Rhizome Presents: Seven on Seven

by Rhizome

Monday, February 8, 2010

Rhizome is pleased to announce Seven on Seven a new major initiative that reflects our mission to connect art and new technology. Seven on Seven will pair seven artists with seven technologists in teams of two, and challenge them to develop something new --be it an application, social media, artwork, product, or whatever they imagine-- over the course of a single day. The seven teams will present their ideas at a one-day event at the New Museum on April 17th. Recalling the groundbreaking 1966 event 9 Evenings, in which dancers, visual artists and musicians were paired with engineers and scientists, Seven on Seven is aimed at enriching all involved, and putting forth important, new projects that tie to Rhizome’s mission of openness and innovation in art. Documentation of the event will be made available online following the event.

Seven on Seven Participants include, on the technology side, Ayah Bdeir, Jeff Hammerbacher, David Karp, Andrew Kortina, Hilary Mason, Matt Mullenweg, and Josh Schachter, and on the art side, Tauba Auerbach, Cao Fei, Aaron Koblin, Monica Narula, Marc Andre Robinson, Evan Roth and Ryan Trecartin.

Full details and ticket purchase: http://www.rhizome.org/sevenonseven

Seven on Seven is a new program set to recur annually, and raise support for Rhizome. In its first year, Seven on Seven is made possible through the generous support and collaboration of Wieden + Kennedy / PIE. Additional lead support was provided by Betaworks and Mozilla. We would also like to thank our media partner, Mashable, and Kickstarter for donating space for the teams to work Thanks to FUTURE FRIENDS for Seven on Seven's logo design..

DEAR STALKERS…

by thelovemagazineblog

Monday, February 8, 2010

Hannah Holman shot by Angelo Pennetta wearing a fur bag by Kenzo.

Dear Stalkers,

You’ve not been that great at stalking of late. We’ve had no creepy phone calls, no nut-cases hanging around outside the office, and LOVE HQ has remained almost entirely bereft of weird packages and disturbing hand-written letters. But fear not! Valentines day is nearly upon us, which, as we all know means it’s your time to shine. As such, we’ve compiled a list of everything that the LOVE team and our favourite friends would like. Please send to the usual address.

Thanks,

Team LOVE.

Danko Steiner: Everything

Catherine Russel: A charcoal grey kitten

Alex Wang: A full day’s sleep (since its the day after my show!)

Sally Lyndley: Johnny Depp, and a hot-pink feathered Cherokee Headdress

Stephen Jones: A Bedlington terrier, a weekend in Brighton, and lovely hats for Giles

Victoria Beckham: A long lie in with David.. and a hair cut!

Anders Thomsen: Glee the stage show

Phoebe Arnold: A whippet, a prairie dog, the Chloe pre-collection (entire), a lifetimes supply of Montbriac, the whole Illamasqua nail varnish range, and a job lot of French Glamour from the late 80s.

Victoria Young: I would really love a fantastic look from Chloe pre-collection and a delicious cheese fondue with my terrific boyfriend, Boo George, King of the World.

Hanna Hanra: A whirlwind weekend trip to Mexico with my boyfriend, the actor Robert Pattinson.

Jane Bruton: That Mulberry Love necklace!!

Isaac Lock: The Temptation of St Anthony triptych and a pygmy elephant. Failing that I’d settle for some Heironymous Bosch monster figures, the Hermes bike, and an early morning drive to Horsey in Norfolk.

Harriet Quick: A long French kiss in the cultural vicinity of a notable and upright monument.

Camille Miceli: 3 knot rings from Cartier – 1 yellow, one white gold and one rose gold, a new Dior pearl necklace from the prefall, home fragrance diffuser called ‘fler mecanique’ from Frederic Malle, a pair of crochet boots from Ferragamo. Voila! Big Kissinger.

Justin Cooke: Katie Grand.

Pixie Geldof: I want it not to be Valentine’s.

Andrew Davis: I would really love this 1930s portable heater, in the auction at Bonhams in NY. My partner has finally put his foot down and said no pets (since the stick insect saga). So this heater is the next best thing.

Ben Reardon: Megalolz, rolfs and OMGs with someone who feels the same.

Fran Burns: Miu Miu cat print platforms and a box of Charbonnel Walker pink Champagne truffles.

David Hughes: Two front teeth…or is that Christmas…

Amanda Harlech: Ok. I want a key. You can tie a red ribbon on it if you want.

Charlotte Stockdale: I wanna wake up rocking gently on a boat in the middle of a sunny sea, alone with Marc, no phones, and a case of Dom P…

Tor Gooder: A Burmese kitten

Nick Grimshaw: Some Zovirax

Dree Hemingway: Sex with Kristen Stewart

Christina Lindsay: Some beautiful flowers and a card (you just have to), a black leather Roberts radio for my kitchen, a lovely dinner somewhere (but not actually on Valentine’s Day, as I can’t bear being constantly pestered by plastic rose sellers), for Google to take the ‘Content Warning’ off my blog Fashion’s Most Wanted, which stops people finding it. Since I’ve been working at LOVE there have been complaints about the amount of tits and nudity on there!

Paul Hanlon: I’d like a day off to be with my girlfriend. That would be nice.

Andrew Richardson: A good slap around the face…

Katie Hillier: Panthere de Cartier ring, in yellow gold, diamonds, emeralds, onyx! But I probably wont get it…

Sampling #1 (2009) – Eva Paulitsch and Uta Weyrich

by Ceci Moss

Monday, February 8, 2010

Image of Sampling #1 from flickr user 7pc

Since 2006, the two artists have been collecting films from mobile phones in the public sphere. It is the mixture of amateurish documentation of your own life, of a direct, unhampered view on your own reality, of unmotivated, unguided camera movements as the expression of boredom but also of directed little scenarios that aroused our collector's instincts. Paulitsch and Weyrich are accepting all films into their archive uncensored. This is increasingly developing into a fascinating document of our times, to a sort of evidence-gathering on and siting of the present. Above all, however, it resembles a bizarre album of weltering digital imagery.

For the exhibition YOU_ser 2.0 in the ZKM | Media Museum, the two artists make their mobile film archive accessible for visitors via mobile tagging. The mobile films are concealed behind the colourful QR codes, which visitors can decipher with their own WLAN-mobiles or with the mobiles provided by the museum. In this way, the content of the films Paulitsch and Weyrich are collecting on the street and publishing on the Net returns to the private sphere and into the medium where they originate. The video blog serves to show new extracts from this archive and offers a platform to films currently being collected.

Google Portrait Series (2007-2009) – Aram Bartholl

by Ceci Moss

Monday, February 8, 2010

Each code represents a visual enryption of a search on 'Aram Bartholl' in a specific language on Google.

A Google Portrait is a drawing which contains the Google URL search string of the portrayed person in encoded form. Any camera smart phone is capable to decode the matrix-code with the help of barcode reader like software. The result points the mobile phone browser to a search on the portrayed person's name at Google.

A large number of people can be found by name on Google today. Everyone who is working on a computer and uses the internet regularly can be found on Google. Even people who don't use computers can be found sometimes because their names appear in 'old' media (i.e. books) on the net.

'Egosurfing' is a popular way for a user to find out what websites and information Google returns on his/her name search.

How many hits does Google show on my name? Am I popular? Do I want to be found at all? Who writes about me? What do people find out about me when they google my name? Am I in concurrence to other persons with the same name? Do I rely on the results Google shows me on a person's name? In which way do I relate to someone which I only known by Google results?

You Are What You Buy (2007) – Michele Pred

by Ceci Moss

Michele Pred Explains You Are What You Buy

I chose to create an embroidered version of a barcode to represent how technology has become interwoven, fused with our lives and our identity- to represent how we have become one and the same with technology.

Through new technology cell phones are now capable of scanning and decoding barcodes. However, these barcodes are a little different than the ones you see scanned at the grocery store: they are called 2D barcodes and are composed of black and white squares that encode the URLs to any website of creator's choice. In other words, these Data Matrix format barcodes are a physical hyperlink. Through my research I have learned how to create and program 2D barcodes with embedded text messages. I have also discovered that these barcodes can be reproduced in a variety of materials and are still capable of being scanned/read with a mobile phone.

Ruin – Fiat Lux

by Joe

Monday, February 8, 2010

Ruin - Fiat Lux (Meta Meta Records) 1986. Probably the most ongoing request that I have seen over the years with Last Days is Fiat Lux by the Philly band Ruin. I wrote about them back in 2007. Few bands have inspired such rabid devotion amongst a fan-base as Ruin. Part of this is due to the fact that they were criminally overlooked. I mean, just a hundred miles over people were shitting themselves for a little Revolution Summer but Ruin who were doing the same damn thing at the same damn time, couldn’t get much love. They are not even on the Flex discography fer chrissakes (which by the way, looks super-good after the new makeover). Another reason why Ruin fans are super-fanatical is because Ruin were from Philly and Philly itself got no love. No local label like Dischord. No real national reputation despite its size and location and what was really annoying about this was that Philly had some amazing hardcore bands like YDI, FOD, McRad and Ruin. So you got this criminally under-rated band in this under-rated town. Finally, the third reason why Ruin fans are so rabid is because the band flat-out rocked. Their shows were transcendent experiences, they pushed the boundaries to the point where they were incorporating psychedelia, hard rock and raga while still maintaining the energy of the best hardcore punk. Fiat Lux was their masterpiece, the apex of what they were trying to do. Check it out in its entirety.

N Building (2009) – Teradadesign and Qosmo

by Ceci Moss

Monday, February 8, 2010

N Building from Alexander Reeder on Vimeo.

N Building is a commercial structure located near Tachikawa station amidst a shopping district. Being a commercial building signs or billboards are typically attached to its facade which we feel undermines the structures' identity. As a solution we thought to use a QR Code as the facade itself. By reading the QR Code with your mobile device you will be taken to a site which includes up to date shop information. In this manner we envision a cityscape unhindered by ubiquitous signage and also an improvement to the quality and accuracy of the information itself.
