0P3NR3P0.NET 

An online gallery space and archive for anyone to submit works of Glitch Art.

Created to part of the GLI.TC/H 2112 festival in Chicago, anyone can submit a piece of work which they have created (as long it has it’s own URL - this isn’t necessarily a problem, a link to your uploaded GIF from Tumblr, a video from YouTube or Vimeo, if it has a URL it should be fine).

Works will be shown at the festival, as well as available to be seen online. Once the festival is over, the works will be kept as an archive.

The GLI.TC/H 0P3NR3P0 is an open/public repository of glitch art worx. It’s a modular art&&archive project serving multiple goals

• ◆ it’s been developed as an open port for anyone anywhere to submit glitch art worx (that can be represented by a URL: i.e. video, images, sound, web) and have it exhibited/shared at GLI.TC/H 2112 (Dec 6 - 9, Chicago IL)
• ◆ after GLI.TC/H 2112 it will continue as an ongoing archive where artists can continue to submit work and likewise curators can program/source from

International Teletext Art Festival - Germany 

ITAF is now going to be shown in the biggest Teletext country in Europe! There will be an exhibition at Pflueger68 starting on the 16th August - the poster (top image) uses one of Max Capacity’s entries, and to my amazement, they used on of mine for the flyers … featuring Max!

Nam June Paik’s 80th Anniversary : Nostalgia is an Extended Feedback

Poster for an event at the Nam June Paik Art Centre on the 20th July 2012, the date that would be his 80th birthday:

For Paik, ‘nostalgia’ was not a mere yearning for the past. It was rather a practical act of ruminating on his dreams and passions for the future that had been impossible to realize in the past. Similarly, the exhibition wishes to go beyond a conventional retrospective of the artist. Unfolding ‘the future of the past’ that Paik envisioned, we hope this exhibition will become a convivial feast of science, technology, philosophy, arts and culture all together.
Paik tried to incorporate the potential values of cybernetics, robotics and informatics for humans into art. His unusual view of the world was not that man and nature would devastate each other due to scientific technology, but that man, machine, and nature would be able to come together. We believe that all contemporary artists participating in this exhibition would also have a sense of community with a strong nostalgia for this world view of Paik’s.

International Teletext Art Festival 2012 

To be held in March, exhibits and submissions will be broadcasted on Finland’s national broadcast service.

To anyone unfamiliar to Teletext, it was an information service that was supplied through televisions (mainly Europe) throughout the 80s (more at Wikipedia).

Anyone is eligible to submit work, but the deadline is the 25th of January. To make your own, and you have a PC, you can find instructions plus software via here.

I will warn you - despite the lo-fi level of the graphics, it’s a bit more trickier than expected. Here is an example I put together a year ago:

More information about the event can be found on the official page here 

Artist Max Capacity has created works using the Telextext format as a canvas - examples can be found on his Tumblr here (he has submitted work for the event!)

PS - the above examples have been taken from a teletext event from 2006 by the same organizers - you can see the rest of the entries here.

1960s Computer Art Pioneer Gets a Retrospective in Chelsea via Hyperallergic

Above: Manfred Mohr, “P-159, Sewing A” (1974), plotter drawing and sewing, 13.75 x 16.5 (Image courtesy bitforms gallery nyc)

Earlier this week, I posted about the availablity of a PDF catalogue of Manfred Mohr’s show in Paris 1971, featuring examples of the early computer artist’s work. By accident (by that I mean, via Robbie Jack on Google+) I discover this show is on at the Bitforms Gallery in New York

Impressions of the exhibition can be found at this Hyperallergic blog post

An unconventional showing of Otto Preminger’s 1944 film-noir ‘Laura’ at The Aubin Cinema, Shoreditch, London UK

Sounds interesting …

ScreenDeep, the people that brought you the post- apocolyptic bunker experience now offer this interactive screening of ‘Laura’. Media, live performance and interactive mystery-solving align with exhibition pieces to bring you the strangest film screening you have ever been to.

The same team did a really interesting project before called ‘The Red Restaurant’, which was a play within a stylised-installation, a restaurant designed like a 1940s movie setting. You were having a meal, and in the same location that you sat in the middle of a performance!

It’s on this upcoming Saturday (September 17th) - more info here

Disturbia - BBC Concert Orchestra for Halloween

This sounds really interesting - BBC Orchestra performing on Halloween at the South Bank Center in London, performing tracks by Aphex Twin and Jonny Greenwood:

As an alluring alternative to mainstream Halloween entertainment, the BBC Concert Orchestra weaves scintillating tendrils of sound with an unforgettable psycho-dramatic musical tapestry.

Plunge into the nightmare world of a fragile woman, whose only link with reality is the telephonic voice of her ex-lover… Poulenc’s classic psychodrama La voix humaine is based on a play by enfant terrible Jean Cocteau, director of cult film Orphée.

Immerse yourself in the writhing string sounds of Penderecki’s groundbreaking Polymorphia, whose avant-garde techniques conjure up nameless terrors, amply demonstrated by its use in The Exorcist and The Shining.

Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, provides a 21st-century spin on Penderecki’s work with his 48 Responses to Polymorphia, and the edgy world of contemporary electronica comes into focus with Patrick Nunn’s orchestration of Aphex Twin’s Nannou.

Finally, experience the dizzyingly extreme emotions of Berio’s spine-tingling electro-acoustic fantasy Visage. Featuring the erotically charged vocal improvisations of Cathy Berberian, this iconic radiophonic extravaganza was banned from the airwaves in Italy, proving too pornographic for radio.
