associated with the 8bit sampler/kit WTPA (Where’s The Party At) and other unique home-brew electronics. For the last decade, Bailey’s activities have also found their way onto the shelves of toy stores like Target and the walls of museums like the Whitney.

My third post for the Art21 blog is up: Pop Culture Pirate [interview w/ Elisa Kreisinger]

• Elisa Kreisinger is a video remix artist, writer, curator and educator whose work often addresses feminist, queer, and social issues. While there is a long history of appropriation based political critique in the arts, and though many of these works long to invoke social change, they are often prevented from doing so, locked up and stowed away in the closed stacks of proprietary institutions while occasionally finding their way to a gallery wall or micro cinema screen to preach to the choir.
• Unlike these works, Kreisinger’s practice involves inhabiting pop cultural spaces such as youtube and other online communities, offering radical social critique to a mass audience. Her concerns are realized in myriad ways, through writings, workshops, and online tutorials and curation.

My second post for the Art21 blog is up: Work Smarter, Not Harder [ interview w/ Evan Roth ]

• Evan Roth is a prolific producer whose activities take on many different forms, including teaching, collaborating, engineering, collecting gifs, analyzing graffiti, enriching the public domain, developing tools of empowerment and raising awareness of issues pertaining to the open-web and free speech. His work is most comfortable where the interests of activists, artists, and general web meanderers intersect.

I’m guest blogging for the Art21 blog this week and recently published my first post: A Better Ghost [Interview w/ Evan Meaney]. I’ll be posting a few more interviews like this one on their blog throughout the week.

—

• Evan Meaney is an artist, curator and educator currently teaching time-based media design at the University of Tennessee. His practice dives into the “liminalities and glitches of all sorts, equating failing data to ghosts, seances and archival hauntology.”At the moment Meaney is hard at work experimenting with the super computing team at Oak Ridge National Laboratories as well as preparing for this years GLI.TC/H noise and new-media gathering. He is also just about to release his Ceibas Cycle DVD, a series Meaney has been working on for the last five years.
