Mobile moviesx2
NoWhere NowHere
00’56’’ Loop, 2003
Performance: Rosario Ordonez
Nowhere is a work that emerges from the clash of its poetic substance and the mundane
medium selected for its capture – a recording of security footage off of a guards monitor.
Using well-selected model to perform a pre-staged occurrence this piece works to evolve
questions on the essence of the gaze and counter gaze in our world of random impersonal
beholding; through mechanical surveillance and such quotidian experiences as a subway
trip, or indeed an elevator ride.
You Turn Me
02’46 min Infinite loop, 2004
Dancer: Maggie Smalls, Cinematographer: Itay Gross, Sound: Anne Laplantine | Dicipline | 4
You Turn Me is an endless loop projection consisting of a dancing ballerina performing a FouEttes
(Turn) and accompanied with a musical score, in which the work becomes a to-scale music box.The ballerina never tires and her spinning never ceases. The viewer is privileged to observe a perpetual motion machine; the video presents a never-ending moment designed to elicit the same sense of curiosity and wonder that traditional music boxes bring when they come to life.
Nurit Bar-Shai is a New York-based artist. Bar-Shai´s main interest lies in exploring tensions between the mundane and the uncanny in everyday life. Emanating from her profound creative roots in fine arts, Bar-Shai employs video and new technologies to explore fundamental questions of presentation and representation, to reframe the familiar and turn audiences into foreigners in their own ontological domains.

OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

title: bat_echolocation. audio
I have been fascinated with sound-environments for the last 25 years, focusing on electroacoustic sound-paintings. These complex audio-situations are created mainly from site specific recordings, resulting in subjective reports for radio. My work oscillates between purely sound based and multidisciplinary projects.

As an alternative to the prevalence of digital work, I have been working with analogue and organic electrochemical materials. “Maverick Machines” is inspired by the work of the English Cybernetician Gordon Pask, who also coined the phrase.
8) Benjamin Gaulon,artist, France/Dublin
title: self portrait
Images taken from project: 2.4Ghz™ from surveillance to broadcast
The 2.4Ghz™ project uses a wireless video receiver to hack into wireless surveillance cameras. This device (which is now part of consumers popular products), can be use for wireless surveillance camera but it can also be used for parents to keep an eye on their pupils. Those systems are getting more and more popular as they are getting cheaper. But what most users of those devices don’t realise is that they are broadcasting the signal. This project (in progress) has several layers. Initially I have been walking around different town in Europe to collect and record footage received with the device, see below for the collected movies. The second part of the project (also in progress) consist of placing the device in the street to reveal the presence of the cameras and to make obvious the fact that anyone can receive those signals.
Benjamin Gaulon belongs to the young generation of artists in the field of technological and new media art,that, adhering to a DIY-ideology, loves to make physical pieces.

My way of working involves gathering materials, objects and ideas (including mathematical equations), creating something I may have to accept as overwhelming, cluttered and unresolved and then distilling from that a number of individual (effectively minimalist) works.

title: Madame I
mobile 3Dmovie.
Madame I was the subject of a neurological study in the early 20th century: a patient who had lost her ‘body awareness’, or proprioception. Her predicament, and her lucid, poignant description of it, resonates with the disembodied nature of our contemporary networked lives, of everyday mobile and digital technologies. This work transposes this condition onto a 3D animated character existing in a mobile phone – the Madame I of the title – who contemplates the nature of her disembodied predicament.

Cormac Browne is a visual artist, working and living in Dublin. He has a BA in Archaeology and Italian literature from UCD and is currently completing his final year of a BFA in Media from the NCAD. Cormac’s work is concerned with revealing transient truths and assumptions, highlighting the cracks that appear in rational thought and accepted practice. This includes the use of the comic: humour can draw an audience in, and at the same time allow for a separation from normative values, so that one views ones circumstances briefly from outside of a socially created framework.

DUBLIN 29
Mobile technology connects and disconnects, fragments frameworks and represents an amalgamated construction of society that can be consumed in instantaneous bites and parts, without the complexity derived from the vision of the artwork as a whole. Dublin 29 is a series of reductions in mobile snippets to be taken away…

‘Snapshots of a Momentary World’.
For these images I created an environment using random objects and models from Google Earth. I arranged these in a chaotic fashion to give the impression of a bustling city street or park. I then moved through this virtual space taking snapshots.
‘Estimated Self Portraits’
Again, using architectural software I composed a series of portaits by altering default models found on Google Earth. I then deleted the textured surfaces of these models leaving only the numbers and lines to indicate the coordinates of my facial features.
