I am proud to announce that I will do a presentation at the next edition of Pecha Kucha Barcelona.
You will ask yourself now: What is Pecha Kucha? …so here a short description:
“Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global – as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world.”
The event takes place on May 20th 2009 at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya (Map) and the entrance is free if you register for the Día del Emprendedor.
There will be a whole bunch of other people from different creative backgrounds, so check out the speaker’s list and attend Pecha Kucha!

Citroyen
To be an idealist in a system that threats you with lemon drops in your eyes is luxury, rather than challenge. The lemon is the ambiguity of this system that uses and exploits you.
Ser idealista dentro de un sistema que te amenaza con gotas de limón en tus ojos, es un lujo más que un reto.
El limón es la ambigüedad del sistema que te compra y que te exprime.
In einem System, das seinen Bewohnern Zitronentropfen in die Augen flösst, ist es eher ein Luxus als eine Herausforderung Idealist zu sein.
Die Zitrone steht hierbei für die Doppeldeutigkeit mit der dieses System dich benutzt und einverleibt.

cctv: what are you looking at?
Closed circuit television (cctv) can be considered as the symbolic incarnation of surveillance and control of habits in public spaces.
Since the whole topic concerns me a lot, I was delighted to find a copyleft-picture of a banksy-stencil on flickr. And – within one afternoon – I brought this great conceptual idea to motion.
The underlying sound collage is based on samples by suonho and the whole clip is licensed under the creative commons license.

Fernsehen 2.0
Auch beim öffentlich-rechtlichen Fernsehen wird fröhlich ge-webzweipunkt-nullt: Polylog.tv ist ein Vorzeigebeispiel, wie man Beiträge der Sendung Polylux wiederverwerten und in eine Community einbringen kann. Außerdem besteht für Filmemacher die Möglichkeit, eigene Werke dort in der Sektion “Wildpark” zu präsentieren.
Also habe ich auch ein paar Videos hochgeladen – und siehe da: Ravalejar wird seit einigen Tagen als “Highlight aus dem Wildpark” auf der ersten Seite promotet! Somit landet das Video als handverlesene Auswahl in der “polylog-Videothek” – Ein Hoch auf die öffentlich-rechtliche Redaktion!
Screening at Mau Mau Underground
In the late 1990s, Gallery Mau Mau has been a counter-cultural artistic space in South Africa, where many exhibitions and happenings took place.
In Barcelona, there is a location that takes a quite similar approach and, this is probably the most obvious point, dedicates its name to this original gallery:
The Mau Mau Underground. It is an old industrial building, that now functions as a mixture between an art gallery, a lounge club, and a stylish place to enjoy independent or experimental movies and shorts.
This friday, June 1st 2007, the crew of Mau Mau Underground will be screening several of my shorts, together with some animation stuff of BoumanStudios, also from Barcelona.
The proyections will start at 22:00 and if you like to see them, here you can find how to get there. There is no entrance fee.

17th International Videofestival Bochum
From June 14th to 16th 2007 the 17th edition of the International Videofestival Bochum will take place at the lovely and unofficial capital of the Ruhr Area – Bochum.
“We once again present a selection of the latest in video art, from narrative to experimental, sets by internationally renowned VJ acts as well as a multi-varied supporting programme, comprised of lectures, workshops and a guest festival. We are particularly proud of living up to the festival’s name by screening a wealth of international contributions. In addition to three thrilling days, an unparalleled late-night programme awaits our guests. At three parties in three different locations, DJs create the right vibes with electronic beats, and VJs participating in the festival have the chance to prove their skills in homey club atmosphere.
The Videofestival considers itself a platform for enthusiasts of video-esque moving pictures and wishes to establish itself as a forum for video artists, activists, documentarists, theorists and each and every one who simply enjoy watching videos.”
Unfortunately I won’t be able to be there this year, but the video 60 seconds that I made with Sandra Trejos in Switzerland last year, will race for the GrandVideoSlam Award. I suggest everybody to see some shorts at the festival – it’s free and definitely worth a visit.

Cortalamos en Los Alamos!
Este miércoles (21.3.07), como siempre en el bar Los Alamos,
habrá proyecciones de diferentes cortometrajes – incluyendo el video-danza 60” que hice con Sandra Trejos en Suiza el año pasado.
La entrada es gratis y la dirección del bar es la siguiente:
Bar Los Alamos, Calle Escudellers 12 – Barcelona (Barrio Gotico, metro Drassanes)
Además, este es el programa completo para el 21. de marzo 2007:
SUBJUNTIVO de Alejo Ubach y Bruno Zaffora (Buenos Aires 2005)
Un hombre que perdió la memoria se ve forzado a realizar una investigación y descubrir quienes son las personas que aparecen en una foto segundos antes de morir. Pero no sabe que descubrir la identidad de esos extraños es aun más peligroso que rehusarse a hacerlo.
60” de Fritz Gnad (Suiza 2006)
La ciudad suiza de Bienne podría ser denominada como el epicentro de la puntualidad suiza, ya que en ella se encuentran las manufacturas de los relojes Swatch, Rolex, y Omega; pero además, también se puede percibir fuertemente el pasar de los segundos en la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes y de la ciudad en general. La coreógrafa costarricense Sandra Trejos y el videoartista alemán Fritz Gnad, en su videodanza “60 Segundos”, se acercan tanto al tema del tiempo como al de su percepción.
HEAVEN de Santiago Riscos, Angela Mogollón y Rafael Cano (Barcelona)
Andrés quiere suicidarse, pero no sabe lo que le espera detrás de la muerte… ¿Seguirá conectado de alguna manera al mundo de los vivos?
ANTIVIRUS de Santiago Riscos, Rafael Cano, Khris Cembellín y Santi Justribó (Barcelona)
El sistema es un asco, pero al menos los amaneceres son bonitos… Todos los archivos duermen en sus carpetas, pero el Agente especial McAfee de la patrulla antivirus vela por la seguridad del sistema y defiende a los archivos de los correos sospechosos.
SPLIT de Luis Yrache Jimenez, Marcello Vai y Andrea Maccaroni (Barcelona 2004)
SHAKY WHITE GUYS MAKING FRIENDS de Erik Eliason (Suecia 2007)
Otra forma de amistad entre hombres. Un viaje audio-visual con elementos mezclados entre video y animación.
CUNT WISH BLUES de Erik Eliason (Suecia 2006)
Sueños de un chico que vive en una isla.
SPLENDID EYE EXPLOSION de Marco Silvestri (Barcelona 2006)

ravalejar
El Raval representa, en esta obra, una expresión local de la globalización. Este barrio, que es al mismo tiempo un nicho de culturas en constante interactividad y fuente de creación artística, nos muestra imágenes de un street art marcado por las diferencias sociales, culturales y el ritmo urbano de una ciudad en cambio constante.
Todas estas características del Raval han sido posible obtenerlas sin necesidad de encontrarnos precisamente en ese sitio. Internet nos ha facilitado obtener imágenes del Raval, que nos permiten conocerlo desde los ojos subjetivos de sus habitantes o visitantes. El proceso creativo de esta obra ha sido meramente descentralizado, gracias a las licencias de Creative Common, las cuales permiten el uso libre de materiales visuales y de audio. ravalejar se convierte, así mismo, en materia prima para futuras creaciones.

The Raval represents in this work the local expression of globalization. It is a cultural niche of constant activity and, at the same time a source of artistic creativity. These images show a street art marked by social and cultural differences, and an urban rhythm of a city in constant change.

La Ciudad Blanca
“Es como decir que a la ciudad la pintan de blanco y cada uno se encarga de ensuciarla…”
La ciudad blanca refleja el sucio paisaje de aquellas ciudades y pueblos latinoamericanos que debido a las intervenciones externas, impregnadas de políticas neoliberales, van decayendo y cambiando las estructuras de los espacios públicos y privados, tanto de las instituciones como de sus mismos ciudadanos. Es un loop de oscuridad, suciedad e impotencia sobre este monstruo en que se ha convertido aquella ciudad.
Hoy en día la resistencia es evidente, pero así tambien la contínua presencia de las potencias sobre estos territorios.

'maschine-mensch'
interview i did with tobias zucali about the installation ‘maschine-mensch’ at ars electronica 2006.
filed under: ars electronica interview me video
humans, controlled by machines
the installation ‘maschine-mensch’ by christopher rhomberg and tobias zucali is located on the central plaza near linz’ art school. It has won a honorary mention on the ‘next idea’ category of last years prix ars.
the installation focuses the relationship between humans and technology: the machine (an assembly line and a computer) transports coloured cubes and forces the human to remove cubes of a certain colour by stimulating its muscles with electric shocks. This makes the human slave of the machine which controls its private movements.
This simple concept of removing a cube from the moving line is quite complex to realize since the human body is not as easy to dominate as mechanical machines. this contrast fits exactly into the concept of this years ars electronica: ‘simplicity – the art of complexity.
Additionally i did an interview with tobias zucali that includes some takes of the ‘machine’.

videoslam im coolibri
heute gebe ich mich dokumentarisch: eine ankündigung in der februarausgabe des coolibri für den nächsten videoslam im intershop am 14.2.06….
aber natürlich habe ich den artikel nur wegen dem schrägen foto (von nati und mir) samt bildunterschrift eingescannt und veröffentlicht!
videoslam, again!
die frohe nachricht: ich habe schon wieder den videoslam gewonnen! zusammen mit kay und ein paar anderen leuten haben wir innerhalb von zwei tagen eine sehr gute kleine produktion (und post-produktion) fertig gestellt!
das video heisst “less students” und verknüpft videomaterial mit (nachgestellten) c64-game-sequenzen. demnächst wird der gekrönte clip auch hier zu sehen sein, bis dahin freu ich mich allein und mit dem publikum, das von “less students” überzeugt war!
