Genesis

Kan het leven zelf vertaald worden in een computercode? Kan een computerprogramma leven of zelfs kunst voortbrengen? Sinds de opkomst van de computer in de jaren vijftig lijkt het leven zelf 'informatie' geworden. De informatie-metafoor, 'Leven = informatie', reduceert het leven tot genen, bits en een reeks van abstracte tekens.
De tentoonstelling Genesis onderzoekt hoe de 'informatie-metafoor' - op verrassend wijze - zowel in kunst als in wetenschap op dezelfde manier terugkomt. Met werk uit de beeldende kunst en de wetenschap onderzoekt de tentoonstelling de verschillende invullingen en de beperkingen van de informatie-metafoor. De tentoonstelling bestaat uit twee delen. In het eerste deel onderzoeken kunstenaars en wetenschappers hoe vruchtbaar de informatie-metafoor is (geweest), in het tweede, meer experimentele deel, ontdekken kunstenaars en wetenschappers hoe ze aan de reducerende informatie-metafoor kunnen ontsnappen.
Levende kippen, vlinders en biorobots
Tijdens Genesis lopen er kippen door het museum, vliegen er vlinders en zwemmen er zebravisjes. Tussen deze fascinerende levende have bevinden zich werken van Ad Dekkers, Mark Dion, Charles en Ray Eames, Eduardo Kac, Adam Lowe, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Koen van Mechelen en vele anderen.

Sleep For Health (1950)

Amerikaanse voorlichtingsfilm met een heerlijke Panamarenko droom erin.
via A/V Geeks

How Long Is A Good Nap?
THE NANO-NAP: 10 to 20 seconds Sleep studies haven't yet concluded whether there are benefits to these brief intervals, like when you nod off on someone's shoulder on the train.
THE MICRO-NAP: two to five minutes Shown to be surprisingly effective at shedding sleepiness.
THE MINI-NAP: five to 20 minutes Increases alertness, stamina, motor learning, and motor performance.
THE ORIGINAL POWER NAP: 20 minutes Includes the benefits of the micro and the mini, but additionally improves muscle memory and clears the brain of useless built-up information, which helps with long-term memory (remembering facts, events, and names).
THE LAZY MAN'S NAP: 50 to 90 minutes Includes slow-wave plus REM sleep; good for improving perceptual processing; also when the system is flooded with human growth hormone, great for repairing bones and muscles.

New technologies allow human beings to create biological forms, which then introduces aesthetics as a component in biology and evolution. This aesthetization of biology then links it to art and raises questions about the implications for evolution.

Nina Katchadourian

I'm a great believer in misunderstandings as fruitful starting points for art works. Moments of confusion can be incredibly expansive mental spaces, where you hover in a kind of vastness, trying to extend this state as long as possible until some clue provides context, or some bit of information anchors you once again to what's actually going on, delineating and determining what you should be understanding about things. Most people have had the experience of sleeping in an unfamiliar place and for a moment having no idea where you are when you wake up.

Hamish Fulton

vanuit je (luie) stoel achter je (zware) PC de (fraaie) flashsite van wandelkunstenaar Hamish Fulton bekijken.

Hamish Fulton describes himself as a "walking artist". For more than thirty years he has undertaken demanding walks in many parts of the world, and drawn on his experiences to create distinctive artworks using text, graphics and photographs. He aims to "leave no trace" in the landscape, and he acknowledges that his art cannot represent the experience of a walk. "What I'm interested in," he explains, "is presenting a sort of skeleton of something, and then the viewer fills in what's missing, maybe from your own experience."

Hayfa Abdelhedi

Titre : Artiste-chenille Date : 2004 Durée : 8 mn
On an exiguous scene all black, the artist fastens a wire. The length of this wire is such as it will take him 24 hours to expect the end from it. As the hours pass, the interlacing of the wire becomes an obstacle which disturbs the mobility of the artist. The artist is, the such caterpillar which builds its chrysalis: captive of its creation and exhausted by this performance. This performance is completed with the disappearance of the artist: like the butterfly of the oaks, it is based so well in its space that, when it ceases being driven, it escapes from our perception. This illusion is possible the more so as our glance is lost in the complex network of the woven fabric.

Maria Kiesner

What maria kiesner paints is townscapes. This classic painting genre has urban landscape and architecture as its topics. But Maria's paintings tell us that architecture is not only there around us. It is also within us. We get brought up surrounded by walls which stigmatise us and play around our imagination. Sometimes banal and transparent as they may be, at other times, not only do they exist stronger than ourselves, but also lie heavy upon our past and tomorrow.

PARIJS - De Franse filosoof en socioloog Jean Baudrillard is dinsdag op 77-jarige leeftijd in Parijs overleden

Baudrillard formuleerde vrij scherp de postmoderne visie op de functie van actuele kunst. Met name sprak hij over het kunstwerk als "genaamtekend" object binnen een systeem van objecten en het kunstwerk als fatale strategie tegen het zinvolheidsdenken.

He wants observations. There is no judgement. Or else in ambivalence, the double meaning : positive and negative, the image of our world offering the best and the worst. Colors are chosen without choice. Why stop? He loops.

Since 1963, artists-architects-poets Arakawa and Madeline Gins have worked in collaboration to produce visionary, boundary-defying art and architecture.

Stay Alive••• Gins and Arakawa vs. The Grim Reaper

by Aaron Kunin

January 15 - 21, 2003
For the past few decades, artist-architects Madeline Gins and Arakawa have been saying that people do not have to die. They are, according to their latest manifesto, Architectural Body (University of Alabama), "unconditionally supportive of life." Unconditionally means that they do not accept death as a limit on the human condition. On the contrary, they argue that mortality is not only negotiable but even reversible; as architects, they want to create spaces in which death is impossible.

villagevoice

Consider this: An organism-person allied with, in close correspondence with, surroundings that guide skillful coordination of bodily actions ought to be able to escape so-called human destiny, the as-if-ordained downhill course of things. Not only will houses and towns that architecturally guide and sustain an organism-person help her to compose, execute, and coordinate actions more skillfully than was ever before thought to be possible, they will also automatically enlist her in a thoroughgoing architectural questioning of the purpose of the species. An architecturally guided and sustained organism-person should then be able to reverse that destiny known to have been the lot of billions of other members of her species; when it becomes possible for an organism-person simply to go on indefinitely, a reversible destiny shall have been achieved.
