<nettime-ann> 1st ADA Media Art Online Exhibition launched: CODeDOC Remediated curated by Christiane PAUL |
. 1st ADA Media Art Online Exhibition launched: CODeDOC Remediated curated by Christiane PAUL www.digitalartarchive.at ADA is pleased to announce the launch of its first online exhibition, which lets users ‘re-experience’ two exhibitions on Net Art, and uses a diverse set of documentation media. On display are two outstanding exhibitions from the early 2000s – CODEDOC (Whitney Museum, 2002) and CODEDOC II (Ars Electronica, 2003), which explored the relationship between frontend and backend in Digital Art Works. Participating Artists are Ed BURTON, Mark NAPIER, Mary FLANAGAN, EpidemiC, Camille UTTERBACK, Scott SNIBBE, Joan LEANDRE, Martin WATTENBERG, Alexander R. GALLOWAY, Maciej WISNIEWSKI, Bradford PALEY, Golan LEVIN, et. al. In the curatorial process, we were faced with two challenges: 1. How to document and disseminate the variable and differing interfaces and stages of the art work? 2. How to deal with technical obsolescence? Since most digital artworks cannot be viewed by every user due to outdated software or browser settings, the aim was to document artworks in all of their complexity - allowing every user a comprehensive insight into them. We developed a 'Grid of Analysis', in which several documentation media –from keywords, technology, texts to videos- can be viewed simultaneously. This not only ensures documentation as encompassing as possible, but is meant to display the most important aesthetics and subjects of Digital Art such as interactivity, sequentiality and narration. Links to the original art works can be accessed, while media such as our video narratives document and showcase the artworks. You can enter the exhibition at the bottom of ADA’s front page. In the introduction slide, you will find a text collection available for download and information on technical requirements. Then you can browse through the art works slide by slide, search through the documentation and try out the links to the original art works from CODeDOC and CODeDOC II – remediated for your re-experience! SEND US YOUR CONCEPTS ADA is a Web 2.0 based online database for Media Art, which actively includes its community of hundreds of scholars and artists. We hope the online exhibition has sparked your interest and imagination – feel free to send us your own exhibition concepts and participate in the documentation of Digital Art! Sincerely The ADA Team (digitalart.editor@donau-uni.ac.at) ARTISTS and SCHOLARS are invited to become members of the online community and set up their ADA profile! To ensure a high academic standard, five published articles and/or exhibitions are required to become members of the ADA community. Apply for an account here: www.digitalartarchive.at/support/account-request.html SHARE YOUR RESEARCH WITH PEERS AND THE COMMUNITY Community members can upload publications and PDFs, announce upcoming events, post comments, document exhibitions, conferences and other relevant news. ADA: THOUSANDS OF ARTWORKS Since its foundation in 1999, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (former Database of Virtual Art) has grown to be the most important online archive for digital art. In cooperation with established media artists, researchers and institutions it has been documenting the rapidly evolving world of digital art and its related fields for more than a decade and contains today a selection of thousands of artworks at the intersection of art, science and technology. ARTISTS and SCHOLARS are invited to join the community and set up their own archive pages. EXPANDED DOCUMENTATION FOR THE NEEDS OF DIGITAL ART Due to the processual, ephemeral, interactive, technology-based and fundamentally context-dependent character of digital art, it is at risk for becoming extinct without an adequate documentation. Therefore, the ADA is based on an expanded concept of documentation, which takes account of the specific conditions of digital art. ARTISTS represented, among many others: Rebecca ALLEN, Suzanne ANKER, Cory ARCANGEL, Roy ASCOTT, Louis BEC, Maurice BENAYOUN, Paolo CIRIO, Charlotte DAVIES, FLEISCHMANN & STRAUSS, Masaki FUJIHATA, Ken GOLDBERG, Agnes HEGEDÜS, Lynn HERSHMAN LEESON, Ryoji IKEDA, Eduardo KAC, Ken RINALDO, KNOWBOTIC RESEARCH, Lev MANOVICH, George LEGRADY, Golan LEVIN, Rafael LOZANO-HEMMER, Joseph NECHVATAL, Michael NAIMARK, David ROKEBY, Jeffrey SHAW, Julius v.
