PORTFOLIO (1)
BIO
Ursula Endlicher's work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. Since the mid 1990ies her practice has been bridging the gap between the World Wide Web and physical reality. She translates the social and structural components of the Web into choreography for performances, into installations, and objects. She just recently showed her new online data performance called "Light and Dark Networks" (2012), commissioned by The Whitney Museum for Artport, on Whitney.org. She has exhibited and performed her work internationally in venues such as ZERO1 Biennial in San Jose, the transmediale festival in Berlin; SIGGRAPH Asia, Japan; Jersey City Museum, NJ; Postmasters Gallery, New York; the Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn; and at the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw, Poland. Her net-art work has been commissioned by Turbulence, and by the Whitney Museum for artport; her Internet/theater work has been presented by the "Theater am Neumarkt" in Zürich, Switzerland. She participated in the Virtual Residency 2.0 at Location One, and was invited to several international Festivals on networked culture and performance. She recently gave a "Lightning Talk" at the LISA Conference at the Guggenheim Museum, NY. Her work is part of the ursula blickle's videoarchiv at the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, Austria, and the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell University.

Facebook User Labor Enactments
The code = The choreography
Facebook User Labor Enactments is a new live performance by Ursula Endlicher, which uses ULML code (=User Labor Mark-up Language) as choreography. In the performance on November 13, five performers and the audience will together shape the course of the show.
Using Burak Arikan's newly developed ULML-based software application which collects user activity on Facebook, the performance will combine this online information as well as audience submitted ideas right on stage. The public is invited to add movement directions to a database which will be used by the dancers during the show. The audience can also try out their own movements of the ULML language!
Facebook User Labor Enactments is a collaborative event breaking down boundaries between user and consumer, performer and audience, and is driven by a continuous exchange between Web and body.

tabootheater 2.0
Dates:
Sat May 24, 2008 00:00 - Sat May 24, 2008
Location:
Switzerland
We would like to invite you to join us online today - or at the theater if you're in Zürich - to watch and join our sampling sessions of blog entries, developed projects during the week-long theater lab which are inspired by the blog, and the discussions and performances that will be staged via skype and re-enacted in theater space.
You can participate in the dramaturgy by typing into the shoutbox - as it will be spoken aloud into the theater space, by adding entries and tagging them - as they will change the display of the tag cloud on stage, and by commenting or adding posts into the blog - as it will trigger additional improvised performances, discussions and other projects.
Watch the stream to follow the seven hour event and participate in its flow!
What: Tabootheater 2.0
Where: Theater am Neumarkt/Chorgasse/Zürich/Switzerland and online at http://www.theateramneumarkt.ch/tabublog (Click on Live Stream)
When: 17:00 GMT+1/ 9:00 AM EST - 22:00 GMT+1/ 4 PM EST
Hope to hear from you / see you!

April 4+5 Two more Website Impersonations performances to go!
Dates:
Fri Apr 04, 2008 00:00 - Fri Apr 04, 2008
You are invited to dance html with me this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during three new "Website Impersonations" Performances at the Performance Mix Festival at LMCC's Swing Space@Seaport in New York (210 Front Street corner Beekman).
Schedule:
“Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited #10 - www.orkut.com” (April 3, 5:30 PM sharp)
“Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited #7 - www.msn.com” (April 4, 5:30 PM sharp)
“Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited #1 - www.yahoo.com” (April 5, 5:30 PM sharp)
Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited (2006-2008) is a live performance series, which utilizes Web code as choreography. In these performances I am embodying the "character" of a Website - this time I have a cast of performers joining me! - and perform its html code, which is fed in from the Web "on the fly". During each of the performances the source code of the website is immediately translated into ongoing movement instructions, representing different html tags. These instructions derive from the html-movement-library, an online database of user-submitted movement suggestions, and from other parts of the html language. The sound accompanying the performance is another translation of the code - it is interpreted as a musical score. The audience on location is invited to participate in the html dance.
