Mircea Cantor


(pho by jaś)

Doube Heads Matches. 2002-2003

from the beginning, paris-based romanian artist mircea cantor has been interested in border zones between art and lfe, economy and society politics and nation, and the various modes of expression (blablabla). for this reason, while some of his works elaborate on a phenomenom tied to a specific place and time, other only allude to his questions of inters, often using an association of ideas.

Minus roof
akassen.com/minus%20roof.html

"Part of the roof is temporarily removed from the exhibitionspace for the production of two video sequences. One video sequence filmed from the exhibitionroom up into the sky and the other video sequence filmed from the aircraft down on the building. While the roof is off visitors are invited to board flights from the local airfield and view the exhibitionroom from above."

Path

"I spent several months living at a residence in Innsbruck at the root of the mountain there. One day, using my small camera and a stand, I started to film short videos wherein I documented how I was ascending the mountain. It was possible to shoot only 4-minute videos at once. Here, the idea for the structure of the work was born. –Every new day I would come back where I left yesterday and continue to document my gradual way upwards. This went on as I ascended the ever-steeper mountain path. I also became painfully aware of my personal limits when compared to the grandeur of the mountain.

After more than a month of regular rising, in defiance of myself and in spite of the mountain, this path was the vehicle whereby I reached the top of the mountain. From the top of the mountain the sight of the valley bellow greets one. Rather typical landscape at that, seen on the postcards so very often. However, after a month this particular sight had acquired a new, very personal meaning to me.

Surprisingly, it turned out that it is possibly to reach this mountaintop with a lift, just in ten minutes."

"Tree exchange, between the The Netherlands and Bialowieza Primeval Forest in Poland"

marjolijndijkman.com

"'All alone among the stars' is an exchange project between two young oak trees of similar size and age, one from 13HA and one from Bialowieza National Park at the border with Belarus. Besides questioning the authenticity of the two forests it tried to illuminate the complex and impossible relationship between them. In contrast to the Netherlands where all nature is constructed, Bialowieza Primeval Park is a natural primeval forest, the largest in Europe."

"The video work "Mobile" is about an individual who like to watch and show porn movies to others. This individual, on the margins of society and who doesn't perceive or understand the current forms of artistic expression, is played by myself.
During visits to exhibitions I tried to convince exhibition visitors that watching porn is much more interesting than wasting time looking at a boring and inexpressive exhibition."

***riot



“riot”, 1999: For the last two months, an anonymous group of young artists have been manipulating company logos on skyscrapers around Frankfurt. First the DG Bank sign was transformed into the legendary Pacman Icon. With the simple addition of a black spot. Next the illuminated type on top of the Marriott Hotel was reduced to a more profane “riot”.”

The software analyzes your face while you are working and if it detects a smile it sends the the ascii smiley face letters “: )” as keyboard presses to the front most application. Auto Smiley has many uses from just straight up convenience to enforcing honesty in your online communication :)

Helium Poubelle, 2008

Brad Downey

"Walking around Paris and placing helium balloons in the public garbage bins. The Parisians are afraid of terrorists just like every other Western city. So, they have replaced their traditional trash cans with these fancy new green ones. These are cool because all the garbage is exposed. The best part of this project was watching the kids take the balloons."

"Runners from around the city formed a pack and took a jog down Sampsonia Way to create the impression of a marathon. "

scene "Street View Marathon" from "Street With A View" project
by Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley


"Street With A View introduces fiction, both subtle and spectacular, into the doppelganger world of Google Street View.

On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged scenes ranging from a parade and a marathon, to a garage band practice, a seventeenth century sword fight, a heroic rescue and much more...

HTML Color Codes - Noah Venezia / Michael Demers

HTML Color Codes
Curated by Carolyn Kane for Rhizome September, 2009


The Rainbow Website
by Noah Venezia


Color Field Painting ("Where," after Morris Louis)
by Michael Demers

"The HTML Color Codes exhibition features a selection of internet based artwork that address the topic of digital color. The central question that the exhibition poses is whether or not artists working with the internet are in fact limited to a “ready-made” color palette, a premise that many artists working with film, photography, and mass produced, standardized paint sets have assumed. The rationale for this question stems from theories of perception that argue that color is a not ready-made object found in a paint set or machine, but rather it is an experience that results from a complex process of light interacting with the retina and human nervous system."
