PRESENTATIE: Michelle Teran: Urban Screen Savers en stedelijke interventies
12.30 –13.25, 2e inbreiding, Blaak 10
Nieuwe technologieën als locatiegebonden media maken het mogelijk om de stad opnieuw vorm te geven. De stad transformeert in een hybride plek waarin fysieke en digitale ruimte samenkomen. Dit gegeven staat centraal in het werk van Michelle Teran (Canada). Haar performances en interventies verweven de stedelijke en mediale ruimte en richten zich op de (sociale, culturele) dynamiek die dit veroorzaakt. Een voorbeeld: de Black Leather Projection Purse, een handtas met een ingebouwde projector waarmee zij (live) video in de openbare ruimte projecteert. Michelle Teran ontving dit jaar de prestigieuze Transmediale Award (Berlijn) voor digitale media.

Open Data: Navigating the Data Terrain
We live in a data driven environment. The huge datasets that are becoming available offer us a glimpse of the underlying complexity that our society is built upon. How do we interpret this information? And what are the ways that designers and artists are creating new ways of play and discourse in this space.
Panelists: Chris Osborne, Ian Forrester, Toby Barnes, Michelle Teran and Brendan Dawes

For transmediale.10, I will present a new remix of Buscando al Sr. Goodbar as a two-channel video installation.
Buscando al Sr. Goodbar(2009) is a threefold tour through the Spanish town Murcia simultaneously taking place by bus as well as on Google Earth and YouTube.
Seated on a bus an audience debarks on a physical search for the locations and authors of various YouTube videos produced in the city. Whenever any such YouTube video discloses the geographical coordinates of where it was shot, the video becomes tagged onto Google Earth via a special software mapping system. The bus can be followed virtually on Google Earth while YouTube videos are screened on the bus itself. By entering the spaces where videos were produced, an intimate encounter occurrs between video makers and audience.
Art 2.0 at the Transmediale
26-Jan-10
Social networks in the so-called Web 2.0, traditional circles of friends, cultural and economic referential systems alike seem to always already generate a ‘creative material’ which artists use in different ways for their works. The panel ART 2.0 focuses on different strategies of artistic appropriation such as crowdsourcing, the direct invitation of a group of people to participate in an artwork, or the retroactive gathering and recycling of foreign contents and forms. The invited artists will present selected works which articulate new approaches towards authorship and intellectual property as well as towards the interaction between individuals and communities.
Date: Thu, 4.2.2010 – 16:30
Location: House of World Cultures
Moderator: Matthias Fritsch (de)
Participants: Michelle Teran (ca), Jens Wunderling (de), Jamie Wilkinson (us), Aaron Koblin & Daniel Massey (us)
