BIO
Annie Abrahams has a doctorate in biology from the university of Utrecht and a grade from the Academy of fine arts of Arnhem. In her work, using video, performance as well as the internet, she questions the possibilities and the limits of communication in general and more specifically investigates its modes under networked conditions. She is an internationally regarded pioneer of networked performance art.
She has performed and shown work extensively in France, including at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and in many international galleries including among others Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló, Spain; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; the Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art, Yerevan; HTTP gallery in London and NIMk in Amsterdam; festivals such as the Moscow Film Festival; the International Film Festival of Rotterdam and the Stuttgarter Filmwinter, and on online platforms such as Rhizome.org and Turbulence.
She teached at the university of Montpellier in the arts department. (2002-2005) From november 2006 to january 2009 she curated the project “InstantS” for panoplie.org. She also curated and organized the “Breaking Solitude” and Double Bind webperformances on panoplie.org in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Webflaneur 4.0


Webflaneur 4.0

http://webflaneur.net

Annie Abrahams & Clement Charmet

A kind of compressed browsing, like sometimes those dreams, that condense
the weight of a whole day in a single action, in which everything gets
mixed.
This feeling of "watching the cache" of our browser (the hidden ?)
A discovery tool that brings us back to the earlier ages of the web, when
"flaner" was still possible.

If your stroll is very slow, please try another URL or come back at another
moment of the day or find a faster connection.

Re: Charlie puts NMA's down...


Art is a closed system that only sees what it already knows. (And is
very badly equipped to access new information)

I think we have to defend new media art
we will have to be missionaries
we will have to educate

we will have to infiltrate
we will have to explain
we will have to promote early netart

And at the same time we should go on to intertwine different spheres,
to develop new ways of seeing the same, never seen before, to
experiment beyond techniques, to develop new ways of generating sense.
Don't forget we (at least some of us) are on the internet because we
don't want to have "art" as our only customer, consumer nor as the
most important vector by which we work.

Yet, we want recognition from the art world because that's the place
we feel at home (at least some of us)

Restart reading at the beginning.

PS 1
What's wrong with watercolours? I would be delighted if as many people
wanted to learn coding as watercolours. One can make cutting edge art
in watercolours, but it's rare.

Art is rare. So the article does not disappoint me. It talks about new
media. We exist!

PS 2
Please ARN explain us a bit more about your poietic aggregator?
Indeed, how many persons are behind?
Tell me why this is more than just another way to produce beautiful
abstract images?
I would like to have them too :)

Bitter times, I wish I could reassure you."
.news series.

http://www.bram.org/press/rassur

I used a movie from http://www.beirutletters.org , several
realvideofiles from "rassur" on bram.org and internetsources as De
Volkskrant, BBC, CNN and Bild. This piece is multilingual.

It uses pop ups, Realplayer and Quicktime plugin, and needs a fast
connexion and computer.

It's about three minutes long.

Re: Police officer killed in Berlin?


http://bram.org/beinghuman/poll/hans/violence.php

What is happening when violence is declared art ?
Why should someone do this ?
What does it mean?

Re: Re:


I think you didn't get Patrick May's message:

"> From my perspective, the problem with this project is that it
consumed all memory on the server, leading to 3 server outages over
the weekend. Unfortunately the question of whether to ban is a moot
point, since I am compelled to block a denial of service.

"no more rhizome" if he doesn't block mi_ga
at least that's what I understand
Is that what you want?

bye
Annie

ps
I like mi_ga
