Marcel Duchamp:

a work is made entirely by those who
look at it or read it and who make it
survive by their accolades or even their
condemnation.

Mayoux (published in his book La Liberté une
et divisible: Textes critiques et politiques, Ussel,
1979).

Artist as Writer                                       Today, artists can generate platforms such as
                     Artist as Facilitator
                                                       mailing lists, and websites. They can
                                                       independently organize exhibitions to
                                                       circulate their ideas and set up platforms
                                                       from which they can interact with an

Art on Platforms
From Art on Networks to Art on Platforms
by Olga Goriunova, Alexei Shulgin



What is a platform?

[S]omething in between a content management system, online web site, library, and a club ... A
platform is a website organized in a special way: as a relatively simple database with artefacts,
or a more complex portal built around the database.



  -Runme.org
  -Udaff.com (self-identified counter-cultural writing)
  -Micromusic.net




                      The 1990s were dominated by art on networks and celebration of communication via internet,
                      2000-s are marked by the development of platform-based art trends and cultural currents.

Art on platforms


•fostering creativity, detecting, discovering, defining,
shaping the field, contributing to its development,
contributing to the materialization of a particular
artistic trend

•offline meetings in bars or at cultural events
(micromusic: “microeventz”)

•often no grants as quick responses to artistic trends
are needed and grants cycles are     slow. Usually
platforms are driven by enthusiasts who work for
free.

•udaff.com changed language and created a new
literature genre (literature for men)

Runme.org is a software art repository, launched in January 2003. It is an open, moderated database to

which people are welcome to submit projects they consider to be interesting examples of software art.

Software art is an intersection of two almost non-overlapping realms: software and art.

       Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited is a live performance series, which utilizes Web code as
choreography. In this performance - #4 - I am taking on the quot;characterquot; of the Website quot;www.youtube.com - with its
 logo and color scheme - and perform its html code, which is fed in from the Web quot;on the flyquot;. During each of the
 performances the source code of the website is immediately translated into an ongoing scrolling of images, which
 each representing an html tag. Every image shows a movement sequence. Images derive from the html-movement-
  library, an online database of user-submitted movement suggestions. The audience on location is also invited to
 participate in the html dance. The series is presented in a multiple-media approach of live performance, real-time
                                          web-feed, and installation set-up.

Art as Service
Cultural Context Providers

Currently, there is much advocacy for cultural practices that demand a particular involvement on
the part of the audience, creating situations in which art projects are co-produced.

People interact with networked computer systems and artifacts evolve out of experimental
relationships between several people.

based on familiar rules for institutional inclusion or exclusion. On which aesthetic
criteria should institutions base their decisions in the face of constantly changing
forms of new media art works?



The media art curator is not exclusively the ‘middle person’ between artists

and museums or galleries anymore. Curators do not merely organize

exhibitions and edit, filter and arrange museum collections. Now, her practice

includes facilitating events, screenings, temporary discursive situations,

writing/publishing, symposia, conferences, talks, research, the creation of

open archives, and mailing lists. Curators become meta-artists. They set up

contexts for artists who provide contexts. The model of the curated website

has become a useful recognition mechanism. In media art many cultural

context providers function in various registers including that of the curator.

Delocator.net is an online database project that creates a comparison between the amounts of local independently owned cafes
 and Starbucks retail stores within a specific zip code. By comparison of numeric quantity and site-specific detail, the user will see
   evidence of unchecked aggression and power that corporate businesses have in our communities. The site is also a free online
   space for independent cafe goers and owners to promote their cafes by uploading local cafe information to the Delocator.net
 database. The creation of other delocated database-driven web sites is encouraged. On the Delocator web site, users are able to
  download the code necessary to establish a new database, prompting more sites and databases that may focus on other specific
retail stores. Delocator.net was launched with the intention of becoming a web-meme, sprouting many future de-located corporate
            stores. This project is a collaboration between the collective Finishing School and programmer Vasna Sdoeung.

The Mechanical Olympics is a YouTube video competition of Olympic performances made by the elastic workforce on Amazon.com’s
 Mechanical Turk website. Every viewer gets a chance to vote on the gold medalists. Winners receive a bonus payment. Three videos
      were commissioned for each event and event polls change daily on this interactive alternative to the Olympic Games.

The rules are simple: workers have to wear the Mechanical Olympic signage, perform for the country and event described in the HIT
 (Human Intelligence Task) they accept, and create a 30 - 60 second video of their performance. Any abstraction on the idea of the
                event is encouraged. They post the URL to their video, and in return, they are paid from $1 - $3 usd.

 This project aims to offer the human intelligence task (HIT) workers a creative and physical alternative to their typical HITs. The
   videos posted on the blog create an Olympic event for the masses, where every viewer has the opportunity to vote on the
medalists. Participants and viewers are reminded that the amateur can often be just as engaging and entertaining as the professional.

Each day for a year, starting on September 1, 2007, Superfund365 visited one toxic site in the Superfund program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
                     (EPA). We began the journey in the New York City area and worked our way across the country, ending the year in Hawaii.
  Today the archive consists of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S., roughly a quarter of the total number on the Superfund's National
                            Priorities List (NPL). Along the way, we wrote an email update with highlights and conducted video interviews.

The Black & Decker Crossfire Auto Level Laser, to Giorgio Agamben's book State of Emergency.

These are the reviews of Kevin Killian who is a San Francisco-based poet, novelist, critic, and playwright. His texts are

                               14K ruby necklace

  quot;As an American boy growing up in France, I became mesmerized by an enchanting painting of an ancestor
that hung never very far from the hearth. The painting, smudged by smoke and damaged by Vichy occupation
of the chateau, showed a very thin and angular woman, her face like something reflected in the bowl of a
spoon, festooned in bright stones that gleamed out still bright after the passage of many decades. quot;Who is this
woman,quot; I used to wonder out loud, until one evening, as my grandmother passed through the room looking for
our vanished cat, quot;Gateau,quot; I noticed that she wore the same diamond and ruby necklace as the ancestor in the
old damaged painting.

I persuaded my grandmother to sit down and forget about her eternal hunt for a cat who had died long before
I was born, when she was still a young woman not even married to my grandpapa yet, and to tell me about the
necklace she wore. She took my little hands in hers and, in a low, breathy whisper, told me how she had
stumbled across these precious stones in a valise once. Amazon's 14K Ruby and Diamond quot;Dynastyquot; necklace
looks like a lot like my family jewels; the resemblance is shocking enough to have made me drop my cocoa
while leafing through the jewel pages this morning in an attempt to bring back, madeleine-style, the vanished
days of yesteryear.quot;

  • 12. From Art on Networks to Art on Platforms by Olga Goriunova, Alexei Shulgin What is a platform? [S]omething in between a content management system, online web site, library, and a club ... A platform is a website organized in a special way: as a relatively simple database with artefacts, or a more complex portal built around the database. -Runme.org -Udaff.com (self-identified counter-cultural writing) -Micromusic.net The 1990s were dominated by art on networks and celebration of communication via internet, 2000-s are marked by the development of platform-based art trends and cultural currents. -“From Art on Networks to Art on Platforms” by Olga Goriunova, Alexei Shulgin
  • 13. Art on platforms •fostering creativity, detecting, discovering, defining, shaping the field, contributing to its development, contributing to the materialization of a particular artistic trend •offline meetings in bars or at cultural events (micromusic: “microeventz”) •often no grants as quick responses to artistic trends are needed and grants cycles are slow. Usually platforms are driven by enthusiasts who work for free. •udaff.com changed language and created a new literature genre (literature for men) The 1990s were dominated by art on networks and celebration of communication via internet, 2000-s are marked by the development of platform-based art trends and cultural currents. -“From Art on Networks to Art on Platforms” by Olga Goriunova, Alexei Shulgin

In this performance - #4 - I am taking on the quot;characterquot; of the Website quot;www.youtube.com - with its logo and color scheme - and perform its html code, which is fed in from the Web quot;on the flyquot;. During each of the performances the source code of the website is immediately translated into an ongoing scrolling of images, which each representing an html tag. Every image shows a movement sequence. Images derive from the html-movement- library, an online database of user-submitted movement suggestions. The audience on location is also invited to participate in the html dance. The series is presented in a multiple-media approach of live performance, real-time web-feed, and installation set-up. http://www.ursenal.net/wi_ttmv/index4.html http://www.ursenal.net/wi_ttmv/movie_5.html
  • 40. Cultural Context Providers Currently, there is much advocacy for cultural practices that demand a particular involvement on the part of the audience, creating situations in which art projects are co-produced. People interact with networked computer systems and artifacts evolve out of experimental relationships between several people.

  • 43. ca se stu Less enlightened museums curators frame new media art in modernist terms that are dy based on familiar rules for institutional inclusion or exclusion. On which aesthetic criteria should institutions base their decisions in the face of constantly changing forms of new media art works? The media art curator is not exclusively the ‘middle person’ between artists and museums or galleries anymore. Curators do not merely organize exhibitions and edit, filter and arrange museum collections. Now, her practice includes facilitating events, screenings, temporary discursive situations, writing/publishing, symposia, conferences, talks, research, the creation of open archives, and mailing lists. Curators become meta-artists. They set up contexts for artists who provide contexts. The model of the curated website has become a useful recognition mechanism. In media art many cultural context providers function in various registers including that of the curator. Are the contributors exploited?

  • 48. Delocator.net is an online database project that creates a comparison between the amounts of local independently owned cafes and Starbucks retail stores within a specific zip code. By comparison of numeric quantity and site-specific detail, the user will see evidence of unchecked aggression and power that corporate businesses have in our communities. The site is also a free online space for independent cafe goers and owners to promote their cafes by uploading local cafe information to the Delocator.net database. The creation of other delocated database-driven web sites is encouraged. On the Delocator web site, users are able to download the code necessary to establish a new database, prompting more sites and databases that may focus on other specific retail stores. Delocator.net was launched with the intention of becoming a web-meme, sprouting many future de-located corporate stores. This project is a collaboration between the collective Finishing School and programmer Vasna Sdoeung. http://www.rhizome.org/object.php?o=33376&m=1017283

Three videos were commissioned for each event and event polls change daily on this interactive alternative to the Olympic Games. The rules are simple: workers have to wear the Mechanical Olympic signage, perform for the country and event described in the HIT (Human Intelligence Task) they accept, and create a 30 - 60 second video of their performance. Any abstraction on the idea of the event is encouraged. They post the URL to their video, and in return, they are paid from $1 - $3 usd. This project aims to offer the human intelligence task (HIT) workers a creative and physical alternative to their typical HITs. The videos posted on the blog create an Olympic event for the masses, where every viewer has the opportunity to vote on the medalists. Participants and viewers are reminded that the amateur can often be just as engaging and entertaining as the professional.

We began the journey in the New York City area and worked our way across the country, ending the year in Hawaii. Today the archive consists of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S., roughly a quarter of the total number on the Superfund's National Priorities List (NPL). Along the way, we wrote an email update with highlights and conducted video interviews.

  • 74. Killian's review of a 14K ruby necklace quot;As an American boy growing up in France, I became mesmerized by an enchanting painting of an ancestor that hung never very far from the hearth. The painting, smudged by smoke and damaged by Vichy occupation of the chateau, showed a very thin and angular woman, her face like something reflected in the bowl of a spoon, festooned in bright stones that gleamed out still bright after the passage of many decades. quot;Who is this woman,quot; I used to wonder out loud, until one evening, as my grandmother passed through the room looking for our vanished cat, quot;Gateau,quot; I noticed that she wore the same diamond and ruby necklace as the ancestor in the old damaged painting. I persuaded my grandmother to sit down and forget about her eternal hunt for a cat who had died long before I was born, when she was still a young woman not even married to my grandpapa yet, and to tell me about the necklace she wore. She took my little hands in hers and, in a low, breathy whisper, told me how she had stumbled across these precious stones in a valise once. Amazon's 14K Ruby and Diamond quot;Dynastyquot; necklace looks like a lot like my family jewels; the resemblance is shocking enough to have made me drop my cocoa while leafing through the jewel pages this morning in an attempt to bring back, madeleine-style, the vanished days of yesteryear.quot;
