papalCorruption v1.0 beta

minimalspace — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 07:10:45 +0000

papalCorruption v1.0 is a recent experiment for a larger body of new video based works exploring the glitch and corrupt data in media culture. The original clip was a short Italian television story about Pope Benedict XVI. I downloaded the video from the Vatican website and then corrupted it on a data level.

MUSICfor.one [byTEN] documentation

MUSICfor.one [byTEN] was a live “concert” improvisation created for the Chatroulette social network. Audio in the performance was generated from screen grabs taken of the first 10 people that appeared during a previous visit to the website. These pictures in turn became the graphic notation that loosely scores the work. Through this process I become the conductor while the anonymous Chatroulette users become the unaware orchestra. Below is documentation of the performance in two parts from the March 20th performance. The first movement resulted in a composition that was more “symphonic” than I had expected while the second movement was more textural.

In the virtual “wild west” of Chatroulette, there are few if any governing rules. Knowing this it still came as a surprise that I was “flagged and banned” from interacting for 10 minutes during Movement 2. Apparently, someone deemed what I was doing “inappropriate” behavior.

New net.art work launched:

“pwn-yrself.com offers visitors a real hacked index.html page acquired from a previously compromised web server. The visitor downloads the .zip file and using a text editor, simply types their name into the “INSERT YR NAME HERE” sections of the HTML and saves. Blog or website owners can replace their current home page with their new personalized hacked page…”

This work addresses issues of security, privacy, ownership, fear, and reclaiming our personal space on the net.work.
