Transfer3D - Speed Show WROCŁAW 

The first Speedshow to hit Poland arrives tomorrow (17th November) - for the uninitiated, a Speedshow is an exhibition of Net Art that takes place within an internet cafe.

Transfer3D SPEED SHOW will explore the episodic ideological background as well as trends of art that refer to the issues of three-dimensionality and interactivity. We are reviewing trends that are emerging now, and explore the evolution of three-dimensional object creation. Currently, we are at a pivotal moment where a new world of art is closer to the foundations set by virtual reality. The invited artists dissect these issues and experiment in various techniques with new technological possibilities offered to us by the Internet we have today.

Many of the featured artists are on Tumblr: Anthony Antonellis, Kim Asendorf, LaTurbo Avendon, Max Capacity, Aaron Chan, Manuel Fernandez, Isaac Hicks, V5MT, Dominik Podsiadly and more. Somehow, I’m submitting to the show as well …

FAKE ART – an exhibition by Michał Brzeziński

Polish artist Michal Brzeziński explores the relationship between representation and truth in art and science:

What does the idea of the FAKE ART exhibition consist in? The nature of art, according to Brzeziński, lies in the sign. The sign is the material means (the medium) and the object to which it refers (meaning). Digital video, though, does not have the characteristics typical for other media (a pixel is not a feature of vector graphics, image flatness is not a feature of a 3D image, and each image may be printed or projected in various ways.) Thus, it is features of the final form of presentation, not features of the digital image, that constitute artifacts and visible features. In this respect, the digital image is a perfect potentiality: its characteristic feature is a lack of features. Brzeziński has coined the term of ‘d-effect’ in order to render the double relationship between an effect and a defect, to undermine ‘failure’ aesthetics by introducing the term of ‘fake’.

Michal introduced me to great Polish artist Wojciech Bruszewski so is very knowledgeable in exploring important concepts in contemporary art.
