<nettime-ann> [ann] BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR - preview |
UBERMORGEN.COM: "just pixels on a screen - just ink on paper" BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR by UBERMORGEN.COM The BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR is an online engine that generates abstract and very individual bank statements. The core theme of the project is described in the slogan "just pixels on a screen - just ink on paper" and consolidated in the term "authenticity as consensual hallucination" (Inke Arns). The focus shifts from the authenticity in the time of analogue / technical reproduction (signature) towards authenticity in the time of informational reprogramability (automatically generated bank-statements). In the UBERMORGEN.COM universe, this project can be seen in the tradition of "Legal Art" and specifically the "[F]originals - forged original documents - series. A Foriginal is always original and unique. Foriginals are pixels on screens or substance on material [i.e. ink on paper]. [F]originals are non pragmatic - they are absurd. They do not tell you whether they are real or forged - there is no original but also no fully forged document. Foriginals can be human or machine generated; Foriginals are digital or analog: Foriginals are singular multiples. http://www.ipnic.org/BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR Exhibitions White cube ATM Installation 150x150x200cm, net.art, 2005 upcoming: Ars Electronica Linz / Austria Exhibition "Hybrid - living in paradox" September 1st to 6th, 2005 past: [plug.in] Basel / Switzerland Exhibition "[F]original - Authenticity as consensual hallucination" [F]original, BANKSTATEMENTGENERATORR & UBERMORGEN.COM are supported by the City of Vienna [MA7], .KUNST, Pro Helvetia, Austrian Embassy in Tokyo, Austrian Embassy in Serbia-Montenegro, [plug.in], hartware Medien Kunst Verein, Artnode, Overgaden, BAK - Bundesamt fuer Kultur Switzerland & Pure Lustre Inc.
