217.174.192.66 A presentation by Grégoire Maisonneuve Sunday, February 24, 7pm (19h) at THE THING, 601 West 26th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001 artists net projects - starting with patrick bernier, ludovic burel, dr-brady, claude closky, rainer ganahl, jan kopp, gianni motti, téléférique 217.174.192.66 is a private initiative - a desire - which, from its production to its promotion, intends to be accompanied by artistic projects specifically developed for the Internet. 217.174.192.66 is a platform for artistic proposals. Willed by its commissioner, Grégoire Maisonneuve, to be a work of art in itself, the interface of 217.174.192.66 is the fruit of a collaboration with the artist Patrick Bernier and the computer programmer Jean-Noël Lafargue. Minimal graphics, access without preliminary navigation, no links or intermediate pages, neither menu nor alphabetical list. Just art. The particularity of 217.174.192.66 is shared time. At any given hour, one project and one project only can be consulted. In order to discover other projects, one must take the time to come back. This restriction is incentive for lingering over one project instead of skimming over many. The manner in which the projects appear on the screen is pre-programmed. Movement is perpetual. At present, the looped program containing this first visible body of work must be able to thrive. 217.174.192.66 is an invitation to support artistic production on the Net and to support the presence of artists in this domain which is becoming more and more real. The projects produced by Patrick Bernier, Ludovic Burel and Téléférique were produced by and for 217.174.192.66. Those by Claude Closky, the Collection Yoon Ja & Paul Devautour, Rainer Ganahl, Jan Kopp and Gianni Motti were a sign of encouragement for artists and for the initiative of 217.174.192.66. http://217.174.192.66 ------------------------------------------------------- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste fuer Medien- und Netzkultur Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost Info: http://www.mikro.org/rohrpost Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.openoffice.de
