reCAPCHAT. Jimpunk at Domain Gallery
Dates:
Sat May 12, 2012 20:30 - Tue Jun 12, 2012
Domain Gallery is pleased to present reCAPCHAT, a solo exhibition by french artist Jimpunk curated by Manuel Fernández.
Jimpunk is a wellknown net-artist who has been using Internet as context for his art practice from late 90's.
reCAPCHAT use the reCAPTCHA system, an extension of the CAPTCHA test that recognizes text in images to determine when the user is human or not. Jimpunk has modified these systems to generate a nonsense chat, an intervention in Twitter where every time a user fills out the reCAPTCHA, is published in an account open for the project, creating a new and unexpected spontaneous way of experimental communication.

On Kawara Time Machine
Dates:
Tue Apr 03, 2012 10:10 - Thu May 03, 2012
Location:
Winnipeg,
Canada
On Kawara Time Machine", 2011/Ongoing, Website, HTML, javascript, CSS
In On Kawara Time Machine the viewer is given a heightened awareness of death and of the passage of time.
A javascript counter automates the On Kawara time-based "Date paintings" from his Today series. The script begins on January 4, 1966, the date of Kawara's first painting, and counts upward toward the actual date checked in the operating system clock. The CSS code produces the look of the paintings, using futura bold typography on a black background.
The project will be completed on the date of On Kawara's death, at which time a new variable will be added to the code to make the counter end (reset) on that day.
