. MEDIA+SPACE New Media Gallery :: Yonsei University :: Seoul, Korea :: Alan Sondheim :: Avatar of Excess An exhibition of video work and texts. Exhibition: Wed June 11 Fri June 20th Artist will be present via Second Life at the opening Wed. June 11th 1pm condensed S Korea online SL performance text with Sandy Baldwin and Baruch Gottlieb Alan Sondheim is a unique figure in contemporary cyber culture. A hyper-prolific artist, poet, and critic, Sondheim produces dozens of new works every week and publishes these in a variety of venues from conferences to galleries to Second Life to the numerous mailing lists he inhabits. His online persona and his work are utterly symbiotic; his language straddles the edge of coherence between the machine language of code and the global lingua franca. English is unique in that it is used by 100% of the computers of the world as well as by a significant section of human society. Sometimes it is hard to tell if Sondheim's work is created by a human or by an automaton. Alan Sondheim's use of language in his oeuvre exemplifies the infrastructural actuality of English today. Often repetitive, railing away on a tangent, riddled with codes and surging with automatic energies, Sondheim evokes the perverse vitality of the proto-cyborg consciousness of our age and it's obscene hyperproduction. Human forms appear as avatars in Sondheim's videos only to be corrupted, smashed and smeared by irrepressible surges of information, rendering palpable the fragility of human meaning in the age of self-perpetuating automatic processes, the masochistic ecstasies of the human body at the mercy of it's machines. - Baruch Gottlieb http://gallery.yonsei.ac.kr/ [20:00] Wirxli Flimflam is Online Man Michinaga Gesture New missing from database. /clap Connecting to in-world Voice Chat...
