> Dear all,
>
> We're gathering again next week, TUESDAY, August 26, at Eyebeam for an
> evening with Dublin based artist Jonah Brucker-Cohen. Jonah will
> review his own work revolving around the theme of "Deconstructing
> Network" both physical and online. He will discuss some of his
> projects that attempt to challenge accepted notions of network
> interaction from networked software hacks and rule-based systems to
> translating virtual processes and conventions into the physical world.
>
> Finally he will talk about the Dublin Art and Technology Association
> (DATA Group), an informal group he co-founded in Ireland that has had
> over 12 monthly events in Dublin, a large symposium earlier this year,
> electronics for artists workshops, and aims to showcase art and
> technology projects from local and international artists, musicians,
> designers, students, academics, and more.
>
> Jonah Brucker-Cohen works as a Research Fellow in the Human
> Connectedness Group at Media Lab Europe in Dublin, Ireland, and is a
> Ph.D. candidate in the Networks and Telecommunications Research Group
> (NTRG) at Trinity College Dublin. He received a Masters from ITP and
> spent two years there as an Interval Research Fellow creating
> interactive digital / networked projects. His work focuses on
> subverting existing relationships to human / networked interfaces by
> building new real-world inputs to networks, redefining how information
> is used and disseminated online, and shifting virtual processes into
> physical forms through networked devices and experiences. His writing
> has appeared in numerous international publications including Wired
> Magazine and Rhizome.org, and he was chosen as a net.art judge for the
> 2003 Webby Awards. He is the co-founder of the Dublin Art and
> Technology Association (DATA Group) and won the 2001 International
> Browserday with his project "Crank the Web." His work has been shown
> both in the US and internationally at events such as DEAF,
> Transmediale, SIGGRAPH, ISEA, Whitney ArtPort, Ars Electronica and
> others
